Why does the Pentagon have so many restrooms?

they have twice as many bathrooms because it was built during the time when they had Jim Crow laws, which meant that there had to be bathrooms for black and white people.

Guess what, oh "high social class" child... you are NOT of a high enough social class to use faculty restrooms. Those restrooms are for people who have risen to a high degree of education, have a professional licensure, and actually are 100% responsible for their own lives. If you care to point out that other staff also uses the faculty restrooms (educational assistants, custodians, etc.), then note that these people also have earned the right through their hard work and training. You will also notice that they generally yield right-of-way to the faculty.\n\nIf you have an issue with other students trashing the student bathrooms (not a function of income, you silly goose, but lack of sense of "ownership"), call the custodian EVERY time you go in and find a mess. Pretty soon, the custodian will get fed up with having to clean it all the time, bug administrators, and something will be done.\n\nIn my school, when kids were trashing the bathrooms, we developed a "sign out" process during class time, to know what kids were in the bathrooms and when. Before and after school, during class changes, etc., a faculty member stands duty outside each set of bathrooms. We have no more problems.

We usually take the one urinal most distant from an occupied one. And no we don't line up behind eachother we just wait around until one is available. \nIf urinals are not available, we generally kick every stall door really hard until one is flung open empty and use that. Which helps the guy taking a dump take a much faster one. lol\n\nHere's a hilarious little game that explains the dynamics:\nhttp://gamescene.com/The_Urinal_Game_game.html

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.

Well, I know that people are becoming more liberal in their ideas about Mens rooms and Womens rooms. \nMore and more places are putting up privacy stalls so that Men and Women can share the same restrooms. \n\nThis is helpful for two reasons:\n\n1) It reduces sexism.\n2) People with children are able to help their kids more comfortably use public toilets.

Great question! No, really!\nI've heard the bathroom referred to as "the library", "the study", "the office". All great references to a place where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. But the reading material... ah that is almost sacred. My dad had a magazine basket. He always had a copy of the infamous "Jokes For The John" handy. And of course the latest copy of "Mechanics Illustrated". I learned a lot about mechanical things as a result of that exhaustive literary archive.\nI must admit there is just such a basket in my home now, after all these years. It is filled with old copies of "US" and "People" and "Readers Digest" though. Not the masculine fare I grew up with. The reason? It's not my basket, it's hers!\nSo I guess it really is a cross-gender phenomenon. Don't get me wrong, I do have my favorite reading material. "Jazz Times" is good, "Gourmet" oddly enough. So "what's the perfect companion in times of complete relaxation" you ask? The latest Harley Davidson catalog of course! All the accessories, the chrome, the custom sheet metal kits, the new tachs, the leather bags. Oh, oh! How could life be better? It could not! Fifteen to thirty minutes of privacy and relative silence with a Harley catalog. OH! It's like closing your eyes and waking up in heaven. It's akin to my granddaughter's perception of Disney World. It's Nirvana. It's Shangri-la. It's the Seventh Heaven! It's like being on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise just as Jon-Luc gives the command to "fire all phasers" or "fire proton torpedos, full battle spread". Are you kidding me? It is the very thread of life itself.\nTo not read in the bathroom is, is, is, to not breath the air that sustains life. To withhold the blood that pulses through our veins. To order a tall three-shot latte and pour it out on the ground. It is impossible to even think about! It cannot, indeed, it must not be contemplated. Who are you and what have you done with the real gudrun077?

Toilets have various restrains (foot loops, thigh restraints, etc.) so that astronauts will not float away when he/she is using it. Also, due to weightlessness, the toilets rely on air and vacuum pump which creates suction to remove the waste. When urinating, astronauts use a large tube that is connected to the bottom front of the toilet. This tube also has air circulating through it carrying the urine to a holding tank. Anatomically correct urine funnel adapters are attached to this tube so that both men and women can use the same toilet.

probably for those that feel their privacy is being intruded upon when someone of the opposite gender sees them using the restroom

cough so they won't mistakenly open your stall door, then let er rip. \n\nonce i was at the denver international airport and i was taking a piss, and some dude was taking a noisy a$$ sh*t.  all the sudden he expelled the loudest piece of crap imaginable, it splashed loud and everything.  then some dude peeing in the urinal next to me yells, "ALL RIGHT!!!" super loud.  that's how taking a crap in a public place should be - like a sporting event.

...according to "official" blueprints of the ship, there's a bathroom right off of the main bridge.\n\nActually, I take that back...according to Wiki:\n\nAs a running gag, bathrooms are never shown on Enterprise schematics. The gag was started when toilets were accidentally omitted from the design of the original Enterprise. This joke is referenced in Star Trek: First Contact when Zefram Cochrane asks Geordi La Forge "...don't you people from the 24th century ever pee?" In a special, aired before the final episode, Jonathan Frakes actually answered the question of where one could actually find a bathroom on a diagram of the ship, and pointed to a diagram of the Enterprise seen in Engineering, indicating where it was. For the record, the only confirmed appearance of a toilet aboard the Enterprise was in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
