Nope, I'd leave work and drive to Taco Bell first.

I would, and I have. Not often, of course, but I have been working since 1958, and a few times in that span I have had to use the ladies' room, at least once with a lady in it; such rooms always have stalls with doors, of course, so there is still a measure of privacy. The reverse has also happened; just before a female faculty member was to give a piano recital, she suffered nervous bowels, and the ladies' room was in full use, so she came into the men's, where I was unloading, and calmly blasted away. She was somewhat embarrassed, saying "Please excuse me," but obviously the choice of pooping her pants onstage was just not an option for her. In short, the answer to this question is, and I think should be, yes.

um...this is a web site full of stories of people who crap in the woods, on the side of the highways, in their neighbors yard, in buckets, on floors, in their pants for criss-sake! Why would using the bathroom designated for the opposite sex be any big deal?

I haven't really considered that option. I work in an office tower. If the bathroom on my floor is out of order, I go a floor up. If that one is two, I go two down to the second floor. I have never had to do that mind you.

If all of them are occupied? Not really. I know that I have a good hour to go when I get the urge. The probably of all the pots being closed during that time frame are astronomical.

Which toilet facilities do trannies and hermaphrodites use - male or female? What`s the etiquette for them if there`s no unisex or disabled shitter? A whole other kettle of fish has been opened up here.

I just ate a kettle of fish at Taco Bell and took a giant dump in the ladies room!

I've used the men's room on many occasions! When you gotta go....

Duhmp,
All those qualities are what makes us special.

i have its no big deal, if its a single toilet bathroom

Once again we are faced with the dilemma of BATTLE CONDITIONS. I believe that when such conditions exist that the issue of whose crapper this is then ceases to exist. I think that every effort should always be made to find the nearest crapper of your sex first. But when you are face with a two minute warning shituation then ANY bathroom will doo. Now with this crisis also comes some level of propriety and just plain being conshiterate of each other. For example you should always TRY NOT to go into a bathroom that is occupied by a member of the opposite sex. A knock is in order here to check for occupancy. If there is occupancy if at all possible you should ask if they will be long because you have an emergency (CODE BROWN) and wont make it to the bathroom of YOUR sex. Remember too that this is a toilet you must try to be conshiterate of too. If you splatter the bowl be man enough to clean it up if there is a toilet brush around. Ladies the same thing with your period stuff. See? It is possible to use the other sex's bathroom with respect and to leave it in fairly pristine condition.

I wouldn't. I always keep a few plastic grocery bags around in my office, which has no windows. If push came to shove (or shove came to shit), I'd just close and lock my door, spread the bag on the floor and then cop a squat.

Yo quiero Taco Bell -- but not now that TacoSmell has defiled it.

Deja, you're not shitting in your office! Hold it. Bang on the door. Go to the other restroom. Go out and shit in the parking lot. Do not poop in your office.

I've never actually done the trash-can turd terrorism act, but it strikes me as incredibly funny. I have to second Deja's motion for office-shitting.

I would absolutely use the bathroom of the opposite sex, and have done so several times. In the job I am currently at, most offices that I go to have single seaters for each sex. There have been times where I have urgently had to shit, or run the risk of soiling myself. Usually, I move in on the ladies' room and take care of business, and no one notices. There have been times, where ladies at my work have seen the look on my face of the dire shituation, and have invited me to use their bathroom. There have also been times, where the ladies have used the mens' room for the same reason. The courtesy extends both ways. I also take additional time to make sure that the toilet is properly flushed, with no shrapnel, and the sink is wiped down after washing my hands. There actually has been a couple of times where I have used multi-stalled ladie's rooms, because the mens' room was closed or out of order. One time, a lady stepped in and shit in the stall next to me while I was in there doing the same. A bathroom is a bathroom.

TBox, usually, transgenders try to use the bathroom of the sex they feel that they are mentally and emotionally. It's the way they feel on the inside that determines their sex in genuine cases.

But Daphne, that would mean a lot of gay guys using the ladies toilets and butch dykes having stand up pisses at the men`s urinals.

In fact I quite like the bull dyke scenario, it would make a trip to the toilet much more interesting and fun.

You are so cheeky. Um, flannel rules!

Well, maybe not as far as "gay guys" go. Just because a man is homosexual, it doesn't mean he feels that he's a woman. I was talking about people who truly feel as if they are women but are in men's bodies and wear dresses, act and live as women, and even have surgeries to correct nature's mistake.

Sometimes when it's a dire situation I acknowledge the ladies' room and realize it's my best option... and then hold it or run somewhere else instead. I am mentally blocked from using the ladies' room, even though in retrospect I can count many times where I should have opted to suck it up and let it out with the fairer sex.

There are always unisex disabled stalls y'know. But in answer to the question, damn straight! Any port in a storm!.

like a constipated accountant- I worked it out with a pencil.

You'll probably never see gay guys using the women's bathroom-they don't get the response they want when they wave their hands under the stalls.

yes I would no question about it....hey ya gotta go ya gotta go!
