No, not seriously. Those would be the historic toilets on display so people can see what they looked like in ancient Rome.

The actual public restrooms have plumbing, real toilets, and are wheelchair accessible with diaper-changing stations.

All this fuss...Single use starter shacks

Not in The Villages, but we have been out and I have had to go to the restroom really bad and my husband has made me go in the men's restroom (a one room type with a lock on the door), when the ladies room has been occupied. May the lady in line had to go really bad and was going to take first available rahter than have an embarrasing accident?

Explain to me how it is dangerous for a woman to use a one toilet men's room?

You never know just as we will never know how bad the man had to go before having an accident. That is never the criteria for using restrooms. Signs on the doors is the more accepted one.

No matter what you want to claim, we all know the truth of it. I have no problem if we want to treat all lockable single public restrooms as unisex, I can live with it. But I do have a problem if we are expected to treat all such restrooms as usable by woman, but only those marked as Men as usable by men.

I agree with your conclusion.

It's easy to use the side of ones shoe to lift the lid before peeing, or even use toilet paper to reach down and lift it, so why do so many pigs...refuse to do so?

In fact, a lot of new toilet seats now have an extended portion where lifting the seat...is made even that much easier.

It's simply nasty to follow someone who is too lazy, or an insensitive pig, when you need to sit down...and look at a pi$$ covered toilet seat.

Do these guys pee all over their own toilet seats at home?

YUCK!!

Since some women use the Men’s Room which you seem to advocate and since we now know from this thread (always learning something new...I had no idea ) many women do not sit but stand and aim, how do you know it was , as you so gently put it, a Male “Pig” and not a Female “Pig”. Or perhaps, a “Pig”with a little of both Make and Female characteristics?

That's always a possibility (regardless of how remote), but my personal experiences have primarily been using the restroom directly after a man has come out...and there's pee all over the still lowered seat.

If you do that and someone going in after you says..."do you pee on your seat at home too?"...it could've be me that said it.

As someone above noted, the perfect example of this subject are the lone bathrooms...at many starter shacks.

The so-called "danger" in this...exists only in one's minds...especially if you are in North Carolina.

Otherwise, when "you gotta go, you gotta go".

When there is a line, just wait your turn! This is such a non-issue!

YEP...exactly!

It's primarily a made up hypothetical to disguise...misogynistic views.
