Has the world gone mad(?).

There are two ways of looking at that issue.... We don't segregate at home, so does it really matter?
Then on the other hand, it is an opportunity perhaps for bullies etc whose victims no longer have a "safe place"? Not sure which way I would go on that conundrum.

It's just a result of our sociocultural conditioning that we have separate loos.
Objectively speaking, as long as there are cubicles with doors, I don't see that it's
that important.
Additionally, it would easily solve the multi gender issue.

On some new School and public buildings toilets are becoming 100% Unisex. Aka there is no Male or Female, its all mixed. I was in such a building recently and it was a bit confusing walking into a toilet area with everyone! There are cubicles, sinks and no urinals generally.

Seems to be the way things are headed.

Women seem to take forever in to loo, often causing a long queue, vs blokes who have a quick wee at the urinal and get out asap. Can't say the idea of unisex loos and having to queue very appealing.

In schools it bothers me - and I don't have any kids.

You see how some lads are with girls, and the thought of them being allowed, encouraged even, to share facilities with girls perturbs me - not all lasses are up and at 'em. Even if they were, or maybe even more if they are, if you are a parent, would you want your 11yr old daughter just at secondary school being leered at over the cubicle wall/door by 18 yr old lads?

When I go, I would clear the ladies out, my wife complains that it permeates the house. I don’t like communal toilets personally, had to use them on the continent but prefer not to. Also the last thing I want to hear is some smart young lady grunting & farting in the next cubical. I know we all do it, but it spoils the illusion some what.

I know what you mean, but that is an "our generation" thing! I am STILL horrified to read news reports of some of the awful things that the "delicate flowers" are capable of. Shatters the illusion somewhat.

Sink/urinal...the difference being?

Depends the hotel you are using .

Thanks for that

We don’t generally put all that bumf on emails at work, but when a HR person started, I did too, but only in replies to her.

Not all of mine were genuine organisations . . .

My favourite ones were " Founder member of the Romney Marsh Mountain Rescue Team" and the " Member of the Sahara Sub Aqua Society" Nobody ever questioned them which was a shame.

Problem is that the trailer trash men pizz all over the seats and the trailer trash women leave other little jems everywhere.

Sink needs less aiming at

My other half due to a broken leg and surgeon instructions is currently using a commode . . . "delicate" isn't word I use when I empty it . . .

And has a better flush!

Don't forget to take the washing up out of it first

Wonder does she ask to use the litter tray at breaktime and eat her lunch from a bowl on the floor of the canteen

There is one like that in the local grade school, IIRC maybe 6-8 years old.
Exact same demands, litter box, bowl on floor. (must be a facebook page for these nut jobs, on how to demand these things)

I think was never potty trained at home as well.

Some "people" (I use that term loosely) abuse the home schooling laws to just slack off.

The poor kid will be scarred for life.

Why do parents allow this in the first place and encourage it?

Because their grandparents "did the brown acid" at Woodstock ?

Where I worked years ago, we had a customer that said I’m colonel so & so, one of the other employees said “kernel, kernel, must be some kind of nut” that shut the guy up, mad me laugh as well.

I had a teacher, WW2 veteran, called Major Williard.

Was Major Williard pleased to see you ?

Full respect to the old boy tbh.

The funny thing is, whilst at school I never twigged the joke. Think I was in my 40s and started laughing uncontrollably one day.

No, leave it in, saves running the hot water, just add washing up liquid (todays energy saving tip)

Apparently it's been going on for some time....
