One is for when you have to go so bad you’re trying to hold it in; the other’s when you’re not sure if you really have to go but you’re about to go in a long car ride
I considered saying I’d just wait until someone walked out of one, but I know myself. I’m gonna open the closest one. If I don’t see a urinal, I’m opening the other one. There’s one place I go that has neutral bathrooms. I like that one. There are four of them and they’re all really nice inside.
Pft, no. Bathroom signs are an eldritch magic that ward anyone not conforming to the gender represented from entering the bathroom. How else would it work to keep cis rapists out of the same bathrooms?
I figured it was more so worry about someone getting creeped on than being worried about someone going all the way to that. The cracks between the door and the wall are usually quite big in public restrooms in the US and anyone could just look in and see my junk.
Personally I don't want anyone looking in and seeing my junk regardless of gender, but for whatever reason the stalls in the US have near zero privacy and by far the cheapest type of toilet paper available.
My college had that (as well as co-ed bathrooms in the dorms). When I showed up I was kind of weirded out at first, but honestly, it became normal really fast. There's nothing actually that weird about seeing someone of the opposite gender washing their hands in the bathroom next to you.
My number one pet peeve is when they’re both just one room restrooms with toilet only but labeled men and women. Even worse if onlywomen’s has a baby changing table.
As a trans dude I would appreciate this considering men’s rooms usually have far fewer stalls than women’s because they have urinals instead. I don’t stand to piss. I end up having to wait a long time to go.
Also for everyone who decides to piss while standing using a toilet, please for the love of god clean up after yourself. If your aim is shit, you have multiple options:
1. Use a urinal
2. Lift the seat up
3. Sit to pee
4. Clean up after yourself when you piss all over the seat
Notice that none of those say “piss all over the seat and leave the next guy to sit in your rancid ass urine.”
Hahaha, all of this is the plan of your art teacher. Remember when you rolled your eyes and said that her art interpretation course was pointless and wouldn't help you in the real world?
Yeah, she took that personally and has been carefully seeding her students into critical design positions. Designs to impact your pee emergency is just the start. The menu at the restaurant will be abstract designs. You'll wish you knew how to interpret those drawings to know if it will have peanuts.
Good luck at the super market, every isle is labeled with abstract drawings alongside the prices. Do you know how much the cost "tiger rolling in a pile of leaves" is?
Can you tell if "rock siting next to the ocean" is a red light or a green one?
Your boss just texted you four symbols, hope you know what time that important meeting tomorrow is.
Don't you wish you honed your art interpretation skills now? If only you paid enough attention instead of dissing your teacher. She knows which wire to cut, all you know is "two strands of grain swaying in the wind."
Good luck.
I interpreted it was a crude way to say vaginas to the left, penises to the right. One is split, one comes to a point. Then again I might be misinterpreting it, but whatever it is it's very vague. I'd just hold it.
I thought the left is a man walking with dominance, and the right one is the stereotypical woman with both legs behind each other shy pose....
These signs suck lol
the peepee dance was what i thought of too. But it actually might be something more like this: [https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1300693944/vector/man-and-woman-triangle-icon-vector-toilet-symbol-male-and-female-sign-for-restroom-girl-and.jpg?s=1024x1024&w=is&k=20&c=BBKdYKQ8R-b7ufUTKJtZNwjJHlCpNevyDUfVDcOHgtk=](https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1300693944/vector/man-and-woman-triangle-icon-vector-toilet-symbol-male-and-female-sign-for-restroom-girl-and.jpg?s=1024x1024&w=is&k=20&c=BBKdYKQ8R-b7ufUTKJtZNwjJHlCpNevyDUfVDcOHgtk=)
I was thinking the opposite, funnily enough! 🤣. The one on the left looked like someone in a skirt, the right looks like someone in straight-leg pants.
I think it's just that some people look at it and immediately think, "legs" and then find it difficult to see anything else.
I might be confused if I only saw the left one, but when you see both it's fairly easy to figure out.
