Pay toilets

[murielm99]

Do any of the women here remember when we had to pay to pee?

1. This 78 year old male remembers..

had to put a dime in the door mechanism to get it to open.

Someone left a poem on one of stall walls:

"Here I sit, brokenhearted.
Came to shit, and only farted."

[Deuxcents]

2. Yes, I do! I was a young girl n looking back, I can't believe we were subjected to that 💩

3. I do!

Many times the women would hold the door for the next “customer” to beat the system.

[Deuxcents]

6. We did that, too. I had sisters so we figured it out real soon.

4. If you're required to plunk down money to use the facilities

urine trouble!

5. I would rather forget!

They were staple in the airports of all places.

8. And big-city department stores.

[LeftInTX]

10. Yeah. I remember now. Didn't spend much time in dept stores.

But everyone had to go at the airport.

In rest areas on the turnpike.

9. In rest areas on the turnpike! That's really cruel!

[2naSalit]

11. Yup.

But then I also recall rest areas, like in the midwest and other places, where they were just outhouses and not heated. A read drag in the winter, and there weren't very any of them back then too.

12. Now they have "family restrooms" in the airports. (Private restrooms)

Due to a bad back, I had wear a Tens unit on my flight home. After going through the TSA checkpoint, Hubby accompanied me and we put all the electrodes on. Then extra tape and a couple of those biofreeze patches and other junk to hold everything in place. He got me all taped up. I used the unit on my back, the entire way home!

14. Family restrooms are a great idea for many reasons.

13. Still do in many foreign countries.

[LoisB]

15. Yes!
