Women’s loo queues- what’s going on??

I’m in my 50s, so I have plenty of experience using the women’s public lavatories. In the past 5 years, I’ve noticed that the queues are out of this world. And not just in tbe UK. Everywhere I go, the women’s queues are always super long and move very slowly.

is it that people now use their phone whilst in there? A pee and a quick browse?

ladies, what’s going on?! Are our bladders and rectums getting bigger so it takes more time to discharge, or are we using public loos to catch up on our social media when out and about?

is it just me who has noticed this? I don’t go any more often than when I was in my 30s.

Am I being unreasonable for thinking that women’s lav queues are getting ridiculous?

Everyone is drinking more, coffee, water, all on the go. So toilet stops are needed more often.

Also it doesn't help the situation when places like the Barbican 'upgrade' their toilets so each cubicle has a fecking handbasin and mirror. People (bloody wimmin) take much longer than just having a quick pee, gotta check the hair and make up while you're in there.

And of course a quiet sit down is the perfect opportunity to check emails, WhatsApp etc.
