Last night, I went to a show at a local brewpub, and they have two bathrooms. They are both single toilets, but they are labeled "Men" and "Women". At one point, the line was very long for the women's (six people down the hall to the restroom), but there was no line for the men's. A man coming out of the men's said, "Use the men's! There's no line!" Given that there were no men behind me waiting, either, I used the men's. Later in the night, when I went back again, I joked with the guys in front of me, asking if I could stand in line for both toilets. They thought that was great, and we chatted about how dumb it is to label single toilets. The door to the men's opened, and a woman walked out at that point, so I wasn't the only one doing it.

This is definitely not the first time I've done this. How about you? Have you used a restroom of the opposite sex, single toilet or otherwise?
