Things that I marvel at

[Plastic Bateman]

It's absolutely true. If the were trolling I would have said the men's room was nice and tidy and always smelled of lilacs.

That reminds me of the day they swapped the locker rooms at my old gym. Unfortunately for me, the sign explaining that they'd switched roles for the day for maintenance purposes had fallen over, so I absent-mindedly strolled into what had been the men's room with headphones on (playing the He-Man version of What's Going On, no less) to be confronted by a gaggle of half-naked women...

...and the most appalling mess I'd ever seen in my life. Towels strewn everywhere and left for the staff to clean up. Discarded sanitary products. What appeared to be a mound of spilled talcum powder in the middle of the floor. Worse besides. Somebody asked if I'd missed the sign, so I made my excuses and left. I've never forgotten the sheer chaos compared to the relative order of the men's locker room, though.

I don't think I'd ever been in a public women's restroom until I worked at that club. It was not what I was expecting at all. I wasn't expecting it to be so disgusting on a constant basis. It made me look at the women that frequented the club a lot differently.

Are u implying that women can be as violent as men?
Cuz thats sexist

crows, you throw the sexist word around more than an feminist does.

He's accepting the auto-correct when typing 'sexy'.

Are you guys from bigger cities because I just don't see this.

That was when I lived in Oklahoma City.

I have an idea. Why not turn the bathrooms into singles and not put a sex to them. No one would be sharing at that point and all that would have to happen is have routine cleanliness checks. If a restaurant had a line of 4 bathroom doors there would be enough bathrooms for people to use and the only thing people could complain about was them being full if it came to it. The bathroom could be stocked with the bare minimum personal needs for both sexes. That is the only way i see it working where you wouldnt descriminate anyone.

There would have to be all stalls then. More stalls means less toilets. Depending on where this is, that would mean more lines. Also, having men pee into toilets means more mess. So...it won't happen.

Also, there are plenty of men who wouldn't like women walking into a bathroom while men they're peeing into a urinal. We've been mostly talking about women's privacy, but there are plenty of men who want it too.

The French have got the right idea by just pissing in the street.

You should have immediately known it wasn't the men's locker room because you weren't greeted by a hairy, 400 lb, 78 year old man doing the nude Captain Morgan pose with a towel over his shoulder and reading the paper. Maybe I'm in the wrong gyms but that's every single one

lol, they should at least make them look like a bush.

 

[Lejuan]

Every single thing in the world is sexist, you know? Everything everywhere is sexist.
Urinals are very sexist, our money is sexist, our art, clothing itself is sexist.
Air conditioner is extremely sexist for example. Make up is sexist, long hair is sexist.
Not my fault we live in a sexist universe.

Still sounds better if you replace 'sexist' with 'sexy'.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

ween, the point is there would only be stalls. lines are a sacrifice for privacy, you cant have your cake and eat it too. guys peeing on the seat is an issue guys have to deal with as well, you know, we sit at times too. spot checking is just going to have to be the norm.

 

[Lejuan]

My workplace has unisex restrooms. There is a larger stall that houses the men's urinals, the rest are stalls.

They are also the student restrooms - no staff-only toilets. Ugh.

I guess if you say so.

Anyone I've known that used gym locker rooms, all have that thing in common... old men love letting their bags air out.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Zero shame at that age I guess.

Oh my, all these talk about restroom and such....