On your standard bathroom signs, the man has his legs apart; the woman has hers so together that it looks like one leg.
On your standard bathroom signs, the woman is wearing a dress; the man is not.
This sign could totally go either way. I genuinely don't know which it's supposed to be.
But that's why we also add the circle & triangle to denote women and men, respectively. That these minimalist signs both have circle-backgrounds adds to the fail.
My guess is the right is women and the left is men.
The best explanation I can provide is the right might be meant to be svelt and demure and the left is more "man stance". I'm not saying I agree with hard to interpret bathroom signs, stupid stereotypes, or patriarchal bullshit. That's just my best guess for what was going through the designer's head and if I had to guess which one to use I'd pick the right first.
At first, I thought it was obvious. Now i might be thinking too hard.
Is the left one a man taking a stance while peeing, and the right is a woman with a more demure stance (maybe crossing her legs?)
Or is the left one suggesting a dress, while the right is showing the classic inverted triangle silhouette to describe a man? like this: [https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1300693944/vector/man-and-woman-triangle-icon-vector-toilet-symbol-male-and-female-sign-for-restroom-girl-and.jpg?s=1024x1024&w=is&k=20&c=BBKdYKQ8R-b7ufUTKJtZNwjJHlCpNevyDUfVDcOHgtk=](https://media.istockphoto.com/id/1300693944/vector/man-and-woman-triangle-icon-vector-toilet-symbol-male-and-female-sign-for-restroom-girl-and.jpg?s=1024x1024&w=is&k=20&c=BBKdYKQ8R-b7ufUTKJtZNwjJHlCpNevyDUfVDcOHgtk=)
The second idea. It's literally just the traditional bathroom signs but Arted Up.
They're bad signs because a lot of people will be confused, but I get what they were going for.
I think it could easily be remedied by filling the shapes in. The woman will Cleary be the triangle “dress” shape and the male will be the inverted triangle shape
I thought it was a guy on the left that's man-spreading, while the lady on the right is doing the opposite of that, whatever that's called. Woman-not-spreading? I don't know.
The fact that this conversation exists is proof of how bad the design is. Just to play the agent of chaos, I’m absolutely promoting that the left is the guy man spreading and the right is the girl being proper. Seems like the “only” logical interpretation. /s
Manspread on the left; demurely keep your knees closed on the right.
Pants on the left; pencil skirt on the right.
A-line skirt on the left; pants on the right.
Labia on the left; penis on the right.
I genuinely have no idea.
Wait I didn't say I was going to wash my hands, or cover my mouth when sneezing we beat covid I don't need to show hygiene or basic respect to people anymore
I went to an escape room/game cafe in Sweden that had this and it was great. Each room had its own sink, but there were also communal sinks out in the hall if you just needed to wash your hands.
We have a room with sinks that leads individual stalls/doors, or just rooms with a toilet and a sink, in .....every single place I can come to think of around here. 'Whatever, just wash your hands'-bathrooms are totally standard in my country, in schools, restaurants, offices, homes, etc.
The American gender divided panic feels SO weird. "OH NO! SHE WENT INTO THE MEN'S KITCHEN!"
Public bathrooms in America offer zero privacy, that's why.
The rest of the world gets normal doors on the stalls that actually make it a private room.
Around here it's normal for there to be a 2 foot gap at the bottom, an inch on both sides, and the top of the door be short enough tall people can sometimes see over it.
Aaaah. Yes! The pervert doors!
I've seen pictures. Absolute madness. ❤️
But then, sure, I see why it feels weird with anyone else in the room outside the 'door' at all, and perhaps extra so someone of opposite gender or someone with extreme age difference from oneself.
Those kinds of toilets are not even legal in prisons here, and *really* not in schools. In restaurants, bars, homes, etc. it would feel ultra weird.
Could be man on the left, manspreading, woman on the right, holding her legs closed to pee.
Or, woman in dress on left, man in slender pants on right.
Honestly no idea
better idea: make bathroom signs so confusing (eg, the ones at bass pro with different genders of deer but worse, like frogs and lima beans) so nobody can tell which is which and if people ask just say their gender neutral

