So my local Pret A Manger has Unisex Toilets now.

Can't say I'm a fan.

I've been in unisex toilets before, in Cineworld, but they're like individual unit, sink, dryer, toilets all in one. Doesn't feel like unisex.

But Pret, nope, you walk in, 3 stalls, 2 sinks, 1 dryer. In a very small space.

Of course, I walked in as a woman just left a stall, the only free stall I might add.

My immediate reaction was I'd gone in the wrong toilet.

It was awkward.

The last was quite happily doing her makeup in the mirror.
But I still needed to pee.

Probably the most awkward pee I've ever had.

I don't like it.

Lol

I've been using them for years. It's called the disabled loo.

I refuse to use the men's because it's a filthy flood of urine.

I'm utterly disgusted by my gender peers.

Worst experience ever was a nasty nyc jail toilet where you had to go #1 from atleast 5 feet away in a small cell with 20 other dudes and a male public restroom is no better so this setup sounds interesting.

well, it makes more economic and environmental sense to share, i guess. also, we could get over this puritan segregation thing at some point, right?

the catch is we do live in a sick and sexist society and sharing toilets can indeed increase risk of awkward or even bad situations. then again, that's just a vicious circle and at some point we should start to learn and change ... to soon for shared toilets? who knows ... will see. keep us updated, spacehead ...

anyway, toilets won't do zilch unless we start educating our youth in realizing that men and women are foremost just persons, and that sex in our era should be about mere pleasure and/or communication, not social status or control. which is the actual problem, where we pee is just a symptom of that.

Ages ago I read a bit about toilet equality and design. I need to get out more.

Anyway, there's a problem we usually see where the Women have a queue, the Men don't. This is for several reasons, and they are a bit complicated and can be dealt with via design. Of course the unisex way is the most fair, but still.

1) Women take about 40% longer to 'perform' than men. This means they need more space to get waiting times to be even
2) Men sacrifice almost all privacy - many urinals you are hip to hip, literally. So men use the space more effectively - you could change women's toilet design to be a sort of sit-down urinal with no stalls to equalise it. Not many women would be happy with that.

Anyhow, I did have a point somewhere. So carry on.

Yeah thats just weird

I dont know why these things are being pushed by the government when as said previously all its going to do is create more of the problems theyre trying to solve

I think that they shouldnt bother, and try sorting out actual problems like arresting the flipping child grooming gangs who are literally people and getting away with it through England


//rant over stuff like this just annoys me

No needto feel awkward, women usually already suspect men pee too.

silly idea. you can fit more urinals into a small space however unless we are going to go fully "European";) with our attitudes I cant imagine having a row of 5 urinals opposite 3 or 4 toilet cubials in a unisex toilet, so ultimately men will have to start queuing like the ladies :(

(also according to my better half, female public loos are often far far worse than mens due to some women refusing to sit on the seat....... (use your imagination of how that can go wrong!!!)

Yeah was going to say to those disgusted by their gender peers, the (female) cleaner here at work tells me the female toilets are worse than the men's. Not that it's a competition or anything.

In the 1980's I was living in the Camden area of London and employed as a cleaner and belive me the Woman's toilets are a lot worse than the Men's, some people even refused to do them and many new start's never came back because of the state of them.
As for unisex loo's it's a passing fad just the usual young folk not being like old folk.

Be glad this isn't the cooks line of your average restaurant kitchen.

Things could (and usually do) get a lot worse there.

Just sayin'. :D



OT, I used to travel and open new stores for a US restaurant company and they liked to try new ideas occasionally for the back-of-house layouts. At one store in south Texas the put in one unisex employee restroom with one urinal and one toilet. No stall or wall or anything. Basically just a gas station restroom. Mind you this was supposed to service 50 to 75 employees on a busy shift.

The queue lines for that room frequently got long, if you even had time to wait your turn.

I'm glad I was only there for 6 weeks. Something tells me that it didn't turn out well in the long run.
