Being partner to someone who has chronic inflammatory bowel disease and frequently needs to use the restroom urgently with little warning, signs like this proper boil my piss. I can totally understand businesses not letting people use their restroom if they have a problem with it getting trashed, or needing to walk through stockroom to get to it, but being nice and pointing out the nearest public restroom costs nothing. Do most people really think that the desperate-looking person hopping from foot to foot and looking pained is purely looking for a chance to crap on their restroom floor?

I took a bus tour of LA & Hollywood, with several stops for people to look around & stretch our legs. The driver was really good about pointing out where the prime public restrooms were (and which ones were a bit suspect). Some cities even have (official or unofficial) restroom guides or Visitor Restroom Programs, e.g. http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/index.aspx?page=462

Wow, we’re so lucky in Australia – our government has even created a website to locate all the public loos across the country!

Some enterprising person should lurk outside selling verses that would fit this request.

You are disgusting.

If your child hasn’t learned to tell you before her needs become urgent, don’t let her eat or drink while you’re out and make her go to the bathroom before you leave. It’s that simple. A kid can go a couple of hours without eating, it’s not the end of the world.

Some roses are red
Most violets are blue
I do have to pee…
So where is the loo?

Was that Iambic? My recollection from school says nay, but it has been some time.

I agree. I work in a museum that’s set in the middle of the park, and we normally get multiple people per day coming in just to use the toilet. I don’t mind, happily point the way, and wish them a nice day on the way out. It doesn’t cost anything more than the air it took to speak, and the public are happy and more likely to either come back after they’ve enjoyed the park, or come in another day. It’s just good customer service.

Plus, I’d much rather they use our toilet than the public ones in the park. They’re just horrific, for various reasons that I’m not going to type here.

Omnivore, I have children, and there have been plenty of times that they’ve asked to go to the bathroom, simply because they want to see what it looks like. They’ve learned that not every place of business has a bathroom, and sometimes you just have to wait. They know that if they really do have to go, I will find them an accessible bathroom as soon as possible.

People in Chicago are generally friendly and awesome. I love Chicago! I totally agree with the you about the douchy-ness of this note though. I would definitely ask to use their bathroom and about other bathrooms in the area, even if I didn’t have to use the bathroom.
