Why is there always a long line to the women's restroom and no line at all to the men's restroom?

Because Men go BEFORE they leave the house!

I have a slightly different take on this one.  I do agree with most and try to leave it down at home because I live with my wife and I want to be kind to her.\n\nBut in public places like smaller restaurants or other places that have unisex toilets, I think it's better to leave it up.\n\nWhy?  Because the truth is--and I've never understood this--some guys are just lazy or don't give a damn, and they won't bother to lift up the seat if it's already down.  And, well, you can figure out what happens next, and it ends up all gross.\n\nThis happens all the time in the small men's restroom at work--they didn't install enough urinals for the number of men on that floor, so a lot of times we just use the cabins instead of waiting.  I can't tell you the number of times I've gone in and found it disgusting after some idiot went in there and didn't bother to raise the seat.\n\nSame thing at a house party where the liquor is flowing--if you want to end up with a nice, clean bathroom for the ladies, ladies, then make sure to leave the seat up for all the blotto blokes!  (Either that, or have two bathrooms!)

No idea. I've been a woman my entire life, but I've never figured out why I must bring along a pal whenever I need to use a public restroom. I have a few theories, though.\n\n-To talk about whomever else we're with; especially guys.\n-Because WE don't want to be talked about! If all the girls are in the restroom with you, who's going to talk bad about you?\n-For tampons. This might just be my friends and I, but when I'm with my girfriends, I know that I'm never without protection. We'll be in two adjacent stalls and I'll yell, "Damnit! Throw me a tampon!" And two seconds later, a little tube slides under the door. I don't think I could do that with a stranger.\n-Because we've been doing it since we were potty-trained and don't know any better.\n\nJust my theories. I don't really think there's a real explanation.

It's up to whoever owns the restrooms. If it's in your own home, its completely legal. If it's at a place of business, the owner has the right to require you to use a male restroom- if he knows you're a male that is.

Just a guess but the male may not be married huh?\n\nIf he were he would be much more attuned to your problem.\n\nYou have only two choices.\n\n1).  Tell him to please be more considerate when going to the bathroom.\n\n2). Have a male friend tell him.\n\nOr continue to clean it up. \nThere is no real explanation why men do this. has to do with standing up and not paying attention. It is unusual I think to share bathrooms so he may not be even thinking about you having to sit down. Clearly he doesn't sit while at work or you would not have the problem.\n\nAnd please understand you are not being mean to insist that he have a little consideration for you.

If you are weird so am I. This is a very serious issue with me, I like my privacy. I always make sure I have a book of matches in the bathroom and strike a match takes care of the odor. And I prefer privacy in the restroom. I think it is a lady thing. God bless

i cant create a diagram, but it is usually because one holds their urine too long. Meaning, never "hold it!"

Probably the less said the best, single syllable words, like "no", or "uh huh", or "oh HELL no". I guess it all really depends on how you are feeling. Because I have never shared a "urinal", I am not really up on "urinal protocol". BUT being that you are probably standing there for the purpose of peeing it's not really a good time to start looking around or having "animated convesations", unless you are looking for a punch in the nose or maybe some "action"? I think it's a man thing not to look around or have eye contact, but I am not certain about conversations, really.\n\nGood luck, I would go with the eyes forward and very brief answers if you have been asked a question. Give it a manly shake and make sure everything is back in the barn door before you zip up...Then a quick handwash and back out the door! \n\nNow the ladies room is often more talkative. We ask one another if there is toilet paper in the other's stall, we go in looking for feet under the stall doors so we know if the booth is occupied, before we try to enter..You might hear ANYTHING in the ladies room! If two ladies are having a conversation it's usually okay to join them.  This is often a place where men are judged for table manners, or attitude, or being a good catch, or being a jerk...Women talk while they pee, while they wash their hands and also while they stand in front of the mirror fixing hair or face...but they are not exposed to one another when they do it. If there is only one toilet then a pair of ladies may enter, usually one will turn her back and watch the door while her friend can "tend to business" while talking the whole time! Some women have to concentrate a little more or hear a water running, because they have shy bladder, so conversation in a ladies room is usually OK. \n\nIf I had to pee in front of strange women I would probably feel a little odd, but I suppose if I had to go bad enough, even a spot on the side of the road might do fine! It has before on long stretches of lonely road!

Women have to sit on the toilet in order to urinate. I don't know of anyone that drinks beer while sitting on the toilet!!

Every second in the bathroom is a second not doing something else. I don't know any guys who enjoy using the bathroom. Its a bathroom, not like your writing your name on the wall or something :)  So why spend any extra time there. Think about it, that mid pee flush saves you 15 seconds, you do this six times a day and thats a minute and a half extra every day. Every week that's 8 extra minutes. In a month thats half an hour extra time. 3 extra hours a year. Over a decade that means a whole extra day in your life.

I used the stall once....because the line was to long and I was the only one brave enough to go in the mens restroom.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh...............If you promise not to tell anyone else I will tell you why. Okay, I'll take that as a promise.........We go to the bathroom in pairs and we meet up with all the other women who also went to the bathroom in pairs.........then, now this is the big secret part, okay?........Once we are safely in the bathroom and it is all just women we have our secret bathroom rituals.............we rarely ever actually go to the bathroom.........instead we, are you sure you won't tell anyone else? Okay, we usually fix our make-up, check for food between our teeth, make sure our hair still looks good, sometimes we do actually go to the bathroom, and the entire time we are tending to these rituals, we talk about the men we are with. Now you know our big secret!

they never use toilet paper. they consider wiping filthy. they instead wash whenever they do #2. public toilets in many mid-eastern countries have a hose and nozzle near them.

Haha, well.....\n\nI had no idea what this question was going to be about, but hey, I'll answer it anyway.  First of all, its gross.  It smells.  Yes, everyone does it, but it's kind of uncouth.  Girls do it too, I worked with one that would come into my office and do it right in front of me on purpose...so it's not just men.\n\nLeaving the toilet seat up?  Well, cause sometimes we fall in.  Have some courtesy.  No, it's not really a big deal, but still....some women hate it.  \n\nWhat else do we hate?  Um......each individual is different.

I think it is out of pure laziness.  These are the same people who walk right out of the bathroom without washing their hands.\n\nIt doesn't take that much time people!  FLUSH and WASH!!!

The law requires the handicapped be accommodated by adequate facilities.  It doesn't require people to wet themselves waiting for a regular stall to open.  In my company everyone wants the "big stall" because you can stretch out.  You can also change in there if you are going to the gym after work.
