"What's the matter, they can't afford a low class hotel or something? That's ridiculous!"

And hey, we'll keep the light on for ya.

"I knew something was up when I saw potpourri dishes next to the sinks," said one sales associate.

[Houmatt]

So they are using a public restroom in a department store cruising, huh? And it didn't matter to these sick perverts if a small child came in with his mother/father?

Ecch. Just ecch.

But remember, homosexuality isn't a nacricistic hedonistic behavior driven by a mental disorder.. they are just like the rest of us /SARCASM

"At certain times of the day, you'd see groups of people, just standing around, looking strange."

If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood

Apparently not

One of the suspects turned out to be a tailor from the menswear department who stated that business had been slow and he was just trying to maintain his skill at checking inseams.

This is just normal behavior! Everyone does it - right?!?< /sarcasm>

[AK2KX]

The 16 male suspects are between 21 and 80-years-old.

Oh, barf!

[maine-iac7]

This same thing was found to be going on in one of our local RESTAURANTS - never been there again!

and it's a very good reason not to let your young boys go to a public restroom alone - it is not safe -

I remember a case a few years ago that was so horrible I can't even type it - but DO NOT let your young son's go to one alone. Make 'em dance and hold on or peeee in a bottle in the car.

[Gabz]

I could say a few things..........but I think I'll press mute on the keyboard.......

[Dallas59]

Can't go anywhere. But wait a minute...can't thses guys go to Gay Bars and do the same thing? There must some in town. Why in a public store?

"At certain times of the day, you'd see groups of people, just standing around, looking strange."

This is nothing new. I worked in the shipping and receiving area in that store over 30 years ago, when I first got out of high school. Whenever I went into the men's room in the basement (right next to the Men's clothing department), there were always a number of guys in there, each of them in one of the stalls. They would each be standing on top of the toilet, looking over the top of the stall. I had no idea what was going on, until one of my older coworkers explained it to me. At the time, I did not know that type of thing even existed. I stayed out of there from then on!

[Gorzaloon]

Can't go anywhere. But wait a minute...can't thses guys go to Gay Bars and do the same thing? There must some in town. Why in a public store?

Because they are homophobes and are uncomfortable in gay bars?

Oh.

Well.

Nevermind

Well, they do know how to dress. (LOL) I wonder if the ladies could get into this too, there are stores where a lot of men are standing around waiting on the shopper in the family. Oh wait, we want to stop this kind of behavior.

Why would a rich guy
like Pee Wee Herman get caught
in a filthy dive,

or a superstar
like George Michael get picked up
in a public john?

I'm guessing the thrill
must be extra, well, thrilling
in a "plain" locale . . .
