Unicorn States of America.
question
Cranky Pants and JoyRoses13 have submitted a question, with a photo of two doors. Imagine you’re in a bar or restaurant, and have to use the restroom. You’ve asked where the restroom is, and have been pointed to these doors. You have to go really badly, and must make a split-second decision, based upon your gut instinct. Which door would you choose?
Which is which?

So you open the “Bla” door, and there’s a line of men standing at a trough urinal. Could you really pee in peace?

There may or may not be men in there. But there’s a good chance of it. Colin was just about to go in there, when you beat him to it.

Could be. I was in rural France in the early 1960’s, and the public toilets were in the market square and were bisexual(?). You walked passed the urinal (an open drain pipe in the floor) to get to the cubicles. It was quite disconcerting standing there peeing, with women walking behind you to get to the cubicles. It was normal for them so they paid no attention to me. Perhaps Cranky has had similar experiences which is why she would totally ignore the urinals!

I think they’re called unisex bathrooms. Or gender neutral. I’ve heard of them in some foreign countries, such as Japan. Didn’t know they were in France, also.
They’re designated by a bunch of “Bla’s” on one half of the door, and just one “Bla” on the other half of the door.

It’s true. But you can install timers on your garden hoses, so that they shut off automatically after being left on for so long. Maybe someone can invent a timer for talkaholics, to shut them off automatically, also.

I think the only question that is relevant here is “What idiot thought it a good idea to use that design?” He/she was clearly stereotyping which, while we all do it to some degree, is inherently wrong, and unprofessional in a business setting. Also it makes no provision for “urgent” visits where time is critical. As someone who has had “problems” in that area, I can say with absolute certainty that if timing was critical, my thought would be “To hell with it!” and go through the closest door!

Also its not only a matter of which restroom is closer. But which one doesn’t have a line! Yes, my friends and family have already stood guard at the men’s restroom for me, for when you gotta go, you have to go!

This seems pretty common. Apparently, many businesses don’t put enough toilets in their women’s restrooms. Either that or women drink more coffee than men.

My guess is the men’s room is the one on the left, ladies on the right. Men go to the bathroom alone, hence, they have no need to converse. Even one “bla” is probably too much. 🙂
