Maybe I've been living too long in suburbanville, but wtf is up with locked bathrooms. You usually find them in uptowns, ghettoey areas, or gas stations with bathrooms outside. It's such a pain in the ass to ask for the key tethered to a huge wood block. I guess the point of locking it is to keep homeless people from living there, gays from using it as a public make-out spot, and to deter people from shitting on the sink, floors, and walls.
lol @ this thread. The only places I have seen locked bathrooms are gas stations and Best Buy, though Best Buy changed this policy.

According to other posters on other forums. People who ruin something that are shared by others (ie. bathrooms, parks, public places, even online games) deserve to be sentenced to the 4th ring of hell.Quote:

A few McDonalds around my area recently started to lock their bathrooms.
If you live in South Jersey or travel to the Jersey show(Wildwood, Ocean City, etc) and you traveled RT 42 aka North/South Freeway. The little rest inlet areas near the AC Expressway entrance were known for gays to make out on. Or Truckers to shit and piss at ... mind you theres no port-a-potties. They shut them down, but recently reopened them. Now their used for cops to nail speeders.
This thread is stupid, and so is Beefy Hit's sig that takes up 14 pages.

I can see stores doing this; ie. Deter shoplifters, but everywhere else is just ridiculous.
They don't lock the bathrooms at Sheetz. They are a civilized gas station and convenience store.
Anyway, if a place does lock the bathroom, it is your god-given right to defecate anywhere in the establishment that pleases you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Apparently there is an evil cult of free basing pole smokers in this country that likes to go from rest center to rest center.
Closed down for gay people making out? I find that hard to believe. Did it have a sign that said "OMG teh Gay w'ere closing!!!!11"?
Where is the "everywhere else" then?Quote:

My brother was recently eyeballed and followed by an obvious gay guy at a rest stop after a concert one night. He said that he accidentally made eye contact with the guy and he followed him out of the bathroom to the drink machines and when he realized my brother wasn't interested he went back into the bathroom.Quote:

They lock all the bathrooms in McDonalds and similar restaurants on the high street in France. On your receipt is a code for the door.
The reason is to stop people like me, who go in those places just to use the toilet, doing that, so that only customers get those privelidges.
It keeps the toilets cleaner, and quieter, which is better for the paying customer.
I've not seen this in department stores though.
And lol at the gay thing.
Just be happy they don't have pay-toilets.
Gas Stations and restruants.Quote:
