OP’ was actually meant to take a left, but instead got lost in the back corridors of the local zoo. Regardless of the which door they chose, it ended with a senior first aid officer and a school group being traumatised.
Honey this is an Applebee’s, shit wherever you want.
Especially in the microwave. Adds flavor.
It’s not the right answer, but all the same, my head said:
Queen bees and Dodo birds
… - I think that checks out.

Birds eat worms, so it’s down to sexual preference.
Birds also poop out the seeds they eat that helps spread them, while bees rub themselves all over the flower, covering themselves with pollen before moving on to the next flower.
Not sure that helps answer the question, though.
Oh, so I’m def a bee… I don’t know what that means for these signs tho.
Why not just make every bathroom a one occupant room? Just because someone has the same genitals as me doesn’t mean I want them to hear me fart.
Because men piss on the seat, and women get pissy about piss on the seat.
There’s a reason the seats are liftable. It’s to lift before you piss and if you pissed on the rim, then just use the nearby faucet to wash it down, then drop the seat back down when leaving.
The problem is not men, but people who don’t think of the next person using the thingy.I was in a hostel for multiple years and I used to was the toilet before and after the deed.
You should still have the standing to piss area elsewhere
Women also piss on the seat, some squat over the seat to avoid touching it.
I went to a restaurant this week where the washroom was just one big room with full door stalls and a full door room the size of two stalls with a few urinals in it. No fear of pissing on the seat of you use a urinal. Also, just lift the seat?
You’re preaching to the chior. Try convincing the rest of the men in the world that they also can.
It’s cute that you think women’s bathrooms aren’t an absolute train wreck.
Tell that to the women I work with that had us roll back the 12x gender neutral toilet stalls into 5x men + 5x female + 2x genger neutral. Top complaint was “using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting”. The second highest complaint was that it smells like someone poo’d in the toilet… which is a strange complaint for a toilet.
Would they rather the poop be out of the toilet? I am so confused lol
Although I do agree. Using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting. Also, using a stall after anyone who is not a man has used it is disgusting. (But only if they don’t keep it clean)
LOL, I worked on a construction site. The men sat for their business or used the funnel on the wall, the women hovered and wet the seat
I once was in the restroom when my (then) boss (plus later doctor father) came to the toilet and farted as loudly as humanly possible. It was very satisfying. Happy that guy is not my boss anymore, he thought his scientific staff are his personal slaves.
What is a doctor father?
The professor you write your PhD thesis at/with/for. Isn’t that a common word in English?
I have never written a PhD thesis, so I might not be the best representative, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the phrase.
Ditto for me on both counts. I was trying to figure out if he was your wifes dad who is also your MD or what. So doctor father is more like drag mother.
Neither unless your a bee or a bird.
If you carry and deposit pollen - use the Bees, if you are laying eggs - use the Birds, else use the floor.
But bees are almost only females
Yeah, males are the drones.
To be honest, the gender binary makes even less sense for bees (as well as wasps, ants, hornets, termites, and other hive insects) than it does for humans.
Hive insects have three sexes: queens (analogous to females), drones (analogous to males), and workers (which could be analogous to intersex people, but it doesn’t really translate into human biology).
Well if no queen is there one of the workers will transform into a queen.
I am shocked how few people know Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings? Bees (females) going flower to flower, pollinating.
I hope those are single user bathrooms. It just simplifies things.
Wow never actually got the meaning:
According to tradition, “the birds and the bees” is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and results of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events. For instance, bees carry and deposit pollen into flowers, a visible and easy-to-explain parallel to fertilization. Female birds laying eggs is a similarly visible and easy-to-explain parallel to ovulation. Another interpretation of the bird laying the egg is childbirth, although that is not as common.
PS: left the links in this time, on iOS usually have to copy to PasteBoard to get plain text - just started happening in Voyager
But bees also lay eggs, and birds also carry and deposit pollen
Also male birds don’t lay eggs 🥚🥚
And only the queen bee lays eggs, any bee out and foraging around is a sterile female.
Isn’t it mostly just hummingbirds that would get involved with pollen? Or are there others?
It’s not exclusively hummingbirds, there are a few others. The wikipedia pages on Ornithophily and Nectarivores have some info about this.
