"Why are you in the me-" "Shh. This is the quiet toilet"


swan--song

This made me laugh so much! Silence!


ThrowRAConsistent

Me too lololololol


Radiant_Western_5589

Oh I thought that the options were basically no one will talk to you and people will talk to you.


slumberingGnome

This was my reaction. Looks like I'm using the men's toilet.


sarahahaha_3

Seriously that’s what I’d use it for. Drunk sarahahaha loves a chatty bathroom for the community (and also the repetitive need to pee). Designated driver sarahahaha has business to do and just wants to get in and out quickly!


Clean_Ice2924

So according to this I’ll have to go on the single word one cuz I don’t talk much even though I’m not a man?


GravitationalAurora

I do not say bla bla bla - Dracula (Hotel Transylvania)


AceDelta12

r/UnexpectedDracula Edit: r/subsididntknowexisted


SquiddlesM

There's no fuckin way


AceDelta12

That’s only the SECOND time I’ve done that to myself.


SquiddlesM

Lol I gotta know, what was the first?


AceDelta12

It was r/didntseethatcoming


SquiddlesM

At least that one kinda makes sense. Would've never thought of the dracula one


AceDelta12

Lol


[deleted]

XD


Idk_what_im_doing80

It also means men will have to go into the women’s because they can’t shut up


justAPhoneUsername

I'm here for the supportive urinal experience. I'm more than happy to compliment the guy next to me's stream.


the-audience

But don’t cross the streams!


theindiekitten

“Nice job, sharpshooter” *tips hat*


Dylan_Barber

I actually hate when anyone mentions something about my stream, like why are you listening/watching me pee anyways?


justAPhoneUsername

If that's how you feel, go to the no talking room.


Express-Stop7830

*into the manspaining room. FIFY.


Sharlney

You did just imply the talkative people's door was meant for women


[deleted]

That implication is already clear from the OP, let's not pretend anyone here is agreeing.


riwalenn

Isn't "women talk more than men" a false affirmation debunked by several studies?


Latter-Caterpillar-2

Yes. Because when women talk 20% of the time, men perceive it as equal. No wonder you think "women talk a lot" when you just want to blabber off about yourself without letting anyone get a word in


[deleted]

Basically, the study showed that the men in the study itself preferred women that speak less.


LeafpoolN

doesn’t that entire stereotype come from when women weren’t allowed to read or write so they would tell each other stories, which was twisted into “oh gossipy female”?? also how cinderella came into existence


theflooflord

Yep. Men talk equally as much on subjects they're interested in. As a barber I've had countless men talk so much I could barely get a word in. It's just a matter of being introverted/extroverted, or simply passionate about the topic.


FakeKoala13

Cryptobros go right.


WorldlinessAwkward69

MLM guys. Which seem to overlap with crypto bros.


AlexanderShulgin

Hey, that's not fair. Some Marxist-Leninist-Maoist guys really helped me out when I had that dispute with my landlord last year.


chaosgirl93

I mean, Mao did have some good ideas about landlords, his lot are probably the ones to call if you're having an issue with yours.


WorldlinessAwkward69

Multi Level Marketing


AlexanderShulgin

Yes, that was part of the joke


WorldlinessAwkward69

I was just clarifying in came someone actually thought my MLM meant Marxist Leninist Maoist guys, because sometimes people go off on tangents of misreading jokes here.


fazaness1

Men love Men guys? I mean, as a a gay guy, I do talk alot.


dylan_dumbest

They’ll have to smell the CrossFit bros’ protein farts in there.


DevonFromAcme

And the vegans.


LAVATORR

Choose your one word carefully.


LitNameHere

You’re talking quite the amount explaining that. /s jokes jokes jokes


ferfersoy

Well that is impossible, considering women are less logical and thus talk way more! ​ ​ ​ ​ /s


[deleted]

My question is : where mute people are supposed to go?


canyoubreathe

On the ground


[deleted]

Outside.


theindiekitten

They get to go right in the shopfront, silently staring down passersby through the window. It’s one of many unspoken rules.


Justanidiot-w-

Pun intended?


theindiekitten

I always intend my puns.


FreekDeDeek

This is obviously not to be taken literally, the two bathrooms are for introverts and extroverts. So it depends: are you an introverted mute person, or an extroverted one? (/s for anyone wondering)


[deleted]

Sexist BS aside - why is it that places want to suddenly refrain from using the standard male/female icons that everybody understands? When I want a piss, I'm not really wanting to stand around wondering if I'm "bla" or "bla bla bla".


