I once accompanied a teenager to one of those horse-girl movies. The auditorium was completely full, and apart from two young women who seemed to be doing it ironically, I was the only adult in the theater. During the interval, I noticed how other adults handled it: They accompany the children to the movie theater and then have two hours to enjoy a few drinks.
I always see the movie with the kids, no matter how juvenile. That way I’m more aware of what they’re watching, and we can make inside jokes. Plus I didn’t think I’d like Teen Titans Go until I saw the movie.
So that’s why there is bar seating at Flicks Brewhouse. I could just have a 2nd pint rather than buy another movie ticket
Sweet, we can compliment each others dicks
I don’t get what’s up with this picture. It looks like a normal bathroom to me. Honestly, it’s surprisingly clean for a concert venue bathroom, if there’s something that seems out of the ordinary here.
That’s the point… There are barely any men at the specific concert.
Ha thanks. And I was there thinking that demographic was (urinal) white boys
white urinals with black base
Here I thought the demographic was well behaved guys…
Not relly an issue for you in this bathroom based on this pic, butt I absolutely fuckin’ hate urinals without a divider. I went to go take leak, not go to an impromtu sausage party for fucks sake. Gimme some god damn privacy!
Who shares my sentiment?
Look at my dick if you want idc lol
Lol nice cock bro.
This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.
Lol!
As a tall man the dividers are too low, I don’t care if someone sees my dick, but I don’t want to make eye contact.
Yeah there really is an etiquette, no eye contact being part of it.
Then stop facing sideways, ya weirdo.
I don’t mind, when I go to such a place I’ve got my own business to do and let others do theirs. It’s a simple natural thing I don’t think about much.
Fair enough.
I once went to a large outdoor music festival. They had these round plastic units that had urinals shaped around the outside. So you’re facing each other. Whilst I was using one a guy came over and said “Isn’t it great that we can piss whilst staring into the eyes of another man!”
The worst of these I have ever seen was my high school football field men’s room urinal, yes singular, because it was just an old cast iron tub in the center of a bare concrete room. It wasn’t uncommon to have 8-10 men and boys around it pissing at halftime. It was only replaced maybe 15 years ago.
Ugh awkward lol.
I used to hate urinals. Then again that’s probably more of a trans woman thing
When you’re the only two guys at such an event you stand next to each other and go “nice dick bro”. That’s just common courtesy.
Lol!
100%, I don’t need to hang chode with a bunch of other dudes. I’d rather piss in a bottle Amazon style.
I feel the same way.
Hell when I was young you didn’t even get urinals, it was just a trough.
They still have those in the Chinese school I was teaching in. Spotless, modern, but a trough. A really humbling experience, even after years of nightclub toilets in Ireland.
Those are still in a lot of places here in the UK. Apparently it used to be common in a lot of countries for bars in pubs to be surrounded by a gutter with a drain at one end so guys could just piss and spit without having to leave their stool. I suppose when everybody smoked indoors the smell wouldn’t have been as much of a problem.
Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)
Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.
Saw a girl at big day out get sick of the lineup for the women’s toilets, so she lined up at the men’s urinals, had better aim than half the blokes there and got a round of applause when she finished.
Wait until you see the urinal in a rural fest made of just a 10m long pipe cut in half. Cheap and highly effective. Bonus point when they have a tablet at eye level to put your drink.
this is the only correct way, could still be improved with more trough along the back wall
Our bathrooms were like this at my shitty old American Catholic school.

Oh damn that’s rough.
I don’t care about dividers but I do hate when it’s just once long trough that everybody uses. I’m so glad they stopped using them.
Last time I went to a concert at an arena (over 10 years ago at this point), I held my piss far too long to avoid the lines/trough… I finally gave in mid-set, and there was still a line. Finally got to the trough, and I dunno if it was because I held it for so long or because I was surrounded by drunk men with their dongs out, but I suddenly had shy bladder syndrome for the first time in my life… Stood their with my dick in my hand for what felt like 10 mins (probably more like 1), but nothing. I had to wait for a stall to open up and then still had like a 30 sec wait before I could actually start pissing. It was awful.
Fuck piss troughs. We should’ve left that shit behind like 300 years ago.
Not to brag but I’ve never had an issue pissing in a trough, I don’t care about anyone else’s dick and they don’t care about mine
I don’t care about anyone else’s dick and they don’t care about mine
Neither do I. It’s got nothing to do with dick size.
In this case I think it was mostly just because I held it in for way too long. It was like my pelvic floor muscles were just refusing to let go. It was just exacerbated by the rotating cast of men pissing next to me.
