Battle of the Sexes: Using the Men's

It’s 1am, you’re drunk and your bladder is too. She’s screaming for release and you feel as if you really might explode.

You look down the line you’ve been waiting in for what feels like forever. It’s packed. Women are dancing around ahead of you, holding their na-na’s and chatting away. The three stalls you’re all waiting for are stubbornly ‘occupied’.

This is a bad situation.

You look over at the lone guy walking out of the men’s stall – behind him there’s no line. You peek in without moving from your spot. No-one’s there.

But is it ever okay for women to use the men’s bathroom?

The answer to this is usually probably not, but I’ve thought of some scenarios that make it okay (sort of) to do it like a dude (not literally):

1.       You are absolutely, 100% positive that if you do not go right now you will pee. Everywhere.

2.       No-one is in the men’s bathroom, and it’s going to stay that way.

3.       The women’s is out of order (DRAMA).

4.       You own the bathroom.

But other than that, sadly, it’s not okay. You’re going to have to hold your kooka until that toilet is ‘vacant’.

You could risk it, but you’ll probably get booted out (take it from someone who knows), or maybe just maybe you could not drink as much. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yeah, right.
