Gents toilet refurb

Local pub is having a refurb.
They have built an extension for new toilets.
Went with friends last night and my male friend took this photo of the new 'gents'.
It rather gave me the ick.
AIBU to think this kind of imagery should not still be around?

Can't see a photo?

BIossomtoes · 10/05/2025 08:42

No photo.

ScottBakula · 10/05/2025 08:48

Presumably there was no one actually using the toilets/ urinals at the time ?
With no photo it's hard to tell but generally It wouldn't phase me in the least , infact I'd like to see a before and after photo.

Here to wait for the photo!

GenderFluid90 · 10/05/2025 09:07

To me it's not really offensive 🤷🏼‍♀️

BIossomtoes · 10/05/2025 09:13

That made me smile. I don’t see why a woman would find it offensive although conceivably a man might.

ColinOfficeTrolley · 10/05/2025 09:15

It's really naff.

MoiMoiMoiMoi · 10/05/2025 09:16

It's really stupid joke tbh. And I have dirty stupid humour usually.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 10/05/2025 09:16

That's fairly tame for the mens. I've been in a few in bars in the last few years with actual porn on the walls.

My favourite bit of toilet weirdness though is the Ivy Asia is Cardiff. There's a full size Samurai statue stood at one of the urinals, that talks to you as you walk in. Jumped out of my bloody skin!

BallerinaRadio · 10/05/2025 09:18

My main issue is the graphics and font are bloody awful 😂

NeuroSpicyCat · 10/05/2025 09:20

Love it

Pricelessadvice · 10/05/2025 09:22

It would be funnier if it was a better image of a couple of women pointing and laughing, with no text.
The words ruin the joke because it’s trying to explain what’s going on. No explanation is needed. Having to explain a joke makes something instantly unfunny.

I realise this isn’t quite what you meant when you started this thread 😅

BobbyBiscuits · 10/05/2025 09:24

It looks like it's from the 80s?! Naff as fuck for sure. But I guess it's mildly amusing in a tacky, mean way.

Now that sounds hilarious!

It is a crap sexiest joke that is trying to make men feel bad. If I was a man, I’d complain.

Ablondiebutagoody · 10/05/2025 10:09

It's lame but I don't see why you want to ban it

TheSilentMajority · 10/05/2025 10:16

I am very pro safe women's spaces but I am not anti trans - I find this offensive and anti trans. Its taking a dig at the situation where the nurses quite rightly protested at a transwomen doctor changing in their space. Women's rights need to be protected and to me the situation these nurses were put in was horrific - but we need to stop people being anti trans. Bet a male designed and painted this.

Brefugee · 10/05/2025 10:19

it's ridiculous but it is up to the men to complain about that.

If they put something similar in the women's with something like "look at the arse on that" i'd complain if i used it.

please explain your working? Nobody mentioned trans anyone. This is a men's toilet.

That's a bit of a reach.

Whatwouldnanado · 10/05/2025 10:22

Wow. What century are they living in? Time to get rid of urinals. I think all new or refurb bathrooms should have cubicles and just be unisex.

Get a grip, you are being ridiculous.

NannyPlum7 · 10/05/2025 10:30

anti trans rubbish aside…

I have absolutely zero fucks to give about policing the “decor” in the men’s toilets, tacky as it may be.
