To dislike male cleaners in female public toilets?

I travel a lot with work, mostly via train. For some bizarre reason, a huge amount of train stations have male cleaners for the female toilets. Worse yet, these men are often doing non-urgent cleaning, such as washing mirrors etc.

This makes me very uncomfortable. If I’m not desperate, I’ll often just walk out.

AIBU?

Doesn’t bother me.

If I had a choice I would prefer them not to be there, but I also like a clean toilet so will accept what’s necessary, as long as there’s a sign up.

I’m not bothered

oh well. I am not bothered. I have not seen them doing non urgent cleaning either.

Not really, I quite like to see a man doing the low paid dirty work rather than it being the preserve of women
