Anarchist answer: They’re both unisex - bees for pees, birds for turds.
Hmm… You might be onto something here
Yes, this establishment’s blacklist.
At least they’re not charging people to use these bathrooms. Then you’d be kicked out of a fine establishment.
ngl I’d shit in the bees stall bc the other one probably nasty af
I would say they’re unisex and just pick one.
Bees have a stinger, and “bird” has been a slang term for a woman (like, what, 1920-1950s?).
Regards, I agree that’s needlessly vague, and just about to the point of useless.
The only bees with stingers are the female ones, though.
Fine, Bs represent bra size so that’s the women’s room, and a cock is a bird, so that’s the men’s room.
Any way you slice it, these signs don’t help.
A tit is a bird though
I give up I’m going to go piss in the kitchen
Dishes done.
So is a Booby
Gotta have both.
Birds have peckers
Wow, how did I miss that??

You’re using logic in a situation where someone has to pee badly.
Slang for women is “chicks” and a bit more archaic, “birds” too.
Bees have a…stinger? Dunno about that one.
Aren’t most bees female though?
They are. Hence confusion with the signage.
_prick /prĭk/ noun
… A small, sharp, local pain, such as that made by a needle or bee sting … A pointed object, such as an ice pick, goad, or thorn. _

Suppose calling men bees is more polite than calling them pricks…

Doesn’t matter, just wash you hands when you’re done
don’t pee on the seat and flush would be my priorities
Just look for the one with a line (queue) outside.
Or be fair and pee half in each.
Or be chaotic and scrawl “Mammals” on the wall and pee under that.
If you don’t have a cloaca you can’t use birds
Why not just make every bathroom a one occupant room? Just because someone has the same genitals as me doesn’t mean I want them to hear me fart.
I once was in the restroom when my (then) boss (plus later doctor father) came to the toilet and farted as loudly as humanly possible. It was very satisfying. Happy that guy is not my boss anymore, he thought his scientific staff are his personal slaves.
What is a doctor father?
The professor you write your PhD thesis at/with/for. Isn’t that a common word in English?
I have never written a PhD thesis, so I might not be the best representative, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the phrase.
Ditto for me on both counts. I was trying to figure out if he was your wifes dad who is also your MD or what. So doctor father is more like drag mother.
That would be nice, for small venues that only have a few stalls. However that would take a ton of rooms and money for high traffic areas like stadiums, airports, and so on.
Just make a big trough and make new friends.
Because men piss on the seat, and women get pissy about piss on the seat.
There’s a reason the seats are liftable. It’s to lift before you piss and if you pissed on the rim, then just use the nearby faucet to wash it down, then drop the seat back down when leaving.
The problem is not men, but people who don’t think of the next person using the thingy.I was in a hostel for multiple years and I used to was the toilet before and after the deed.
You should still have the standing to piss area elsewhere
It’s cute that you think women’s bathrooms aren’t an absolute train wreck.
Tell that to the women I work with that had us roll back the 12x gender neutral toilet stalls into 5x men + 5x female + 2x genger neutral. Top complaint was “using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting”. The second highest complaint was that it smells like someone poo’d in the toilet… which is a strange complaint for a toilet.
Would they rather the poop be out of the toilet? I am so confused lol
Although I do agree. Using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting. Also, using a stall after anyone who is not a man has used it is disgusting. (But only if they don’t keep it clean)
I went to a restaurant this week where the washroom was just one big room with full door stalls and a full door room the size of two stalls with a few urinals in it. No fear of pissing on the seat of you use a urinal. Also, just lift the seat?
You’re preaching to the chior. Try convincing the rest of the men in the world that they also can.
If you carry and deposit pollen - use the Bees, if you are laying eggs - use the Birds, else use the floor.
But bees also lay eggs, and birds also carry and deposit pollen
Also male birds don’t lay eggs 🥚🥚
And only the queen bee lays eggs, any bee out and foraging around is a sterile female.
Isn’t it mostly just hummingbirds that would get involved with pollen? Or are there others?
It’s not exclusively hummingbirds, there are a few others. The wikipedia pages on Ornithophily and Nectarivores have some info about this.
Wow never actually got the meaning:
According to tradition, “the birds and the bees” is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and results of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events. For instance, bees carry and deposit pollen into flowers, a visible and easy-to-explain parallel to fertilization. Female birds laying eggs is a similarly visible and easy-to-explain parallel to ovulation. Another interpretation of the bird laying the egg is childbirth, although that is not as common.
PS: left the links in this time, on iOS usually have to copy to PasteBoard to get plain text - just started happening in Voyager
Birds eat worms, so it’s down to sexual preference.
Birds also poop out the seeds they eat that helps spread them, while bees rub themselves all over the flower, covering themselves with pollen before moving on to the next flower.
Not sure that helps answer the question, though.
Oh, so I’m def a bee… I don’t know what that means for these signs tho.
Bees for pees, birds for tuds.
Can’t remember who originally said that but it had me creasing.
That reminds me of stingers for strings and wings for flings.
Used to hear it all the time got me cut up like what.
OP’ was actually meant to take a left, but instead got lost in the back corridors of the local zoo. Regardless of the which door they chose, it ended with a senior first aid officer and a school group being traumatised.
Women are Bees. Men are Birds. Arrhenotoky OP.
Of the 60,000 bees in a hive, almost 99% of them are female! Female honey bees, or worker bees, make all of the decisions in the hive and do all of the work. There are a couple hundred male bees in a hive, but they don’t do much but sit around and eat food.
Thats a little to common sense for the average American.
I’d wager bees are boys, for bathroom purposes, cause boys have a “stinger”
Maybe this isn’t in America.
That said, if it was in the UK, ‘birds’ would be for women, so the result would be the same.
I think it’s a play on words Bees -> Bs, B stands for Boy. Birds -> British slang for women.
Birds -> Bs, B stands for Boy…
I mean that if you say “Bees” out loud it sounds like “B’s”, as in the boy’s room.
I actually got that after I read my own post
But it did remind me of the joke that Quebec labels the cold water with C for cold and hot water with C for chaud
average American… for bathroom purposes,… boys have a “stinger”
Exhibit A!
I seriously don’t know what the hell the “Birds and the bees” even refers to beyond an olde movie cliche.
One has a stinger and one incubates eggs I guess?
Bees have stingers, birds have peckers…
Bees pollinate, birds lay eggs
I’m going in and committing to whatever I find inside.
