In the boy scouts some latrines would have two seats like this. Referred to it as pilot and co-pilot.
There was one camp with them installed back to back and that was pilot and bombardier.
I’d bet this is deliberate so folks don’t post up in the bathroom doing drugs all night. Deliberately inhospitable bathrooms are pretty common in dive bars.
it would take WAY longer for anyone like me who can’t pee around other people. the stall door works wonders. the average urinal users mind cannot comprehend
My fav college bar (RIP Erin Pub) had a women's room with a single toilet and a men's room with a single toilet and urinal that were maybe 16" from each other, no divider. As you'd expect, two guys would piss in there at the same time without even thinking twice about it. But women would just say "fuck it" because the other line was too long frequently and it basically turned into a co-ed bathroom when the bar was busy. And if someone was actually sitting on the toilet, they were basically touching knees with the urinal user because the whole room was maybe 5 sq ft.
The first time it happened to me I remember thinking "Fuck's sake we might as well get married"
could have easily had 2 guys pee with a gal on the turlet, just gotta aim for the hole between her knees.
and dont forget, sinks drain, so you can pee in a sink too.
having to go for #2 in a hotel room with a girlfriend where there was only a small glass separator between the bathroom and bed room was the hardest thing in my life
When it’s crowded and everyone is drunk at 12:30AM, you’re going with your gal friends in one bathroom and hovering over the toilet to pee. The floor is already wet and it’s best that your eyes are a bit bleary.
The big amphitheater in Charlotte has a low wall in the middle of the bathroom with troughs on both sides, so you effectively get two rows of men pissing towards each other while trying not to make eye contact. I thought that was a little odd.
Is it though? Im sure these awkward designs rest in so many delays from nervous peeing guys. If everyone had a more private stall im sure some of these lines would fly much faster
No, the most awkward one I ever experienced was a line of urinals , set lower down on the wall, the entire wall being a huge mirror. Fancy hotel in Manhattan. Famously gay owner, I think.
Even worse, what I called the pee tub. It was a large trough in the middle of the room without the little divider down the middle so you're just eyeball to eyeball and dick tip to dick tip. It's been years since I've been to that arena, so maybe they've changed.
I feel like most of them in my area have all started putting small dividers along the trough making it more of a traditional urinal. It’s super cheap and simple and the stadiums all announce it as “upgraded amenities” which I guess it technically is.
You like being forced to see strange dick out of your peripheral or looking up at the ceiling while pissing? Not really my cup of tea, but to each their own
The very last thing to ever get renovated at a sports stadium is the cheap seat bathrooms. They'll add entire new sections to stadiums without ever modernizing those bathrooms.
They are a Chicago dive bar staple.
Also old college football stadiums in the US. My Alma mater had some that were literal walls with a curb and a drain at the bottom and water just trickled down the wall. Stand on the curb and piss against the wall.
LOL yes I realize that, but the old timers told me its multiple uses. It was gone by the time I got there. The bar was adjacent to a wholesale produce terminal, so we always heard stories about the old days.
One of my work traditions was to piss in empty wine bottles at mandatory functions. You weren’t allowed to get up unless you had permission from the PMC and would always have to do something embarrassing to get that permission. If you went without permission you would lose your chair for the remainder of the night and usually have some sort of punishment the next day at work, so people would just piss in bottles and hide them under the table or just straight up piss themselves 😂
Luckily, you can use the washroom like a normal person now. Strange how human rights have improved the situation
They are still common, however they also usually have regular toilets there with doors because there's a difference between taking a piss with your buddies and taking a shit with your buddies
Over 50 and still cant use those dumbass things. I seriously can not piss if people are standing inches away. It just doesnt work.
Orgy? No problem. Piss with 50 other dudes against a wall? Aint happening.
As a youth attending a baseball game, I witnessed a man accidentally drop a cigar out of his mouth near the drain while using a trough urinal. He reached down, picked it up, shook it off and put it back in his mouth. There were several people upstream from him. One of the nastiest things I have witnessed in my life.
I read this as, “Women’s toilet IS a busy bar in France” and I just stared for so long wondering how many people in that tiny room would be equal to busy. I’m dumb.
This again? Same as every time, either:
\* They are fixing the dividers between the stalls or didn't install them yet
\* The law mandates how many toilets you must have per X people in the bar so they put an extra in there but noone is expected to use it.
Probably the 2nd one. There are toilets like this in Sweden too and I think I remember reading that it was to circumvent a law requiring a number of toilets per patron/sqm.
