Woman says she was booted from Garth Brooks concert for using men's bathroom
Fox News.com ^ | May 11, 2016

A North Dakota woman said Monday she was kicked out of a Garth Brooks concert before the show started for using the men’s bathroom.

Samantha Bergh told Valley News Live that her husband took her to go see the country music superstar as a Mother’s Day gift. The concert in Fargo was attended by thousands of fans wanting to see Brooks.

“Right before Garth Brooks was to start we went to the bathroom. The women’s line was a good 100 people long,” Bergh told Valley News Live. “It was insanely long and there was no wait for the men’s so I just went into the men’s.”

Bergh told the TV station that when she came out of the bathroom a FargoDome security officer and a Fargo police officer were waiting for them. Bergh said she was sober and wasn’t rude to the officers, but was still escorted out of the venue.

So the rent-a-cop and Fargo police officer had nothing better to do than harass this woman? Both need to be fired. I suspect we’ll see an apology in 3, 2, 1...

This has happened for years at concerts, sporting events and even county fairs. Just last fall, I escorted my wife into the men's room at the county fair because the women's room line had about a 30 minute wait. What the hell goes on in there to make it take so long?

Anyway, it's never a hassle. Men are just bemused when a woman is forced to go in there and nobody really cares.

Consequently, I've accidentally walked into a women's room a couple of times. It's not like in the movies where a bunch of women in frilly underwear clutch themselves and scream. They just give me that slightly bemused look and I just get out of there as fast as I can.

So now we have the bathroom police.

One of the hundred or so women who was waiting in that long line for the womens' room most likely dropped a dime on her just to be a jerk.

” Line at the ladies room backs-up around the corner and down the hall. They get desperate and crash the mens’ room. Most guys I know are actually OK with this.”

Same here. If you’re hot, believe me, we guys are Ok with it LOL

Seen it so many times too. The most recent one was seeing the Stones’ in San Diego a year ago and some chick walks in to clean her face. The younger dudes were gobsmacked while us older dudes were Meh’

Ridiculous. Who cares if she used the mens’ room? I’ve seen this happen more times than I can count.

Just wondering?
Does a male police officer, who today identifies as a female, have the right to do a body search of a woman? Does a male nurse, who today identifies as a female, have the right to do a full cavity search on a woman? Sure gets confusing.

Perhaps this should be a question to some of our progressive politicians.

Duh. Only perverted men are allowed to use other people’s facilities.

That said, women need to learn to not visit when they potty. Get in and out.

In days gone by we encountered this all the time at Nascar races and it was a non-event. In the current “world gone crazy” situation, it’s a major news story.

If you’re a guy in that situation, and you see the line for the ladies room backed up half-a-mile, what are you gonna say? You can only have sympathy for the woman who really has to go.

Jeez, People!

Here’s the rules WE grew up with (pay attention):

1. Have penis: use men’s room.

2. Have vagina: use women’s room unless full. In such case women can use men’s room; at which point men use urinals only, while women are allowed to CUT IN LINE for the stalls.

3. Female with young vagina in tow: Use women’s room only .

Female with young penis in tow: Allowed to use women’s room, but must stay with child.

4. Male with young penis in tow: men’s room only.

5. Male with young vagina in tow: In most cases, can trust another female in women’s room with child. In not, may use men’s room in stall only, and allowed to CUT IN LINE to use stalls.

Transgender or ‘Questioning’ (shouting mode on):

YOU HAVE A MENTAL AND OR PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER.
GET HELP AND/OR GET RIGHT WITH GOD.
LOOK DOWN AT GENITALS.
FOLLOW ABOVE STEPS 1-5 (Note: penis = male; vagina = female)
IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU, THEN GO FIND A TREE OUTSIDE.

(shouting mode off)

Any questions?

The why is simple.

1. Restrooms typically have the same size footprint, but you can place 3-4 urinals in the space used by 2 stalls. So for the same size room, you get more capacity.

2. Urinals: just unzip and go. Easy for the guys. Sit-down toilets, clothing has to be arranged to go, and re-arranged when you’re finished. Which adds time to each “transaction”

And since most of the traffic is to dump fluids. . . .a men’s room is a generally a lot quicker to get through. . .

Who cares?? She’ll care once she’s videotaped, groped, spied on or harrassed. Then in typical American fashion, she’ll probably turn around and sue the business for failing to protect her. Theres a lot of drinking going on at events like these and it would be wise for women to not put themselves in enclosed areas that are meant for men.

We are so far gone culturally that this is even a topic. But it’s not like the sane people brought it up I suppose.

I can’t believe that the likely candidates running in the general both seem to not grasp your number 1. If you would have told someone that 30 years ago they would have scooped you up with butterfly nets.