Trough definately sounds worse.
Troughs enable pooh stick races with cigarette butts.
Totally agree, this was my thought too! Literally doesn’t take any extra space, just put dividers between the urinals…
Yeah super minor improvement that makes a big difference.
Went to see a musical recently, and I spent nearly all of the intermission trying to force my bladder to get a move on, because the dividers were so damn small and scores of men lined my peripheral vision. If I walked into this bathroom, I’d leave and hold it.
Life’s too short to suffer a full bladder.
Sometimes our brains don’t cooperate. Especially if we’ve already been holding it for a long time (at least in my experience)
Let them see it. Hell, let them hold it. I don’t care anymore. I’m not keeping a full bladder.
And aim for the deepest water, too. Let them hear it.
Oh yeah when it’ super crowdedeis the worst!
I won’t use a urinal unless it’s an emergency and no other options are available. They’re uncomfortable.
I remember some bar I was at once only had urinals, and I was like “what do you do if you gotta shit??”. Apparently the bathroom on the bottom floor had full stalls, but still. Yuck.
I’m betting someone shit in a urinal there at some point lol.
I guess when I gotta go I gotta go. Usually don’t spend long enough thinking about it because I will pee my self if I do.
That’s understandable.
I agree. I never use urinals for this reason, I will always go into a stall. Fuck urinals dude
Yeah gotta have some privacy.
My bf and I went to see Dethklok and DragonForce. We both went to the restroom at the same time.
I walked right the women’s room, went and then joked around with the other women about how we walked right in I left the restroom pushed my way through crowds, saw my partner was still standing in line, went to the bar, got drinks, then hung out until he was done.
IT WAS SO WEIRD AND AWESOME.
Also the concert was awesome.
Fuck, I want to see dethklok!!
They had an amazing looking tour with baby metal a couple years ago I wish I could’ve gone to
It was last year! I found out they were playing in my area … the day after they played. I haven’t been to a concert in 18 years but I would have gone to that one.
Saw them here and it was amazing.
Same, I didn’t even know he toured.
I remember seeing dragonforce in this small venue quite some time ago, we didn’t really get bands like that where I lived. It was pretty cool as we had a smoke with the drummer during the intermission out front. I only really knew one of their songs as I was a massive guitar hero fan but it was totally worth it just for that.
Wait until you take in a metal show with a band that has a big following of women.
There’s going to be lines at both, but there’s also going to be a line of women in the men’s room waiting for stalls.
That’s the big benefit of urinals; you can cram more of them into the same space. Ngl, if I was a woman and going to shows, I’d carry one of those “porta jane” funnels and use the damn urinals instead of waiting for my bladder to pop
Wait until you take in a metal show with a band that has a big following of women.
Such as…?
Let’s see, I gotta think back to individual shows, and if I try to do that without writing it down as I go, I’ll fuck up, so bear with the jankiness of the comment please.
In terms of real metal, as in bands that lay claim to the genre, and back that claim up. Metallica for sure, and the multiple shows I’ve been to of theirs backs that up.
Maiden isn’t as popular with women, but I’d feel comfortable saying that have a strong fan base there, and I definitely experienced the women in the men’s room thing at their shows.
Type o neg is maybe not really metal, but they sure as hell had women alll over their shows, and they’re honorary metal imo, if not real metal.
While I wasn’t able to go to shows by the time they came around, jinjer has a massive female fan base. And I’ve seen footage of their shows that supports that. Which, it’s kinda cheating to point to female fronted bands, but they’re still not mostly women in the crowds, it’s still male dominated out there. Same with bands like spiritbox, or other woman fronted or all woman groups. Well, maybe The Warning is mostly a female fan base, but it isn’t a massive majority.
If you expand into hard rock, and other metal adjacent genres, it gets even broader. All of the hair bands had a ton of women or girls in their fan base. Poison in particular was batshit in that way. You could have trouble seeing other guys in their crowds lol. And they do still draw women to shows in numbers, as does Brett solo. Ratt, Cinderella, Great White, all those bands that got right to the edge of being metal sometimes, but didn’t quite abandon hard rock drew that audience in as well. Def Leppard was never even close to metal, and never claimed otherwise, but holy shit, were their shows estrogen heavy. Still are.
Now, the heavier you get, the less it becomes a thing. Even in melodic death metal, it’s a sausage fest. Amon Amarth can barely draw enough women to shows to crowd the ladies’ room supposedly, and they’re as accessible as melodeath gets. You get info stuff like dying fetus, and you won’t see many women at all, much less enough to crowd into the men’s room.
