This is precisely the kind of question that girls wonders when they go to the bathroom together. And yes this should be in MPSIMS. ---

Most women go to the bathroom alone most of the time. But the real secret reason why women sometimes go to the bathroom in groups is because weā€™re afraid of Hanako-san. Or else itā€™s because you often have to wait so long to get a stall in public womenā€™s restrooms that itā€™s good to bring a friend. One or the other. ---

I thought this thread was going to be about couples who go to the bathroom together. I used to know a pair like thatā€¦she would hold his hands and stare lovingly into his eyes while he pinched a loaf. Gross. Carry on. ---

They borrow make-up from each other and give hair critiques. And talk about getting lucky. Or how to ditch a crappy date. Or borrow tampons. ---

There was a tour of homes in my area, that gave the public a chance to look at new, expensive, homes. In one of them, the master bathroom had a shower designed to be used by a couple. I thought it was the coolest shower ever. Uhmā€¦Iā€™m not a girl, so I have no clue re: the OP. Iā€™ve allways chalked it down to female being more of a talkitive, social, stereotype than male. askol ---

The locks to bathroom stalls are often broken, so itā€™s nice to have a friend standing guard for you; as well as having someone passing you some tp because no one working wherever has gotten a chance to change the roll, and you didnā€™t notice until your pants were puddled around your ankles. And, of course, we have to talk about what an idiot \ is being, and we donā€™t want to say it in front of the person because theyā€™d probably take it the right way. ---

So we donā€™t have to use the mens on our own when the queue for the ladies is a mile long.