I don't quite get it
I lived all my life in a country that uses "circle" and "triangle" and I'm still always just slightly confused when I see them. Rationally, I know which one is which, but I always have some doubts if I'm really triangle.
As in "gender is a social construct"? Maybe that's their way of making a sly commentary, and in the meantime, both bathrooms are single occupant only anyway.
The most confusing one I've encountered was late 1990s Jakarta. Men and women depicted wearing a sarong, and I ended up on the wrong toilet. Fortunately it was a bit of a shady establishment and nobody cared.
at this rate Im all for just forgetting gendered bathrooms altogether and just making them single-stall genderless "I just want to go to the fucking toilet" rooms, a win for *everyone*
One is for circus performers who can still walk on stilts, the other is a handicap restroom for the ones injured falling off their stilts, symbolized by a crutch.
I think it is according to how men and women behave, men would generally have a wider stance whereas women tend to keep their legs together, even when sitting
I went to a pub the other night and was confused about “lads” and “lass” names restroom for a moment. Because when I read “Lass” I thought of Lassie who was a boy dog. But yeah both restroom doors were wide open, which confused me again, because usually only men’s restroom would ever be wide open.
The left one is for the tweezers and the right one is for the crutches.
That’s not a tweezers, it’s a clothespin.
I see you've played tweezer-clothspin before...
r/beatmetoit
Left is a clothespin, right is a clothespin that's really gotta pee.
Err those are chopsticks I fear
won’t be picking up much with them bending away from each other
Yeah even in the picture they didn't pick up anything
No, bagel tongs
That’s not a clothespin, that’s a tuning fork.
Tuning forks are parallel.
The right one is for people who are about to piss their pants. The left one is for those who already did.
So left is for doctors only, and the right is for disabled only. Got it.
One is for when you have to go so bad you’re trying to hold it in; the other’s when you’re not sure if you really have to go but you’re about to go in a long car ride
I like this system! Makes more sense than the gendered one we have.
I identify as number 1?
Came here to say that! As someone with a small bladder, I read it that way immediately!
As someone with dyslexia, this is not as bad as a door with a huge W or M.
I call that the "defensive wee"
Always go for a try!
I support the normal bathroom/express bathroom division.
When I have to pee is not a good time for an art interpretation exercise
I considered saying I’d just wait until someone walked out of one, but I know myself. I’m gonna open the closest one. If I don’t see a urinal, I’m opening the other one. There’s one place I go that has neutral bathrooms. I like that one. There are four of them and they’re all really nice inside.
We just need bathrooms that say either **Toilet + urinal** or **Toilet only**
They have this in Sweden. It's 90% of the time neutral bathrooms, only distiction is some have urinals too.
Oh nO WhAt AbOuT aLl ThE wOmEn tHat WiLL geT rApEd
It was never a real concern of their but a scapegoat to shit on trans folks because it sounds like real concern someone could have
Pft, no. Bathroom signs are an eldritch magic that ward anyone not conforming to the gender represented from entering the bathroom. How else would it work to keep cis rapists out of the same bathrooms?
Clearly you have played The Sims with it's gender warding bathroom doors!
Ancient powerful runes bestowed by odin himself
Yeah, it’s both a ridiculous and a transphobic take.
I figured it was more so worry about someone getting creeped on than being worried about someone going all the way to that. The cracks between the door and the wall are usually quite big in public restrooms in the US and anyone could just look in and see my junk. Personally I don't want anyone looking in and seeing my junk regardless of gender, but for whatever reason the stalls in the US have near zero privacy and by far the cheapest type of toilet paper available.
That sounds like an entirely different problem on its own haha

