Women using mens toilet

Sone · 18 Oct 2007 at 21:39

Getting really annoyed with the toilet situation at work, we have 2 locking cubicles one for men and one for women (signed)

Training is going on in some old offices downstairs so there is nearly always a queue for the toilets, always women. This may seem a bit petty but the next toilets are over a 10min walk away through various noise control and high visibility areas

Is there anything i can do, is there any rules about women using mens toilet?

They shouldn't do it unless it's an emergency. I would expect the same in the reverse situation. Some people carry toilet emergency cards - I do!

Take a crap in their toilet until they see sense.

Pee on the seat/nuke the site from orbit: It's the only way to be sure.

tbh ensure you get big brown stains down the bowl and dont flush

Why does it matter? Why should there be any difference anyway between toilets, why not multi-sex traps?

So you'd be happy for a man to walk into a female toilet even though the sign says Female/woman etc? There are multi-sex cublicles, but it would seem not in the OP's case.

Skids are the obvious solution

women do take ages lol. I wouldn't care if it was multi sex or not. But if the women are causing ques and men dont take long then id want it to be male/female toilets and let them que instead lmao.

People who have tummy/bowel chronic illnesses can get one. I am grateful for not having to use mine yet. I believe a lot of high street shops and others can then let you use their toilets, as opposed to finding the nearest pub/fast food joint.

Some people need to get to the loo quickly... Hence emmergency cards. Personally, I find screaming "let me through I'm ****ing myself" works wonders.

didn't they change the law recently, so you could walk into a bar or restaurant and use the loo, but you didnt have to be a customer? im sure i read that somewhere. perhaps while I was on the loo... hehe

Ive never heard of them. Had numerous jobs in shops and bars and was never told about them in induction or training. If some one came up to me and showed it to me, I would politely tell them to use the provided toilets/go to a public toilet. Inside I would be thinking they're really strange for making some card entitling them to use of the staff toilets.

Who issues such cards any way? The Department for Bodily Functions?

:rolleyes:

There was no need for roll eyes and the NACC and CICRA do. Similar to the way disabled toilets can be accessed by keyholders only. But we are going off topic so I'll stop now.

I just don't see why there has to be segregation. Certainly in the situation that Sone describes it would make sense for the traps to be made multi-sex.

if u wanna scare them away, stand facing the urinal with your giblets hanging out, and as soon as they walk in, turn around and wave it at them. If they complain, tell them "what do you expect, if you walk into a mens room, expect to see the odd penis here and there", and expect them to return the favour... somehow

Yep, i thought that if anything was done they would probably just stick up multisex signs like in other areas of the company

its just a cubiicle with a male sign on the door, nearly identical to the womens minus the dispensor and bin

You know, in xx years of using toilets, I don't think I've ever caught a glimpse of another blokes knob.
