Relief in sight for ladies who hate the wait

World Toilet Organisation
THE misery women face when queueing for public lavatories could be eased under new principles proposed by the World Toilet Organisation.

Guidelines issued at the weekend by the National Environment Agency in Singapore, where the organisation is based, would mean women have equal facilities to men.

The code requires medium-sized restaurants, bars and nightclubs to have as many female cubicles as they have male cubicles and urinals. Larger venues, and those such as cinemas where usage is confined to peak periods, would favour women's facilities by a ratio of 14:10.

1. women and men spend, on average, the same time emptying their bladders

yet, women spend 4x as much time in the toilet.

The burning question in the minds of most men is, WHY?
please, let us in on the secret. We wash our hands, sometimes we even dry.

2. There are usually more urinals/stalls in a mens bathroom.

In the ladies room there are unusally only a few stalls.Hence the extended waiting time.

[kurth]

3. Maybe too much socializing in there

Or maybe just primping and preening and enjoying the aroma.

4. One woman, with kids slows down everyone. nt

5. I'll tell you why

A few reasons....we can't just "whip it out". It may involve lifting skirt (making sure in doesn't drag in the toilet), lowering pantyhose and knickers. There is also the possible "have to wipe off the seat because someone else left drops" and some women have been known to toilet paper the seat so that the infamous cooties will not be on their bottoms. If by any chance you have your period you must fact in more time to attend to that.

Then it's the reverse of get dressed again, fixing those freakin' pantyhose, unwrapping your purse from the hook on the door, washing your hands and out the door.

That's why it takes longer.

Cheers!

6. oh. And here i grew up thinking that some mysterious ritual took place.

Not to mention that women's bathrooms have couches.

8. Don't hang your purse on the hook!

unwrapping your purse from the hook on the door

DON'T DO THIS! Especially in airport bathrooms and the like. Unless of course you WANT your purse stolen while your pantyhose are around your ankles.

Put it between your feet, or behind you.

"WOMEN AND RESTROOMS" Women are sometimes the last people to think that other women might rip them off. Most of the time you are fine, but you never know who that person is standing outside your bathroom stall, or in the stall next to you. Several years ago I observed numerous crime reports where women's purses were being stolen from the restroom near the international departure terminal at the airport. Unfortunately, that crook was never caught, but she ruined many vacation and business trips for other women. From what we were able to gather from the unfortunate victims, the scenario went like this.

The female thief usually enters the restroom after you do. Once the thief sees you enter the stall she looks under your stall door and watches your feet. As you enter your feet face the wall towards the toilet. Next your feet turn around and are now facing the door. The thief knows that you just entered the stall, turned around, locked the door and placed your purse on the hook of the door. Then she sees your feet turn around again pointing towards the toilet. The thief now knows that you will spend up to approximately 30 seconds taking a toilet seat cover from the container mounted on the wall, and then placing the cover on the toilet seat. While you are doing this your back is to the door and your purse. Now think back about the last time you used the toilet in a public restroom. Where is the hook on the door? Right near the top of the door, making it very convenient for a crook to reach over the top and steal your purse containing your important travel documents, money, credit cards, glasses and jewelry.

With your purse in her hand, the thief then does one of two things. She quickly pulls out your wallet from your purse and tosses your purse back over the door into your stall. You hear the noise, turn around, and see your purse on the floor. By the time you realize what happened, your wallet and the thief are gone. The other option is the nimble fingered thief takes your entire purse and places it into an empty carry-on bag or shopping bag that she has with her. She then quietly and quickly exits the women's restroom blending into the crowd of travelers.

The lesson here is don't place your purse on the hook of a bathroom door when the hook is near the top of the door. Alternatives for keeping your purse safe are: hanging it around your neck, or placing it on the floor between your feet. Put a seat cover down on the floor first to keep the bottom of your purse clean.

12. brings to mind another event

Years ago, a sweet young thing was being entertained with her bosses at a Chicago event - we call it fat fest, but visitors call it The Taste. Much beer was consumed. Being from the middle of Iowa and never having used a porta-pottie before, she repeatedly asked if they were safe. everyone assured her that they were. her inquiries grew in number and tone until even she gathered enough Iowa spirit to use one.

several beers later (enough for four guys to use a porta-pottie, I might add) she returned with a huge smile on her face.

"Oooh, they were so clean, so neat, and well organized!" (it was the first day of the Fest) "And they had extra rolls of paper and everything. And they even have this handy tray to hold your purse!"

Picture the result. There were 10 males and 10 females, all extremely inebriated, clients & attys, friends all. It took the proverbial second for the coin to drop. At exactly the same moment, 20 people finally got what she meant. They looked at each other, with this "No, she didn't. Yes, she did." look until no one could contain their emotions anymore.

21. Thank-you!

Thank-you, I usually wrap the strap around it a few times so if they really want the purse they'll have to rip the hook off of the door. I've noticed that more and more restrooms are installing the doors that are really tall to help with this problem.

Cheers!

7. Because we have to unzip, pull down sticky hose

sit, pee, wipe, and then attempt to pull back UP those confounded panty hose and then arrange.

You guys just have to unzip, whip it out, pee, shake and zip back up.

Make sense?

[Hope springs eternal]

9. Hmmm...

maybe if they made smoother PH, we'd solve the problem. :)

silk perhaps?

10. I'm so glad I'm a Man. Is it ok to say that? I'm so glad I'm a Man

Other than the whole 'shit I just sat on my balls' thing, I'm always just thankful I'm a man LOL

13. A joke (mods -- delete if it's inappropriate)

(I don't even know how funny this is, but it pertains to the topic.)

As God made Man and Woman, S/He gave out certain gifts or abilities to each of them. Finally, S/He said: "I have just two more abilities to bestow. The first is the ability to pee standing up."

Man said, "Ooh, me me!! I want that!"

God: "Don't you want to hear what both options are first before you decide?"

Man: "It doesn't matter, I just want to pee standing up, that'd be sooo cool!"

God: "Okay, it's yours. And the remaining gift is the ability to have multiple orgasms."

[rhino47]

14. LOL good one sparky n/t

[cui bono]

15. Alas the joke is still on the women...

after all how many men are willing to give us those multiples?

That reminds me to put batteries on my shopping list. ;)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

17. Count Me In. To me it just depends on the woman and her passion

To me, if a woman is passionate, and keeps the passion going, then it's go time till a mutual agreement to do something else :)

It's alllllll about the passion.

[Mountainman]

16. Another if it is ok

A woman was getting pretty drunk in a bar and yelled out, "I'll bet $100 that I can pee higher on the wall then anybody in here." A guy took the bet and as he started to make his mark on the wall the woman shouted out, "uh uh! no hands!"

[rhino47]

18. Lmao Good one mountain !

[Sparkly]

19. Hah!

That reminds me of a line in the movie "All of Me." Lily Tomlin, having taken over one side of Steve Martin's body, says politely, "Shall I tap?"
