MEN AND WOMEN ONLY: In times of desperation have you ever use the opposite gender's washroom/toilet?

Yes, and I had two of my girlfriends on in with me, so in case any guys comes in, he'd think he accidentally walked into the ladies' washroom (instead of us in the guys' washroom)

Couple of times during the times when my family travels with Express Buses. You know those freaking petrol stations that love to lock the ladies' toilet...that's why

Yes! When there is a long line at the ladies room, I have done this and encouraged other women to do this, always remembering it is still the men's territory be gracious to the men! There are single W.C./toilets, right?

Luv... age is a frame of mind, numbers have little to do with it. None of us want to get old. I too have had numerous changes this last year or so. Father Time and Mother Nature are not very kind to any of us. But I do think that men have a far easier time dealing with the aging process. Men become distinguished and that is completely acceptable. Women on the other hand.... Our entire lives are based on our looks. We are forced by the pressure of having to keep up with those that are more fortunate in looks and shape. The older we get, the more insecure we become because there is always that knowledge staring us right in the face that there is "younger" and "better" out there. From advertisements to magazines....... This is a very shallow world we live in, one that has been geared toward having the best of the best. I can't come anywhere close to competing with these younger, more shapely girls that want to advertise themselves in skimmpy clothing that is little more than a written invitation. Sure there was a time when I could hold my own, but that time has come and gone and I sit by myself alone because of it. No one can see past the exterior to what lies beneathe. So I can relate to what you are saying about hating the aging process. IT SUCKS!!!!!

Yes, twice. Both when i was in Indonesia, first was the departmental store then the airport. I was having a very bad case of diarrhoea from food poisoning (probably the drinking water), the kind that there's internal bleeding. Off from the airport straight to the clinic.
Trust me when it comes to worst-case-scenario diarrhoea and the ladies' is either fully occupied or just plain there's no seat toilet available, when u have to go, means u REALLY have to go!

>>>pinkjade....yes, that is what I would do all the time.
I mean, come on, if there is a queue and the men's toilet is empty, why the heck not use it!!
But of course, it is a single toilet with a door, lol.
It is, after all, just a toilet!!!

i accidentally went to a ladies toilet during a funeral in a wat in Thailand, there are only Thai writing without the male female sign, when i came out there are two lady queueing at the door looking at me with a strange look, i will smiled to them and said that "Phom KahThuay"....i am a lady boy, they laughed, later in the ceremony i bummed with on of them, managed to get her mobile number and dated her a few times.

I know the feeling.Have done it twice by accident. On one of those times I was seen coming out by a young woman with all kinds of metal stuck in her nose lips ears cheeks and eyebrows. As if she didn't look weird enough, you should have seen the weird look she was giving me.

No, I wouldn't use the opposite genders restrooms. People would think I'm some kind of sick pervert.

Two or three times when they were cleaning the ladies room in a department store. I did have someone watching the door for me.