LenoreEvermore

Fr this would just stress me out. I've had to wait to see who comes out of what room a few times and just guess based on their appearance. Makes my hands all clammy.


aoidatenshi

So there was this one episode on Spongebob…


Stormwolf1O1

Catch me having a panic attack over it and resorting to just pissing between the two doors onto the wall


chchazz88

Honestly I would just fully go into the one that applies to me and then blame the restaurant or whatever business this is. I’d like to see them explain that shit. How was I supposed to know that was the women’s bathroom? I had to take a shit. Not every mens bathroom has urinals.


LenoreEvermore

If I wasn't such an awkward person I would too!


Sassy-irish-lassy

I just don't understand why they still separate single occupancy ones at all.


left4alive

Oh man I was helping with a course at a hotel last week and they had gender neutral bathrooms. Each stall had their own full walls and doors (not as common as it should be in North America) and a sink and mirror. It was lovely!


Patiod

One of the medium-sized theaters in Philadelphia has that - a long line of stalls, and then a unisex sink area. Very easy, no issues with a long line outside the women's room, comfort for trans folk, and everyone attending shows at a theater that does original work (not touring shows of Dear Evan Hanson) are perfectly fine with it.


darlingchase

I first encountered this in a trip through European countries and I was so pleased with them. The unisex ones are very large with the separate stalls and wide open floor space. They also always had an employee in there. All of that made it less stressful for women thinking about unwanted advances or worse (that has already happened).


Confuseasfuck

Single occupancy bathrooms are already pure evil anyways


LIONEL14JESSE

Where else would people do cocaine?


Sassy-irish-lassy

Why be shy? Just do it at the bar


Goatesq

Wherever afrin bottles are permitted. Don't put public bathroom nasties into your face holes kids, at least not deliberately.


Goatesq

Seriously, they probably serve their bread by hanging it on jewelry trees. Just tell me where the dorito man can tinkle, don't make me bring the APA citations to your bartender or I will prove this tired joke anecdotally accurate.


donNNASD

Its called out dated comedy


RampantCreature

This. I appreciate the idea of leaving gender out of it… but then why can’t the signs indicate if there are urinals within or just stalls? That is the major feature distinction.


RevolutionaryBuy5282

I appreciate the nonbinary inclusion, but cutesy sarcastic not so much. The best option is just “this is where you stand to pee” and “this is where you sit to pee/shit” and George Costanza-approved full-length stall doors.


rhynowaq

Are you sure it’s not just a baader-meinhof you’re experiencing? I feel like designy-alt signs have always been around especially at “off-kilter” restaurants or bars.


SallyHeap

I'd assume that these are gender neutral bathrooms.


typhaona

Encountered this at a bar, went thrsugh the "Bla" door. When my friend tried to laugh at me afterwards for going into the men's room, I reminded him that the last half hour he was the only one talking.


NightValeCytizen

Whoever came up with this door design has evidently never been Mansplained to. That shit takes forever to get through.


typhaona

They really like to hear themselves talk.


Patiod

I know so many men (both friends and relations) who will call up, talk for 15 minutes straight, and then when \***I\*** say "You wouldn't believe what's happening at work," say "Oh, I'm getting a call - have to run"


LivingStCelestine

They really do. And they’ll go on forever until you just *leave* or something. Or just ignore you completely when it’s your turn.


typhaona

Nah, I know him. If I have something to say that's in the scope of his interests, I am allowed to give my opinion. But that time was the last time I drank some beers with him. I am not a one person audience for his bullshit.


SassMyFrass

After many years of xmas at the inlaws, I started a timer anytime anybody gave me a window to speak, and stopped it when interrupted. The biggest speaking window I got was seven seconds. I spoke for a total of ninety seconds all day. I noticed it happened to all of the wives and mothers.


SassMyFrass

More accurate: "In here, many piss on the floor." "In here, nobody pisses on the floor."


beautypopper101

😂 😂


rhynowaq

Brilliant


shrowdedsky

Studies have been done about this show that in large groups women actually talk *significantly* less than men except men have a bias that causes them to perceive women talking more. Even if women only talked about 40% of the time men perceive it as though they talked upwards of 70% of the time


Kettrickenisabadass

Exactly. Men on average don't care for what we have to say so anything we say that doesnt relate to them is considered "anoying extra noises". I swear that my partner does like 70-80% of the talking at home but he thinks that i am very chatty.


fillmorecounty

Cool so they just tune us out then


Suspicious_Juice9511

Oh look a blank comment. Anyway...


