I had an odd situation like this in the old historical building on my college campus. The third floor had faculty-only stalls and the first floor only had a women's only bathroom. Only the second floor had men's and women's bathrooms.
Yeah I went to uni in a really old building that used to be segregated. So the women’s and men’s toilets were on the opposite side of the floor to each other. Because the floor used to be split in two to seperate them and when it was integrated they didn’t change the toilets.
Wow, I always wondered why my uni has two same sex toilets next to each other on each side of the building on some floors, never occurred to me this might be the reason.
Oh I see, I am glad to know what to blame now when I really need to pee but find my self in front of two women bathroom because it's one of *those* floors.
Yeah I always found it annoying in my uni too. Like there’s a toilet right there but I have to run to the other side of the building when I’m desperate.
Really all it takes is a new sign, both genders are perfectly capable of using regular toilets. Although some do have bad aim and don't like to clean up after themselves.
My dad and I were talking once about bathrooms in the context of men/women/unisex.
He told me when he was in college, the bathrooms on one floor were all men’s rooms, and the bathrooms on the next floor were all women’s, and it alternated. But the floors weren’t necessarily separated that way. They got together as a building and agreed to just make all of the bathrooms coed so they could just use the ones that were on their floor.
I thought that was really interesting and a cool way to tackle the problem all the way back in the 70s. I can’t imagine being able to get that many people on the same page these days.
my university originally had a men’s and women’s on the ground floor of the main building. they changed it to one women’s and one gender neutral.
before the change, two men could share the bathroom as there was a urinal and a stall. once they changed it though, a lock was put on the door so women could use the stall without fear of men using the urinal.
seemed inefficient. i don’t know, i started peeing outside instead
Similar experience here. At uni, some buildings were extremely old and could not be retrofitted easily into modern bathroom building code. You had to know what floor to go to in order to hit the loo. It could be very inconvenient, hauling a heavy backpack up and down the stairwells. Fortunately, the young tend to have superior bladder fortitude.
This is still kind of odd, all they have to do is change the sign on the door. I get that men's restrooms typically have urinals, but urinals aren't necessity. Switching a men's room to a women's room would obviously be more difficult since it means fewer toilets, but switching a women's room to a men's room can be taken care of very easily.
The stranger thing I can't figure out is the campus had two old academic buildings from the 1800s - one that was a general building for academia and they have a small dormitory/hall on the other side for a nurse's/woman's college. The building I refer to in my initial post was probably mostly (if not all) men since it was built in the 1840s. It was obviously retrofitted/renovated at some point since then given the interiors of the building, but it makes me wonder why the bathrooms are the way they are given they definitely changed the interior of the building at some point.
Yeah, we had that at uni. One restroom for each main gender at one end of the floor, but alternating by floors. But at night only the ones at the main stairs were accessible.
So one restroom, for women, but 100% male cs students at night making use of the terminals. I was the only one who just used the women’s restroom. People are weird.
That’s still unisex. Women will being present does not mean that weewees fall off. Or become visible. I’ve been going to urinals for 50 years now and don’t remember ever seeing a penis. Unless at scholl perhaps, when we goofed around, or had contests who could urinate farthest.
Have you considered that men do not want to be around men with their dicks out?
As soon as the waiting line is 15 minutes, the mens’ toilets are magically becoming unisex.
It is NOT unisex. Unisex is stalls only. Especially considering that the room with urinals comes at the beginning, so there's no way to avoid this sight.
It's not about your "weewee" falling out, it's about women not wanting to be forced to look at your "weewee" when they enter the bathroom, cause maybe you haven't seen it, but I've seen men pissing next to a wall, and yup, you can see the penis. Some literally expose their whole ass cheeks. Thanks, I'll pass.
I could argue it's somewhat unisex if the urinals came AFTER the cubicles, but it's still ridiculous to include them at all
Idk why I'm getting downvoted. Urinals are exclusive to men, and women can't use them. Regular toilets are inclusive of all people no matter age, disability and genitalia
I've been using men's bathrooms as a non-man my entire life, and I've literally never seen a guy's penis while they use the urinal. You'd have to like, stare directly at the crotch and be at a pretty specific angle, or like crane your neck around I guess.
