Would you like to see unisex toilets becoming the norm?

freshpopcorn

I think I've heard of these mainly in a few nightclubs
If I'm being honest I wouldn't like to see them being introduced because as a guy I've rarely hadn't questions use a toilet and I studied and worked in hospitality before and cleaning toilets/etc came up a few times and we were always told that ladies toilets are generally dirtier than mens!

I wouldn't have a preference towards seeing them become the norm, like I don't petition for it but it wouldn't bother me if it became the norm.

God help women if they become the norm, in a public toilet a lad will never lift a toilet seat!

Any sex in the toilets is good for me.

Just take the urinal's out and they're all the same anyway.. We'll just end up with twice as many as is needed, like the pentagon.

No. I have to share a toilet with 9 men in work(some of them aren't toilet trained - it's shocking. Animals.)

failinis

Disabled toilets and ones in peoples homes tend to be unisex so I don't really mind if we get more.
Unisex toilets are fine - just annoying when the men do not lift the toilet seat!

Get out with your labels presumable CIS.... I'm gender fluid... :pac::D:P

You should bring attention of this to your boss, that is unacceptable.

Poll lacks a simple yes/no option. What about those that don't care?

groucho marx

No. I was in a nightclub in Sweden which had them. I felt really uneasy going in there, I don't know why but I feel safer with a separate ladies.

brevity

Are we talking cubicles or individual rooms?

Dunno if I'm ready for the former.

whatismyname

I'm female. It's not that I'd like to see them becoming the norm, but I don't think it would bother me either way.

Day Lewin

I don't care. There's only one bathroom in many homes, and used by males AND females.

As long as the smallest room has a flush toilet, loo-paper, water, soap and a towel and a door that locks, I care not.

Deos this mean men will men will have to queue up with the ladies to use them?

You could always just pee in the sink?

Custardpi

So long as they keep the urinals (which are far quicker & convenient to use for just number ones than queuing for a cubicle) I'm not too bothered either way. If unisex loos mean I have to spend half my night waiting outside a jacks then feck that.

twowheelsonly

No....

For some reason women always leave the toilet seat down. Infuriates me !!!

sassyj

Few places in Dublin city centre have had unisex toilets for a while, off the top of my head 2 restaurants that I can think of. Doesn't bother me or stop me going back, it's all very civilised.

DontThankMe

No it wouldn't bother me at all.
But i'm going to play devils advocate here and say: Would it not make it easier for sexual predators too assault women if they had to share toilets with men, i know they could be just as likely to assault them outside the toilet but they could be given an opportunity to do it in a unisex toilet, which wouldn't happen if the toilets weren't unisex.

The Randy Riverbeast

Don't care, would rather a toilet where I can take a **** without the entire room knowing.

They leave it down so they can hover over it and pish everywhere.

Are all sexual predators men? I think your 'devils advocate' skills are broken!

No but the vast majority of sexual assaults are commited by men

This should be good, You realise for example touching someone bum is assault Maybe men do not report sexual crime as much ?

Letree

No because women are much slower using the toilet then it would mean men queuing more.

No i don't have any statistics on unreported sexaul assaults against men so can't answer that question.
Are you denying that men commit more sexual assaults than women?

Your first post was utter rubbish and now you're derailing the thread. Just give it a rest ffs.

ahnowbrowncow

Only if they were like American cubicles were there's an inch between the door and the frame so there could be plenty of peeping and heavy breathing.

B.A._Baracus

If they got introduced everywhere it wouldnt bother me. The way it would be. But if I had a say in the matter? nah i wouldnt like to see unisex toilets.

Like, imagine this. You're a guy going to the toilet. All the urinals are in use. So you walk to a cubicle to take a piss but as you are doing this a beautiful woman walks into the cubicle beside you. So as youre taking a slash all you hear is is the biggest fart ever followed by a massive plopping noise :pac:


You know what... it's not for me :pac: Whats even worse is, if you were out on a date and you say "be right back, just gonna go to the toilet" and then they say "me too" .... but it's a unisex toilet :pac:

Someone who genuinely didn't care wouldn't take the trouble to answer a poll.

