To dislike male cleaners in female public toilets?

[GarliceGran]

I travel a lot with work, mostly via train. For some bizarre reason, a huge amount of train stations have male cleaners for the female toilets. Worse yet, these men are often doing non-urgent cleaning, such as washing mirrors etc.

This makes me very uncomfortable. If I’m not desperate, I’ll often just walk out.

AIBU?

I come across them often at pubs and restaurants. And I have had to do this myself, including mopping up a child’s vomit and leaking breastmilk.

I don’t want male people in the female toilet.

But I also agree that if it is clear that there is a male cleaner or maintenance person present, that female people can ask them to leave for a moment. However, I also fully understand that some women don’t even want male cleaners or maintenance there and if they want this, I will support their need not belittle them for that need.

Depends where you spend a lot of time, doesn’t it?

I'm yet again mystified by all these claims about intimate things people are supposedly doing at the sinks in toilets and in communal changing areas. I use public toilets almost daily and have never seen this. If I have to sort myself out, I do it in the cubicle and in the real world, nobody gives a shit who is cleaning the toilets, as long as they do their job and are professional.

It's very entertaining.

What an uncomplicated life you lead. Good for you.
