Do you thinks urinals in public restrooms is a civil rights violation? I saw an article that said a lot of men do not like using urinals and would rather use stalls. Do you think it is violation of a man's civil rights to expect him to urinate without privacy? What if females had open stall restrooms? What if a restroom only had urinals? Should men have the option if stalls too?
If you are a man what do you say and what do you prefer? |
| Doesn't bother me in any direction, except I do not like the pee trough, OK? THAT one bothers me |

| I'm not a man so I can't tell you how they feel about urinals but the guy above says women pee in front of each other all the time. I would like to know where he gets his info from. That's not true. It's pretty weird if strangers pee in front of each other. Women's public restrooms have stalls so they don't have to see each other pee. |
At what age is a guy able to go to a public restroom alone? My daughter is 3, my husband wants to let her start going to public restroom alone at 4 or 5. We are in disagreement, even if he is going to be outside the door. Of course this is when I'm not there or another female we know. The issue is also she's very independent (she makes us wait for her outside of the stalls now) and I don't like the guys bathrooms (urinals). She's too curious and some people are sick. |
| The source listed below said 7. I think it also depends on the maturity level of your guy. This article is a good one though, you should check it out. (you need adobe acrobat to read it) |
Imagine that you have entered a public toilet meant for the opposite sex. At which point do you realized it? Please select the most appropriate response:
(A) As soon as you notice the Male or Female sign upon relooking at the toilet door
(B) As soon as you notice the presence or absence of the urinals
(C) As soon as you notice that the other users are of the opposite gender
(D) As soon as the other users (of the opposite gender) or the cleaner informs you to get out.
(E) Two or more of the above indicators to tell you that you're in the wrong toilet.
(F) All of the above indicators to tell you that you're in the wrong toilet. |
Umm..
(G) None of the above.
It was deliberate. The women's line was just too long, and well, the men's bathroom always hardly has anyone. So I, along with a few other females, made our way to the men's toilet to relieve ourselves. |

My answer is C! This happened to me a few years ago when I went on a trip to see relatives. I was about ready to board the plane when I decided to use the restroom really quick...and in my hurry to do so I accidently walked into the men's room. You all know how airport restrooms are--most of them are huge and have large entrances--and while a normal person would notice the men/women sign, if it's crowded, you're distracted or in a rush, or loaded down with luggage...or all of the above, which I was...then it would be easy to walk into the wrong one. And that's exactly what I did, only I did not realize it until I came out of the stall after doing my business and saw two men standing there! OHMIGOODNESS, that was humiliating BEYOND WORDS...and to make matters even worse, both of the guys were laughing and as I ran out of there, I could hear one of them say to the other that he knew there was a female in there because he had spotted my purse sitting on the floor of the stall I was in.
There was another incident when I was a little girl and I walked into the men's room at Wal-Mart, but just like the other time, I had no idea until I left the stall and went to wash my hands and there was a man standing at the urinal...LOL...and no, I had NOT noticed the urinal when I had first walked in!
No big deal! This stuff happens. But yes, at the time it is EXTREMELY embarrassing, I'm not gonna lie. |
Women: this may sound odd, but what do you think? Women, ever since we were five, our mothers taught us to swat in public restrooms to avoid germs and what have you. The problem is that it takes forever, hurts your legs, and more often than not is a mess.
What do you think of a public female "urinal"?
What I mean is that they would still be in stalls or in a private area where it would look like a toilet only it wouldn't have a seat, it'd be higher up, have bars you can hold onto above you for balance, and flush lever that you step on.
It'd be more sanitary and faster in my opinion. Thoughts? Am I just crazy?

| It does sound like a great idea but there would have to be something to sanitize the rails! Great idea, though. Public restrooms are awful. |
Ok, this might sound wierd, but I have recently started to get panick attcks in public restooms? one day, i was really tired and I was at walmart. I accidentally went into the wrong bathroom. I didn't even see the urinals on the wall. I went into the stall and used the potty. then someone came in and the pee sound was wrong. it was like they were standing up. then I looked at the feet under the stall and saw big man feet! I thought OMG!!!! im in the wrong bathroom. so I yanked my feet up so he could'nt see my girly shoes. i was dying. I had to wait until he left to slip out. I prayed no noone saw me. but another guy came in and then another one! I was stuck in the stall hiding! then it was all quiet. I was desperate to get out of there unseen. so i bolted out the door only to run face first into a man in the bathroom. he was so quite that I totally didn't know he was there. my heart was pounding. i said I was sorry and ran out. I waited for the next 3 days to be arrested for being in the wrong bathroom. they have cameras there. but nothing happened.
so here is the problem. I second guess myself when i have to use a public bathroom. after I am sure i saw the lady sign and go in I panic then go back out to look to make sure it was the ladies bathroom. then other times im in the bathroom and then panic and wonder if i did it again! i look out the crack to see if i see urinals. other times I listen for a female voice or look out the crack to see if I can glimpseps the person walking in to make sure they are female. but every time now I panic once im in the bathroom. I worry that I went into the wrong bathroom again. is this normal? |
| It's definitely normal to accidentally go into the wrong bathroom, but it's not really normal to be so worried about repeating the incident. I remember back in 6th grade I accidentally walked into the men's room on a field trip and saw one of the most popular guys in my grade peeing, and I thought it was, like, a huge deal and I was so embarrassed. I would take extra caution to go into the women's room for, like, a month, and I would always search the walls for urinals and stuff. But then, eventually, I just kind of got over it and realized that going into the men's room isn't the end of the world. Chances are that if you ran into a guy in there, he might be puzzled and you might be embarrassed for a minute, but nothing else will happen. It's not like he's gonna beat you up or something. Heck, now I'll even purposely go into an empty men's room if the women's room is being full. So basically, my point is that you'll get over it in time. Although, judging by what you said, it sounds like you might have OCD or something, so you might want to see a professional if your having a lot of trouble getting over this. |
Have you ever accidently walked into the wrong public toilet (gender) ? doesn't have to be in public - maybe at work or at college or at a hospital * coughs *, have you accidently walked into a restroom - and thought to yourself 'hmm thats strange, there use to be urinals against that wall before...' but then seconds later it all makes sense...omg im in the ladies toilets, and you VERY carefuly get out of there ?
it happened to me the once - at college, the 'missing urinals' didn't quite compute up there, and i actualy entered the cubicle pulled my pants and down and prepared to drop a captains log.
BUT thank god - the 'strange bin' beside me FINALLY made me come to the conclusion that this was indeed, a female toilet.
**** happens, but it didn't happen in there for me that day haha ! ^^ |
| OMG yes one time. I was rushing because i needed to go # 2 really bad. I know this building pretty well and i thought the bathroom from men was on the left. i ran in sat down and did my business till a pair of womesn pumps came in the stall next to me. I waited long after I was done till it was quiet and snuckout |
Does Ashlee Simpson still have both female and male parts? It is common knowledge that Ashlee Simpson was born with female and male parts and the public was told that her male parts were surgically removed right after birth. But now a female reporter states that she saw a drunken Ashlee in an LA nightclub pee into the men's urinal standing up and tinkled afterwards. Is this true? |
| haha. this is a very retarded question but funny since i think ashlee simpson is super annoying and talentless. just like her bimbo ditz sister. |
