This is something that I really wanted to share with everyone because I found it to be amusing and wonderful.
I was on my way to the bathroom at work last night when I noticed something that made me smile. The woman's sign on the bathroom had been altered in a way that wasn't noticable unless you payed attention.
You see, somebody had the brilliant idea to scratch the skirt off of the white humaniod so that the figure looked exactly the same as the one on the male's room sign. The truly amusing thing about this is the context of where the sign was. You see, I work in a gentlemen's club. (I work there wholly by choice.) However, this is often see as a place that's completely opressive towards women (I assure you, it's far from opressive). So that random little act that probably took only a few seconds seemed like such a very big thing when you're surrounded by topless women.
I'm not sure who exactly did this, but I'm glad they did.
What are your opinions on the bathroom signs with the pants man/skirt woman? Obviously you know my view since I was so pleased to see what they did to ours.
EDIT: I probably should mention that this was for the public bathroom. The dressing room is on the other side of the bar, and there's no way that any men could go in the dressing room without being noticed. The bathroom at hand is right next to the men's, and they are both right next to the bar.
Sorry, I should have specified that earlier.
