Ladies using the Gents

CDfm

A funny thing happened on the way back from the North today. I pulled in for petrol outside Drogheda and went to the Gents to take a wiz.

It had women in it. Brazen as you like there being a queue or whatever in their facilities they took over. I wouldnt mind but they werent even using the urinal but standing around in a very nonchalant way.Very french sez you.

Now -if I getting caught short used the ladies or barged thru the dressing rooms in a Ladies Boutique what reaction would I get.

Whats off limits that were not so before.,

If it was the other way around, bloody murder would be screamed and the gards would prob be called (in a pub anyway).

That kinda thing is always happening in nightclubs

Well if you where using the ladies when the gents was empty then yes, that would be odd. But if the gents was full (has this ever happened?) you could use the ladies if there was no one in there.

Personally, I've never been in a situation where the gents was full with a queue and the ladies was empty. I have observed situations (airports for example) where the ladies is full and nobody is in the gents though.

Personally, I use the disabled toilets if available. They get way less foot traffic, it's like a little apartment in there and I don't think I've ever seen a disabled person use them.

This upsets me greatly. :mad:
Toilets can seriously impact the quality of life a wheelchair user has.
These bathrooms need to be pristine condition for safety reasons, if everyone took your view they would be unusable for the people who actually need them.
What is more, Wheelchair users often have problems with their bladder.
For someone in that position to have to wait and possibly have an accident, because of the pure ignorance of an able bodied person.
It is just plain nasty.


And euuwww! I'd never use a jacks.
Boy smells!

I do enjoy the size and comfort the disabled toilets afford too. Always well kept and stocked up. Handy bars to hang onto for stability if a bit tipsy or just needing a bit of extra purchase. Use them as often as necessary and available.

Don't mind women in the mens' jacks but I did see a girl pissing into a urinal while standing up. It was in Sin e and was very impressive to see.

Got me wondering now CD.

But if there was more of that going on then I'd be more than happy to have more shared toilets. There's a few of them around now. Or at least they weren't demarked enough that I noticed it was male and female sections.


Another funny one was a friend of mine held his dog up to piss in the jacks in a pub. But when the dog was nearly finished it must have been in a little discomfort and bit the chaps hand. My mate jumped in pain and shock and dropped the dog into the bowl!!! Nearly beats the girl slashing standing up.

My only reason for starting the thread was to know the correct ettiquette to use in these situations.

thanks tommy

Correct procedure would be to swagger up to the urinal, give them a wink. Piss like a racehorse, making to to fart long and loud. Shaking your leg to get a good note.

Extra points if you've been on the guinness.

Cicero

Procedure:

Arrive at mens toilet to find queue of women out the door
Ignore queue and proceed to main toilet entrance.
Turn, smile and wink at the woman closest to the entrance door and say...this won't take long, I'll be with you lovely ladies in a minute.

Close door from the inside, turn and address remaining (now scared looking) women inside the toilet with the following:

Good morning ladies, sorry I am a bit late. You are all most welcome to this mornings' annonymous sperm doner clinic...we can do this the traditional way, or I do have this here cigar holder which should act similarly to a test tube...now, who was here first?

Fcuk it,any woman brave enough to chance the mens toilets in a petrol station deserves to be applauded.

One of my favourite haunts has a unisex toilet and I really like it. There are no urinals just cubicles. The overheard conversation are always a giggle especially from strangers to the club who haven't yet discovered that the toilets are shared. Most fun is when I insist at having room infornt of the mirror and elbow my way in past the female preeners so I can have my turn.

Can't not link to this

I personally wouldn't go into a gents. But some places have unisex, and some places actually have a single room for ladies, and single room for gents, both of which are disabled access, so everyone has to use them because they're the only ones.

CDfm

when my daughter was young they wereva godsend because of the accessability and as a single guy with kids mighty.

star-pants

Actually CD that's a very valid point, women can bring their kids (girls or boys) into the female toilets, whereas to bring a girl into the gents... well if it was just cubicles it wouldn't be bad, but given it's not, it makes things very awkward for dads out with their kids.

Even for nappychanging facilities, some places still only have this in the womens toilets. Although some disabled toilets have this in there so that men & women can use it.

If it was Sin e she may not always have been a girl and may have made a mistake from force of habit.

She was all woman. Very beautiful too.

It has been on occassion a bit tricky when my daughter was a little younger too. Did the whole shielding the eyes like blinkers on a horse while frog-marching her to the exit bit. Much moreso for the awkward position you're putting the bloke in. Thankfully she's 6 now...and she likes to use the disabled loos too. Good on her.

This annoys me greatly, but the only time I've seen it is when the queue for the gents was shorter than the queue for the ladies, but there were still two queues.
The only real problem I have is that a guy going into the ladies would get no-end of grief, so if that's the way it is then stick to yours and I'll stick to mine.

It's illegal for a man to be in the ladies toilets where as the reverse is not illegal.
Again victorian laws as a 'lady' would never do that and that way if you were in the gents you were not respectable and the men got to not have what ever 'fun' they wanted in there distrubed.

As for unisex toilets in this country as long as they have clearly designated male and female areas they get away with it. The toilets in the church manages this, and does have a sign directing ladies to one side and gents to the other.

