  1. There are no restrooms in Washington DC metro stations. I had to venture into the city on Saturday to find a bathroom. Found a Macy’s. It was close enough. What I’m mad about is that in DC you get charged your fare when you leave the station rather than the way it works in Europe where you pay for a distance up front, so I basically paid $2 to use the bathroom.

    1. @zeldatra Man I also dislike our general lack of public restrooms in public places.

      1. @scribus since I did end up paying the fare, I guess it’s by design in this case. DC metro has a $2 maximum fare on weekends, and you only pay when you actually leave the metro system, so if I had just held it all the way back home I’d have gone from the far end of one line in Maryland to the far end of another line in Virginia and only paid $2 for the roughly hour and a half journey. Instead I paid four dollars because I had to leave that one station for five minutes.

      2. @scribus In my city there are some but you have really look for them, as most of them are hidden. I used google maps today to look up where they are and I'm surprised that there are more than I thought. Even a place I regularly drove by had one and I didn't know until now. There are no big signs or like that. Most of them are near parks and they are hidden behind bushes.

        1. @adiwan And you're sure that isn't just sneaking off behind the bushes? lol

          1. @scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.