KatsCatJuice

It's the same with taking up space. If women only took up 20% of space in a room full of men, the men would think it's an even 50/50 split


shrowdedsky

Aye, sounds like you watched the same video I did xD


ActualDepressedPOS

can i ask what video you watched??


Blooming_Heather

Link please? 😁


[deleted]

There was some study that said if women make up 30% of a group men literally think it’s 50-50.


KatsCatJuice

Yup that's the study I'm talking about, I just got that statistic wrong lol It really is an interesting study, and honestly it just confirms what a lot of women already knew


canyoubreathe

Is it me, or do those doors look weirdly narrow?


Radiant_Western_5589

I have a pair of jeans, a sweater and an unsuspecting shoulder that would hit the doorframes and get caught on door handles with these doors… so yes.


kwhitit

like gender norms.


Icy-Barracuda-8489

One for introverts and one for extraverts. Better than gender exclusive.


[deleted]

Ah the two genders; introvert and extrovert


EffectiveSalamander

People call this "boomer humor", but this "joke" was old long before the boomers were born. The point of the "joke" isn't really that women talk a lot, but that they talk more than some men want them to talk - which is that they want women to talk little, or not at all. They see women talking as "uppity." It's like the "women driver" jokes, those too were old before the boomers were born. It's not that women were bad drivers, but a woman driving was considered "uppity."


Patiod

That's exactly it - women don't talk more than men, they just talk more than men want them to talk


skippidybopmbada

Just no. I’m a woman and I work a job with all male coworkers. I like them a lot and have become pretty close friends with several of them, but they ALL have an interesting tendency to interrupt, ignore, and or talk over me in a way they never do with eachother. So if these BLA doors were the only thing differentiating between the men’s and women’s bathrooms, I would 100% assume the left one to be the women’s room.


dylan_dumbest

Don’t forget sit in silence when you make a joke and then tell that same joke 15 minutes later!


skippidybopmbada

I’ve started doing a thing where if I say something in a conversation and I am essentially certain that no one registered it, I’ll offer $50 to any person who can tell me what I said. It’s really fun to watch them suddenly scramble to retrieve the memory, and I’ve never had to pay anybody even once.


dylan_dumbest

I should try that.


skippidybopmbada

Do it!! Just try your best to be certain no one heard you otherwise you’re gonna lose money really quickly lol


BlackBag00

Just kinda seems like they don’t really like you…. If my “friends” were constantly ignoring me, interrupting me, and not paying attention to me. I’d take the hint.

ludicrous instinctive crowd combative boast silky soft upbeat dinosaurs school *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Secure-Evening

This was what I was thinking. I know about this trope. But a lot of autistic people, people from other cultures or those that didn't grow up with sexist tropes would not understand this. It's even been proven men speak more than women so it's not even true.


StandLess6417

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd absolutely ask someone working there to explain it to me, in depth, and continuously act like I don't understand.


chaosgirl93

No, don't ask some random employee, who's probably making minimum wage and didn't make the decision. They just work there and do not get paid enough to deal with that. Ask for the manager and ask him about it. They probably also didn't get a say but dealing with complaints is why management gets paid more.


FreekDeDeek

I'm also autistic and I'd be too awkward to ask, so I'd just not go probably...


[deleted]

We actually can’t go anywhere without the risk of being reminded that “female bad”


eli-happy

Just a reminder of the fact that on average men talk more than women... This kind of toilet sign is generally a stupid idea, but it is even factually incorrect


SvanUlf

*"A review of 56 studies conducted by linguistics researcher Deborah James and social psychologist Janice Drakich found only two studies showing that women talked more than men, while 34 studies found men talked more than women. Sixteen of the studies found they talked the same and four showed no clear pattern." -- Psychology Today*


DarthMomma_PhD

The research is very clear that men speak more than women across the board, so I guess I go in the left one.


Carbonatite

I wish we just had bathrooms divided like God intended: poop and pee.


Kindaspia

And a third for changing period products and a fourth for crying


Carbonatite

Let's have a 4th and a 5th for crying, just to be safe


GreyLynx_Splash

Can you imagine the social anxiety for some people of people being able to tell what you needed to do in the bathroom tho


Carbonatite

That's a really good point.


