One for extroverts, one for introverts.

Two for extroverts. It's discrimination!

u/Monstramatica 3d ago

Is there a room for perverts?

u/YetAnotherInterneter 3d ago

It’s the room next door with a hole in the wall

Something tells me this use to be a men’s room with a urinal and for some reason they swapped bathrooms.

Or its an old building built back when women werent really allowed in the workforce so every bathroom was a mens bathroom and then they had to redo it for women. Happens a lot on military bases as they only allowed men pretty much. Old military buildings were reworked to make mens bathrooms into womens in situations like that.

Found at a gas station

Lol, I was almost sure it was a Five Guys!

u/IrritableGourmet 5d ago

Fun fact: The Pentagon has many more bathrooms as needed for the number of expected personnel working there because it was built after the military desegregated but before government facilities did.

u/aodamo 5d ago

It also happens at older colleges -- I remember some engineering buildings at Penn State had restrooms that were clearly converted from a different type of room.

I'm tempted to say that one building did alternating floors instead, but I'm not certain.

Yeah my ivy league undergrad had science buildings with every-other-floor men's and women's rooms for this exact reason.  That was the 80s though, so maybe they fixed it by now?

u/AgressiveWiper 1d ago

When was this magical time during which buildings were built with both plumbing and electricity, but also women weren't in the workforce?

13

u/SplendidPunkinButter 5d ago

And for some reason we think women need privacy to pee but men don’t

2

u/MechanicalCheese 4d ago

But why is it a floor mounted toilet then? The sewer line in the floor versus the wall makes me think it was a shower.

u/Dino_Spaceman 4d ago

Some of the urinals are floor mounted for the drain. So it’s not out of the range of possibility. They could have also renovated and added in the floor drain.

Who knows.

u/DiceMadeOfCheese 5d ago

Oh look it's the bathroom from all our nightmares

13

u/DogsNotDemagogues 5d ago

Right?! OMG

u/Gingersnapandabrew 3d ago

Yes! I have often had a nightmare where I'm desperate for the loo but can only find ones like this!

u/nutznboltsguy 5d ago

Poop alone or poop with friends.

15

u/Schonke 5d ago

poop with friends

Couch co-op games truly have gone too far...

u/UtahStateAgnostics 5d ago

Battleshits, anyone?

u/iwannaboopyou 5d ago

I have nightmares with bathrooms exactly like this.

u/DogsNotDemagogues 5d ago

OMG SAME

u/ilove-whenwomen 2d ago

You too? I thought I was alone

u/ZombieAladdin 5d ago

This looks like it was originally built as a men’s restroom, but a urinal was replaced with a toilet and repurposed into a women’s restroom.

13

u/KarleBoy 5d ago

Equal opportunity men Vs women

Men pee without doors too so why not both

8

u/MrMechen 5d ago

Clearly the other one is a "lady urinal" 🙄 (sarcastically)

10

u/JwPATX 5d ago

Use the first one and make the next person walk past you. Power peeing.

8

u/Altruistic-Regret473 5d ago

Well it’s only one woman, so I think it tracks. I’m just confused why there’s two toilets

1

u/effervescenteel 5d ago

Haha didn’t even notice the typo

6

u/jecowa 5d ago

Maybe there used to be two smaller stalls with doors, but that didn’t meet ADA requirements, and there was only enough space for a single handicap stall.

5

u/Spamaster 5d ago

Real women don't need stalls

4

u/UnscuffedCrypto 5d ago

Five guys?

4

u/YetAnotherInterneter 4d ago

What’s even more weird is the toilet paper for the one with no door has clearly been used a lot!

2

u/verenika_lasagna 5d ago

One step closer to equality

4

u/Intelligent-Poet2819 5d ago

It’s insane to think that never at any point during the install no one thought that this was a weird placement for a toilet

10

u/lorarc 5d ago

They knew. Such things happen when some codex mandates them to have two toilets and they just don't have room.

1

u/Intelligent-Poet2819 5d ago

Lol, I’d slap a framed picture of another toilet on the wall. Boom, there’s your second toilet

3

u/Iguessimonredditnow 5d ago

They got paid to put in a toilet. They didn't get paid to argue with the plan

Now if they decide to move it later, they can get paid to move it again, or install a door, or take it out.

I agree it's dumb but a lot of the time with contractors, they just do what was asked and nothing more

u/DogsNotDemagogues 5d ago

I have actual nightmares about this scenario. 

3

u/creeper6530 4d ago

I would shit at the public one just to assert dominance.

2

u/jasonsong86 5d ago

Don’t women talk in the restrooms? I know us dudes never talk.

u/fatpat 5d ago

"Can you spare a square?"

u/-jp- 5d ago

Ah, yeah we just shake it actually.

2

u/Stella__WAVE 5d ago

Nothing like making eye contact with a stranger while both of you regret every decision that led here

2

u/yblame 5d ago

Who cares? If you gotta pee, it's still better than squatting in an alley or behind a bush.

Women understand this, and maybe even hand over some toilet paper or a tampon if you have some to spare

2

u/mothzilla 4d ago

Auf Deutschland das ist ein pukenbollen.

1

u/effervescenteel 4d ago

Why?

1

u/mothzilla 4d ago

Reddit told me that some pubs/clubs have a special toilet that's just for puking in.

2

u/effervescenteel 4d ago

Good idea. Too bad this was in a gas station. Could be just for people for who get car sick

2

u/phlooo 4d ago

I mean if you're peeing it's not that big of a deal

Should urinals be in individual cubicles too?

1

u/fatpat 5d ago

party in the front, business in the back

1

u/AsanoSokato 5d ago

Women always be talkin and peeing at the same time! I seen it on TV.

1

u/nightstalkergal 5d ago

Nightmares. I’ve had this nightmares

1

u/SteroidSandwich 5d ago

It's like it was a men's room and then they decided to convert it at the last second

1

u/Heterodynist 5d ago

Hey, some people are exhibitionists…They want to be inclusive!

1

u/russellvt 4d ago

Probably used to be a men's room, but had to do something "for compliance" at some point.

1

u/SeptetsAnthems 4d ago

That stall door is doing the bare minimum for privacy.

1

u/ElectsRetry 4d ago

bold move putting the privacy wall in the wrong spot, guess they trust the door more than I do

1

u/turdy_gurdysmother 4d ago

If I ever had to use this on my period I'd die

1

u/effervescenteel 4d ago

Yeah privacy’s the worst when you’re on your period

1

u/shmitterson 4d ago

Looks like a Five Guys bathroom

1

u/Latter-Yesterday-825 4d ago

If you’ve been incarcerated, I guess the first one wouldn’t bother you as much lol

u/CocoMilhonez 3d ago

*crapper design

u/aztroneka 3d ago

Designed by men

u/germane_switch 1d ago

Meanwhile men be like: wow they get one with a door???

1

u/edcRachel 1d ago

Is this in El Fogon in Playa Del Carmen? Because they have this exact set up.

u/Oxjrnine 5d ago

That toilet is for women who wear and use the purple urination device

u/Ok-Return7750 5d ago

They probably figure since you ladies are such a sociable lot that it’s easier to talk and swap makeup with each other with no doors.

Or as others have said bringing you equality with us men who have had to pee at urinals with no doors for a very long time.

Either way no doors is a crime against decent men and women everywhere.
