In reply to the discussion: Have you ever used a public restroom of the gender you don't identify with? [View all]tularetom
(23,664 posts)13. The lights in the hallway were out I had to pee really bad
So I just pushed open the first door I spotted. When I didn't see any urinals I knew I screwed up. I also knew I'd never make it to the men's room so I just went into one of the stalls, did what I needed to do, washed up and left.
As I left the ladies room who should I meet coming in but my sister (it was a wedding reception for one of our friends).

I recall walking into a men's room once when I had to go, but the place reeked of urine.

I've been noticing a refreshing change in restrooms in some local venues lately.

Yes. Nearly every time with a guy escort me in or standing outside if it had limited seats

For approximately the same reason many water fountains were labeled "whites only."