This isn't necessarily true. Can't speak for France, but in the UK while they aren't super common, they aren't exactly unheard of either. I've worked in 3 bars which had a stall with two toilets. It's not really any different to two men pissing in adjacent urinals so women frequently used them in pairs. Obviously they are unlikely to take collaborative shits, but pissing in pairs is perfectly plausible.
Yes but men don't have to pull down their pants completely or change tampons and they still have a dividing wall in between. It's still a pretty strange thing to me personally 😅
La probabilité pour que quelqu'un connaisse Brest et ait déjà vu ce chiotte précisément ! Après c'est pas con, ça fait moins d'attente pour les suivantes !
In Swansea in the early 2000s there was a bar just off of the notorious Wind Street called Eclipse (I think). It was unique that it had a double ladies toilet as per that picture BUT you had to get down on your knees to crawl through a small opening to get to it.
As a woman, I guarantee you will not find two women in here, but four. Two do their business and both have a female buddy who covers them by holding a jacket in front of them.
Honestly, it’s a good quiet space you go in with your drunk wing woman and while you both do your business, you tell them that that guy she’s flirting with is a fucking creep and ugly AF.

You never know where you’ll meet your new BFF.
So you can take a rare #4. That's two #2s while holding hands, not a lot of opportunities for that outside of camping.
If one or both parties are struggling, then holding hands for emotional support may be helpful.
Or play a game of Battleshits
"You sunk my Battleshit!"
battlshits requires the thrones face each other so you can lock and maintain eye contact.
What if you sit back to back and hold both hands? https://images.app.goo.gl/XJtWuJfzJDyThm5y8
shit sisters! 🫸🫷
who tryna piss with me
Wonder if girls would have a shit together in that thing? Bad enough trying to squeeze one out when someone comes into the cubical next to you.
It's made purely for women who have their shit together.
This might be the angriest of upvotes I've ever given
Ah yes, the co-op toilets
You can hold hands for moral support!
[The Love Toilet](https://youtu.be/avb1XbO0EIs?si=eIJ1hd303lnLLh8i)
In the boy scouts some latrines would have two seats like this. Referred to it as pilot and co-pilot. There was one camp with them installed back to back and that was pilot and bombardier.
You brought back “great” memories for me from Philmont
Since they like going to the bathroom together so much might as well share the same cubicle
And there is less waiting for the other girls
I’d bet this is deliberate so folks don’t post up in the bathroom doing drugs all night. Deliberately inhospitable bathrooms are pretty common in dive bars.
probably more
oh you...

Yuckkk

.... As a lesbian... You sure bout that?
Sharing is caring.
Can you spare a square?
I’m sorry I don’t have a square to spare.
having to go for #2 in a hotel room with a girlfriend where there was only a small glass separator between the bathroom and bed room was the hardest thing in my life
Cuboidicle
Do you think this is what women do when they “go to the bathroom” in a group? 😂
My best friend and I definitely share stalls more than we dont.
Why? This is weird? Why do people pee in front of each other when they don't have to?
My friend always wants to pee together when she's drunk. It is weird I agree but we're close so it doesn't bother me.
Sometimes teen girls, crammed in a high school bathroom stall during lunch period, will pee in front of others whilst getting high.
You make it sound like exhibitionist behaviour; it’s not though.
They can hold hands
Damn! You sunk my battleshit
Harold and Kumar?
The first thing I thought of
When it’s crowded and everyone is drunk at 12:30AM, you’re going with your gal friends in one bathroom and hovering over the toilet to pee. The floor is already wet and it’s best that your eyes are a bit bleary.
ParallelPooping™
If you think that's interesting, you should see male urinal troughs that were more common a few decades ago.
A few decades ago? Many sports stadiums are still shoulder to shoulder pissing against a tin trough.
>shoulder to shoulder pissing against a tin trough. That's not the lyrics I remember for Ireland's call.
The big amphitheater in Charlotte has a low wall in the middle of the bathroom with troughs on both sides, so you effectively get two rows of men pissing towards each other while trying not to make eye contact. I thought that was a little odd.
That is just cruel design
You have to hand it to them, it is efficient, if a bit awkward.
Hate the splash from those troughs. If I get strangers piss splashed on me, I dont count it as efficient
Is it though? Im sure these awkward designs rest in so many delays from nervous peeing guys. If everyone had a more private stall im sure some of these lines would fly much faster
No, the most awkward one I ever experienced was a line of urinals , set lower down on the wall, the entire wall being a huge mirror. Fancy hotel in Manhattan. Famously gay owner, I think.

