A brief yet blunt thought...

Since we're all about changing the definition of words -- one of the best examples of this was from the wicked witch of the west coast, er, Nancy Pelosi -- like "consumer option," here's a few pet peeves that I would like addressed.

If any public place has a room called a "rest room," it should contain a comfy couch against the opposite wall from the urinals that will avoid getting pissed on. Why the hell else would you call such a room a "rest room" if you can't rest? According to my beloved wife and soon-to-be mother of my child[ren], many of the places that she has ventured that call themselves "rest rooms" have a lounge-type area, from which you actually travel into the area containing the toilets and stalls. I find the fact that men do not have an equal and adequate representation of this same sort of room to be unfair and quite sexist... Not to mention that the man-folk were not made aware of this "flat space" technology that provides the women-folk with at least three times the square footage in their "rest room" as the men.

Along these same lines, if a place calls itself a "bath room" then by God there needs to be an actual bath in it... Even if it's a fucking bird bath! I swear, it's the same shit only different.

My wife suggested that perhaps public places should call their facilities "The Loo." To me, this is totally unacceptable, because the only way that such a place would be considered "The Loo" is if I walked in and there was a guy standing around handing out hot towels... And his name would have to be Lou... You know, like Louis? Don't piss on his shoes, neither! He'd be liable to plant it back in your derriere!

Places like this should be named properly. "I'm going to the toilet" pretty much means that when I walk into the room, there will be at least one to greet me. This politically-correct horse-shit only offends my sense of what is truth. I don't leave a piss because I want to rest, nor do I leave a piss because I want to bathe. I leave a piss in the toilet, because that's where it belongs. In other words, there is the truth and then there is every other way to circumvent said truth. Use the toilet and quit dicking around! Shit or get off the pot...

    Well shit.  No wait.  OK, yeah I admit I've pondered very similar things myself.  Driveway for instance ... you park in the damn thing, you don't drive in it.  OK, perhaps if you have an exceedingly long driveway then it would be correct, but if you don't, for the love of crap ... it's not a drive way!

    ROFLMAO ~ Fab post, seriously good.
     
    Actually in Australian it has NEVER been a rest room or a bathroom its ALWAYS been a toilet.
     
    In certain places like Gyms/pools here they have rest rooms where there is in fact a room with a couch, magazines and a small coffee table with water, then the toilets, then the shower stalls and a steem room, rest room indeed!
     
    The Loo, really now thats a favourite little idiom we use to be lazy and crude, could mean the garden bed outside the loo!

    Okay, Hege, I'll bite. Would that be your "parking space?" Also, what do you call the center turn lane on most city streets that most women use as their own personal runway? To me, that could easily take on the title "drive way" or "feminine acceleration lane," but that's a whole other post...

    Lucy, I am happy to say that you have opened my eyes to at least one thing I now like about your colonial island. I'm not going to go walkabout because of it, but it brings me one step closer to liking Australia again... Especially after "Quigley Down Under" and Russell Crowe pretty much torpedoed my liking for the place. I still like it much more than France, though.

    OMG Java, when I see people driving in the center turn lanes it makes me want to rip them out of their car and beat them.  Sure, the lane is there for convenience ... just not THAT kind of convenience.

    I saw some ass-hat drive down the center lane for eight whole blocks to reach the turn lane at the intersection ahead. There was one car in the right lane!

    I look forward to self-guided cars... And ray guns... I really want my ray gun... It's 2009, damnit!!
