I'm working. Consumer Client-facing media type role. Self employed. Experienced and usually very professional. Busy time of year so a bit tired.

I was standing in the toilets of the venue I'm working at with two women who are part of the client group. All the loos are full so we're waiting patiently as you do, as a woman, in a public toilet environment.

My mouth opened and I can't quite believe what came out of it!!!

"Omg it's at times like these you wish you had a penis"

WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING????
I'm mortified.

I feel I need to do the walk of atonement.

Cheeky Fucker Neighbours.

As you were.

I think many people have missed OP's point I think she was refering to the fact that: 1) men only have to undo and re-fasten a zip whilst women have to deal with serveral layers of clothing, and 2) you can get a lot more urinals in a given space so the male throughput, so to speak, is higher.

Thankfully all guests are now as pusswd as newts and because they were a very lively crowd, invited us to stay on for a boogie and a beer. Not ashamed to say that i took advantage of the opportunity to sing my excellent rendition of 'mustang sally' because the singer liked me. And iron of me singing a song written for a man is not list in me. Because female penis!

Happy Saturday all!!!! XGrinGrin

For once after wine o'clock the thread is kinda normal!

Early days, early days.......

You are welcome, SirGawain.

Can't help thinking that my response is buying into Arthurian legend. What the hell though. It's really very interesting.

rosietosey · 29/07/2017 22:19

So what is the consensus now?

Dying to know.

gingergenius · 29/07/2017 22:26

@rosietosey I'm not a big fan of the communal peeing option - I think I'd feel obliged to make ridiculous small talk and commit anithercfaux pas a la inappropriate penis comment earlier!!

None of us dare say. In case we offend somebody.

I've nipped into the gents loo at Rugby matches. Twickenham, Murrayfield. Nobody really cares.

ginger.

There appears to be little evidence that men and women were segregated whilst on the throne in times past. The Medieval period was bad though, waste (shit) was deposited in the lanes outside houses, and was either left there, or washed away.

In Roman times they did it in full view and had many a convo whilst sitting there on their thrones/toilets. But they were very concsious of moving waste along. The Romans were brilliant.

FFS. re the toilets.

Trans is ridiculous for the majority, so will leave it there.

Honestly when was the last time you encountered a trans?

But it is all to be kept quiet, until they want to up the ante?

FFS

gingergenius · 29/07/2017 23:35

@rosietosey the romans were indeed brilliant. I know re: communal crapping etc, certainly for men - don't know about women but will bow to greater knowledge - it's not the communal poo that unnerves me, it's my awkward Britishness and concern that unmonitored words will fall out of my mouth in an effort to pretend (badly) that I'm nonchalant!!!
