Before I started working in my present job, I’ve not seen such a thing. So, when I see it now, I wonder whether I’ve just been dim or whether its just strange behavior after all. Our building used to have a bowling alley in it. In the area which I believe to have been a staff area, there are two individual washrooms. There are public washrooms in the building as well. These individual washrooms are side by side and clearly labeled “Women” and “Men”. I’ve noticed on about six occasions that a woman will go straight into the “Men’s”, even if there is no one in the “Women’s”. I’ve never seen a man do the same thing. As a man, I would never dream of using the women’s washroom, as its been set aside for women. I’d go elsewhere if I had to and I don’t know of a man who wouldn’t do the same, out of respect.
I’m not trying to start something big here, but I’d really like to know if this kind of thing is common. Ladies, would you do the same as those I’ve experienced? Guys, have you seen this? Would you waltz into the “Ladies” if you had to go? Or would you hold on until you found a “Men’s” somewhere?
