How do you feel about them? Call me old-fashioned but personally I’m kind of creeped out.

Most places I see have three. One usually designated as family.

Folks who want gender privacy can still have it. Those that don't care can use the third bathroom.
The unisex bathroom I walked into was all stalls so even there, there was some privacy.

Yeah newer ones maybe. I think all the Ones that have urinals should just stay where they are and not be replaced

Replace "reading a book" with "looking at crap on his phone" and I'll agree with you. :D

I only bug him if he's been in there for eons and I'm afraid he might be dead or something. Otherwise, I enjoy my time alone while he's in there as well. :sunglasses:

My first wife would shout through the door because the smell was escaping into the surrounding rooms. She would say "Are hatching it out?" :)

Yes, in northern Minnesota, in the winter. It makes for a very quick trip and in the winter there is no smell. Everything is frozen. And so are you if you take too long.

My grandmother grew up in rural Saskatchewan during the Depression. No running water. No bathrooms. No heat. Nothing. Dirt floors.

She used to tell me horror stories about having to go to the outhouse in the middle of the night in the dead of winter (Saskatchewan gets really, really, really cold too). They had a rope attached from the house to the outhouse so that you could find your way through the blizzardy snow and not get lost in the wilderness. There'd be all kinds of wild animals and giant spiders watching you pee. They even kept a rifle out there just in case things got too hairy with the animals. One time she said she looked up and there was an owl staring at her through the peeky hole at the top of the outhouse door, like, just waiting for her to leave. Oh and the bestest part - you'd have to wipe yourself with pages from an old Sears catalogue. They were like newsprint back then. Then grab the rope and make your way back to your shack with the dirt floors to heat up a brick by the fire to keep your feet from freezing while you slept. I used to love listening to these stories - it sounds like a completely different world.

I'll take unisex bathrooms over that any day of the week.

We can have separate bathrooms today too.
