    It’s sort of the other way. Buildings in the southern US before the 1960s, besides having gendered bathrooms, also had separate bathrooms for white and black people. So 4 kinds of bathrooms. The Pentagon today is apparently a bathroom user’s paradise, because it was built in the 1940s with enough bathroom capacity for all its users even having the 4 kinds of bathrooms. Then after desegregation, its bathrooms got consolidated into just 2 kinds (by gender). So it now has 2x more bathroom capacity per person than newer office buildings have.

      I used to work at a gas station. I’d have to clean the bathrooms once per shift.

      The mens bathroom? A couple of wet spots next to the toilet. I always attributed this to the guys who end up getting multiple streams, and don’t know what to do.

      The womens bathroom? Look. I know women bleed once a month. I get it. But ladies, what the fuck are you doing in the gas station bathrooms??? Are you having coat hanger abortions??? Is it like a woman thing to all contribute to one communal blood pool? There is no way these nightly horror scenes all came from one person unless they had a recently chopped off limb! Is Freddie Kruger attacking you ladies while you’re pooping? I have never figured out what the womens bathroom experience is, but it has SHATTERED any illusion to me that women are cleaner/neater than men. We may leave dirty laundry around the house for days, but you gals have an exorcism as you toot.

      See, this is why everyone says girls don’t poop. They DON’T poop. They disembowel.

        It’s even worse in clubs. I’ve seen pads and tampons stuck to the walls, random objects in the toilet, soiled panties left on the floor. And this isn’t the extremes either. This is a normal fri-sat.

          Absolutely. It’s night and day the minute you add alcohol into the mix. I remember telling my old boss I wouldn’t clean the women’s bathroom after weddings anymore unless I got hazard pay.

          What is with the tampom wall thing?