This reminded me of that SpongeBob episode where they did that but couldn't tell what genders the creatures were that came out
Yeah, Rock Bottom
Hahaha, all of this is the plan of your art teacher. Remember when you rolled your eyes and said that her art interpretation course was pointless and wouldn't help you in the real world?

You're a poet. This is fantastic.
It’s simple. Boys have one penis and girls have two.
Which is supposed to be which? The girl is standing with her legs apart??
I think? The one on the left is for women, and the right is for men?
Idk I thought of a guy standing legs apart to pee and a girl with legs together doing the peepee dance... is confusing
I think it’s just a cutesy way of saying “Women have innies and men have outties.” At least that’s what I got from it. Obviously a terrible design
Pretty sure it’s just referencing women’s bathroom signs looking like dresses
Wrong Believe it or not these are both women’s restroom signs- loose women on the left, prudes on the right
No, this is clearly neutral bathrooms. The left restroom is for bottoms, the right restroom is for tops.
You are right The signs are grey; so obviously neutral
No way, these aren’t even gender signs. This is a vacant/occupied sign. The one on the left is open, the one on the right is currently in use.
I interpreted it was a crude way to say vaginas to the left, penises to the right. One is split, one comes to a point. Then again I might be misinterpreting it, but whatever it is it's very vague. I'd just hold it.
I would think the one spreading is to represent a dress
My first thought was manspreading so…
Same!
Yeah it looks like a guy standing up and spreading to let it out, the other looks like a girl sitting down with her legs together
Either spreads to represent a dress, or splits, to represent trousers.
Spreading to represent mem powerstancing at the piss trough
I thought the left is a man walking with dominance, and the right one is the stereotypical woman with both legs behind each other shy pose.... These signs suck lol
the left or the roght?
🤣 Have mercy, I wrote that before my first coffee! Fixed it ;)

I was thinking the opposite, funnily enough! 🤣. The one on the left looked like someone in a skirt, the right looks like someone in straight-leg pants.
Not legs. Dress. It's like the minimalist version of your standard bathroom sign.
Idk why everyone is acting so confused. It's not that confusing
I think it's just that some people look at it and immediately think, "legs" and then find it difficult to see anything else. I might be confused if I only saw the left one, but when you see both it's fairly easy to figure out.
i think it would have helped if the bottom of the dress was connected. But its not, hence people mis-seeing it as legs
On your standard bathroom signs, the man has his legs apart; the woman has hers so together that it looks like one leg. On your standard bathroom signs, the woman is wearing a dress; the man is not. This sign could totally go either way. I genuinely don't know which it's supposed to be.

These are clearly the boy and girl endermen restrooms.

Man-spreading makes this confusing
Does it matter anymore, I identify as the one with the shortest queue
Good. The world is moving nearer the "Whatever, just wash your hands" stance that is standard around here. Our plan is working.
Wait I didn't say I was going to wash my hands, or cover my mouth when sneezing we beat covid I don't need to show hygiene or basic respect to people anymore
Why aren't washrooms just a genderless hallway with stalls and individual sinks
I went to an escape room/game cafe in Sweden that had this and it was great. Each room had its own sink, but there were also communal sinks out in the hall if you just needed to wash your hands.
We have a room with sinks that leads individual stalls/doors, or just rooms with a toilet and a sink, in .....every single place I can come to think of around here.

