In Santa Monica California, if a restaurant has marked ladies and mens rooms may a man use the ladies room if it is not occupied?

I don’t think so, you may find you self in a heap of trouble, I may be wrong, but if I walked in the ladies room and you were standing in it, well let just say it would not be nice. And I am by no means a nasty person, but I would be yelling.

I ask the question because I was waiting for the men's room and a bus boy at a restaurant saw the line and just headed in to the ladies room. I mentioned this to the hostess and she told me she didn't have a problem with it.

She may have not, but think about it, someone sends thier little girl in to use the bathroom and you think no one is in there but they are, what would happen. I dont know what to tell you. I would have been highly upset, and like I said I am not a cranky person but I would taken offence to it.

Then she got something wrong with her. Thats just rude. I hope someone beat his grapes in. THey oughta take him and tie him up by his feet and spin him around a few times till he gets dizzy and then throw their spiked heels at him.

The better question is............

Why would you care? Further, why would go out of your way to get the busboy in trouble?

I will get around to answering your question as soon as I tackle all of the other ridiculous non-issues in my life such as: how to remove "under god" from the pledge of alligiance; how to remove the nativity scenes in front of churches around Christmas; how to change the name of the Washington Redskins to something more PC.

PS. If I was the busboy, I would have just cut in front of you, and used the men's room.

You have obviously never worked in a restaurant. I bet the same people that whine and cry about the busboy using the ladies room would be screaming bloody murder if their food was delayed because their waiter was in the bathroom line for 20 minutes. If there is a closing door, and it is a single occupancy bathroom, there is nothing wrong.....much less ILLEGAL.....in the busboy using it.

Hi, slapper,
Usually, there is no state, local, or county ordinances against using one restroom or the other.
Normally, in an "emergency" situation, have to go now, it's best to ask someone to stand outside the bathroom door, to tell a lady that it's an emergency and a man is in the ladies' room.
Or, it can work the other way, as I have seen it. I have also stood outside the Mens' Restroom, and told other men that a lady had to use the bathroom, an emergency.
It's all in how it's handled, not to cause any hard feelings among others.
I do wish you the best.

I have done it before. There was a huge cue for the ladies toilets and I was dying for the toilet - so I went into the Mens because it was vacent. I had a friend stand at the door until I came out, to make sure no men came in though.

Oh I have done it before, not in a resturaunt or store but at a nightclub plenty of times, Usually there are only two stalls and a huge line waiting for the woman's room where with a guys room its only like three but I don't usually go in by myself I go in with another girl, that mayb e alittle dangerous to go in by myself. When you have to go you have to go. If I have to go that bad Im going in where I can, as long as the men don't care and there usually all to happy to let me and a friend in ahead then I don't see a problem. I can't wait in the woman's line for 10 minutes when i have to go that bad.

Im sure many woman can relate
