      I could try and get them all in a single wild stream, like an F1 victory champagne.

    My bf and I went to see Dethklok and DragonForce. We both went to the restroom at the same time.

    I walked right the women’s room, went and then joked around with the other women about how we walked right in I left the restroom pushed my way through crowds, saw my partner was still standing in line, went to the bar, got drinks, then hung out until he was done.

    IT WAS SO WEIRD AND AWESOME.

    Also the concert was awesome.

      I remember seeing dragonforce in this small venue quite some time ago, we didn’t really get bands like that where I lived. It was pretty cool as we had a smoke with the drummer during the intermission out front. I only really knew one of their songs as I was a massive guitar hero fan but it was totally worth it just for that.

      Wait until you take in a metal show with a band that has a big following of women.

      There’s going to be lines at both, but there’s also going to be a line of women in the men’s room waiting for stalls.

      That’s the big benefit of urinals; you can cram more of them into the same space. Ngl, if I was a woman and going to shows, I’d carry one of those “porta jane” funnels and use the damn urinals instead of waiting for my bladder to pop

    Not relly an issue for you in this bathroom based on this pic, butt I absolutely fuckin’ hate urinals without a divider. I went to go take leak, not go to an impromtu sausage party for fucks sake. Gimme some god damn privacy!

    Who shares my sentiment?

        Those are still in a lot of places here in the UK. Apparently it used to be common in a lot of countries for bars in pubs to be surrounded by a gutter with a drain at one end so guys could just piss and spit without having to leave their stool. I suppose when everybody smoked indoors the smell wouldn’t have been as much of a problem.

        Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

        Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

          Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women’s toilets, so she lined up at the men’s urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.

      I won’t use a urinal unless it’s an emergency and no other options are available. They’re uncomfortable.

      I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like “what do you do if you gotta shit??”. Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.

      Went to see a musical recently, and I spent nearly all of the intermission trying to force my bladder to get a move on, because the dividers were so damn small and scores of men lined my peripheral vision. If I walked into this bathroom, I’d leave and hold it.

      I agree. I never use urinals for this reason, I will always go into a stall. Fuck urinals dude

      Totally agree, this was my thought too! Literally doesn’t take any extra space, just put dividers between the urinals…

      I once went to a large outdoor music festival. They had these round plastic units that had urinals shaped around the outside. So you’re facing each other. Whilst I was using one a guy came over and said “Isn’t it great that we can piss whilst staring into the eyes of another man!”

      I have crippling stage fright even with a generous divider. It would be literally impossible for me to pee in this place.

      I don’t care about dividers but I do hate when it’s just once long trough that everybody uses. I’m so glad they stopped using them.

        Last time I went to a concert at an arena (over 10 years ago at this point), I held my piss far too long to avoid the lines/trough… I finally gave in mid-set, and there was still a line. Finally got to the trough, and I dunno if it was because I held it for so long or because I was surrounded by drunk men with their dongs out, but I suddenly had shy bladder syndrome for the first time in my life… Stood their with my dick in my hand for what felt like 10 mins (probably more like 1), but nothing. I had to wait for a stall to open up and then still had like a 30 sec wait before I could actually start pissing. It was awful.

        Fuck piss troughs. We should’ve left that shit behind like 300 years ago.

      Unbelievable guess! It wasn’t, but she is also the world’s biggest Ghost fan. She went to watch them a week or so ago and cried with happiness throughout.

        Sleep token is touring soon if you want another band to take her to, tickets are kinda hard to get though (rabid fans + scalpers)

        I never learned the science of urinals. What makes a great one? What makes one suck? I usually go in, pee and get the hell out, pay no mind.

          If they’re long enough you can angle the stream so it hits at like 30º, but otherwise it’s harder to prevent splashback

    This also happened to me to back in the 90s at a Melissa Ethridge concert.

    See that’s a generational divide. Millenial women would have already co-optes that bathroom.