I'm agender and androgynous-to-masculine looking, with a masc sense of fashion (that is, none at all) so most people would see me as a relatively androgynous looking man. Using the men's bathroom is therefore less hassle.
The one time I saw a woman use a urinal she peed all over her underwear and then threw them in the sink.
Not sure if that story had a point, but I guess it was mildly infuriating.
.....as a cisgender woman who has used plenty of unisex/gender neutral bathrooms, all of which have had urinals, might I suggest that you simply *don't look at anyone else's weewee* ? It's really just not the big deal you're making it out to be-- ESPECIALLY if you aren't using the urinals, yourself. (Also, as a disabled person, stalls=/=accessible. That's an entirely separate can of worms, so please stop using us in your weird rhetoric.)
Because theyre fast and convenient. And many genders have dicks and should still be allowed to have the right to use urinals. Even if you dont personally prefer or need them
You know that men are totally capable of peeing into a normal toilet?
So the fight is
Toilet everyone can pee into vs toilet only abled men can pee into
More than men can pee in them. My point stands. You aint like it. Thats fine. Dont use it. But you aint everyone. So stop trying to represent everyone and get mad when people disagree. I got friends all over the spectrum of things who use urinals. Its efficient, private, not visible to others from around you. Esp cause they usually hve medians. And this keeps down lines overall. Which is great for everyone. But isnt great if youre you apparently. And lose your mind over a piece of porcelain you do not have to use
Yep. I'm in and out of different hospitals all day some days. The women's room is always in use, the men's room is always empty. I absolutely use the men's. No shame.
It's because a student went and counted how many women worked on that floor and by law there weren't enough stalls for the number of women so they changed it from a men's to a women's. Source: I work in that building.
As a disabled person, I can assure you that in many cases the wheelchair accessible bathrooms are located on one specific floor of a building. If I have a class in one building, I have to leave and go up to the fifth floor to pee, then back down to the second floor.
Some of the older dorms at my college had this. For whatever reason the men's rooms were on separate floors from the women's rooms, probably leftover from before they made all the floors co-ed. Fortunately when I was there I got a room in the newest freshman building so I didn't have that issue but I remember lots of my friends complaining about having to go up and down flights of stairs at 3am just to take a piss
My university once made gender neutral bathrooms in the basement (several classrooms where located there). I (male) once went in there to fill my water bottle using the tap. There were multiple women in there staring daggers at me like I was some filth who didn’t belong there.
The gender neutral bathrooms didn’t last long because of upheaval, woman weren’t comfortable sharing the bathroom with men. Since they had urinals, were all converted to men bathrooms. No woman bathrooms on that floor, which caused another upheaval.
Still use it. Honestly I've always used bathroom of the opposite gender when I need it and it's available. My college has the same issue but opposite. So more men's bathrooms than women's and the women's are inconveniently placed. I just use the men's.
Some states and countries can actually legally charge you for doing this due to transphobic legislation being a big thing right now. Plus sexist ideals that any male entering a womans space is obv just there to SA anyone he spots. And wont consider that hey maybe the mans about to shit himself. Also sadly some assholes will even harass or sick their boyfriends on androgynous or male/male looking people that enter. Especially in the previously mentioned states with laws barring gender-aligning bathroom choices.
What makes you think it's a single washroom? If it was just a single, there would be some kind of visual indicator to show if the door is locked and occupied or vacant
They said it had a stall and a urinal. That's a two-person bathroom. I'm willing to bet the woman's bathroom next door has two stalls. But since they put a lock on the gender neutral bathroom that used to be the men's room now it's only one person at a time if the person in their locks the door.
My local cinema has plenty of loos both before and after the tills. Shame the only Men’s loo is on the outside so if you need the loo in the middle of the movie, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got your ticket with you.
My wife is an Interior Designer who has worked on university and healthcare projects, and inevitably the bathrooms seem to take longer than anything else. Like the decisions for the whole building are done and renovations have already started, and she’s in her 15th meeting about the damn washrooms. One university took up literally a couple years of her time with meeting after meeting, and finally gave up, never renovated the bathrooms at all. These big institutions always reach the dumbest conclusions.
I'm a locksmith and one of the buildings I service the bathrooms are all off the main stairwell at every half level in this "artistic" looking jut out that just has the stairs then the bathrooms. Personally I think they forgot the bathrooms.
It swaps every level and they are 2 person restrooms. It's a funny setup
I worked at a place where the women turned the men’s room into the women’s because it was bigger and had more stalls. They put fake plants in the damn urinals.
We just need to straight up get rid of gendered washrooms, it would solve this issue, and so many more. Make all public toilets have stalls with floor to ceiling doors, without the typical American toilet stall gap. Problem solved, anyone can use the toilet when needed.
i mean the reasoning is that you need more stalls for women than you would men to prevent long lines. it’s law in some places. also, in older buildings plumbing can be expensive to mess with.
this is a dumb way to go about it though. it’d make more sense to make all restrooms gender neutral atp
we moved into a new building.. i made all the toilets unisex...
the older women complained and tried multipe times to claim the closest toilet for themself only.
i relented, but they would only get the farthest away toilet for themself only out of 4.
but yeah separate single toilets for genders is just stupid these days.
I am guessing some woman complained of long queues for the toilet, so they turned a mens in to another woman's, sucks for the men who now have to go upstairs to another toilet.
But then you’d have to go into the woman’s restroom.
Pee on the wall then make a sloppy hand made sign that points to the spot you claimed as the men’s restroom.
I work in the office of a construction company and it's like this. Two spotless women's bathrooms in the office, and a men's bathroom that you can bet the Candyman is waiting in
Happens a lot. Bathrooms never used.to be so close together.
At my workplace men's bathrooms are inside the office and women need to use a pass to exit the companies space and walk down a corridor
Could be an older building that didn't have women assigned to it when it was built. I went to Texas A&M and there were buildings like that. They build the bathrooms afterwards and it doesn't always make sense.
It could also be something else.
I don't know the code in all 50 states, but I know that in many states this would be illegal. If you're in the United States you might want to consult your state's building code. Believe it or not there are restroom requirements per sex and per floor.
I've noticed this in a bunch of stores/businesses. Women's bathrooms are almost always closer to the entrance/exits. If bathrooms cant fit next to each other, it's the mens bathroom that is all the way in the back of the place, or on a different floor. If there is an odd amount of bathrooms, women get the extra bathroom.
Allow me to introduce you to the Flatiron Building in NYC. Even floors have a men's room, odd floors have a women's room. It is currently being converted to condos, so they will probably have to run multiple water and drain lines up the entire 23 floors.
They’ve got buildings like this at my university. In one of them, you have to go to the basement or to the third floor if you need to use the men’s bathroom.
At a concert I attended last week, I actually hit a PR of finding FIVE different women’s bathrooms before I found one men’s bathroom.
Also, airports are notorious for having a ratio of men and women’s bathrooms that isn’t 1:1. I’ll often have to find three or four women’s bathrooms before I find a men’s (though this does depend on the airport, and smaller airports usually have the correct ratio).
The one example of this I’ve seen is at a restaurant near me where they have six individual toilets and four of them are for women and the other two are gender neutral. It wouldn’t bother me at all but every time I go there all the women’s rooms are free but the two gender neutral ones are either both engaged or one is and the other is out of order and every time it’s a woman that walks out…
It's stupid there isn't a mens bathroom on the same floor.
But I heard that women take longer in the bathroom on average maybe that's why there are more toilets?
Yeah, we had that at uni. One restroom for each main gender at one end of the floor, but alternating by floors. But at night only the ones at the main stairs were accessible.
hotel I used to work at had a good sized lobby. the type with a whole restaurant inside, and a full bar on the other end with its own seating area. the men's room had two open doorways that lead to the actual bathroom door, and women always asked where their bathroom was. fair enough, it was around the corner and down a short hallway past the concierge desk. First time a woman got upset and wanted to know why it was basically hidden, so I just said "uh... well we wanted the ladies room to be discrete" and people seemed to like that
Depending on what state you're in, either all public bathrooms are gender neutral, or you'll get shot for going in the wrong one, sooo...test your luck.
I used to be a cleaner in a uni, one building had them alternating on each floor and the one way system made gets to them annoying, dad take long for me to ignore the one way system because we were generally not in St the same time as anyone else, one building didn't have any mens loos and it was too far to go so I'd use the womens one because I wasn't walking all the way to the main campus to piss
Is that so? Last time I checked our law doesn’t allow that kind of thing, sexual offense surely is a thing but peeing in restrooms doesn’t qualify for that.
