to hate unisex toilets?

[SprinklesOnSeat]

NC for this as a bit embarrassing :(

I drive my sister to hospital every month or so for an eye treatment. Hospital has unisex toilets, and although they're clean, there's so often splashes on the seats, or seats are put up. When they're up, the cover is over the sides so there's a lot of handling involved to get them down again, and often they're wet anyway

Yesterday the toilet I used had the seat up, and the rim of the bowl was wet. So I decided to hover. I don't know how I managed to do it, must have been bending too far forward, but I got my knickers drenched, and a huge puddle on the floor

I was dancing around, balancing on one leg, trying to get my jeans off without getting them wet as well, tiny room, bouncing off the walls. Knickers were saturated and had to be stuffed into sanitary bin. Pee all over my hands. When I came out of the loo my sister was waiting for me, she became hysterical as well when I told her what happened and pointed out a big wet stain at the bottom of my t-shirt that I hadn't even noticed

AIBU to wish that organisations would just fuck off with their fucking unisex toilets, and let men have banks of urinals where they can piss as they want, up the walls if they feel like it?

I've just realised I don't share a loo with DH either. We have four in our house and the convention is that I use 2 and he uses 2.

[Lethaldrizzle]

I don't even like sharing a bathroom with my dh let alone random men

[SerenDippitty]

And urinals don't take up the same amount of space as cubicles so you can fit more of them in.

[KettleBells]

I've never felt the need to stage a dirty protest like OP

🤣🤣

[Lethaldrizzle]

Agree. My dh spends bloody ages in the toilet.

[Noqont]

Unisex toilets are far more efficient. Especially when women take a bloody age.

Really it's the urinals and the ability to stand up and piss that makes the male toilets more efficient. Without the urinals, the queue would undoubtedly be longer for everyone.

[SusanChurchouse]

YABU.

I was in a cafe in Saturday with 2 toilets which were unnecessarily gendered. There was a woman in the ladies for about 5 minutes while the gents sat empty. Yet my daughter was upset about using the 'wrong' toilet even though the facilities were identical.

Unisex toilets are far more efficient. Especially when women take a bloody age.

[ifeelsoextraordinary]

Ladies are hanging almost invariably, piss and usually blood on the seat, the toilets I usually use have bins in direct sunlight so they stink, a sanitary products on the toilet, the seat, the walls, pretty much anywhere but the bin and once I found a used tampon sitting in the middle of a stall.

Really??!!

How unfortunate. In 40+ years of public toilet using I have never seen anything like that in ladies loos. I’ve seen wet seats, general untidiness and the odd unflushed poo now and again but those are the exception rather than the rule.

I don't get your uppity opinions when you've seemingly just created more less than any man!

I think I'd rather have unisex facilities...I think I'd rather have a few toilet seats left up if it means women spend less time lingering. I came back from visiting the ladies toilet at work this afternoon and remarked to my colleague 'why do people feel the need to carry on their conversation while they both pee...it's weird'. And he claims that men don't do that. They might chat at the sinks, but no mid-pee conversation. And for that alone, I think I'd rather share facilities with men than women! Not to even get started on the women who get right in the road trying to fix their warpaint at the sinks when you just want to get in and wash your hands.

[user1andonly]

I do hate unisex toilets. However, I often find the seats wet in the ladies (possibly due to hoverers!) I always give a seat a quick wipe over before I sit down just in case as I don't always see a splash and don't want to sit in someone else's wee, male or female!

A service station near me swapped the gents and ladies round (for reasons unknown!) a few months ago and the 'new ladies' still smells worse than the old one and is generally a grim place to be - not saying ladies loos smell of rainbows but I've been using the service station for years as it's on the way to my parents house and I definitely notice a difference!

[JellyBears]

They had them in the cineworld in Leicester Square and they stank of wee like men’s loos generally do yuk not impressed

How did you manage to 'saturate' your knickers but not get your jeans wet (well, until you started dancing around, no doubt showering the walls)? I'm genuinely intrigued. (And still amazed that you managed to soak the floor without noticing that your aim was so atrocious)

[Mookie81]

So who cleaned up your piss then?
I'd bet a month's wages you didn't get every drop so who's cleaning up after you?

[busybarbara]

They always fucking stink of man-piss

Anddddd the psuedo-science begins.

[Branleuse]

I hate them too. They always fucking stink of man-piss

[Noqont]

You realise putting 'Fact' doesn't make it so right? You'd be better off putting 'Opinion'. because that's what it is.

Thanks for the advice telling me what I'm better off putting. Actually I'm going to put what I want, not what someone else advises me to. And having seen the evidence that men do often piss over the toilet seat, I'm going to stick with fact. But thanks anyway

[DrWhy]

At least unisex toilets mean that my DH can access the baby change facilities!

[HeckyPeck]

How disgusting to have to wipe pee up with thin toilet paper. Ugh

Well it beats pissing all over yourself.

🤣😂

There is a nice shop (with a café) in Bristol that used to have one ladies and one gentlemens . The ladies was very clean and the sink and surfaces sparkled. Now they have re-labelled them as two unisex toilets and they are both unclean, smell of piss at all times and the toilets are sticky. Basins not nice either. The toilets at Bristol Folk House just down the road remain separate and are pristine and lovely. I have my coffee and cake there instead now.

[SnappyFartyKarate]

I've been in ladies, unisex and a few gents. Ladies are hanging almost invariably, piss and usually blood on the seat, the toilets I usually use have bins in direct sunlight so they stink, a sanitary products on the toilet, the seat, the walls, pretty much anywhere but the bin and once I found a used tampon sitting in the middle of a stall. Not the applicator mind, the actual tampon. not envy.
Though, to be fair, in the unisex disabled toilets I have found cum on the seat sooooooooo......

[busybarbara]

Having been using women's toilets for decades I can assure you it can't be all men in there weeing on the seats, women clearly do it all the time. And no wonder if anyone else is physically challenges like OP appears to be.

I fucking hate unisex toilets. They are always dirtier because some men piss on the seat and don't bother to clear it up. And I don't want to clean their piss off the seat before I can use it. Generally female single sex toilets are a lot cleaner. Fact.

You realise putting 'Fact' doesn't make it so right? You'd be better off putting 'Opinion'. because that's what it is.

Facts need supporting evidence to make them so.

I don't like unisex loos either, nothing to do with grime or dirt. Just prefer my own safe space.

[2up2manydown]

I think you were a bit daft and dramatic about the volume of pee you managed to get over yourself OP - if true, you need to read Pirate Pete’s Potty again!

That said, I HATE using loos that men have used. Even my family members!

[lynmilne65]

I am rubbish at hovering, ( and hoovering )
