Anarchist answer: They're both unisex - bees for pees, birds for turds.

Hmm... You might be onto something here

Yes, this establishment's blacklist.

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.

[–] [email protected] 118 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The only bees with stingers are the female ones, though.

[–] [email protected] 102 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

Wtf

Alternate comment: I love how you need to internalize 100 years of sexism before you can relieve yourself

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Harmless old slang terms are now sexist. Got it.

Although almost all bees you actually ever see are female

You're using logic in a situation where someone has to pee badly.

Find a member of staff and ask where the "human bathrooms" are. Don't let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Look them intensely in the eye as piss streams down your leg to establish dominance.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Better piss on their leg to mark your territory

Slang for women is “chicks” and a bit more archaic, “birds” too.

Bees have a…stinger? Dunno about that one.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aren't most bees female though?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

They are. Hence confusion with the signage.

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

If you carry and deposit pollen - use the Bees, if you are laying eggs - use the Birds, else use the floor.

Bees - Male, Birds - Female

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago (2 children)

But bees also lay eggs, and birds also carry and deposit pollen

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.

Bees for pees, birds for tuds.

Can't remember who originally said that but it had me creasing.

Birds eat worms, so it's down to sexual preference.

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.

I seriously don't know what the hell the "Birds and the bees" even refers to beyond an olde movie cliche.

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"

this is how i feel when a website presents me with a gender prompt with only two options

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Or when a webform requires an honorific and none of them is suitable. (I'll usually pick "Honorable")