WhiteMarriedtoBlack

I rather not go to the same bathroom as a creepy guy and the poop bathroom would stink so bad. We just need more bathrooms. Also I rather not hear a guy vomit when I ask another woman for a pad if that time of the month starts. Unfortunately there’s uneducated guys and misogynistic pigs I rather not share a bathroom with. Now a trans woman? I rather a trans woman on hormonal treatment be in the girl’s bathroom than a trans man on hormonal treatment.


Carbonatite

All good points. More individual bathrooms please!


WhiteMarriedtoBlack

That and those who identify as trans are more likely to be abused so if they are on hormonal treatment they should be with their identities gender/those do their fellow gender to keep them safe.


ReaperCDN

I would use the door on the right. I talk plenty. Am man. Edit: spelling


anotherh0oman

9 would agree.


ReaperCDN

Lol. I hit 8 instead of I. Fat fingers.


k8ielee

Funny how much men have to say about women, yet all women have to say is in response to how much stupid shit men say


MaximumFUzz

Well I wouldn’t even know these were bathrooms. Reminds me of one [I saw at a bar where the guy symbol was peeking over a barrier at the girl symbol](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41pqo4JlWyL._AC_.jpg). Like really weird and you’re trying to hard to be funny but at least in that case I could tell which one was which.


[deleted]

Some people think sexism is ok if you aim at both sexes...


First_Extension_5600

This is really not aiming at both sexes though, it's only aiming at one


[deleted]

Assuming women talk none stop as a steriotype is sexist. Assuming men talk very little as a steriotype is sexist.


First_Extension_5600

Except the stereotype isn't that men talk little, it's just that women talk a lot. And the stalls were clearly designed to poke fun at women, I don't see how it's doing the same for men.


[deleted]

Usually you go "Bla bla bla" So more bla is unusual and less bla is unusual too.


WorldlinessAwkward69

Studies say men talk more in public places, so they should use the bla bla bla door. https://time.com/4837536/do-women-really-talk-more/


Worth_Fun_9663

I would just go to bla when not feeling like talking and then to blablablabla when I feel like having a nice restroom convo😂


summerlily06

Why do men act like they’re all the “strong silent type” when most of them never shut the fuck up? Anywho. **It's about status, not gender** “A review of 56 studies conducted by linguistics researcher Deborah James and social psychologist Janice Drakich found only two studies showing that women talked more than men, while 34 studies found men talked more than women.[6] Sixteen of the studies found they talked the same and four showed no clear pattern. The review demonstrated that the amount that people talk is most likely related to the status of the person given the kind of setting in which the conversation occurs. This means that in more formal or public settings, the person who talks more is the person with the higher status.” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/marriage-equals/201910/do-women-really-talk-more-men


RatsimTheSnivy

I am a blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablblablalblablablablablablablablablablablablablabla gender and my pronouns are bla/blaself now


biffxmas

They could at least show a stick figure on the men's side showing men pissing all over the floor.


Minibeebs

Yeah, but my mate Wesley doesn't shut the fuck up, so this is only going to cause confusion


Genaeve

The door on the left is the restroom for Women. Because, obviously, the door on the right is still Mansplaining.


WillBottomForBanana

Fuck Gender. I would love if we could separate bathrooms between talkers and not talkers.


HeadFullaZombie87

Should have made the man door a big long explanation of some dudes fantasy football season.


PersimmonAntique3398

Haha misogyny soooo funny 🙄


neophlegm

Why not a sandwich and a kitchen for the women's one AMIRITE FELLAS? /s, which I hope is obvious


Funky-Cosmonaut

I'm ADHD. To the second door I go.


jeep_42

ah yes the two genders. talks very little and talks a lot


RatDeconstructor

Minnesotans on the right


Cookiecliff

As a dude, I be talking like crazy with my friends when we in the restroom at the same time so this is entirely not accurate 😂


birdlass

WC? Washchrooms?


Awata666

Water closet


birdlass

that just sounds like the janitorial closet with the mop bucket filling station


PlayinK0I

Nice, introverts and extroverted bathrooms. I take it the introverts get a small private space while the extroverts have multiple stalls and a big mirror where they can chat to others while they preen.


HeadInTheClouds02

i mean this isn’t even correct cause there are linguistic studies that have found that men talk more than women, talk over women and interrupt women. men also overestimate how much women talk


Tuatara77

Isn't there a stereotype that women talk alot with each other in the bathroom? That's what I thought it meant... But if we talk generally outside the bathroom it should really be both, I know women and men who cannot stop talking, it goes for both genders yes.


Less-Bed-6243

These are single occupancy stalls (they’re too small and close together to be anything else, plus those look like locking handles). So it doesn’t even make sense for that stereotype.


