    I once accompanied a teenager to one of those horse-girl movies. The auditorium was completely full, and apart from two young women who seemed to be doing it ironically, I was the only adult in the theater. During the interval, I noticed how other adults handled it: They accompany the children to the movie theater and then have two hours to enjoy a few drinks.

      So that’s why there is bar seating at Flicks Brewhouse. I could just have a 2nd pint rather than buy another movie ticket

    I don’t get what’s up with this picture. It looks like a normal bathroom to me. Honestly, it’s surprisingly clean for a concert venue bathroom, if there’s something that seems out of the ordinary here.

    Not relly an issue for you in this bathroom based on this pic, butt I absolutely fuckin’ hate urinals without a divider. I went to go take leak, not go to an impromtu sausage party for fucks sake. Gimme some god damn privacy!

    Who shares my sentiment?

      This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.

      As a tall man the dividers are too low, I don’t care if someone sees my dick, but I don’t want to make eye contact.

      I don’t mind, when I go to such a place I’ve got my own business to do and let others do theirs. It’s a simple natural thing I don’t think about much.

      When you’re the only two guys at such an event you stand next to each other and go “nice dick bro”. That’s just common courtesy.

        They still have those in the Chinese school I was teaching in. Spotless, modern, but a trough. A really humbling experience, even after years of nightclub toilets in Ireland.

        Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

        Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

          Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women’s toilets, so she lined up at the men’s urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.

          Wait until you see the urinal in a rural fest made of just a 10m long pipe cut in half. Cheap and highly effective. Bonus point when they have a tablet at eye level to put your drink.

      I don’t care about dividers but I do hate when it’s just once long trough that everybody uses. I’m so glad they stopped using them.

        Last time I went to a concert at an arena (over 10 years ago at this point), I held my piss far too long to avoid the lines/trough… I finally gave in mid-set, and there was still a line. Finally got to the trough, and I dunno if it was because I held it for so long or because I was surrounded by drunk men with their dongs out, but I suddenly had shy bladder syndrome for the first time in my life… Stood their with my dick in my hand for what felt like 10 mins (probably more like 1), but nothing. I had to wait for a stall to open up and then still had like a 30 sec wait before I could actually start pissing. It was awful.

        Fuck piss troughs. We should’ve left that shit behind like 300 years ago.

          Not to brag but I’ve never had an issue pissing in a trough, I don’t care about anyone else’s dick and they don’t care about mine

            Neither do I. It’s got nothing to do with dick size.

            In this case I think it was mostly just because I held it in for way too long. It was like my pelvic floor muscles were just refusing to let go. It was just exacerbated by the rotating cast of men pissing next to me.

      Totally agree, this was my thought too! Literally doesn’t take any extra space, just put dividers between the urinals…

      Went to see a musical recently, and I spent nearly all of the intermission trying to force my bladder to get a move on, because the dividers were so damn small and scores of men lined my peripheral vision. If I walked into this bathroom, I’d leave and hold it.

      I won’t use a urinal unless it’s an emergency and no other options are available. They’re uncomfortable.

      I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like “what do you do if you gotta shit??”. Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.

    My bf and I went to see Dethklok and DragonForce. We both went to the restroom at the same time.

    I walked right the women’s room, went and then joked around with the other women about how we walked right in I left the restroom pushed my way through crowds, saw my partner was still standing in line, went to the bar, got drinks, then hung out until he was done.

    IT WAS SO WEIRD AND AWESOME.

    Also the concert was awesome.

      I remember seeing dragonforce in this small venue quite some time ago, we didn’t really get bands like that where I lived. It was pretty cool as we had a smoke with the drummer during the intermission out front. I only really knew one of their songs as I was a massive guitar hero fan but it was totally worth it just for that.

      Wait until you take in a metal show with a band that has a big following of women.

      There’s going to be lines at both, but there’s also going to be a line of women in the men’s room waiting for stalls.

      That’s the big benefit of urinals; you can cram more of them into the same space. Ngl, if I was a woman and going to shows, I’d carry one of those “porta jane” funnels and use the damn urinals instead of waiting for my bladder to pop

      I (M) saw Sinead O’Connor in the early '90s and almost the entire audience was 13-year-old girls dressed in black who screamed every time Sinead made a weird hand gesture. Still probably the best concert I’ve ever been to - Sinead was a fantastic real singer and her band was tight. RIP and fuck Joe Pesci.

        Funny enough, the biggest Indigo Girls fan I’ve ever met was assigned male at birth (they came out as non-binary several years ago but is still very traditionally masc presenting for reasons).

      Was just thinking, the hardcore show I just went to was the same situation. Dream Theater prob even worse
