Too many people and too few bathrooms?

DH and I have been invited to a birthday celebration next summer (COVID-permitting). The hosts have booked a large country house and it’s a Friday-Monday event. There will be 10 couples, so 20 guests in total, but there are only two bathrooms ………. I can’t see this working, or AIBU? I think we had a better bathroom ratio when I was at University!

@Macncheeseballs

Billy1966, I think it's got zero to do with age and more to do with attitude
Most definitely. In fact, I think the older you are, the less likely you are to demand multiple bathrooms.

Nah, I'm with @billy1966 on this, I'd have been all for it in my early twenties, now in my early 40's I wouldn't share a bathroom with anyone other than very close family unless I absolutely had to, the joys of being much more affluent - I simply don't need to share a bathroom with 10 other people.

And as for the wet wipes and dry shampoo suggestion - why would you put up with that other than when camping or festivals.

You’ve just proved my point. I’m more than 30 years older than you and, as long as I got my daily shower, it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

Imagine being the 16th person to have your morning shit

In reality, you'd be frantically dancing the hornpipe all morning before eventually having the honour of taking the first of the Noon Watch.
