Nah, this is a good test. If you are too drunk to read this, you are too drunk. Grab a glass of water and take a seat and let the adults handle the signage.

and then piss yourself?
TheTowerBard t1_jbt2997 wrote
If you are too drunk to make sense of these sign, yes, I’d imagine that is a possibility. So uh, how ‘bout a glass of water?
Laser-Nipples t1_jbt47ur wrote
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's not in the bar owner's best interest to have people not be able to read signs, sit down, drink water, and them piss themselves all over a bar seat.
TheTowerBard t1_jbt55ma wrote
As someone with 17 years experience in bars, I can assure you that this owner is very happy with their signs and anyone dumb enough to piss themselves will simply not be welcome back again.

Both bathrooms have toilets.

I was just thinking the exact same thing!!! I understand it, and the rationale behind it fine sitting here sober, but if it was my first time drinking in that bar and I'd had a few and needed to piss I would be like "so...does that mean there's a subpar urinal in the other one?"
DiscHorse t1_jbsryaq wrote
I dunno, if I'm drunk and see a sign that says "no urinal" that's a pretty clear "this is not the bathroom I need" message for me
ArtemusW57 t1_jbss5pn wrote
Yeah, I initially only saw the preview picture (where the bottom sign is cropped out) and thought that was the entire thing.
SmashDreadnot t1_jbt065h wrote
Right, but how awesome is the urinal? I've seen some pretty awesome ones.

This is from The Backyard restaurant in Stowe, been there, some great food ( tater tots loaded with cheese and rib meat, yum). I can say after setting that great expectation for the urinal, it was rather ordinary looking. You'd expect an artisan handcrafted/welded urinal or something not the cookie cutter porcelain ones like they have XD
SmashDreadnot t1_jbt9ig6 wrote
Hmm. Disappointing. I've seen raw steel, lacquered copper, one shaped like a flower, and even had a couple with a view (like windows to to the outside over the urinal). I'll check it out next time I'm in the area, anyway.
Possibly-deranged t1_jbta7au wrote
Yeah craft breweries are good for those! Seen some unique, hand crafted ones before
John0831 t1_jbtito9 wrote
I agree. But their urinal mints are the bomb!

Ok, but it's getting to the point where I might have to read 3 tiers of signage before knowing where to pee. I'm all for keeping things to a simple graphic or 1-2 words...I imagine that's also easier for folks who don't speak English as their first language. (And drunks.)
The last show I went to had the typical restroom icons indicating M/W/handicap accessibility. Then on top of that they had those cheeky signs for "what to do if you think someone is using the wrong restroom...step 1: acknowledge they have a better understanding of their own gender identity than you do, step 2: mind your own business", then on top of THAT the band playing had strong feelings about gender neutral restrooms, so they had more signs explaining that the M/F icons were temporarily irrelevant. So I'm standing there reading all this, doing my little potty dance, in order to understand why a gaggle of giggling teenage girls is flitting from one restroom to the next.
Who knew bodily functions could require so much direction??

Does nobody realize that most bathrooms in the state are gender neutral?
ClarissaDarjeeling t1_jbyuqxz wrote
That's what's so ironic about the whole thing...like, have you ever peed at home, or at someone else's house? Then congrats, you've used a gender neutral restroom. And it didn't require a novella of explanation.
I remember when UVM changed all their signage for unisex, handicap-accessible restrooms to indicate "gender neutral". Correcting a problem that never existed in the first place...

Hula is this way too. Sometimes all the stalls in one are full so you gotta go over to the dark side. Stalls are super private so no big deal but a little awkward. I think it makes more sense at a bar then a workplace

So men’s room and women’s room?
_JunkyardDog t1_jbtuslu wrote
It's a shitter. Do you have gendered bathrooms at home?
FourteenthCylon t1_jbtvqa4 wrote
No, but then, I don't have thirty people drinking beer and playing pool in my home either.
MileyMan1066 t1_jbufil7 wrote
my man has never had a party even one time
akmjolnir t1_jbth92c wrote
Gendered bathrooms are dumb.
If the men's room is full I'm going to knock, and use the female bathroom, if it's empty.

Seen an old beer keg cut and plumbed up for a urinal.

I came here for the hate on men.
orangeyoke t1_jbuz9wx wrote
The best restroom sign I ever saw was one that just had someone standing up and someone sitting down, that’s all it needs to be. Whatever, just wash your hands!
tacon8 t1_jbv1uof wrote
German dudes sit and pee. :)

The world is my urinal.
lantonas t1_jbriotz wrote
This kind of seems like a hate crime
HardTacoKit t1_jbrluhr wrote
Who do you think is meant to be hated?
lantonas t1_jbrnaul wrote
Imagine being a transwoman and the only bathroom available is advertised as having a urinal.
Norse-Gael-Heathen t1_jbrnpvx wrote
And how is that different from being a man and the only available bathroom is for a woman? Or needing to change a baby and the one bathroom with a changing station is occupied? These are "hate crimes?" The world does not exist to cater to your every desire at the drop of a hat. Sometimes you gotta wait for a bathroom. If you can't deal with that, you're not prepared to enter society.

Lantonas is solid Edgelord/Both Sides/trolly McTrollface content—should come with a “For Entertainment Purposes Only” label…
ICU4UCI t1_jbrtq5y wrote
The other sign literally says it does not have a urinal?
What would you like to see?
HardTacoKit t1_jbrnfxg wrote
Are you not seeing the second image?
lantonas t1_jbrno3j wrote
Yes. Imagine the bathroom without the urinal is in use.
I'm literally shaking just thinking about this.
HardTacoKit t1_jbro07h wrote
You are shaking about an imaginary scenario you made up in your head?
Cant the imaginary person in your head just wait for their preferred bathroom to be available? Like you and I do in real life all the time?
Eagle_Arm t1_jbs23n2 wrote
They can't think! Didn't you hear?! They're shaking!!
Squee1396 t1_jbskj6p wrote
You know that people with penises can pee in regular toilets right?
Also any bathrooms anywhere can be in use, i am a female and if the female bathroom is in use i just wait, like everyone else. Haven't you ever been to an airport or place where there are lines for the bathroom?
I looked at your profile and know you think your trolling now but why would you want people to think your stupid?
gcubed680 t1_jbrqrn3 wrote
Both bathrooms have toilets, one has a urinal also. You can stop your shaking
Maleficent_Rope_7844 t1_jbses8v wrote
I think it's safe to assume that the bathroom with the urinal would still have a toilet. Since even if you have the "equipment" to use a urinal, it might not serve your needs at that moment.
I've also never (ever) seen a bathroom with literally just a urinal.
_JunkyardDog t1_jbtuok7 wrote
Use the other one, but please put the seat down when you're leaving.
FourteenthCylon t1_jbrnjho wrote
While I’m all for inclusiveness, bar bathroom signs really should be clear enough to be understood while drunk.
