I’m not sure how the logistics would even work for people to line up for each individual stall. There is often barely enough room between the stall doors and back wall to walk past someone else exiting. ---

I went to the Oktoberfest in Munich once. As I was looking for a restroom, I saw a couple guys who had found an out-of-the-way patch of gravel and were siphoning the python right there. Needs must when the devil drives, and all that, but I kept looking and found an actual bathroom in a little while. ---

_Wildpinkeln_ is notorious at the Oktoberfest, on the site itself and in surrounding streets. [Article from _Focus_ magazine (German language), with instructive snapshot](https://m.focus.de/thema/oktoberfest/bis-zu-1-500-euro-bussgeld-darauf-sollten-sie-auf-der-wiesn-besser-verzichten_id_203873597.html) Regarding provisions for male/female guests, my theory is that venues do not consult their visitors’ comfort but the venues’ convenience: **The waiting time threshold when the first patrons begin to urinate in any old place is much higher for women than for men**. So it is a logical policy to aim for low waiting times for men. ---

I feel like there is a shortage of the good old squatty potty [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/French_Squatter_Toilet.jpg/700px-French_Squatter_Toilet.jpg) ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/French_Squatter_Toilet.jpg/700px-French_Squatter_Toilet.jpg) in public places in certain countries. Unisex, and your bare ass does not have to touch some filthy seat. ---

Two points: I go to NHL hockey games regularly, and there the line for the men’s room is always much longer than for the women. One time I went to an arena pop concert where the artist’s fan base was strongly female, and they actually switched half the men’s bathrooms to women by putting signs up on the doors. ---

This the way I picture Martha Stewart in prison. The main bitch walks over the shake up the rich girl and five minutes later they are sharing recipes and doing each other’s nails. Like a Boss!
