I accidentally went into the women's restroom today!

One late night, we pulled into a RV park and I didn't want to wait for the waterheater in the rv to fire up, so I headed to the ladies' bathhouse to shower.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the ladies' bathhouse....

I'm standing in the showerstall and happen to look down at the bottom of the divider walls. Boy, those are the ugliest and hairiest feet I've ever seen on a woman! Then the owner of the hairy feet starts starts singing....baritone....and I realize I'm in the wrong bathhouse.

I stayed in the shower until he had left and then scurried out. Fast.
 

I had to use a men's room deliberately once because the lady's room in the grocery store was blocked off and I was having an emergency, I went in and grabbed a stall and began saying,"guys there's a lady in here. The lady's room is not available," and so on. I heard one person come in and must have used a urinal then left. I didn't meet anyone while leaving. It never happened again and I had forgotten all about it until seeing this thread

These bathroom stories are funny!

Once while out to eat at a Chinese restaurant I went to use the restroom and discovered a girl in there cleaning. I paused for a second but seeing the urinals had privacy walls by them I walked over to do my business. The poor girl literally ran from the room leaving all her stuff behind!

That is really funny, Seadoug! I think we are moving toward getting rid of the separate restrooms anyway. Make them all unisex, and for one person at a time, like on a plane (or in your home). I don't really understand why we still have those archaic separate group restrooms anyway. Aside from maybe teenage girls, women don't usually stand around in there fixing their hair and gossiping. Most women, as well as men, go in there for the usual reasons, wash their hands and get out of there as quickly as possible.

We in the uK have gone through that phase of having Unisex bathrooms, and thank God it bombed and we've gone back for the most part to having seperate bathrooms..

That said I was at the Bistro in a stately home a couple of days ago.. and the bathrooms there were Unisex. They were very small too.. just 2 stalls, so I didn't feel very comfortable
 
Sometimes I just think we run on autopilot..especially as @seadoug did.

One drill weekend, I was a brand new enlisted female in an Air Guard unit that had 198 men and 3 women.

I absentmindedly walked into the mens room (no door just one of the maze type entries) just as my full bird Commander was turning around from the urinal, zipping up his pants. :oops:

What struck me is that HE had his HAT on IN the building! :ROFLMAO:

For those of you without military experience: by military regulation, military personnel ALWAYS remove their hats when entering and in a building. Leadership by example is another big deal too.

He face turned two shades of red and I stumbled all over myself apologizing "Sir...".

He knew my name quickly.

So, I go to two different Planet Fitness gyms.

One has the women's restroom, a water fountain and the men's restroom. The other has the men's restroom, the water fountain and the women's restroom. Since I most frequently go to the one that has the men's restroom the farthest away I went into that one today. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they had taken the urinals out so I just just visited one of the stalls. I then realized as I was leaving that I had gone into the women's restroom!

I happened to be very lucky that I was the only one in there at the time. When I walked out there was one guy that looked at me strange but that's all that happened.

Not sure why I felt the need to share this but I thought it was funny and is a great illustration of learned behavior. I am always willing to laugh at myself for being an idiot!

No biggie, mistakes happen, just don't want to do that in the states that have the gender police . Most Public restrooms in my area are single occupant type, so no hand wringing over who's using the toilet. Places that serve food still usually have multi-user gender desginated restrooms.

About urinals: a single purpose plumbing fixture that is prone to 'abuse'(trash,gum thrown in drain), urinals are falling out of favor with plumbing engineers. A toilet can be used by either sex for the usual purposes, and has the major advantage of a larger drain line. Even in jail and prisons in all male housing lavatories toilets are the norm, at least with the agencies where I've worked.
 
1974, my first night in Germany, I went into the restroom. No urinals??? There were about six stalls. I saw a women's feet, and then a man's! A German saw my confusion and figured that since I was in uniform I was new in country and gave me a head shake to join him at the "piss wall".
I had my back to the lady who exited the stall and washed her hands. I think that restaurants and bars should have two rest rooms, each with a stool and a urinal and a lock on the door. First come first use and if a couple both need to wizz they can do it together!

I learned when we were in a restaurant in a small town in Canada exactly what women go through waiting for the restroom. There were two unisex restrooms and the lines were long for both. I've rarely had to wait in a line.

Women really get a raw deal when it comes to restrooms, and I understand why some of you have used men's restrooms.

One place we went to said "Setters" and "Pointers". I thought that was kind of funny.

First time I went to Italy, I got off the train and looked for a restroom. The first one said "signore" and had a male attendant, so I figured it had to be the one that said, "signori"......which unfortunately ALSO had a male attendant. Usually they all have ancient lady attendants, which doesn't help, either

I used the men’s room purposely once when I was a young woman in a very popular, crowded bar. The line to the women’s room was extremely long and I couldn’t wait.
Like it was said above, the men were extremely chill about it all and just smiled at me in sympathy. I did what I had to do abd made a quick exit.

lol.. do you think he might have started singing baritone after spotting your ladylike feet at the bottom of the divding wall in the shower room?:ROFLMAO:
 

I accidentally went into the women's restroom today! I tried that and forgot to put the seat down.​

 
When I was younger and traveling with siblings and parents to cottage, we stopped for bathroom break and I wondered why the toilets (urinals) were so weird but I had to go and sat on them anyways. I have walked into a men's washroom but caught my mistake before I met anyone. I am NOT sharing a washroom with a man (ugg). I can't see separate single stalls at a busy place (like arena, etc) either.
 
When my son was small, he insisted on using the men's room but was too young to go in alone. I accompanied him but no-one objected.
There has been more than one occasion when a father has stood outside the Ladies with his little girl and asked a woman to take her in.
Do men's rooms have a baby changing facility? If not, why not?

I have never noticed a baby changing facility in a men's restroom. But at crowded places there often is a baby changing room, solely for this purpose. It can be used by women and men.

Yes, the "piss walls" in German restaurants. They are still existing in some rural inns and pubs.
But meanwhile most restaurants have a row of urinals at the wall.

In case that the women's restroom is overcrowded, every woman could use male urinals with such a device, and in fact some do it.

I did that once when I was in tech school in the Air Force. The Medic class I was in had seveal females in it. Anyway during one of the breaks I needed to do a number 2 so I went down the hall into what I thought was the men's room, sat down in one of the stalls, closed the door and started to "drop a deuce" as the saying goes. Then I hear a group of girls come in and start talking. Shit! I'm in the wrong room!.

So I try to wait them out hoping they don't notice my shoes under the door. I thought about maybe lifting my feet up so as to hide them, but then I thought if I do that and get caught anyway then I look that much more like a pervert. After a couple of very tense minutes I hear one of them say in hushed tones "There's a guy in here!" And another one says "Go get the Instructor" Now I know I'm in a world of shit.

A few minutes later the instructor comes in and says "OK guy, come on out" So I do. I'm so embarassed It feels like my ears are on fire. So I explain to him that I went in by mistake. I guess he sees how embarassed I am because he buys my story. But it really was embarassing as hell to go back to class.

As I walked out of the women's room I noticed the couch. And of course there were no urinals. That should have tipped me off.

By the way, how come they get a couch and we don't? :mad:

On a trip using the rest stop on the highway, I went to use the restroom and didn't notice there were two entrances, one men's and one women's. I went in the men's and didn't notice it was the wrong one, until my husband said, "Honey, you are in the men's room." I hurried to get out before any man showed up.
