Male AUKs who use the ladies toilets, including at commercial controls.
Guilty
Sorry, but if I need a pooh and some eejit is occupying the gents to ostentatiously slap unnecessary arse cream on his nethers, and there's no-one in the ladies, I'll use it.
You are in the minority, unless all other male AUKs can poo standing up. I don't care what your arrangements are at home, but if you use the
ladies toilets, put the bloody seat down after.
I understand the whole 'less women in audax' thing means the ladies is less often occupied, but:
(i) Ladies toilets have fewer units (usually the same number of cubicle, but nothing else) so get full quicker
(ii) Ladies wearing bibshorts may not be fully dressed outside of the cubicles but inside the main door - there's not much space to move around in the cubicles if you need to rearrange all of your clothes.
(iii) The little grey box/bin in the corner of the cubicle needs to stay
inside the cubicle. If you don't know what it is for,
then don't touch it.
(iv) If there are women already in the toilets, leave them alone. On the BCM last year I had a male AUK rattling the cubicle door in the Honey Cafe whilst I was in there, then huffing and puffing outside (within the toilet block) for another 3-4 minutes. I was so freaked out by this that I didn't go to the toilet again until Kings. On the return leg.
(v) In a commercial control, there are other people who might want to use the toilets.
I have no problem with unisex toilets. They are invariably bigger toilets, so don't have a lot of the issues described above. Also, if the only option was a portaloo that was minging, I wouldn't go. To the point of very serious internal damage.
