1. Anyone

if the mens room is occupied or there are plumbing issues.

2. More likely women using the men's room, lines always waaay longer for the ladies room. nt

8. my friends and I have done that on several occasions at concerts at arena's

where there are long lines at the women's bathrooms. We got some strange looks but no outright hostility. However, that was many years ago and it was important to pick the type of concert. It was usually a laid back Jimmy Buffet type crowd. However there were some more lively events that we also did it but it was the eighties and we were usually too stoned (of course a contact high from the people around us, lol) to care.

Ah, the good old days.

14. I've done it myself, when you gotta' go... Ah, the seventies and eighties...

Those 'contact' highs can be pretty good!

private, not full bathrooms, but i get a lot of strange looks.

3. Out of curiosity..

Why is there no "Just women" option?

[BainsBane]

4. Why?

What's going on? Why, of all the things in the world, is this a subject of concern?

[Nye Bevan]

6. Why, with everything going on in the world, would someone post about Fawlty Towers?

9. The Lounge

is for entertainment. And Fawlty Towers is high comedy.

I'm just wondering how it occurred to you to worry about this?

11. Fine, use the women's room

Just don't ask to borrow my lipstick. I hate that.

[JI7]

5. women, girls, little boys who need parent to watch them

and no other adult who can take them to men's room .

[Demo_Chris]

10. This. nt

[jberryhill]

7. Do you have a hall pass?

[uppityperson]

12. I am no damn "lady", guess I'll have to wear a diaper

[Warpy]

13. Drag queens will survive the women's loo

while going to the gents' might get them assaulted.

I don't absolutely insist on unisex bathrooms. I don't mind sharing with drag queens, pre and post op transsexuals, and children of both sexes.

I do, however, prefer to keep straight men out.

They always leave the seat up.

15. Word. Nothing like a cold surprise wake-up. Sure beats sitting on the curling iron though. nt

[GObamaGO]

17. Exactly!

18. Ah the great ERA bugaboo rears its head once again.

Laughing is the only way to keep from crying.
