Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

One of the most surreal experiences of my life, walking up to a urinal at T in the Park whilst refreshed and medicated, and a lassie standing next to me doing a slash/having a wee chat

I mind similar happening at a gig on Glasgow Green (Stone Roses, possibly). The queue for the lassies toilets was gigantic, but the guys was just a large outdoor urinal paddock type thing. There was more women in there pishing than there was men. Everyone just got on with it.

Pal of mine suffers from that.  He is not embarrassed by it as he's been aware of it for years. It's probably more common than people think. He does find it annoying when he goes for a pee in a busy pub but the traps are occupied... he waves folk in past him to use the urinals - some are a bit confused.

Would they not just think he needed a shite?

More likely they just assume he's a cokehead

44 years old and until 2 days ago on this thread I'd never heard of the cubicles in toilets being referred to as 'traps'. Is this another east/west thing?

The only traps I associate with toilets are those in the plumbing.

I'm the opposite. If I go in a public toilet for a pee and its only stalls, I'll just hold it. Also, could never walk into a stall immediately after someone comes out. Don't know how women do it.

Someones got to pish the excess jobby off the porcelain - wheres your public spiirit?

They're numbered in accordance with ease and sophistication of one beak habit.

"Ehyup lad, there's one for you in trap 2".

Numbered from closest to door (being one).

You are now fluent in Cocanese.

This has triggered memories from my first day at Primary. The bogs had five urinals and two cubicles.

They were introduced as, left to right: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (urinals) and Saturday and Sunday (cubicles).   

Happy Days

My son's last school had toilet cubicles in the classrooms.

My first primary school classroom also had a toilet in it. Well that's what one of my classmates must've thought the play house was given the jobbies that were sometimes found in it.