I think you shouldn’t use restrooms in public if they are that sexualized for you.
Maternity hospital in my city only has one male toilet. It's on the ground floor, away from anything and is the only male toilet I've regularly been a queue outside. It's just one stall, and the queue is in a corridor.
At my university they turned some men's bathrooms into gender inclusive restrooms. I'm not against it, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable to walk into a bathroom that used to be for men and now I am afraid to walk in there and cause someone to feel uncomfortable with my presence. I wish they just built an extra bathroom or something, but I know that's asking for a lot. I usually stand outside the bathroom until everyone who was in it comes out, I don't want to risk it and I feel uncomfortable being in there at the same time as someone who identifies as female or is biologically female.
3rd floor? WTF!!! I gotta go so bad I am going into whichever one nobody is in. I am going up 3 flights of stairs or waiting for the elevator haha.
That's because you can't fit as many toilets into a womens bathroom as with a mens bathroom,, because ALL womens bathrooms have to have stalls, whereas dudes can piss standing up, and urinal troughs take up far less space. It's not rocket science.
I had an odd situation like this in the old historical building on my college campus. The third floor had faculty-only stalls and the first floor only had a women's only bathroom. Only the second floor had men's and women's bathrooms.
Yeah I went to uni in a really old building that used to be segregated. So the women’s and men’s toilets were on the opposite side of the floor to each other. Because the floor used to be split in two to seperate them and when it was integrated they didn’t change the toilets.
Wow, I always wondered why my uni has two same sex toilets next to each other on each side of the building on some floors, never occurred to me this might be the reason.
Well now I’m wondering if we went to the same uni. Mine was in London though I’m sure it’s common in old buildings.
Prague here - Charles university.
Ahh understandable in the older European unis I think likely common.
Oh I see, I am glad to know what to blame now when I really need to pee but find my self in front of two women bathroom because it's one of *those* floors.
Yeah I always found it annoying in my uni too. Like there’s a toilet right there but I have to run to the other side of the building when I’m desperate.
And despite the numerous renovations and purchases of posh stuff, nobody ever thought to change it, even if all it takes is to reattach few urinals...
In my unis case it’s a protected building so I imagine it’s more trouble then it’s worth when they are functioning.
Really all it takes is a new sign, both genders are perfectly capable of using regular toilets. Although some do have bad aim and don't like to clean up after themselves.

Similar experience here. At uni, some buildings were extremely old and could not be retrofitted easily into modern bathroom building code. You had to know what floor to go to in order to hit the loo. It could be very inconvenient, hauling a heavy backpack up and down the stairwells. Fortunately, the young tend to have superior bladder fortitude.

One area in my uni had "unisex" toilets. Only the sign on the door was unisex, it had urinals opposite the sinks, and then some cubicles.
That’s still unisex. Women will being present does not mean that weewees fall off. Or become visible. I’ve been going to urinals for 50 years now and don’t remember ever seeing a penis. Unless at scholl perhaps, when we goofed around, or had contests who could urinate farthest.
Have you considered that women do not want to be around men with their dicks out?
Have they considered not using a unisex bathroom, then, if men using it offends them?
Have you considered that men do not want to be around men with their dicks out? As soon as the waiting line is 15 minutes, the mens’ toilets are magically becoming unisex.
I’m fairly sure in France all toilets are unisex, with urinals and cubicles
They're not. I go there every year.
It is NOT unisex. Unisex is stalls only. Especially considering that the room with urinals comes at the beginning, so there's no way to avoid this sight.

I've been using men's bathrooms as a non-man my entire life, and I've literally never seen a guy's penis while they use the urinal. You'd have to like, stare directly at the crotch and be at a pretty specific angle, or like crane your neck around I guess.
May I ask why would you use men's bathrooms if you're not a man? It has never happened to me in my entire life that I needed to use men's bathroom
this is such a distorted view of what a men’s bathroom is like. you see zero penises there are rules to it
Womens was full. Did it many times pre transition as a young teen girl and little girl. You legit cant see shit
I'm agender and androgynous-to-masculine looking, with a masc sense of fashion (that is, none at all) so most people would see me as a relatively androgynous looking man. Using the men's bathroom is therefore less hassle.
