This kind of seems like a hate crime

Who do you think is meant to be hated?

Imagine being a transwoman and the only bathroom available is advertised as having a urinal.

Are you not seeing the second image?

While I’m all for inclusiveness, bar bathroom signs really should be clear enough to be understood while drunk.

Yes. Imagine the bathroom without the urinal is in use.

I'm literally shaking just thinking about this.

And how is that different from being a man and the only available bathroom is for a woman? Or needing to change a baby and the one bathroom with a changing station is occupied? These are "hate crimes?" The world does not exist to cater to your every desire at the drop of a hat. Sometimes you gotta wait for a bathroom. If you can't deal with that, you're not prepared to enter society.

You are shaking about an imaginary scenario you made up in your head?

Cant the imaginary person in your head just wait for their preferred bathroom to be available? Like you and I do in real life all the time?

Both bathrooms have toilets, one has a urinal also. You can stop your shaking

The other sign literally says it does not have a urinal?

What would you like to see?

They can't think! Didn't you hear?! They're shaking!!

I think it's safe to assume that the bathroom with the urinal would still have a toilet. Since even if you have the "equipment" to use a urinal, it might not serve your needs at that moment.

I've also never (ever) seen a bathroom with literally just a urinal.

You know that people with penises can pee in regular toilets right?

Also any bathrooms anywhere can be in use, i am a female and if the female bathroom is in use i just wait, like everyone else. Haven't you ever been to an airport or place where there are lines for the bathroom?

I looked at your profile and know you think your trolling now but why would you want people to think your stupid?

I was just thinking the exact same thing!!! I understand it, and the rationale behind it fine sitting here sober, but if it was my first time drinking in that bar and I'd had a few and needed to piss I would be like "so...does that mean there's a subpar urinal in the other one?"

I dunno, if I'm drunk and see a sign that says "no urinal" that's a pretty clear "this is not the bathroom I need" message for me

Yeah, I initially only saw the preview picture (where the bottom sign is cropped out) and thought that was the entire thing.

Lantonas is solid Edgelord/Both Sides/trolly McTrollface content—should come with a “For Entertainment Purposes Only” label…

Nah, this is a good test. If you are too drunk to read this, you are too drunk. Grab a glass of water and take a seat and let the adults handle the signage.

Hula is this way too. Sometimes all the stalls in one are full so you gotta go over to the dark side. Stalls are super private so no big deal but a little awkward. I think it makes more sense at a bar then a workplace

Right, but how awesome is the urinal? I've seen some pretty awesome ones.

and then piss yourself?

If you are too drunk to make sense of these sign, yes, I’d imagine that is a possibility. So uh, how ‘bout a glass of water?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's not in the bar owner's best interest to have people not be able to read signs, sit down, drink water, and them piss themselves all over a bar seat.

As someone with 17 years experience in bars, I can assure you that this owner is very happy with their signs and anyone dumb enough to piss themselves will simply not be welcome back again.

This is from The Backyard restaurant in Stowe, been there, some great food ( tater tots loaded with cheese and rib meat, yum). I can say after setting that great expectation for the urinal, it was rather ordinary looking. You'd expect an artisan handcrafted/welded urinal or something not the cookie cutter porcelain ones like they have XD

Hmm. Disappointing. I've seen raw steel, lacquered copper, one shaped like a flower, and even had a couple with a view (like windows to to the outside over the urinal). I'll check it out next time I'm in the area, anyway.

Yeah craft breweries are good for those! Seen some unique, hand crafted ones before

Ok, but it's getting to the point where I might have to read 3 tiers of signage before knowing where to pee. I'm all for keeping things to a simple graphic or 1-2 words...I imagine that's also easier for folks who don't speak English as their first language. (And drunks.)

The last show I went to had the typical restroom icons indicating M/W/handicap accessibility. Then on top of that they had those cheeky signs for "what to do if you think someone is using the wrong restroom...step 1: acknowledge they have a better understanding of their own gender identity than you do, step 2: mind your own business", then on top of THAT the band playing had strong feelings about gender neutral restrooms, so they had more signs explaining that the M/F icons were temporarily irrelevant. So I'm standing there reading all this, doing my little potty dance, in order to understand why a gaggle of giggling teenage girls is flitting from one restroom to the next.

Who knew bodily functions could require so much direction??

So men’s room and women’s room?

Gendered bathrooms are dumb.

If the men's room is full I'm going to knock, and use the female bathroom, if it's empty.

I agree. But their urinal mints are the bomb!

Both bathrooms have toilets.

Use the other one, but please put the seat down when you're leaving.

It's a shitter. Do you have gendered bathrooms at home?

No, but then, I don't have thirty people drinking beer and playing pool in my home either.

my man has never had a party even one time

Seen an old beer keg cut and plumbed up for a urinal.

I came here for the hate on men.

The best restroom sign I ever saw was one that just had someone standing up and someone sitting down, that’s all it needs to be. Whatever, just wash your hands!

German dudes sit and pee. :)

The world is my urinal.

Does nobody realize that most bathrooms in the state are gender neutral?

That's what's so ironic about the whole thing...like, have you ever peed at home, or at someone else's house? Then congrats, you've used a gender neutral restroom. And it didn't require a novella of explanation.

I remember when UVM changed all their signage for unisex, handicap-accessible restrooms to indicate "gender neutral". Correcting a problem that never existed in the first place...
