A couple of years ago, my wife and I were in Washington State on a trip and stopped in a small gas station for a break. I was in the rest room using a urinal when the door flew open and a very attractive young “lady” ran in and proceeded to take a dump without a so much as “excuse me”! I noticed the California plates when they drove off.

They’ll install toilets with seats that don’t go up. That will teach us to sit.

They only have one stall, so sounds okay to me, though not the reason.

My first experience with a unisex toilet was in France in 1965 as a 17 year old kid in the Navy. I was very embarrassed to walk in on a red haired (yes it was natural) lady using a European style commode (two foot pads and a hole in the floor). This one wasn't a one holer.

The natives had a big laugh at my expense.

My guess is that this will quickly return to a practical if unofficial gender-specific situation the first time a guy pees on the seat.

That said, is there any way to get Islamic foot-washing facilities installed?

Now guys get to stand in line along with wimmin waiting for the chick to get out of the derned stall.

There has to be a way to tie this extra standing in line with global warming so we can kill this off fast.

The women will be happy with the guys peeing all over the seats, I imagine.

Hey, a muslim could be washing his feet in the sink while a woman was using the toilet. It's more efficient.

they’ve come a long way from the days when that big Samoan guy would guard the door so Kathy Ireland could take a shower

cafeterias providing both left handed, and right handed coffee mugs

That's going too far, too fast!! I think they should start out slow with left- and right-handed pencils and paper. People need time to get used to all these changes.

Add to that, the fact that most women I know (especially when I was in college) are completely neurotic when it comes to ‘#2’ (and others knowing about it) and if they’re sharing w/men that could be bad...

Maybe she had IBS and had moved far beyond the point of really caring anymore!

If these are larger single toilet family bathrooms, this is a good thing. Family bathrooms in malls and movie theaters are a lot better for us wheelchair users than the handicap stall in the other bathroom.

That will them to stand (or hover). Think about it.

Of course, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, but that's the way I see it.

I prefer using the family restrooms at the airport! Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone else.

One of the funniest moments of my life was at a Rod Stewart concert in Chattanooga. There was a 100 woman line at the ladies restroom. I had to go REALLY bad... waiting was not an option. I asked one of my male friends to check the Mens room. He said it was clear. I hightailed it in, went potty and flushed. When I walked out of the stall - MY BOSS was using the urinal. LOL. I just went right by him and said “Good Concert!”

Based on observations and experience I will guess that these will be used by mostly or all women. We can use the bushes guys.

Hey, we had co-ed bathrooms at Radcliffe in 1972.

Yup. I was in a graduatge program there that year, and was astonished when I learned this news.

Then there’s this: The proctor told us at a dorm meeting that if you were outside smoking dope(on the front steps), and you saw a Harvard cop car go by - no problem. But if you saw a Cambridge cop car ease by, “bogart” the joint and try to look normal. Hah!
