Have you ever noticed that women sometimes go to the men's room when their own restroom is "too full" -- but if a guy were to go to the ladies' room, they'd all throw a hissyfit, right?! HOWCUM?

Yeah, ladies in the men's toilet usually have a better reason for being there, since it's rare that men's toilets would have a longer queue.

In all seriousness, I watched the football World Cup final in a gay bar.

Also, male creeps and stalkers are a lot more common than female ones, so the women in the loo are more likely to think you're one than men would do in a similar situation.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

men like female crepes because they are all desperate and they don't mind where the next shag is coming from amirite

― unfished business (Scourage), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that's a stereotype.

Notice how this thread also functions as sandbox ILEpitaphs?

― White Collar Boxer (DomPassantino), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

no ILEpitaphs no credibility

it's like a little time capsule! in twenty years we will look back upon this moment and share a chuckle

men like football and beer. women are more sensitive.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

It has to be pretty crowded in the Ladies' before I'll go into the Gents' because the smell in there is just putrid.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll totally go to a single-stall 'ladies' room' if there's no-one waiting and there's a line for the men's and j'en ai les dents du fond qui nagent.

― Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Or is it baignent?

― Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

or se noient?

No, they should wait their fucking turn since they're so fucking slow. No use ruining short queues for men just because they spend 10 minutes in the stall.

what is this thread about

men's rooms are gross.

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

ladies' rooms are pretty gross too. but less so, and in dif ways.

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I enjoy getting all complicit with a stranger in the ladies' room line when the men's room is empty. I wink at her and say, "I'll stand guard for you if you do for me." It feels like we're being naughty.

― Maria :D (Maria :D), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

that one lady in the commercial accidentally goes into the men's room to fix her contact and then it's like uh oh gangbang - want to get away?

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

The best thing about the men's room is peeing.

this thread is brining back memories of being at an ani difranco concert at cal berkley stoned out of my mind.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

that sounds completely terrible

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

This thread is bringing back memories of the time I used the ladies' in our local - but there was nobody there at the time!

― It's Expected I'm Maud Gonne (Modal Fugue), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i made the best of it.

if you ever get stuck at an ani difranco concert, play this fun game: spot the dudes.

i spotted a dude about 10 ft in front of me wearing a SAMHAIN t shirt.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Now are you sure it was a dude?

I do the same at gender studies lectures. Though more often than not it's just me.

If you're a dude, using the ladies' room is a great way to meet women you'll never talk to again.

True story: I did this once and the dude I spotted was Maceo Parker!!

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I have totally made a break for it into the mens with a couple other chix at a big outdoor movie thing once. The guys were all "wtf - HEY!" and pissed off but what they gonna do - turn around and wave their willies at us?

Trust us boys: we only do this when it is ABSOLUTELY neccesary, because without question mensrooms STINK SO BAD.

Can girls pee in urinals?

HINT: ANY PLACE WHERE THERE IS A SHITTY LINE FOR WOMEN'S ROOM HAS A STINKY MEN'S ROOM.

condition and furnishing of men's rooms : condition and furnishing of women's rooms :: circa 1952 Alabama "colored" facilities : circa 1952 Alabama "whites only" facilities

i still remember the first time this girl i worked with was like "i was so dizzy i had to go into the ladies' room and lie down on the couch for a while" -- the men's had a trough!

In answer to "can ladies" etc: yes if they are either very careful, or very drunk (and don't care).

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I knew Laurel would have the answer to that one.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I've seen a girl piss into a urinal and though I wasn't sober, she was pretty close.

― Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Close to what? You? The urinal? Nirvana?

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha.

XP: There are simply some things you learn to do when all the toilet tank covers in other stalls are being reserved for secondary purposes (and you've already kicked the door a few times and no one emerges).

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

^ waht?

― Del Monte Young (ex machina), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I stood next to a blind man at a urinal the other day. Look out.

cf why there are girls in both bathrooms at daddy's on weekend

― Del Monte Young (ex machina), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I meant she was close to sober.

She had the good luck to be wearing a skirt which she held up with one hand, approached the urinal frontally, brushed aside her knickers and got very close, pulling up and spreading with two fingers of the other hand before letting loose. I would kill for a glimpse of the look on my face that night.

Sorry if that's TMI

― Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Obviously it left an impression.

― It's Expected I'm Maud Gonne (Modal Fugue), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, that's the generally acceptable method, but it helps if you're a little taller than me, too. NB: I did wait until the room was clear of Y chromosomes.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Her girlfriend was mad 'cause she hadn't had the moxie to join us and waited another 15 minutes in line for the ladies.

― Michael White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I always want to break down the stall door and drag those slow-to-piss women out by their hair.

Ever been to a gay bar?

-- Tuomas (lixnix...), February 20th, 2007.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't see that.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 11:46 (seventeen years ago) link

it was a still from 'airplane'.

i have been to more than one gay bar. i'm pretty sure they had a ladies' loo.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

No, my point is that in gay bars cross-gender toilet-hopping is quite common and tolerated, obviously because women find gay men less threatening, and there's fewer ladies there anyway. So this can lead to a reverse situation than the one in the thread question: men using ladies' toilets because they're less crowded.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i dunno, maybe. it's not just about 'threatening-ness'.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 11:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Funnily enough, the only place where I have actually attempted to use a urinal was in a gay bar. I think it was on a dare. I was very young and very drunk. But if you've peed in enough forests, it's not *that* difficult. I would never repeat the experience, mind you.

I seem to recall that one loo was used for its actual purpose, and the other used mainly for assignations. Or maybe that wasn't the gay bar, maybe that was the punk rock club around the corner. I don't really remember much about those years of my life.

i was in a ladies room in a club once, chatting to a friend. none of the other women there seemed bothered. i'm not gay mind.