If you are in a cubicle with the door shut urinating, how are you aware of how beautiful the woman in the next cubicle is?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Seriously, is this what bothers people?
Who cares! As long as they're putting the seat up to pee and down for everyone else, no big deal. Drives me mad when mams come out of cubicles with little boys, and there's droplets of pee on the seat. Other than that, I personally wouldn't care.

I don't know if I'd like urinals to be in unisex toilets though. even though now you can buy this plastic penis thing so as you can pee standing up too. That would be fun.

whisky_galore

The wait would be a mild irritation, but I'd be far more annoyed about the animals incapable of using a toilet without leaving a trail of destruction; sh*te/p*ss everywhere, attempting to set fire to bog roll holders, writing words of wisdom on cubicle walls and breaking locks on doors.

_Brian

I'd like to see CLEAN toilets become the norm.. I've no idea what ladies toilets are like but mens public toilets are nothing short of a horror show.

Flint Fredstone

There used to be unisex toilets in Enigma club in Carrickmacross years ago. They were something of a novelty at the time but they kind of made sense having it all in the one place. Used to be a bit of craic (steady on...) there too.

andekwarhola

Couldn't care less but purely in terms of time-efficient pissing, if it means all-cubicle toilets, then no way.

What is the story with those cubicles? First time in an american office a few years ago, went to the loo and tried to use the worlds worst cubicle. Here theres usually about 6 inches from the ground to the bottom of the partition. There there was about 2 feet. As you said a 1 inch gap between the door and the frame, and the whole thing only went up to about shoulder height.

Don't worry, the mens room is as bad.

I've been places where there are unisex toilets.

Tresor, in Berlin, there's just a row of stalls, and everyone queues together. There are urinals, and they're in little stalls as well. Kinda manky, but that's what you expect from a warehouse club.

Some skanky club in Manchester, just a row of cubicles, and a communal hand washing trough, that gets mistaken for a urinal. Very manky.

We've one in work. It's reasonably clean.

There's a cafe in Athlone, and it has one toilet, so is de facto unisex. One of the nicest bathrooms I've used.

It's as much on the clientele as it is the cleaning schedule and standards.

People are **** with locks in general. There are 2 seperate push number locks in work, they can't be left open for security reasons, but there's not a week goes past where one is broken, because people are idiots. Pubs are worse, because when you add in alcohol, people get less delicate.

It's a simple lock, or a small variety of simple locks. It's not fcuking rocket science... people are equipped with intelligence (sometimes I wonder though) and opposable thumbs.

The broken locks in jacks doors I put down to scumbaggery, kicking in a locked door for a laugh, it's not their property and they don't have to pay to get it repaired.

Seeing the lines for the women bathrooms no im happy enough having them still separated. I dont fancy the idea of spending ages in line

I honestly think there is a guy out there with a lock breaking fetish, because some of the places I was in were fairly swanky places and even they had broken locks.

Fuzzytrooper

I have no interest in living in a world without urinals!

What is the benefit of unisex toilets?

whisky_galore

I noticed a lot of bogs in Germany have ordinary bathroom type taps that you have to twist to turn 'off', but by and large here they turn off automatically as people can't be trusted to turn them off.

Scumbags are not confined to any social order or class.

I wouldn't like to see urinals go, they are quicker to use and more hygienic than loos.

My brother had to break a lock in the ladies bathroom in some pub one night because I had passed out from too much vodka.

It's a bit weird in a way that a nation or region as generally prudish as Ireland (or indeed the US or UK), so firmly against public nudity...is still grand with urinals. I don't object to them, mind you. I think they're sensible, practical and quick, but still, it's a bit strange that urinating is the one time that we* are okay with baring the usually unseen!

Okay, I know there's lots of rules about not looking to either side and I presume that many blokes have made an art out of urinating without exposing themselves, but still!
