For me, two rules. Under no circumstances other than ensuring safe direction of flow, do you look anywhere other than straight ahead. And no using the mirror.

The rest is taken as read - remember watching a good friend's boyf appear from a cubicle, rampantly disobeying rule number two while he fixed his hair, then disappear back downstairs to the waiting vision of femininity and loveliness below. No soap or even water having been applied.

.. Should I have told her?

Obviously, you have not seen the 'vision of femininity and loveliness' that is a women's public toilet...

OR we do something that would really throw it into disarray............

Decide the queue for the ladies is too long and go to the mens - where was that scenario during the breakdown of society!?

(not that I have ever done that you understand

had that done to us at a concert a few years back, girl strolled in the door (obviously on a dare) and asked if she could use the toilet, we all looked round in unison said yes, went back to peeing and she ran out without using one of the cubicles

Why on earth would you do it as a dare, if you`re gonna go then go. Its a human function and if the girls lavvies are full then you can bet your boots one of the cubicles in the guys is free (albeit a bit smelly) and you're perfectly safe in there cos they all take about 5 mins to get to grips with the fact that a girl is in there!

again, not that i'd know

That happened to me at buckingham palace....no honestly.

Huge queue for the ladies, I was by myself in the men's. A woman walks in and asks me if its ok to use the cubicle, I say yes and carry on my business. Wierd thing is she doesn't actually move straight away but I can see in the corner of my eye that she stands there looking for about 20 secs and then moves. Wierd

I have done it on many a occasion.

It's that sort of practicality that Mr L2S likes about me.



I had to dash into the gents at Grouse on Saturday - we lost the disabled kid I was teaching to ski and it was the most lodgical place he would be.

All the men broke windward's rule # 1 as they all turned to face me, and I charged round shouting lost boys name, and a few appologies.

Did find child in there, and promptly told him very loudly that he should tell me before going to the washroom, to help justify my actions.

One New Year's Eve there were a couple of young ladies in a pub I was in who took this one further and used the urinals. They looked like they'd done it before.

Ah, England.
