Guys who use girls bathroom

[karma_gypsy]

Our bathrooms here at work are only the single ones, and they're for employee use only. We only have two, a boys and a girls, the only difference is the boys has a urinal, I've used both before too. . . and I'm sure everyone else has as well.

[Broomjockey]

Since then, I've mellowed, and I have been known to use the men's room when I have to, especially when the women's room is unavailable. I would appreciate it (and, guys, let me know if this is true for you) if they would put up mini-stalls around urinals.

Not really gonna get into all the strange little bathroom quirks guys have, but having the little divider walls between urinals means they all get used rather than every 2nd urinal. If you meant mini-stalls including doors, that's a little too much trouble for a 1 min. activity. If you're really that pee-shy, use a toilet pre-equipped with a stall.

I would still feel safer peeing around other women. I suppose it's ingrained in me now.

[VeganButterfly]

If I saw a man go into a women's bathroom, I'd probably go in afterwards to look for a hidden camera.

The only thing I want in a men's room is an unoccupied urinal. Stall, no stall, high, low, whatever, just lemme' at it, I gotta pee....

i know not all women are like this but this issue has such a double standard
womens bathroom has a huge line? just use the mens room
for some reason mens bathroom has a huge line? tough luck, if you use the womens bathroom you're a pervert or just vandalizing it

[Argabarga]

Yeah, I noticed that too, was surprised there were a few folks who were quite cavalier about just barging into the mens room if the womens room was full, I can only imagine the "Pervo SC didn't want to wait for the mens room" threads that would result from it happening the other way.

[Seanette]

Maybe I'm just the shy type (smile), but it would take dire emergency (e.g. severe intestinal problem, and NO hope of reaching facilities in the women's room in time) to get me to use a men's room.

As for males in the women's room, I'm OK with boys under about six or seven (IOW, too young to be going to public restrooms solo) coming in with Mom/Grandma/big sister/aunt/babysitter/other female caretaker, but would have qualms about someone puberty-age or above, and would have similar reservations about girls going into the men's room.

Now, in a really small business (I worked in one such), there were separate restrooms for men (only two or three were around at any given time, usually) and women (all two of us), but since doors were lockable, each restroom was single-person capacity, and it was a small enough place you had some idea who was where, not such a biggie, since that's a bit more similar to a private residence kind of situation.

I can see this heading for an arguement about whether or not your gender should be allowed to use the other gender's bathroom. Things will probably get heated, and I really don't want to have it lead to that. So let's keep things civil here, please.

[Banrion]

I have no problem using a mens room, and have no problem with a man using the women's room. Really why does it matter, especially in a women's room. Woment are NEVER exposed to anyone else in the room. Men should be the uptight ones, and none have ever seemed to mind. If it comes to that, I usually knock on the door and ask if anyone minds, and if the stall is occupied.

What I don't get is how men use the troughs they set up in arenas. You have 40 guys standing around in a circle shoulder to shoulder all going at the same time. EWW!

At the hotel we usually stay at in France, the public bathrooms in the bar are quasi-unisex. This means that there is a main area with urinals and washbasins, and a set of stalls for men and a set of stalls for women. Its strange at first, but you do get used to it.

Nobody minds if desperate people use the "wrong" stalls - the place sells EXTREMELY strong Basque beer and stays open until 4 in the morning, its getting hard to SEE the stalls by then !

[wagegoth]

I found something that disturbed me: while the (run-down) women's room had three stalls, one of which was out of order, the men's room was HUGE and very nice-looking, clean, with a nice tile floor, a long gleaming row of urinals AND something like twice the number of stalls!

... but this was a modern state college, probably designed and built within the last fifty years or so. Women peed in the fifties!

In the fifties, there would have been very few women at the college, unless they were secretaries. This is a common problem in many colleges. There will be several large men's restrooms throughout the building, but only a small women's room on one floor of a multi-floor building.

From what I've heard, it's been a fight for women professors and students to get additional restrooms installed.

[Tanasi]

I've used the mens room before, but usually because it's almost never occupied and the womens room has a flipping line.

I don't like the mens room in general, it tends to smell like stale pee.

I can't stand it, I gotta say it.....Do you prefer the smell of fresh pee?
Oh, that's better.....my spleen thanks you.

Way back when I was in the admin building at my college, the womens room was on one floor the mens room was on the other. Well I was contemplating life and I heard women's voices and I thought "Am I on the right floor?" "What am I gonna do, I'm in the wrong bathroom?", "I'll get thrown out of school." Well it turned out I was where I was supposed to be the rest rooms were stacked and shared venting.
Back when the wife and I were dating she was about 19 and we went for a day hike in the mountains. We had been hiking for several hours and I noticed she was very uncomfortable and doing the beginning of the peepee dance. I asked what was wrong and she would give a quick "Nothin". Half hour later we're crossing a bald and she finally says "I gotta go, keep and eye out." There is very little vegitation on a bald so the one little bush there did little to conceal her. Thinking this would be a perfect time to play a joke I let her get in the middle of doing her business and said "Some one is coming!". In the process of her trying to get her clothes up, she slipped and fell back in it. While I thought the situation was the height of hilarity she didn't and I had to run back part of the way to the car.

I have a question for the parents, especially the men-folk. I've been shopping with my daughters (both around 4 to 5 at the time) when I had to go, couldn't wait, the wife wasn't with me. So what do you do with the kid? You can't leave them standing outside the door, someone might snatch them, you might find someone you trust but that's not always likely. The two times this happened to me I took them into the mens room with me and put my cap/hat on them and pulled it down over their faces and made them stand facing the stall door where I could see their feet.

its the opp. at my college
better womens restrooms since it used to be a womens college
in fact its usually like that where i go around here, even at my work for some reason, unless it just seems nicer

Make alot of grunting and other manly noises, study the wall, if the trough is along one, study the ceiling if the trough is circular, when it's neccesary to look down, send telepathic message to the guys on either side, "No, dude, I'm not checkin' out your wiener....