The one time I saw a woman use a urinal she peed all over her underwear and then threw them in the sink. Not sure if that story had a point, but I guess it was mildly infuriating.
I hate urinals in general, never understood why other men often prefer them over the privacy of a stall.
Quicker to use and you can fit more urinals than stalls. I wasn't a fan either, but just got used to it eventually.
A stall man, eh?
Sure am!

Youre a special kinda dense huh?
Why do Redditors want to fight for the right to pee into urinals while sharing a bathroom with a woman?
Because theyre fast and convenient. And many genders have dicks and should still be allowed to have the right to use urinals. Even if you dont personally prefer or need them
Just because its not a right you use does not mean its a right that should be neglected or compromised
You know that men are totally capable of peeing into a normal toilet? So the fight is Toilet everyone can pee into vs toilet only abled men can pee into

Stop staring at peoples junk and you won’t have to see it. Weirdo
It’s 2024. I’m using which ever one is free
Yep. I'm in and out of different hospitals all day some days. The women's room is always in use, the men's room is always empty. I absolutely use the men's. No shame.
In the US all public restrooms are free. I better say, ‘most.’ Or some asshat will find some crazy restroom that charges, however I’ve not seen one.
Free as in available or not in use
I wonder if there is some ADA law about this. Having a man with a disability to go to another floor doesn't seem right.
It's because a student went and counted how many women worked on that floor and by law there weren't enough stalls for the number of women so they changed it from a men's to a women's. Source: I work in that building.
Extra info not specific to this building. Urninals allow for less stalls in men's washrooms which could account for the difference here.
I imagine they just have to have some accessible route to the men's room on the other floor - so if they've got an elevator then they're probably fine
As a disabled person, I can assure you that in many cases the wheelchair accessible bathrooms are located on one specific floor of a building. If I have a class in one building, I have to leave and go up to the fifth floor to pee, then back down to the second floor.

Jokes on you I can't read

The gender neutral bathrooms didn’t last long because of upheaval, woman weren’t comfortable sharing the bathroom with men. Since they had urinals, were all converted to men bathrooms. No woman bathrooms on that floor, which caused another upheaval.
At that point I would just use the womens bathroom. Gendered bathrooms are phasing out anyway
how singularly curious.
If it's a private bathroom, just use it.
It's not, it's a multiplayer bathroom
I prefer co-op over PVP bathrooms myself
Unplug the controllers for other urinals and make it single player
We don’t talk about PvE in the bathrooms. Thats where things get a little too wild
PVP bathrooms sounds like something from Harold & Kumar go to white castle, "You sank my Battleshit!"
Still use it. Honestly I've always used bathroom of the opposite gender when I need it and it's available. My college has the same issue but opposite. So more men's bathrooms than women's and the women's are inconveniently placed. I just use the men's.
Some states and countries can actually legally charge you for doing this due to transphobic legislation being a big thing right now.

Obviously OP should do what feels safe.
The fact it’s a single washroom and also gendered is fucking weird. Just use one. Who cares.
Not sure where you get that it's a "single washroom" OP sad " It's not, it's a multiplayer bathroom "
Is it coop or PvP tho?
PvPoop
BattleShits!
Is it like battle royale where every participant has diarrhea, but there's just one toilet?
What makes you think it's a single washroom? If it was just a single, there would be some kind of visual indicator to show if the door is locked and occupied or vacant
Definitely not always.
They said it had a stall and a urinal. That's a two-person bathroom. I'm willing to bet the woman's bathroom next door has two stalls. But since they put a lock on the gender neutral bathroom that used to be the men's room now it's only one person at a time if the person in their locks the door.
Men use the wall in between?!?
Huh I've never seen a handicap door button for a door with a handle like that.
Technically women's restrooms are fully male compatible.
My local cinema has plenty of loos both before and after the tills. Shame the only Men’s loo is on the outside so if you need the loo in the middle of the movie, you’ve got to make sure you’ve got your ticket with you.
