Women: what do you do in the restroom that's taking so long?

Question

I'm the average American male. I can be in and out of the restroom within 2, or 3 minutes, including washing my hands...1 minute or 2 more if I have to sit down.

I know y'all have more to do, but I've end up waiting what seems to be an eternity for women who have passed through my life.

I know I'm not the only guy to feel this way, but I got the grapefruits to mention it.

I did have an ex who also asked what y'all do in there that's taking so long, so one of your own, so to speak, also wonders why.

I know y'all have this or that to do, but damn, others are waiting on you... some are also women.

Answer 1

MEN: Unzip pants, pee into urinal, shake it off, wash hands, dry hands on pants, and leave.

WOMEN: Wait in line for the only unoccupied stall which has a toilet that's not backed up, a seat that's not covered in nastiness, and actually has toilet paper. Pull pants all the way down to knees (or pull pantyhose down and skirt up). Carefully balance purse and/or coat so it won't touch the disgusting floor while you are squatting strategically over the toilet to avoid touching toilet seat. Try not to slip on pee on the floor. Now wipe (front to back, of course). If it's that time of the month, you must also dig around in your purse for a pad or tampon and take care of that. Wrap old pad or tampon in tissue paper and attempt to dIspose it in tiny trash can that is almost always overflowing. Pull pants up. Flush. Nothing. Flush again. OK. Exit stall and fight your way through the line of other women waiting to begin this process. Wash and dry hands. Touch up hair, makeup, lipstick. Check for broccoli in teeth. Readjust any clothing that may have gotten bunched up while squatting, peeing, wiping. Go find your seething husband or boyfriend who will never understand what you go through in there!

Does that answer your question? =;o)

Answer 2

What we women do, at least the ones I know of including myself, while we are in the eternal restroom, is this: we go, then we go to the mirror and look. We realize that we are in serious need of a touch up. that means, getting the face powder out and blotting it all over the face, then the blush for the cheeks, then it looks like now we need to redo the lips, and that takes sometimes up to 3 different lip items to accomplish (the liner, the color and the over coat of some type), and then we have to touch up our eyes a bit. Then after the face is done, we check our hair which always need to be re- whatevered. So you are looking at a good..... oh..... 10 minutes to forever on that.

Answer 3

LOL :-D
OK, first we go into a bathroom stall
( somtimes we have to wait for one to
become available ).
Then we hang our pocket book, and jacket
on the hook behind the door. Then we hope
there is toilet paper. We line the hopper seat
with toilet paper from the roll. This can be
a little troublesome because the toilet paper
tears off in strips, and sometimes
it's too short to use, and falls in the hopper
bowl. You need three strips to cover the seat,
and the paper on the roll doesn't come off
in round strips, it needs to over lap.
Ok, that business is done.
Now what am I wearing?
Lets see, am I wearing pants or jeans, loose
or tight? Maybe a skirt with stockings, or hose.
What a pain, because what goes down,
has to come back up. We hope we didn't
break a nail, and snag our clothing doing this.

Oh wait, a lady in the next stall is asking if I
have toilet paper. So I find the roll, and pass
it to her under the side of our stall.

Now I make sure that my clothing is in place.
I turn to push the toilet paper covering the
hopper seat, in the hopper.
I count them real quick,
so I know they all went in, and won't be
hanging out the waist band of my clothes,
or on the bottom of my shoe trailing after me
( I hate that ).
It Is funny when It happens to other people. :-D
So I put on my jacket, and get my
pocket book from the hook on the door.
I walk over to the sink to wash my hands.
Lucky for me If there are paper towels.
If not I may have to go back to the stall
so I can get some toilet tissue to turn the
water facet on. I don't want to touch it with
my bare hands, ( germs ).
I wet my hands, soap up and wash them.
Making sure my pocket book stays close
to my side, and doesn't fall in the sink and
get wet. I grab some more paper towels,
dry my hands and turn off the water facets.

Looking in the mirror I check out my hair,
and reapply my lipstick.

Hello, :-)
( Isn't that the Lady from my Church?
You always see somebody you know
in the Restroom ).

Well, when Nature calls...

Answer 4

We can't just whip it out, do our business, then stick it back in and go. First we have to wait in a long line, depending on where we are. Once we're inside, we have to clean a spot and line the toilet or totter on the toilet, all while making sure not to touch anything. We then need to clean ourselves, still while not touching and get rid of all the tissue we used for lining the toilet. Alot of times the water at the sink does not get very hot so we're waiting on that as well, and if there is no paper towel, more waiting, cause now we need to get tissue from the toilet, and here we go again trying not to touch. Come on, we're worth the wait.

Answer 5

Have you ever had to go into a tiny stall barely large enough to turn around in( I'm small) then put
your coat and purse on a hanger , if there is one, find a seat cover, if there is one, if not you make your own with TP all the while smothering in that tiny inclosed place. I so dislike going to the ladies room unless of course it's the kind that has an attendant on duty, those are kinda neat.

Answer 6

LOL! We do what you men do! We empty our bladders and go poop if needed. I think that most of us wear more clothing than you guys do. That does take a few minutes and when you are finished, you have to redress!

Plus, we have to wash our hands, make sure the lipstick is in place. There is that little messing with the locks too. We are women you know! LOL

Answer 7

We have secret meetings in the restroom where only women are allowed to go. Did you ever notice that women scream when a man enters their restroom? But if a woman accidentally enters the mens' room she's welcomed?

Answer 8

First, there's always a line to wait on because there aren't enough stalls. Women use stalls instead of urinals, and have to wait for one.
Second, it takes longer to lift up skirt, take down panties, pull down pantyhose, unzip jeans than just to whip it out.

Third, we usually wipe.
Fourth, we also wash out hands afterwards.

Then, ikf we can, we check makeup, etc. Oh yes, we also often have to take the kids in with us, and help them.

Answer 9

The truth is, we have a secret "Ladies Code" to intentionally make men wait on us. All of us are usually done very quickly with using the facilities, but we've all pledged to hang out in the ladies restroom to kill extra time in order to keep our men waiting longer outside our restroom for us.

Some of the activities we do to extend our restroom stay are:
- gambling & playing dice games against the restroom wall.
- watch on a secret ladies room TV the highlights from our soap operas.
- spy through holes in the wall on what you men are doing in the restroom next door.
- enjoy unlimited free cocktails while dancing with Chippindale dancers.

We do all this to teach you we are worth the wait, honey!

Answer 10

Us women make sure we look alright and the most important thing is this...we have to take down clothes, men only have to unzip. Putting clothes back on is time consuming.
Or there is a line , that is what takes soooo long!!