CDFM if I had of been you I would have asked them to leave and if they refused said it to the station attendant and asked for a contact number for the owner.
Seriously you are entitled to have a piss in peace.

Oooh that'd be an awful lot of bruhaha especially at a garage where you just want to get and go and get on. Especially considering how often this event turns up and in particular in a filling station, i.e: very seldom.

I'm curious as if any gentlemen would go to the lengths of disturbing oneself in order to make the point about being entitled to have a piss in peace?
I think most blokes would, rightly so, make light of the event. Be a gentleman about the experience as I'm sure that in most cases you'd come across it (excluding bars late at night) the woman would have a pretty good excuse that:
A. Wouldn't be your business.
B. She probably doesn't want to go into detail about.

They may well not be ready to leave when you ask which in my world is fine.

metrovelvet

Or she's pregnant. That kind of pee is very hard to hold in. Or has colitis or chrons. Have you seen the queues for some ladies' rooms?

Great post.

Only I was tired and crabby I wouldn't have cared.

Anyway -you seem to have an answer to the little legal problem. All toilets should be Gents. Snowie would be speeddating and all in the world would be right. :cool:

In fairness metrovelvet, with the exception of pregnancy which is fairly obvious, these illnesses would be a lot to take on board for a bloke when considering why a lady would be using the blokes. The general "getting caught short" rule of judging really only need apply.

Pregnancy isnt always obvious. The endless pissing starts pretty early, along with the puking.

I have to use the disabled toilets anyhow as I have a toddler with me and we cant both fit in a normal stall. Have never used the gents ever myself. Just wouldn't.

I'm fairly up on the pregnancy malarky and yeah grand, you're right it can happen ealier than the pregnancy is obvious. So put pregnancy in with the rest..."being caught short". Gentleman's response to a lady using or looking to use the gents? "work away love, I don't wanna know the details, take as long as you like".

Really? I did not know this was a law. Tis rather ridiculous. Considering women's are cubicles only and mens would have an open section thus they'd be more exposed if the wrong sex entered.

I think I posted this in another thread, but in Whelans I was queuing for the ladies (massive Q) and the girl in front of me asked one of the guys coming out of the gents was there any free cubicles. He said yes, she grabbed me and dragged me in (I was just bewildered and suddenly realised I'm in the gents!), she's like here hold the door for me. I'm averting my eyes to the heavens and holding the door closed whilst apologising to whomevers using the troughs. Second I heard the girl flush I left posthaste.
Granted I should have just left her there, but she was rather drunk and I was sober so I was sorta caught between staying and holding the door closed for her dignity or leaving.

But I was shocked somewhat that she'd so carelessly go into the gents, when as has been said, if a guy went into the ladies he'd be lambasted!

Well as a guy I am definately not pregnant and dont have the other or any other conditions - but thanks for your concern.

It is a service station in the country and i think its cos I was tired and crabby. Its like they forgot where they were tbh even though there is a urinal there. Then again, its near Drogheda so it may be the custom there.;)

Unless you can support this I believe it to be a myth. I have been involved at EHO level in suitability for a restaurant for public use - including toilets, and the only restriction of that nature is that there be a lockable door, either at the entrance or a cubicle.

I can't see how this could possibly be law either. Well an enforceable one at least especially as the toilets we're talking about are privately owned.
Any chance of a link?
If it was law I would suggest that it was one of those very, very old ones that were thrown in the bin a few years ago. Could well be wrong so would be interested to see the link.

Some of the laws from the 18th and 19th centuries are quirky. For example, have you ever seen a women prosecuted for urinating in public, its not because they dont , but because men get prosecuted for exposing their genetalia (or so a cop I know explained to me once).

By definition how can a woman expose genetalia and men were prosecuted for homosexuality and women not cos Queen Victoria could not understand lesbian sex.

Men get prosecuted for public urination and women dont.

I think you'll find that a lot of that guff hit the bin a few year ago CD. Big clear out in the DoJ with a lot of that tosh, I think about 5 years ago.

CDfm

maybe but i thought itb was the useless laws like taxi drivers asking you if you had plague that got the bullet.

Some laws stayed as imperfect as they were.

Anyway -I wasnt slagging of the law just saying there were old reasons for it. I had no fear of being molested -mind you Drogheda women do have a fearsome reputation and I could have been objectified and may not even know it:eek:

Madame Razz

A well known pub in my home town would forcibly eject any misfortunate female who thought herself cute enough to go into the gents to avoid the queue for the ladies.


Twas rather a funny thing to witness I must say:p

Michael B

I often see this in Bars but to be fair I can't blame them, the queue for the Ladies is always ridiculous. I think there should be more Ladies toilets put in to places where possible. It doesn't overly bother me, I feel sorry for them having to come in to the Gents more than anything, it isn't a pleasant place to be

BaconZombie

OP, I take it you have never been to Fibbers....

Back in the day, there used to be as many woman using the Gents.
Also 95% of on thought they also had the "right" to skip any queue and take the next free cubical.....

CDfm

yup- i remember from my student days thinking it really weird when 2 girls went to the same cubicle

its something i will never understand

Nevyn

it's a bit odd but not as odd as having to tell them to stop shagging and moaning and get out cos there are kids using the loos as well.