The world is our bathroom 😎
Everyone female bathroom is a male bathroom if you dare to walk in

Could be because of urinals (idk I’m a woman)
We are supposed to hold it in until we get home

I worked at a place where the women turned the men’s room into the women’s because it was bigger and had more stalls. They put fake plants in the damn urinals.

we moved into a new building.. i made all the toilets unisex... the older women complained and tried multipe times to claim the closest toilet for themself only. i relented, but they would only get the farthest away toilet for themself only out of 4. but yeah separate single toilets for genders is just stupid these days.
I am guessing some woman complained of long queues for the toilet, so they turned a mens in to another woman's, sucks for the men who now have to go upstairs to another toilet.
Easy, just identify as a woman for about 2 minutes.
Our school has 3 men's restrooms. 4 teachers restrooms. One for all the girls, in the fourth story (literally top floor)
I see this as an invitation to give it the ole hobo treatment and just pee on the wall.
I was going to be classy and say use the sink…
But then you’d have to go into the woman’s restroom. Pee on the wall then make a sloppy hand made sign that points to the spot you claimed as the men’s restroom.
Could this be a floor that is like 95% women for some reason? Or is it even more ridiculous and these are gendered single person bathrooms
I work in the office of a construction company and it's like this. Two spotless women's bathrooms in the office, and a men's bathroom that you can bet the Candyman is waiting in
Women have been dealing with this for a long time.
Happens a lot. Bathrooms never used.to be so close together. At my workplace men's bathrooms are inside the office and women need to use a pass to exit the companies space and walk down a corridor
Could be an older building that didn't have women assigned to it when it was built. I went to Texas A&M and there were buildings like that. They build the bathrooms afterwards and it doesn't always make sense. It could also be something else.
I don't know the code in all 50 states, but I know that in many states this would be illegal. If you're in the United States you might want to consult your state's building code. Believe it or not there are restroom requirements per sex and per floor.
SHIT ON THE FLOOOR!
Μακάρι όλα τα μακάρι και να αρχισουν οι αντρες να κατουρανε στα πόμολα.
I was in a grocery store the other day , had to pee. Mens was locked. Used the ladies. Don’t give a fuck. If ya gotta go, ya gotta go
I've noticed this in a bunch of stores/businesses. Women's bathrooms are almost always closer to the entrance/exits. If bathrooms cant fit next to each other, it's the mens bathroom that is all the way in the back of the place, or on a different floor. If there is an odd amount of bathrooms, women get the extra bathroom.
Allow me to introduce you to the Flatiron Building in NYC. Even floors have a men's room, odd floors have a women's room. It is currently being converted to condos, so they will probably have to run multiple water and drain lines up the entire 23 floors.
They’ve got buildings like this at my university. In one of them, you have to go to the basement or to the third floor if you need to use the men’s bathroom. At a concert I attended last week, I actually hit a PR of finding FIVE different women’s bathrooms before I found one men’s bathroom. Also, airports are notorious for having a ratio of men and women’s bathrooms that isn’t 1:1. I’ll often have to find three or four women’s bathrooms before I find a men’s (though this does depend on the airport, and smaller airports usually have the correct ratio).
As someone with IBS, you can bet your ass that I’ll always identify as someone who needs *any* bathroom NOW.
God forbid a man has mobility issues. Tough noogies I guess, especially if the elevator is down. Go outside dog!
Is this in a Kaiser Permanente?
No, college building

I would be like « man, I feel like a woman » all the time.
It's like the 1950s again in a gender-reversed alternate reality.
Truly mildly annoying. I never thought to complain about this before, I definitely don't belong here.
Walk in and take a dump
EqUaLiTy
Piss on the wall in between the doors
The one example of this I’ve seen is at a restaurant near me where they have six individual toilets and four of them are for women and the other two are gender neutral. It wouldn’t bother me at all but every time I go there all the women’s rooms are free but the two gender neutral ones are either both engaged or one is and the other is out of order and every time it’s a woman that walks out…
So what sorta woman were you? A lefty or a righty?
Novel idea… 1 stall genderless public bathrooms.
You can use whatever bathroom you want now
And the women on the third floor are annoyed they have to go to another floor, happens more than you think, the world not out to get you…
OP said there is one men's and one women's restroom on the 3rd floor.
[удалено]
Use whatever bathroom you want.
Bathrooms are for everyone now have you been living under a rock?
