I mean, really. Oh - and like Sharpest Pencil's issue, it was a gender-neutral hole in the wall. Ewwwwww. I had to move out of France after that.

And once at a concert, when the line stretched a mile and I was busting, I told the evil guard outside the disabled toilet (which was EMPTY, mind you) that if she didn't let me in I'd wee on the floor and sue her for emotional distress. She let me in.<br /><br />And Ally - LOVE IT! And completely agree. Once I stayed in a toilet for 20 minutes trying to work out how to flush the damn thing. It was only when I gave up and left the stall that it flushed. It did it automatically when you opened the door. Of course.

Apparently taps are so passe - and who knew that water could be turned on by a simple motion (but which motion dammit - it worked for her - are my hands invisbile to you? And then you discover there is a pedal on the ground).<br /><br />Once you've washed your hands and are saturated from the fountain or trickle of water that came out (flood or drought - dude that's why you use taps - to control the flow!) you then need a GPS to inform you of the latest hand drying technology around. There is a bin but no paper towel, there is a metal appliance stuck to the wall so you assume its a dryer that asks you to deposit $1 for the privilege of drying your hands, and then you are gladly rewarded with a two pack of ribbed extra large condoms. hmm not the dryer at all then.<br /><br />Yep - I have given up going to the loo in public, unless its my local westfield.ACTing Like A Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946102885122475694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-55884422632411081022009-08-17T15:01:48.604+10:002009-08-17T15:01:48.604+10:00I agree!

Flashy bars are also guilty of this 'too cool for school' signage. A line extending from the women's however is often a dead giveaway, and I end up using the men's anyway.Kim Bergerhttp://www.dfproductions.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
