Never had this happen before
was at a concrt at the local symphony hall (arlo guthrie and the symphony orchestra). while urinating during intermission the door swings open and in walks two women who proceeded to go to the stalls to do their thing. I was in the middle of doing my thing and am surprised i didn't have stage freight. this is what happens i guess in a state when men can marry men and women can marry women.

10. Brilliant!
Very understated.

I'd give it a 9.5 on the comedy meter.

6. I had to lead the charge once at a Comedy Club
There were 25 women in line for one small lady's bathroom. The guys were coming and going out of their bathroom.

I was visiting from out of town, so not worried about running into anyone, so I led the line in a take-over of the stalls in the men's room.

The guys weren't happy, but it had to happen.

We, however, waited until we knew the "coast was clear" so to speak - didn't want to interrupt anybody at the urinal

9. Nah - they just need more stalls!
Men are lucky - I wish we COULD use urinals, but once a month things get a lot more complicated....

21. The women's rooms in my dorm in college
Edited on Tue Nov-21-06 06:05 PM by ThomCat
all had urinals. The university didn't permanently assign women to one wing and men to another, so in order to be able to assign space flexibly, every bathroom in the building had urinals.

And they got used. Any night that there was a party all the bathrooms were more or less co-ed. Except for that one that was turned into a hanging planter. That one had a huge spider plant in it.

7. I go in women's bathrooms all the time
usually to clean them or re-stock the toilet paper.

I had a couple girls come into the men's bathroom in the men's dorm. Fortunately for all of us I was not showering in the open shower area when this happened. In a men's dorm it's kinda hard to find a women's room.

15. What does gay marriage have to do with using the restroom?
:shrug:

I've seen women walk into the men's room many times over the years. If there is a long line for the women's room and none for the men's room it's not uncommon. Hell, sometimes it's necessary.

And that's in a state that doesn't allow gay marriage yet.

20. Typical...
...of a drop kick who sees two women together and thinks they are lesbians too. Doesn't this jerk know that women will always travel in pairs to the dunny? And they are more times than not straight women?

22. I've never understood traveling in packs to the bathroom.
Seems every time I go out with almost any straight (female) friend who wants to use a public toilet, I'm, like, "OK."

And she's like, "Well?"

And I'm, like, "What?"

And she's, like, "Aren't you coming?"

And I'm, like, "No."

I usually manage to refrain from replying, "What, you still don't know what to do in there by yourself?"

18. And what the hell does this mean?
Edited on Tue Nov-21-06 06:03 PM by foreigncorrespondent
this is what happens i guess in a state when men can marry men and women can marry women.

Obviously you haven't lived life. In Australia, we are outlawed. Second class citizens. Yet when the female toilets have been full (quite a common thing to find the womens toilets full, with a huge line) I have known lots of women (myself included) to venture into the pits of a mans toilet in order to pee.

On edit: typo

23. What the fuck is up with the gay marriage mention? Grow. Up.
I'll use the men's room at stadiums & concerts because there usually isn't a line and the stalls are usually open.

And I live in a state where we don't have gay marriage (yet).

24. Pretty soon the straight man will have nothing left.
Sharing bathrooms with box turtles, feminists - who will then accuse us of rape - and anti-gun leftists.

We are SERIOUSLY on a dangerous slippery slope of the extermination of the straight, white, Protetant male.

26. This is like one of those corny jokes you'd see on "Hee Haw".
Idiot #1: Hey Zeke, I went to the concert the other day and thar were two women in the men's room.

Idiot #2: Must be because of all that gay marriage.

(Laugh track/ cue banjo plunking...)

27. It was probably that "strength in numbers" phenomenon
I doubt they would've done it on their own...but then again, who knows.

Glad you lived to tell about it. :D

So, legalized gay marriage is an indicator that people have gender identity problems and use the wrong rest room? Is that what is being said here? :crazy:

29. And the next thing you know, they'll be letting women
use the same drinking fountain as you. :eyes:

And don't worry, it's highly doubtful the women you were all worked up about were the least bit interested in getting a glimpse of your little pee-pee anyway.

They just had to go....give them a break. Jesus.

31. Well, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I went in to the men's room
Edited on Wed Nov-22-06 12:58 AM by QMPMom
at the Memphis airport because I had just walked from hell knows where in that airport, had an injured back and was in severe pain. Walking back to the women's bathroom, which was *not* in the vicinity of the boarding area, would have meant someone would have had to take me there and back in a wheelchair the pain was so bad. I hate the Memphis airport.

32. i should piss down my leg when the boys' room is empty??
MUCH looooonger lines at women's rooms happen all the time, and we are waiting in those lines while men's rooms are nearly empty less and less, so maybe you best start using the stall.

until they get their shit together out there and make ten times the room in our cans as in yours, then wha? you expect us to wait in those lines, for your personal comfort?

and that old crap about gender was old when it was used about the ERA.

grow up.

The lines for the ladies' room is often twice as long as for the men's room. Who can blame them?

40. They've already started today.
Actually, not, but I imagine they'll have tons to share with me before the weekend.

I don't make stuffing though. I just cook the turkey and my mother makes some dressing as a standalone dish in the oven over at her house. She makes the best dressing ever.
