For girls only: if the girls’ toilet is engaged, do you go to the boys’ toilet?

I had to use the mens room once, when the ladies was out of order. Sometimes there isnt a lot of choice and alot of the womens public washrooms are disgusting as well.

If I may relate an incident:

I was at a fair-type of event, and there were those "green machines" that many people didn't want to use, so they (we) went into a restaurant that was nearby and participating in the event and used their bathrooms. Well, as usually would happen in those circumstances, the line to the men's room was pretty long, but the line to the women's room was all the way out the door. The men's room had IIRC two urinals and one toilet stall. I was close to the front of the line, and actually inside the restroom, when a woman came in. There were about a half-dozen guys in there waiting, not including the guys currently going. When the guy at the urinal was finished, she backed up to the urinal pulled down her pants and panties, and peed right there with all of us watching. Nobody objected.

So ladies, be aware: If you're willing to let men watch you pee, we'll even let you cut in line ahead of us.

Of course do i have done so many times, i just go in and say that i really need to go and i close the door, no biggie

And BTW, IME, most men's rooms aren't really all that nasty. It depends on where you are. Any halfway decent restaurant, even a fast-food place, is going to have a clean men's room. Or a reasonably nice bar. Or a regular movie theater. Or any place with a modicum of class.

In gas stations and convenience stores, the women's room is likely to be just as bad as the men's.

BTW, a side note: that's one way to determine the true classiness of a restaurant/bar/club - the quality of the bathrooms. Sure, any place can make the main areas look nice, because those are the areas that everyone always sees. But if the bathrooms are dingy and ugly, that indicates a place that's pretending to be classier than it really is.

Always at concerts etc. just walk through and nod to the guys at the urinals and go in to a stall to pee - nobody seems to mind they just smile and it gives them something to think about while they pee I guess.

No problem with a gal coming in, your lines really do suck! hate to wait that long.

I would use the male toilet as long as my partner was there in front of the door .

Yes I have used the men's bathroom. Doesn't bother me one bit. And no one else seemed to mind me being there.

Here is a twist on the question. I am a guy in his 60s. Sometimes at my age when you gotta go, you really gotta go -- no holding it. I was in a shopping center where there were men's and women's restrooms side by side. I really had to go but when I got to the Men's there was a sign on the door saying it was being repaired -- the door was locked -- and to use another one at the other end of the mall. No way I was going to make it, so I dashed into the Women's. There was one middle-aged woman standing at the sinks. She looked at me but said nothing. I went into an open both and peed, long and hard and loud. No mistaking a man was peeing. I finished and as I was leaving another booth opened and a young woman came out. She looked at me, smiled, shook her head and washed her hands. I washed mine and left, her eyes following me as I walked, but she was smiling.

No repercussions. Actually, it was a rather liberating experience and I would do it again in a pinch.

Yeah if the line is freaking long. Ill go to the guys room and join the line. Ill have a friend watch the door stall so I can climb up there and pee or poop.

Just two days ago, I found myself having to go really badly and the men's room was occupied. This was at a small fast-food place with only one-person bathrooms, so I went ahead into the ladies room. What's the difference? I did remember to put the seat down. There was a woman waiting when I came out. Too bad.

You may choose not to, but you have the right to use the other bathroom if yours is occupied and they're only one-person bathrooms anyway.

If I can't wait, then yes, I would.

Yes, I'll go and use the men's room. To paraphrase the old Shakespearean soliloquy, "To pee or not to pee... There IS NO question..."

😘

(How many of you actually remember the original old line from Shakespeare?)

I tend to be at many concerts (tis part of my job) and one of the friendliest and pleasant surprises was at an Indigo Girls concert. Was using the urinal and glanced around and there was a pure mix, of guys and gals in the john (more gals than guys, but it was Indigo Girls :-).

To me it was a VERY nice pleasant "group" experience, and no one was paying anyone any hassle or such, it was just friendly. No rudeness, some glancing, and afew that looked slightly bewildered, but heck... I thought perhaps we'd finally come around here in the good ol' prudish USofA.

