You are in a building. You go to a restroom that has a very unassuming door and exterior, expecting the usual, but instead find that this one is…enormous. It has 500 stalls and 50 sinks, and is immaculately clean, has all kinds of recessed lighting and decorations, entire shelves of free-for-all menstruation products, dozens of diaper tables, and an entire wall of big mirrors. Everyone inside the restroom is acting like this is totally normal; unremarkable.

  • Nice, just what public restrooms were always meant to be
  • That’s…odd

You enter the door that says “Restroom” expecting it to be an anteroom with doors that say “men” and “women” but instead find yourself in the enormous facility described in the previous post. There are people sitting in chairs off to the side conversing, people going on about their “business”, and apparently several attendants.

  • there are males and females going here with no regard to proprieties, argh, this is more than I can take, I will trot on over to the gas station where they have gendered facilities
  • hey, I can cope, all the fixtures provide adequate privacy (though not total, it will be good enough)
  • parfait (but, not in the restroom)

You have to take a trip across the Atlantic from the US to Europe. You are footing the bill yourself. How do you go?

You don’t get to say you wouldn’t go. You have to go.

I’m using British Airways as an example of what the travel classes are like, mainly because I’ll be flying with them in just over a week.

  • Flying standard economy, the cheapest seat possible.
  • Flying economy, but I’d pay extra for a good seat, like an exit row.
  • Flying premium economy – wider seat and more legroom, plus a somewhat better meal, but you still have to sleep sitting up.
  • Flying business class – a pod with a big seat that folds flat into a bed, and better food still
  • Flying first class – a full on suite with a comfy seat that converts to a bed, and basically fine dining food service.
  • Forget flying, I’m taking the Queen Mary 2, in the cheapest stateroom
  • I’ll take the Queen Mary 2 in a first class suite