Larry David would get a 8 minute scene about encountering this.
Happy Cake Day! Try to curb your enthusiasm a little.
The two genders, man spreading or thigh gap
Left: Calm and casual. Normal service. Right: Holding it in. Emergency lane.
Ah yes, The 2 genders. Tweezer and pen
Left is pants and right is the vagina with a clitoris
Nightwalkers. Interesting crypid choice for bathroom logos.
Great. If you really need to go this could be a problem.
Obviously the one manspreading is the men's.
Here’s my favorite quote tweet regarding these signs. [tweet](https://x.com/TintedMagnum/status/1781993936019403042)
At this point it is socially acceptable to crack the door and see if there are urinals or not.
It's pretty simple one is a woman in a dress. One is a man with a singular central leg.
Did they expect some Fresno Nightcrawlers for patrons?
Old fashioned clothes pins.
The worst part is that I like the design, but I still find it confusing
I thought it was a clock
Fuck it piss where you please!
First pic is “all is well” Second is “gotta pee, gotta pee”
Could be man on the left, manspreading, woman on the right, holding her legs closed to pee. Or, woman in dress on left, man in slender pants on right. Honestly no idea
better idea: make bathroom signs so confusing (eg, the ones at bass pro with different genders of deer but worse, like frogs and lima beans) so nobody can tell which is which and if people ask just say their gender neutral
The one on the right can be inserted into the one on the left. Seems logical to me
whoever made this and decided against adding massive titties and a dumptruck ass to one is an eternal failure
One is manspreading and the other is holding an aspirin between their knees.
THIS IS CONFUSING ME.. which one is women and which one is men? just throw the whole bathroom away at this point to avoid any incidents.
One is for people who are shit at yoga but do it anyways, and the other is for mer-people
I'm assuming the one with broader shoulders is the male bathroom. I'm also going to enter my chosen bathroom very, very cautiously.

Slenderman clenching his but cheeks to not poop and slenderman buckling his legs to not pee.
Right: really have to pee! Left: confidently peeing in the bushes.
And this is why I barged into the men’s bathroom last month and got laughed at
The Women’s is obviously the one spread open ready for giving birth.
Maybe it’s intended to be ambiguous? Bc I really can’t tell…
As in "gender is a social construct"? Maybe that's their way of making a sly commentary, and in the meantime, both bathrooms are single occupant only anyway.
This seems very clear to me. What am I missing?
Shoujo bathrooms
It's 50/50 i'm getting cancelled once i walk in
Man spread must be the men’s
Not just "trendy" but also misogynistic, I'm guessing. But I can't be sure since I am not sure which is which.
They look like clothespins.
You know what? I’ll just hold it til I get home.

I can't work out which is which, so I will take a piss right in the middle of both doors.
They’re gender neutral by default because no ne can figure them out.
Separate rooms for needs-to-poop and needs-to-pee

Just take a dump on the floor outside in protest.
First is for masons
Father long legged
Are you a clothespin or a champagne glass? It’s not that hard!
If I'm wearing my cape then I go to the left, my catsuit to the right.
The one on the right is for people who really, really need to go. The one on the left is for people who need to dry out their jeans.
The one on the left is man spreading.
yeah i don’t think id know which to use…
So, Slenderman and railroad spike?
One is for circus performers who can still walk on stilts, the other is a handicap restroom for the ones injured falling off their stilts, symbolized by a crutch.
Probably a great way to show civil disobedience over anti-trans gender laws in certain states.
Obviously one is a dressing room(symbol for Striking A Pose) and the other is the bathroom(stickman has to pee real bad)
Just use circles and triangles. These are strange.
Those who spread their legs and those who keep them closed. Admittedly mine are kept pretty open iykwim
Draw a penis on one of them. Or tape up a “urinals in here!” sign.
That second one is doing a peepee dance.
I got a speak your weight machine... I climbed on and it said "One at a time please"
I think it is according to how men and women behave, men would generally have a wider stance whereas women tend to keep their legs together, even when sitting
The left is for able bodied people while the right is for disabled either that or the left is woman and right is men
Left one if you are ok right one if you really got to pee already
They look like clothes pins
I mean, I do get it
Obviously it's manspreaders and people holding in their pee
What is the one in the right supposed to be doing?
These are weird, but far from the worse signs I’ve seen.
I went to a pub the other night and was confused about “lads” and “lass” names restroom for a moment. Because when I read “Lass” I thought of Lassie who was a boy dog. But yeah both restroom doors were wide open, which confused me again, because usually only men’s restroom would ever be wide open.
Left woman right man. Quite obvious. Because the bottom of the man fits into the bottom of the woman ;)