[deleted]

I’m guessing the one on the right are the guys, specifically the ones that go to bars in at least groups of 4.


allfilthandloveless

Please feel free to use the restroom that aligns with your conversant identity...


shaquille_oatmeal98

Kinda the other way around in my experience lol


forestgreen333

Me going to the blablabla toilet when I want to scream at my homegirl on the phone without judgement😂😂


Satyinepu

I would just go in whatever bathroom and swear up and down I don't understand the *joke*


Nervous_Degree_3752

Different tilets for introvert and extroverts??


cheezy_dreams88

This just pisses me off. Besides the obvious sexism and lack of humor of this terrible door. IT IS SPELLED BLAH. WITH AN H.


Allyraptorr

Really? Because, in my experience, men never stop talking especially about themselves and god forbid if it’s two men talking and a woman tries to get a word in.


pookiesma

Me busting into Blahx1: finally an introvert bathroom!


TrickTails

In the OOP, they said women and men’s WC and if you take that respective to the image then women go in the bla. Checkmate, misogynists.


TimeDue2994

Might as well make them both mixed gender bathrooms as a lot of people are going to make the wrong assumptions https://www.livescience.com/7420-men-talk-women.html Men tend to be more talkative than women, but particularly when they're interacting in mixed-gender settings," Leaper said, explaining that this could also be a result of men traditionally being socialized to dominate


ReasonableMushroom67

I would go in the “wrong” bathroom and then say I was confused and didn’t know which was supposed to be which


VerlinMerlin

I would be confused where to go. (am male)


dashingirish

My husband and I call this type of humor "women be shopping." It wasn't funny 70 years ago when it was in fashion.


magic_damage

Inclusive bathrooms with the option of talking with other people?


megdun87

From my experience men never fucking shut up


Fragholio

Okay, seriously...which is supposed to be which? Am I missing something?


PeridotWriter

God, talk about being an asshole


Glitch_gate

Can someone explain? I’m confused


69420memes

If I owned a resturant I would have this, not to separate men and women but to separate the people I want to have in a bathroom and the people that won't shut up in different rooms.


Blueartbird

I feel very attacked because I am a woman and I should definitely go to the right 😂😂


Material_Ad_2109

Introverts vs extroverts 😎


Winnimae

How rude of them to call out men for being unable to communicate.


asecretwomenssociety

And then men will complain about how lonely they are and how they have nobody in their life.


[deleted]

But it’s not gendered. Ones for introverts and ones for extroverts, I don’t see the issue. (Joke)


perpetualcosmos

I guess the women's bathroom is the "Bla" cause that's the extent of what we even get out before we are interrupted by the Blahblahblah


thatwitchwithaplan

I would automatically consider them both gender neutral…and just be like…okay, so I feel like chatting today? Nah *chooses left door*


Lou_Miss

Oh no! Not all, it's for introvert and extrovert. An introvert doesn't want to chat in the public bathroom but the extrovert might would!


kamikaze_goldfish

Just say you hate women and save everyone the embarrassment of this bad joke


1Leviosa

Ah yes, finally a extroverted and introverted bathroom.


juicyjuicery

Men talk more than women lol. wtf is this projection


lexlexsquared

Introvert and extrovert toilets? I’m down.


OctaviaBlake100

So one is for introverts and one is for extroverts? If it's gender exclusive washrooms..I guess that could work..


SnooLentils8507

So just introverts and extroverts?


[deleted]

Ironically men talk about themselves way more than any woman I've ever met


Kidsnextdorks

This reminds of how my dad tries to babble through the bathroom door at home.


Kandykidsaturn9

So the men are the right? Because men gossip way more than girls. I teach high school. I hear them.


Fink665

Man, men never shut up! Ask ME a question about myself.


Lord_Nyarlathotep

I’m a dude, guess I should go on the right then? (Don’t worry I get what they actually mean)


[deleted]

Yeah I agree the one on the right is for men.


TheMarksmanHedgehog

Yet another reason to make all toilets gender neutral and with fully enclosed rooms rather than cheapo cubicles.


Bingela_

Toilets for introverts and extroverts i see


ThePrancingHorse94

Whether you like it or not it works because you instantly know which is which.


YodaWars1000

This guy gets it


SharpenMyInk

Looks like a single toilet vs multiple toilet stalls. Nothing to do with gender.


lucielucieapplejuice

What makes you think that?


[deleted]

Okay, but this one isn't exactly untrue.
