Crazy Bear Bar
"Oh, is this the ladies'?""That's right."
"Oh, it must be this door then..."
"No, that's the kitchen."
"Where's the gents then? The waitress said it was over here..."
"It's through this wall."
The woman started pressing her hands against the wall. I regarded her with suspicion, thinking that she was perhaps taking the piss. Suddenly, the wall gave way and I walked through.
"Thanks!" I said
I walked into what was basically a large mirrored box, which is no place for someone who has been drinking all evening, let me tell you. No matter which direction I looked, all I could see was me standing there, looking bewildered. Water started cascading down one of the walls. I had found the urinals. After relieving myself against the mirrored waterfall, I stuck my hands through a large hole in the wall on the other side of the room. More water appeared from above. I washed my hands, somehow found the exit, and left.
"Liv! You have to go to the gents here! They're fucking crazy!"

I'm all for innovative design, but when it comes to having a wee, it's nice to know where you're at. Sounds like it would be far to easy to commit an embarassing fauz pas in those trendy bogs if you ask me. There can't be many places you can look if you want avoid staring at a reflection of some other bloke's knob. Urgh.
I've also been in toilets that were so mirrored I didn't know where to go or what to do when I got there. It's an interesting study on the way we have been architectuirally conditioned over the years. I once went to the loo in a clients house that was the size of my living room. I sat on the pan and couldn't wee because the room was so big it felt all wrong. I assume that weeing on a mirror would have the same effect. It's a no-no in my book.
Crikey! Sounds like you stepped 20 years into the future or something.
Are you sure all those mirrors weren't actually those sneaky two-way surveilance mirrors and everyone in the bar could see you?
I've often wondered why people don't install urinals at home.
If I had one, it would be a waterfall system like the one described. Rach, make it so.
I was expecting a punchline... 'and would you know it, I wee-ed inside a newly unveiled £500K fountain while the sculptor looked on...'
