A question about Ladies room etiquette.

[Jara sang]

What really goes on in there? And how does one powder one's nose?(Drug culture references aside)

[WindRavenX]

1. I've never, ever seen *anyone* powder their nose

Putting on lipstick/ other cosmetics? All the effin time.
No powder, though...
Oddly, some chicks can be fucking nasty. As in, they don't flush the toilet.
I mean, COME ON PEOPLE.

[Mutley]

2. Oh yeah... some chicks are really nasty

Yeah. I'll leave it at that.

[Jara sang]

4. That's funny.

The ladies room is always so much cleaner than the men's room. I often use the Ladies room when the men's room is too toxic.

[WindRavenX]

5. not some of the places I've been...

...:scared:

[FuzzySlippers]

22. You what??????!!!!!!

:wow:

[Mutley]

25. It's sort of rare...

but some chicks are nasty. If you only occasionally enter the ladies room, odds are you won't see it.

8. Compared to a men's bathroom - women's bathrooms are pristine.

My poor son is now 9 and too old to let him use the women's b-rooms on road trips. I feel really bad for him.

16. Some women can be such PIGS, can't they?

They don't flush the damn toilet ... they leave the seat wet with urine ... sanitary napkins and/or tampons are not properly disposed of (meaning they either try to flush them, which clogs the toilet, or they put them in the disposal bin without wrapping them in paper and then leave the lid open for all to see) ... toilet paper is everywhere ... they leave the water running ... the sink is soaked and liquid soap is all over the counter top ... IT'S DISGUSTING!!! :mad: :puke:

18. I've powdered my nose in a ladies room many times.

I don't use a powder puff, though. I use a fluffy brush. (Truth be told, most of the time I don't use any powder; I just run the brush over my face to freshen up what's already there.)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. I've seen women powder their noses

But of course, I was a little kid in the 1950s, and my mother still used face powder in those days.

3. I could tell you

but I'd have to kill you.

[Jara sang]

7. At least I'd die a happy man.

With the Yiv as my last earthly vision and I'd also have the 'knowledge'.

[yvr girl]

14. You are so full of sh#@

But come here and give me a massage, and I'll tell you anything you want to know.

[MissB]

6. We hang around in there and gossip about

the men out there.

[Jara sang]

11. Me?

Are you talking about me specifically? I've had my suspicions about that.

[MissB]

13. I hate to break it to you, but

yes.

[GirlinContempt]

9. You uh

take out your powder compact, and dab the little sponge on your nose, which is often the first place to get 'shiny'

[Tsiyu]

10. Ddin't Roseanne do a show about this very subject?

She gave it away:

Inside the ladies' room is an oasis of swarthy people fanning us and peeling grapes and lap dancing.

You get in there and you never want to leave...:7

15. I saw the "News Radio" one

Where they turned the men's room into a Victorian style gentleman's club. Then Andy Dick actually used one of the toilets and they couldn't stand to be in there anymore, I think they even let Lisa be a member. That was a good one.

[Canadian Socialist]

20. You forgot

the big screen tv, the wet bar and the on-call Swedish massage gent, named Sven. OOps, gave away the "big secret". Please don't kill me.

[Maddy McCall]

12. Wee go in, pee, flush, wash our hands, and come out.

That's all.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

17. Some sit on the pot and yap on their cell phones...

my personal favorites.

[Maddy McCall]

19. At least they're doing it in the bathroom instead of at the table.

Nothing bothers me more than being seated near a table of cell phone addicts.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. True, but can you imagine being the person...

on the other end of the call? The addicts are everywhere and they're so damn loud. I was half-tempted to walk up to some woman at the pool this weekend, grab her phone, and chuck it into the pool. It probably would have been met with applause...

[Canadian Socialist]

27. Heee. When I first read your subject head

I thought you meant "peeing at the table". Not cellphoning at the table. btw, I think cell phones have turned this civilization into a hell hole. YMMV. If I hear one more inane conversation as I'm on the bus, I might take out my gun and start taking hostages. Okay, I don't have a gun, but the feeling is still out there.

Sample conversations I've overheard (and I'm sure we mass transit users all have) consist of nothing but, "Hi. I'm on the bus. I'm at X street. I'll be <X> in a few minutes." All said at maximum volume because, well, hello! You're on the bus!/rant

24. When i was a kid National Lampoon did an article called-

"Exclusive: Inside The Ladies Room" it was a fold-out picture and one of the things that made me laugh the most was the "Breast washer/dryer"- ceramic and hanging chest high on the tile wall just like an electric hand dryer!

:rofl:

you can imagine my disappointment when i finally walked into "the Ladies Room" and didn't see one of 'em...

[BiggJawn]

26. They compare notes on who's date has the longest tongue..

..and do they think he knows how to use it...

[NMMNG]

28. We use the toilets, wash our hands

(well, those of us who practice good hygiene wash our hands).

Perhaps we comb/brush our hair. Some women may touch up their makeup.

That's about it.


The "powder my nose" thing is all about when it was considered too delicate to actually say "I need to go to the rest-room". :eyes:
