At work today I was thinking about the term "unisex bathrooms"

That is a counterintuitive term. "Unisex" means "only one sex", and it is NOT the case that "only one sex" can enter a so-called unisex bathroom.

We must rename them "bisexual bathrooms"

    I get what you're getting at, but what about Universal. Doesn't that mean interchangeable? I guess unisex can be interpreted a couple different ways.

    What? Dictionaries are great at parties, don't you notice the guys that have them out are always surrounded by babes?

    Instead of uni...maybe call it multi-sexual. Multi-sexual roadside facilities...10km's ahead.
    I like the sound of it...or "all-sex" bathrooms....even better :D
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    There's a cool little bar in Venice, CA called The Brig. It has unisex bathrooms, and I've noticed that people like to have sex in there. Which is quite annoying because there are only two bathrooms.. so usually a big line develops while they are going at it. I've seen it happen twice and I don't even go there that much. One could argue that they are doing drugs in there... but due to their smug, satisfied faces.. I'm fairly certain that they're having sex.;):D
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    The only unisex bathroom I use is the one at my home.

    Gas stations gross me out because they always smell like pee.

    Sorry guys, but aim is a good thing.

    Did you post this on the Questionable Content messageboard? My daughter was telling me about someone posting about unisex bathrooms on her board, and I said "Oh my god, somebody just posted about that on the pit"