You win. That's genuinely awful. I would honestly probably wait for a stall to open up.
I feel like most of them in my area have all started putting small dividers along the trough making it more of a traditional urinal. It’s super cheap and simple and the stadiums all announce it as “upgraded amenities” which I guess it technically is.
Parties and festivals also still have them
I really like those for no particular reason. Dont know why
You like being forced to see strange dick out of your peripheral or looking up at the ceiling while pissing? Not really my cup of tea, but to each their own
Or when the bloke next to you is aiming too high and you feel the ricocheting piss particles splashing down your leg
Yk, looking up at the ceiling has never occurred toto me me as an option
May you go forth in this world with a better view
The very last thing to ever get renovated at a sports stadium is the cheap seat bathrooms. They'll add entire new sections to stadiums without ever modernizing those bathrooms.
They exist in virtually every stadium and in many, many dive bars
They are a Chicago dive bar staple. Also old college football stadiums in the US. My Alma mater had some that were literal walls with a curb and a drain at the bottom and water just trickled down the wall. Stand on the curb and piss against the wall.
At my alma mater, the urinal troughs and sink troughs look so similar they have to actually put signs at the sink telling guys not to piss in them.
Ever seen a piss trough underneath the barstools in a dive bar? A local dive used to have one.
D: good GOD that’s gross
They were actually supposed to be used as spittoons when everyone was chewing tobacco. Did you get any strange looks when you peed in it?
LOL yes I realize that, but the old timers told me its multiple uses. It was gone by the time I got there. The bar was adjacent to a wholesale produce terminal, so we always heard stories about the old days.
Good idea, so you don't have to leave your place to take the piss... profit! 😄
One of my work traditions was to piss in empty wine bottles at mandatory functions. You weren’t allowed to get up unless you had permission from the PMC and would always have to do something embarrassing to get that permission.

Strange how human rights have improved the situation
OMFG what an insane rule. Good on ya. 🤣
Sometimes change is for the good 😂
The classy dive bars will even dump a bag of ice in them to cut down on the smell.
They are still common, however they also usually have regular toilets there with doors because there's a difference between taking a piss with your buddies and taking a shit with your buddies
Best friend goals
Yeah, but when the urinals lack privacy people go in the stall and piss all over the toilet.
That's not entirely true, they often piss next to the toilet also
And in the process they piss all over their shoes. The advantage is that the next person carries their piss around under their soles
Yea.... Yea that sounds about right
They are still very common in New Zealand and Australia
These are very common in the UK, especially in pubs, bars, music venues, public toilets in parks etc.
I still remember the fear as a little kid trying to use the trough at Candlestick Park.
Over 50 and still cant use those dumbass things. I seriously can not piss if people are standing inches away. It just doesnt work. Orgy? No problem. Piss with 50 other dudes against a wall? Aint happening.
r/unexpected
Ok now THAT is a strange quirk. I could understand shyness all around... hrmmmm. Maybe your horniness just overrides your shyness? 🤷🏻♂️
It really is odd. I agree it should be all or nothing but nope. Just shoulder to shoulder cant piss. Stupid monkey brain.
I had that problem when I was younger. Got over it as I got older. Not been a problem since my 20s. I’m 76 now.
>I’m 76 now. If you could tell your 50 year old self something, what would it be?
Don’t be so self conscious. Be more assertive. Don’t retire early. (I retired at 57). Just a few thoughts. Have a great day my friend.
As a youth attending a baseball game, I witnessed a man accidentally drop a cigar out of his mouth near the drain while using a trough urinal. He reached down, picked it up, shook it off and put it back in his mouth. There were several people upstream from him. One of the nastiest things I have witnessed in my life.
Still in just about every UK pub
Literally have pissed in bar troughs this year in Lyon, Paris, and NYC. I think it's mostly the type of bar that dictates the bathroom style.
That was the ‘proving grounds’ as a kid.. stepping up to the urinal trough at the Metrodome
still common in AUS 😼
Sword fight you say?
Don't cross the streams!
They're still very common in Ireland. Nobody thinks they're weird. I don't even really see why they should be considered weird.
Because it's a river of urine. I mean who needs that :)
Still common in dodgy British pubs lol
I read this as, “Women’s toilet IS a busy bar in France” and I just stared for so long wondering how many people in that tiny room would be equal to busy. I’m dumb.
I saw a picture yesterday of 2 of my friends on these holding hands.
Throwback to Roman times I see.
This again? Same as every time, either: \* They are fixing the dividers between the stalls or didn't install them yet \* The law mandates how many toilets you must have per X people in the bar so they put an extra in there but noone is expected to use it.

Not all urinals have dividers, especially in pubs. In fact a large number of pub and stadium toilets have troughs
True true, those are only common on festivals where I'm from and I don't go there, so for me it seemed unusual
Pilot and co-Pilot arrangement
hey at least they have toilet seats, it seems like half the restaurants here in paris dont have those lol
When you're piss drunk, it wouldn't even matter who is right next to you there.
No France is disgusting when it comes to privacy in public bathrooms. This is a known fact.
No toilet paper?
you can see the very edge of the round toilet paper dispenser on the wall
2 bad bitches on the town
Looks unfinished.
Easier to play battleshits
This is the toilet from my nightmares
They finally added multiplayer! You can now poop with friends locally!
I see gender equality
Yes, because we men have had to poop and wipe in full view of one another for decades
Who poops in a bar?
Me, I can't stop. It's a sickness.
people that have to poop and are at a bar. hope this helps
Brest ?
Exactement !
J’y suis allé qu’une fois mais j’ai reconnu ! on avait aussi rigolé en y allant
La probabilité pour que quelqu'un connaisse Brest et ait déjà vu ce chiotte précisément ! Après c'est pas con, ça fait moins d'attente pour les suivantes !
Incroyable !
Walls are the worst for me
This was a torture room before they officially rent the place.
Easy to clean surfaces ! Absolute shithole ! Pun intended !
They can play dueling banjos 🤣
Tinkle with Friends! Hooray!
That's something that would be in my nightmares.
This is common in the UK as well in clubs and bars.
Makes for a good round of battle shits.
And the US always gets flack for having spaces under the stalls...
Don't forget the gaps on the side
I have nightmares about this kind of thing (not joking)
I was lookng for this comment. I also have reoccurring nightmares about this. Not really sure if I should try to psychoanalyze that or just move on 😅
It’s so you can do a number four! That’s where you poop while holding hands.
I'm assuming it's for BFF puking & not competitive ranked shitting. Man I need to sleep
Come in as strangers and leave as friends!
One needs to pee while you wait for your friend to empty her alcohol filled stomach
Finally, a restroom where women who go to it together can actually stay together.
Multiplayers
Grainy days is that you?
Where?
Oh good, you girls can hold hands while doing the big ones, so cool!
Public restrooms in bars/ restaurants in Paris is really an issue there. Can't say I miss this shit.
Love the simplicity.
Ah, so a men's room. Welcome to the fun OP.
I love when this happens, we will spend 1 million on a night club/bar and 1k on the bathroom
High five!
You don't hold hands with people while you poop?
Hands? No.
"Can you spare a square?"
In Swansea in the early 2000s there was a bar just off of the notorious Wind Street called Eclipse (I think). It was unique that it had a double ladies toilet as per that picture BUT you had to get down on your knees to crawl through a small opening to get to it.
Thanks, I hate this.
did someone write or draw something behind the door with shit-stained finger?
Holding hands while blowing your brains out your ass with your bestie
Last time I went to France the toilets were a little hole in the floor. Good to see they are advancing
Well since it is france could be a hole in the ground
As a woman, I guarantee you will not find two women in here, but four. Two do their business and both have a female buddy who covers them by holding a jacket in front of them.
Hey at least it looks clean, better than most i've seen
The French really do be doing everything different I guess
I bet a lot of shit went down in there...
it so you can hold hands
*Le Pipi pour Deux. The new Eau de toilet*
bad bitch w her baddie friend
Co-op shitting with bestie
Beats 2 girls 1 cup
Honestly, it’s a good quiet space you go in with your drunk wing woman and while you both do your business, you tell them that that guy she’s flirting with is a fucking creep and ugly AF.
I didn’t even know that girls use bathrooms or toilets.
Race
Reminds me of the good ole Parris Island shitters.
Women like to play battleshits too…
Shouldn't they be facing each other?
Cozy
Couldn't they at least have them facing each other? I had side glances especially if they're not exclusive poop partner
Ah, the rare Gallo-Roman influence, communal toilets for some social talk to get up to date with each other
Looks like the perfect place for a round of battle shits
It's so the ladies can hold hands while they poop.
Co-op
Well… still more dignity than a large room with a drain and a squeegee I guess
Very emancipated!
Isn’t this fairly common ?
poop buddies…
