What the heck are women doing in there?
A comedy article

I was at a meet-and-greet conference last week and brought my girlfriend along so I would look less like a nerd. It didn't work, but that's beside the point. She excused herself to go to the bathroom.
I walked about for a bit, and went to see what was taking so long. The women's bathroom had about a dozen people queued out the door. I asked myself, "What the fudge do women do in there that takes so long?" Are they all changing tampons? Do they poo every time they pee? Restuffing their bras? Is there hot lesbian action in the stalls? What the heck are they doing? I asked my girlfriend why she takes so long in the bathroom. She replied, "Well, women can't just whip it out and zip it up."
Being the nerd that I am, I performed an experiment. I timed twelve pees and a poo. The poo was an accident, so we'll exclude that trial from the results. Using the "whipping it out and zipping it up" method, I averaged 56 seconds +/- 0.5 sec. Using the "squatting and wipe the head of my pee-pee" method, I averaged 74 seconds +/- 0.6 sec. A difference of 32%. Given that most facilities provide an equal number of pee receptacles, I concluded that four every 3 women who use the bathroom, 4 men will have finished their business.
To test my hypothesis, I staked out the women's bathroom at a local baseball stadium. Surely, this was the province of men. How many women are into baseball? 10%? Beer was really filling up bladders. I witnessed 28 guys walk out of the bathroom for every 16 women, and there was a line to the grand stand for the women's bathroom. I counted the pee bins, including toilets, in the men's bathroom. I got a glimpse of the women's before I was pepper sprayed and beaten unconscious by the women standing in line. I think they thought I was trying to get cuts. I remember there being an equal number. As a side note, women's bathrooms are damn near palatial. What's with the white rattan chairs?
After my girlfriend bailed me out of jail, we went to my apartment. As luck would have it, she went into the bathroom just as I looked at my watch. She popped out after 78 seconds, and I'm pretty sure she used the "squat" method. But at a restaurant later that day, she took a full two minutes with no line to hold her back. Surely that's not long enough to poo.
I asked her how come she could due her business in 78 seconds at home, yet she needed two minutes at a restaurant. "You're timing how long I take to pee?" she asked. She started blathering about my control issues, how my best friend Bill was right, and how much better Bill was in bed.
So, I'm just curious. What the heck do women do in public restrooms that takes so damn long? And does anyone know where I can buy a good used shotgun for my buddy Bill? We're going hunting next weekend.

Sexist, but funny. I've given it the coveted ZUG homepage highlight for today.
I would love to hear the female response to this article!

Some women actually wash threir hands before sitting back down and eating at a resturant. Or check their hair. Or re-apply lip stick.
Or maybe we just don't find the need to break the speed barier every time nature calls.

I don't believe it, women don't poo. Just ask one, they don't fart either.

For starters, in public restrooms we always ALWAYS wash our hands and check our hair and makeup. At home, we wash our hands and then walk out. Unless going out to dinner or on a date, in which case it takes an hour +/- .6 sec.

Yes! First article and I got front page.
Please ignore the spelling errors: four, for; due, do; I hate homophones.
I intended this as a conversation piece, but it got to be too long. I had no idea that articles were reviewed, and take a week to be posted.
Anyway, my girlfriend admitted to being embarrassed by the noise of pee hitting the water hard when she's in a public restroom. So she has to keep it to a gentle tinkle. I thought that odd, but it's not as funny as my obsession with this phenomenon...or women's private affairs in general. Next week: Tampons, A Great Substitute for Water Balloons.

Great work
The ladies rooms I've visited (don't ask me why) look either more like a living room, or something not even a man would piss in after an all night kegger.
Couches, carpeting, dispensing machines that don't involve "ticklers". I'm suprised there's not a eunich in each stall to take care of any other "needs" patrons might have.

Women don't belch and can't fart. If they didn't bitch they'd explode like birds on the Arm and Hammer diet.

I've also observed that women especially in public places do not seem happy to travel to the toilets alone, they need to get there in packs. Maybe their pee cycles become aligned like their periods but I don't believe that.
I postulate that there are longer cues at ladies loos because of this need to travel there in packs. The reason for this I theorise is that they need to hold each others panties off the floor while they pee to prevent them getting dirty. You can dispute that last one anytime if you want that's really a work in progress, proof of this has been hard to come by although arrests, beatings and threats to
'Cut my Frost-ing balls off and feed them to me with gravy and onions?!?!' (Where do they get this stuff do they make it up on the spot or do they pay a writer!!!)
have been more common. Guys don't go to the loo together unless it's on business. The specimen examination kind.... so I've read.
My point....
I don't have one stop reading already.

Since this was bumped and it's the first time I've read it I'd like to add my thoughts. A) The primping does take a long time. B) Restrooms are great pickup area for women who like women and that takes time. "You have such beatiful hair, can I feel it?" "Sure! Hey, that's great perfume!" Etc. If women's restrooms weren't pretty it wouldn't happen so much, but they're often quite a comfortable place so women don't mind getting their groove on there. (Non-straight women, that is.)

Also, women usually go in the toilet, instead of using the sink when there's a long line.
The sink-peeing probably cuts the mens' line in half, don't you think?

We scratch every where and anywhere that is itchy,
Check our teeth,
Adjust our boobs so they are sitting just right to taught men's eyes. (in order to give us something to bitch about when you aren't listen and you are looking at our boobs)
We fart and/or burp,
Fix our hair,
Do make up,
Actually use the loo,
Mostly, it is just to get a break from the men we are with at the time.
That or talk about you behind your back.

True story.
My mother in law got married when the Daglet was just 3 weeks old. You all know how big my boobs are now, back when I was breastfeeding they were Frost-ing massive. We went out to the wedding, there were 120 guests there and ONLY ONE TOILET!
So. I had to buy a bag big enough to carry my breast pump so that I could express milk every 2 hours to stop my boobs from exploding.
2 hours into the wedding, I had to go and express some milk. So there I am in this tiny cramped toilet, my dress around my waist, pumping milk into a clear plastic tube as fast as I can.
The banging on the door started after about 5 minutes, I needed at least another 10 minutes to finish the job. So I pumped as fast as I could, trouble was, I got a little clumsy as it's not really the sort of thing one can rush.
I heard desperate women outside banging on the door, someone went to get the manager because they thought someone had fallen asleep in the loo.
Next thing I know, the door opens, 20 women with crossed legs doing little dances peer inside, my dress is still around my waist, a breast pump is attached to my right nipple, and I am COVERED in breast milk.
I went home after that.