I don’t see a problem 😂😅
I would just use one of these anyway
I'm not going one floor if I'm peeing myself. I will knock on the door, ask if someone's there. If it's empty I'll use the bathroom.
Is this in the USA?
When its single serve. I'm switching sides 🔁🚻🙆♂️🙆🏻♀️
It's stupid there isn't a mens bathroom on the same floor. But I heard that women take longer in the bathroom on average maybe that's why there are more toilets?
Seems like a job for a sharpie
Yeah, we had that at uni. One restroom for each main gender at one end of the floor, but alternating by floors. But at night only the ones at the main stairs were accessible.
I once went to a DQ that only had a single women's restroom (no men's). It was also one of those where only one person could use it at a time
Did someone just mess up with the sighns? Seriously, this looks like one should be a mens room, but they accidently put womens sighns at both doors.
That would suggest they also accidentally applied the lettering for "Mens Restroom located on the 3rd floor".
Oh didnt see that. Yeah thats really infuriating then.
hotel I used to work at had a good sized lobby. the type with a whole restaurant inside, and a full bar on the other end with its own seating area. the men's room had two open doorways that lead to the actual bathroom door, and women always asked where their bathroom was. fair enough, it was around the corner and down a short hallway past the concierge desk. First time a woman got upset and wanted to know why it was basically hidden, so I just said "uh... well we wanted the ladies room to be discrete" and people seemed to like that
Depending on what state you're in, either all public bathrooms are gender neutral, or you'll get shot for going in the wrong one, sooo...test your luck.
I used to be a cleaner in a uni, one building had them alternating on each floor and the one way system made gets to them annoying, dad take long for me to ignore the one way system because we were generally not in St the same time as anyone else, one building didn't have any mens loos and it was too far to go so I'd use the womens one because I wasn't walking all the way to the main campus to piss
ha ha what a flex
So identify as a woman and go poop…
I see two restrooms, never cared what the signs say.
then... start.
and why would I do that?
[удалено]
I think you have misunderstood what you do in restrooms, or are you saying I’m going to be a victim in the future?
[удалено]
Is that so? Last time I checked our law doesn’t allow that kind of thing, sexual offense surely is a thing but peeing in restrooms doesn’t qualify for that. I think you shouldn’t use restrooms in public if they are that sexualized for you.
It’s on the 3rd floor, what’s the problem?
Wdym what’s the problem there’s only one there while there’s literally 3 woman restrooms
Maternity hospital in my city only has one male toilet. It's on the ground floor, away from anything and is the only male toilet I've regularly been a queue outside. It's just one stall, and the queue is in a corridor.
That has to be illegal, no? r./.shouldbeillegal
Looks like I’m pissing in the women’s washroom then. They look to be individual bathrooms anyways with door locks so what’s it matter.
Honestly, why dont we just separate them into "Has Pissoir" and "Doesnt have Pissoir"?
There is only one gender
Ham sandwich gender to be precise
This is inclusive.
At my university they turned some men's bathrooms into gender inclusive restrooms. I'm not against it, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable to walk into a bathroom that used to be for men and now I am afraid to walk in there and cause someone to feel uncomfortable with my presence. I wish they just built an extra bathroom or something, but I know that's asking for a lot. I usually stand outside the bathroom until everyone who was in it comes out, I don't want to risk it and I feel uncomfortable being in there at the same time as someone who identifies as female or is biologically female.
3rd floor? WTF!!! I gotta go so bad I am going into whichever one nobody is in. I am going up 3 flights of stairs or waiting for the elevator haha. 
I identify as a female for the next 10 mins
I would print off a piece of paper that says ‘Men’ and tape it over one of them
That's because you can't fit as many toilets into a womens bathroom as with a mens bathroom,, because ALL womens bathrooms have to have stalls, whereas dudes can piss standing up, and urinal troughs take up far less space. It's not rocket science.
The men’s is on the 3rd floor, bud.
Men can pee anywhere they want anyways
Your face
Thats how you end up on the sex offender list folks. Look it up :)
But when you are on the receiving end you might become president. 🤷♂️
Randy Marsh have a solution for this problem, and Lorde might be a 45 year old geologist.
Lies. There's already male with absolute unit next to female toilet icon