But, beyond those, I’ve been to metal shows for corrosion of conformity and seen women in the men’s room. Saw that happen with a7x, HIM, and whatever that one band was that has bullet in the name. It’s easier to run into smaller venues, so I’ve seen it with regional and local bands more often, but it was still a cubicle visible and obvious chunk in the audience, not just a handful that all had to pee at the same time.
Shit, I went to a Marilyn Manson show with my cousin once, and not only were there women lined up in the men’s room, they were lined up, peeing outside because there just weren’t enough stalls for the hundreds of women in line.
And I wanna say it was COC that was at a mid sized venue where the stalls had no doors in the men’s room, so a bunch of us ran the line for men about three feet in front, with everyone facing the other way so that the women could have the illusion of privacy. Might have been a different band, but it was one of the metal shows I saw with my cousin when I visited him. The guys that organized it stayed in the line the rest of the show, with a couple of us meatier dudes making sure everyone stayed eyes front and didn’t pull any bullshit. I know there were enough women at that show that the line kept moving in there for the last half of a set that was over an hour. There was a line of men like that too, but it was a lot of women.
Had to have been three hundred women total, and iirc, that venue only holds maybe 1500 seats, and there was also ladies room that was working.
Women are definitely a minority at metal and hard rock shows, but not as minor as people think.
Fuck! Side story!
I met a lady at a Metallica show back in the late nineties. Same deal there, women lined up in the men’s room.
One of the women was about 3 feet tall. She came out while I was zipping up, and ended up kinda catching the movement as she was walking by. Got super embarrassed, blushed and ran out.
I exit the lavatory, and she’s on the ground. Ran into someone, ended up busting her ass. Asked her if she was injured, and she wasn’t. Offered to play bulldozer for her, if she wanted. Kinda walk slow and make sure there was space behind me so she wouldn’t get slammed. She asked if I was hitting on her, and I said nah, but if she wanted to wait at the exit after the show, I would then.
She waited!
Nice lady. We hung out for a while.
Totally tangential, but it was a woman in the men’s room at a metal show.
I hung out with a girl at the metal show, she saw me put away my dick and I was like “oh no”.
Well, it’s about how you shove it back in, I guess
So a sausagefest. Glad you were there to bat the bats away
That’s a very off-putting mural for a restroom.
Now its up to you to do the damage of 1000 men.
I could try and get them all in a single wild stream, like an F1 victory champagne.
Why does the wall in the bathroom say “it wasn’t me”?
Picture this; we were both butt naked, bangin on the bathroom floor…
Shaggy was in attendance
Followup question: what does the mural say in the women’s bathroom?
Don’t ask me. I didn’t write it. Wasn’t me.
Was it ghost or sleep token, girls be loving those bands
Unbelievable guess! It wasn’t, but she is also the world’s biggest Ghost fan. She went to watch them a week or so ago and cried with happiness throughout.
Sleep token is touring soon if you want another band to take her to, tickets are kinda hard to get though (rabid fans + scalpers)
How is this possible? All of my brothers and I are ghost fans.
Im hip, im with it. Tucka tucka tucka tucka tucka tucka tucka
Haaaaaa…
Hello fellow person who also enjoys referencing 25+ year old things to display hipness level
Damn now I want to go see this band so I can pee in peaceful solitude!
…Where do you normally pee that’s, if not peaceful, at least alone?!
At home, in solitude (but no live music), and also at work (no solitude or live music).
Next to a street musician (no solitudine but with live music)
As in its empty cause most of the bands fans are women?
Yes
Empty and pretty clean…
Wow, that’s even worse than when I went with my wife to a Bon Jovi concert!
The day I lost my wife, to Bon Jovi
yea, that sucks. you ain’t got a prayer.
Tbh, she gives love a bad name.
Well she keeps dreaming of running away
and when she cries in the night, he whispers
“Baby, it’s okay, someday”
Finally a bathroom designed for people to snort coke in!
Also a great place for a quickie
I mean, I was right there
Quickie? You could host an orgy in there.
This also happened to me to back in the 90s at a Melissa Ethridge concert.
I (M) saw Sinead O’Connor in the early '90s and almost the entire audience was 13-year-old girls dressed in black who screamed every time Sinead made a weird hand gesture. Still probably the best concert I’ve ever been to - Sinead was a fantastic real singer and her band was tight. RIP and fuck Joe Pesci.
Also happened to me at an indigo girls concert
Funny enough, the biggest Indigo Girls fan I’ve ever met was assigned male at birth (they came out as non-binary several years ago but is still very traditionally masc presenting for reasons).
