Men in gender neutral toilets

I don’t have a problem with gender neutral toilets at all. But twice recently I have been at gigs where the toilets are gender neutral only and I’ve opened a door to find a man mid wee who hasn’t locked the door. Is this a creepy bastard thing or do men not think to lock the doors? They are full floor to ceiling doors so I couldn’t tell if occupied or not if the door was unlocked.

Men never lock the door. They also piss all over the seats, thus forcing women to clean up after them. They should be called gender enforcement toilets.

Intresting point. I took my son to the toilets in a restaurant on holiday (he is 5) There was 1 female and 1 male cubicle. The sink area was shared. I opened the male door for my son and it was unlocked and there was a man sitting there. Clearly no mal intended, but bloody lock the door.

it is very common in men's toilets for men to not lock the door if using a cubicle just to have a wee - it's almost compulsory! Most of the time the door isn't even closed let alone locked. For blokes, you quite quickly 'learn' that urinals are for when you have a pee and cubicles are for when you have a poo.

as an aside I was a business meeting on Friday in a swanky London office and had the misfortune to use a gender neutral toilet - only the second time I've been in one. Absolutely hated it - fortunately there was no one else in there at the time.

I just think they are so used to urinals that they don't consider closing the door. It doesn't bother me particularly

Men don't have the same fear, shame and bodily vulnerability of women. They probably just don't consider it.

Could be either. Blokes are used to communal pissing, and I can imagine that after a few pints they may forget/not care much.
I'm not saying perverts in gender neutral toilets don't exist.

Yep, these had big signs on the door saying Gender Neutral Toilets. No other toilet option. Lock the bloody doors, men.

I think its a good idea to call them what they are, 'mixed sex' toilets.
