no barriers between urinals in public bathrooms

Come on gents...lets not complain too loudly about urinals. At least we have the option of using them. With motion sensors, we never have to touch the damn things. Women have it much worse. I've heard horror stories about some ladies rooms.

While closing down my bar last night, this is what I discovered in the women's room.

Awesome.

WOW! That must of been one hell of a drunken cat fight :eek:

One wonders why someone did not say something sooner...
 
Nobody said a word. I only discovered it when I went into the men's bathroom, saw that the floor was flooded, and traced the river across the hall into the women's bathroom. Not only was the sink on the floor, but whoever did it left the water running.

And I really can't figure out when it happened. It was one of the slowest nights I've ever worked. I never had more than a dozen people in the bar at a given time, and about 90% of them were men.

Women need to learn to use urinals (and there needs to be ones provided in the women's rooms) or they'll sit on the sink when the stall is occupied -I've seen it happen and believe it's what happened there.

(Plus: it's never a good idea to rely on glue to keep up a sink that is to be used by 'the general public' -which it looks like was the case with this particular sink.)

Well, that's a whole different issue. Our maintenance guy leaves much to be desired.
 
^Indeed a different issue -the person who pulled the sink off the wall should clearly have mentioned something...
 
The most bizarre thing I've ever seen in a men's room stall has got to be the time I walked into the bathroom of a fast food restaurant and found a tan leather glove floating in toilet water full of urine.

I don't even want to know.
 
The metal troughs at Dodger Stadium are even worse. They're always crowded and don't have the separation of urinals to give you natural spacing, so sometimes all the shrapnel and ricochets flying around from dudes standing too close make you feel like you're on the Omaha Beach of urine.

Ugh. I've seen and used those.

Not sure how bad things are in the Staples Center or what the LA Coliseum restrooms look like now, but the bathrooms in the Colisseum used to be pretty bad, and the troughs in the Forum were worse than the ones in Dodger Stadium.
 
I agree with the OP 100%. I don't particularly care for open anything. The worst offenders are places/bars that have open troughs - WTF, seriously. A barrier = privacy AND protection also. Sharing space and bumping elbows with fools IS LAME, especially if the person beside you is drunk as a skunk.

So what if there's no barriers? Just don't look. Doesn't seem too hard to do. :shrug:
Straight Down. Straight Ahead. Straight Up - these are the only places a guy can look while using an open facility. Don't look, or if drunk, sway left or right. I know my man rules. It's the OTHER guy I don't trust.

:bolian:

Some woman might of brought a guy in there while you weren't looking they were doing the nasty in there. I remember hearing about this your couple having sex on a toilet, long story short they broke it.

I haven't been to the Coliseum since the Raiders played there, but the restrooms at Staples Center have individual urinals, are abundant on each floor, there are special family restrooms with large stalls and changing tables, and the women's ones apparently have lots of stalls available to handle traffic. The heads are so sanitary that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump. ;)

Staples is a great arena.
 
I'm going to hate seeing the Metrodome go. They have arguably the worst bathrooms in any pro sports facility, but there's something novel about that.
 
^ Are they any closer to building Farmers Field? IIRC, that's supposed to go up right next to Staples C.

The LA Planning Commission just gave it a unanimous "yes" vote the other day, and now it moves to the LA City Council on Sept. 28th to vote on the environmental impact report. If it clears that (and it should, because the previous non-binding memorandum of understanding got a unanimous "yes" vote in the LACC) they can start breaking ground in 2013. It's about damn time too.

And yeah, it will be right next to Staples.

^ Do they yet know what team's going to play there? Which do you hope it will be?

The top five contenders were the Vikings, Jaguars, Chargers, Raiders, and Rams. The Vikings got approval for a new stadium, though, so they're staying in Minnesota. I've become something of a Chargers fan (though not as much as I was of the Rams) since the Rams and Raiders left, but at the same time I'd hate to see San Diego lose them (and I can drive down there in an hour and a half to see a game anyway). I guess I wouldn't mind seeing Jacksonville come here and start fresh with a new team who's never been in the area before, but the smarter move economically would be to bring back a team with an existing fanbase in the city, so we'll probably get the Rams or Raiders. I don't particularly care, as long as we have a team again, though I'd rather have the Rams than the Raiders.
 
^ Isn't there another new stadium (the Edmund Roski one) going up as well? IIRC, that one is already fully paid for, they just need a team to commit.