Reminded me of the skyclad pagan gatherings that I used to attend on a semi-regular basis, and the great communal showers in the chilly mountain mornings. I'm very much enamored with folks that are grown up enough to be classy, but don't loose their childlike outlooks on life.

😳 And oops... I am male... and I just glanced again at the top... and it says "for girls only"... sorry, but I am VERY close in touch (I've been told) of my feminine side, LOL!

Well, my poor excuse was I was looking for SOMEPLACE here that was legal for a newbee to post... I found that chat was out :-) and didn't read the title thoroughly (or it's didn't sink in :-)

When i have to pee, i have to pee

no matter if it's on the girls' or boy's toilet

I've never had to use the men's bathroom, but if nature was demanding I go then I would. But not before I made sure no one was in there.

Side note, our son has long hair(mid back) and has had many people think he was a girl. One time at the local big box store he walked in the mens to go. The man behind him made a comment of surprise "What, this is the mens bathroom." I then turned to him, "he is a boy, he just has long hair". Needless to say he didn't go in until our son came out. *rolls eyes and shakes head

If I have to go badly enough, definitely.

In a dance bar setting men will NEVER object to women using the mens room. We just laugh and try to make them feel comfortable.

If any of you have ever been to a Jimmy Buffet concert, you will find that most of the women (regardless of age) don't seem to be able to read either. The long line for the women's simply creates a steady flow of women into the mens. You have not lived until you have watched a cute girl use a male urinal, with absolutely no concern about anything. I know I enjoyed it, and spent about 20 minutes in there just to watch this spectacle.

Historical McSorley’s Bar on NYC’s 2nd Ave. traditionally did not allow women to enter until circa ‘71. Days after the legalized change to allow women and while having a "disagreement" with a former GF, she unwittingly tailed me to McSorley’s threshold as we walked, then noticed where I was about to enter. At first hesitant, she rallied her innate spunk to follow me in. Several beers later, to my amusement, she discovered there was yet no women’s washroom. Her dismay was minimal and she boldly strode into the men's room. I’m sure former patrons were amused by this anomaly.

I have done it before and wouldn't hesitate to do it again in the future. I have never had any complaints, and actually met a couple of interesting folks in men's rooms.

In Arkansas the guys all hang out around the women's room so it is easier to just use their's. They never notice. Stupid boys.

Any gentleman should be enogh incontext to be chivalous enough to let her go first if need be,!

I have no problem going to the men's room, when you have to go you have to go!

I've taken my partner into the men's room and sat her on the toilet to watch her pee a few times...I've also done other more daring things in both the men's and women's bathrooms with her. Never got caught.

At the hockey arena in our city, it turns out that the architect did not take into account that the average woman's visit to the facilities takes about twice as long as the average man's visit to the facilities, and therefore provided only equal numbers of mens' and womens' rooms. As beer is commonly sold at the concessions, there are often long lineups for the womens' compared to the mens' during the intermissions between periods, and as there is only 20 minutes between periods, I am certain that a certain number of women have had to make such a choice from time to time, to get back to their seats as quickly as they can.

I seem to remember that women never tended to travel to the womens' alone, always with at least one other female companion; and that would certainly be useful in such circumstances.

Oh, they eventually converted a portion of the mens' rooms.

I have lived and traveled in Europe since the 60's. generally there was two doors (his/hers) but once inside it was one room, no separation between the sexs. Paris had for years "Pissoirs" which was a lamp post with a circular barrier around it from neck to knees for the convenience of men. Paris now is worse, no pissoirs, so men just pee against the wall and let it run to the gutter. Pigs!!

I do and I have. as recent as this past weekend.

Yet here in the U.S. , let a man walk into a public multi stall ladies restroom and the hordes of hades come spewing forth from the depths of lucifer's dark realm >😄 😁

Hahaha, I have totally done that before...except I walked into the mens' room by accident. Woops! Hello all you manly looking women!...Oh dear...I must have walked into the wrong bathroom! Yikes!

Men are pretty nice about those accidents though. No one yelled at me. Needless to say I was embarrassed as hell, but ah well!
