In reply to the discussion: Have you ever used a public restroom of the gender you don't identify with? [View all]Glassunion
(10,201 posts)Once while I was at a concert (heavy metal), I went to use the restroom. There was a standalone building with a large sign "Restrooms" on it. Over one door was a sign that read "Women", over the other door was an outline where a sign used to be. So, using my superior skills in deductive reasoning, I (a man), entered the door with no sign above it.
Upon entering I was greeted with a gasp or two, and a bit of yelling, ordering me to get out. It was at that very moment, I had noticed that the entire room was occupied by nothing but ladies (about 50 or 60 of them). Quite embarrassed, and without so much as a misstep, I had performed an about-face, and double-timed my ass out of there. As I approached the door that I had entered, I found that this door, as well as the one labeled "Women", both led into the same room.
My Jedi-like skills in deductive reasoning, failed to make up for my complete failure to apply inductive reasoning in the given circumstance. I ignored a 3rd possibility, that the men's room was on the other side of the building.
This is the only time, I've encountered any sort of response upon using the lady's room. When you gotta go, you gotta go. People generally get that.
