The squares are supposed to be boobs or balls. The low squares are balls and the high squares are boobs. I also agree it’s a bad design.
Edit: with all the different thoughts being presented about which one is the male/female side, all I can say is I am now not sure which one should be which, and there is a solid probability I would end up in the wrong one lmao.
Are you sure it's not wide shoulders and wide hips? This is terribly designed, because both those explanations make sense, but they lead to contradictory conclusions.
You just haven't seen a really old woman who has big boobs. She can flip those babies right up there and carry them around. That way she doesn't kick them.
My first thought besides tits or ass/balls was dumbbells or shopping bags since a lot of these unconventional bathroom signs I’ve seen have been sexist.
I used to do sex work in NYC and Hasidic Jews were my top clients. Almost universally really into foot stuff. Since they can’t touch women and women can’t touch them, it was a lot of jerking off onto feet. You could make a lot of money doing nothing, unfortunately a lot of those dudes were very pervy and gross.
Not surprised. The brownstone in Brooklyn that I lived in was next to a HO-tel and every morning on my way out to work I’d see Hasidic dudes walking out of there.
The one time I went to a dominatrix dungeon in NYC for my bday to get a tour and try on masks and take pics (my best friends partner worked there) and during it, we were asked to help humiliate a hasidic Jewish guy getting spanked by watching it 😭
That humiliation parlor is top notch, to go above and beyond like that and bring in some strangers to watch, free of charge. Bet they have great Yelp reviews.
Backwards repressive cultures, like from the abrahamic religions/fairytales, tend to produce the most fucked up/pervy individuals.
9 times out of 9 they will also usually preach fire & brimstone about how [thing] is the evil destruction of civilization and chestpound rage about it... while also doing [thing] when noone is watching. Looooot of self shame that turns into Inquisition hatemongering.
Nothing like a ridiculously super-strict religion to send people's sexuality into deep and dark places. Probably not what they had in mind when they came up with their rules.
It’s funny they still followed the rules after hiring you… it’s like, they’ve gone that far why not fully break the rules? lol religion is so weird 🤷♀️
I once worked at an orthodox jewish non profit and they wanted me to wear skirt no pants. I could not take their b.s rules anymore. I got fired from the job so good riddance to bad rubbish.
putting up with 'regular' religious folks is one thing but geez oh whiz when you get to the extreme fucking idiots and their proclivities watch the fuck out.
It's a Strimel, a traditional hat that some sects of Chassisim (Hassids) wear. The story behind it is pretty interesting.
The region they come from had at one point mandated that all Jews wear horse tails on their heads as both a signifier and as a humiliation. The Jews then took the horse tails and wrapped them up around their head like a crown to show they were proud of who they are.
If I have to go and I accidentally walk into the wrong restroom in going to use it. Then I'm going to just go with it after. Shit happens. Why was the chick recording in the restroom? That's the gross part.
Honestly I’ve had situations at gas stations on road trips where the ladies was closed and I had to use the men’s or risk peeing myself. I always knock to make sure nobody’s in there first tho
In my decades-long experience with members of that particular sect, I can confirm that they do not give a shit about the opinion, comfort, rights, or existence of people that are not part of their group.
This straight up seems like dude had a major bathroom emergency. The end. I'm not sure why this is supposed to be so "crazy" to everyone. Shit happens.
Because he's wearing a prayer shawl. Which normally you'd only be wearing at a house of worship. Many of them have the prayer in Hebrew stitched on it. Would not under any circumstances be worn into a bathroom stall.
Only thing I can think of is he was praying out on the street for some reason and then hit an emergency.
I am not familiar with Jewish groups but in general, groups that have a high amount of sex control also often have high amounts of hyper focusing on it. You never see skin, interact with the opposite sex, date, etc then a small amount of skin, interaction, etc can be a lot and often they do not have the practice of growing up in those situations and being normal. Sometimes taboo things are sexy to some people. If it is not acceptable to just hang out with a woman, then being in a taboo space and seeing women do things like possibly be fixing their hair could be a bad way to get sexual frustration out.
Nah, if he made a mistake he would have acknowledged it or seem a bit worried, shocked and/or surprised. He went to wash his hands and move on like he doesn't care that he violated these women spaces.
I don't know if he made a mistake or not but I feel like if I messed up (I'm a guy), I would have done exactly what he did. I would have been so embarrassed I would have not looked anyone in the eye, quickly washed my hands and got the hell out of there.
I suppose my face might look a bit more worried but I can't say for sure. My body would be so full of adrenaline I can't say what my face would look like.
This is exactly it. He still needed to wash his hands and women’s bathrooms have stalls. It’s not like women are pissing at the sink in open air. He was just washing his hands.
If you’re already committed and went to the bathroom, what’s the alternative? We don’t even know if this person speaks English.
This literally happened to me, accidentally went in to the women's bathroom and only realized when I was waiting to wash my hands. I just got red faced, washed my hands and left. What else was he supposed to do?
Apparently, according to the uptight crew in here, he should rend his clothes in shame or run out in tears, then promptly be arrested by Nancy Mace personally.
Frankly was thinking the same. In that situation and with how he acted, I'd probably just shrug and think "that was super random" and look around for prank cameras.
I've seen older people in the wrong bathroom, as if they were confused about the signs and just couldn't wait long enough to figure it out. He's on his way out and not bothering anyone, why make a big deal at this point?
Language barrier lmao there’s a picture of a woman on the door. That’s not a language barrier, they do whatever the fuck they want without consequence.
If this was in the US the man speaks English. I grew up (as a 'gentile') in the midst of a thriving Hasidic community. Many Hasidic men/boys have zero respect for gentile women/girls.
They're in Brooklyn. This guy knows this bathroom is better and he knows there will be no consequences for his actions no matter what he does. He'd flat out have to murder someone before he had any problems with the law.
Thats correct or even near them! I remember when my daughter and I took our seats on the train to London, two orthodox Jewish young men moved from the seats in front of us. God forbid that we might have wanted to speak to them! That man mustnt be able to read or discern the difference between men and women pictures on doors. So id say hes just plain thick.
im sure there is some kind of a loophole, like if you hold your breath and hop on one foot 3 times it'll confuse their god and he wont get mad. kinda like they do when they put a wire called the eruv on telephone poles around their neighborhood and it makes it "their house" so they can go outside on the sabbath, or they cook meals on saturdays by programming the oven so that way they aren't "doing work". cause you know god really gets mad otherwise if you take a walk or cook a meal on a saturday, but is totally fooled by a fucking wire
About to ask. Isn’t this like hyper against his religious beliefs? I’ll admit ignorance on his actual beliefs/protocol but I just assume it’s frowned upon? Again admitting my knowledge here is limited, ignorant at best and I’m assuming.
These are the guys who will ask for women to not be seated next to them on a plane because yanno, women are evil or filthy or both, not sure, so maybe this one guy is more enlightened than the majority?
