I've been in bathrooms in Europe where cleaning women were
cleaning sinks and urnials while men were using the facilities.


I've seen the reverse in Europe.

It was pretty common to see female "towel girls" in mens's restrooms
back when I was a "Road Warrier" and traveled through many parts of
europe fairly often.


Male cleaners in "womens" rooms were not rare.


I didn't know that. I guess that's not so bad in one way - ladies do
at least have the privacy of a door.


Didja ever realize that one of the benefits of the women's liberation
movement in the USA which started about 50 years ago was the (I think)
total elimination of the pay toilet stalls which used to be commonplace
in many public restrooms??

The ladies successfully argued that it was unfair to make them pay to
get into a stall to pee, while men could use the urinals for free.

I have encountered some "pay bathrooms" at cheap gas stations where
anyone who wants to use that room has to drop in a coin to open the door.

I have vague recollections of pay toilets. If one of us was in dire
need to go, the rest of the boys had to wait in line without letting the
door close so we got our moneys worth. In one store it was known that
the bathrooms where always kept very clean, there we were told to go
under the door. Gawd that sounds gross now, even with clean floors.