Doesn’t matter, just wash you hands when you’re done
don’t pee on the seat and flush would be my priorities
Bees have a stinger, and “bird” has been a slang term for a woman (like, what, 1920-1950s?).
Regards, I agree that’s needlessly vague, and just about to the point of useless.
The only bees with stingers are the female ones, though.
Fine, Bs represent bra size so that’s the women’s room, and a cock is a bird, so that’s the men’s room.
Any way you slice it, these signs don’t help.
A tit is a bird though
So is a Booby
I give up I’m going to go piss in the kitchen
Dishes done.
As is a cock.
Gotta have both.
Thank you for the explanation.
As someone not too familiar with American cultures, I’d probably make an assumption and go for the (to me) more masculine bird over the docile and flower loving bee, since bees have stingers that they normally would never use and birds have beaks/peckers.
I’ve only ever heard bird used as working class slang for a woman in Britain.
Hmm, well, I have heard women being compared to singing birds (or more degrading as vultures or pen of hens if in group), but I’ve more often heard women being romantically compared to bees or flowers. Though, I don’t think I’ve ever heard men being compared to bees, but often to birds (eagles, vultures, seagulls, etc.).
Might also be local culture, as I usually think of harmony, nature, and perhaps matriarchy when pondering bees, while birds seem much more gender neutral, like, standoff-ish, elegant, brutal, impulsive, egoistic, even presented as predatory and evil in children movies and some media.
So, using common stereotyping, you can see where I’m coming from.
Although almost all bees you actually ever see are female
You’re using logic in a situation where someone has to pee badly.
Birds have peckers
Wow, how did I miss that??
Wtf
Alternate comment: I love how you need to internalize 100 years of sexism before you can relieve yourself
Harmless old slang terms are now sexist. Got it.
Nope
I’m pretty sure it was sexist back then too. It’s just that nobody cared.
Googled it real quick and it’s from the French Burd, meaning noblewoman
So… No?
Interesting. I didn’t know the words origins. I’ve always considered it alongside the classic English tradition of referring to women as various animals.
This isnt a uniquely female experience. Men commonly refer to their friends as “dog”. Also, in the gay community, men’s body types are equated to animals such as “bear,” “otter,” and “cub”.
And not men?
Odd that so many people are coming out the woodwork to say they didn’t know Britons fairly often call women birds.
I’ve heard dame used more often than bird myself. Honestly, not sure I’ve actually heard bird used… it’s like a vague sense of “I think I knew that… right?” and my brain shrugs back.
It’s slang you’d hear 50 years ago in the east end and Essex. You’ll only really hear it used by gangsters in movies these days or someone putting on the accent for laughs, possibly from an old geezer, you certainly won’t hear it used by respectable establishments or family friendly media. It’s not generally considered offensive but is considered uncouth.
Anarchist answer: They’re both unisex - bees for pees, birds for turds.
I would say they’re unisex and just pick one.
Hmm… You might be onto something here
Yes, this establishment’s blacklist.
At least they’re not charging people to use these bathrooms. Then you’d be kicked out of a fine establishment.
Do I have to hold my pee while I’m pooping until I can get to the other bathroom?
You don’t already?!??
ngl I’d shit in the bees stall bc the other one probably nasty af
Answer the question, Claire!
If you don’t have a cloaca you can’t use birds
So anybody with a cloaca can just go around and use birds?
It’s that what you’re saying?
#outrage
Have an open mind. It’s 2024 for crying out loud. If they identify as a bird then of course they use birds rooms.
Say have you heard?
I have it on good authority that everybody’s heard about the bird.
I know some of these words
A cloaca is kinda like an anus that you also piss and reproduce with.
Terrific username for posting cloaca facts
Efficient
this is how i feel when a website presents me with a gender prompt with only two options
Hole or pole?
Void or avoid?
This is literally the only reason I’m considering a PhD: I can put “Dr.” on official documents and it’ll be accepted.
Citizen Hellfire
Or when a webform requires an honorific and none of them is suitable. (I’ll usually pick “Honorable”)
I love it when serious companies make it a text field, and i get my bills in a letter adressed, in all sincerity, to: Intergalactic Lord Emperor GoosLife
At work we used the department field for outrageous addressees
I’m going in and committing to whatever I find inside.
