As someone who deals with this, thank you, Neo. I appreciate you saying it. I often wind up struggling to get a stall in a Broadway theatre restroom, and don't really feel I should have to fight for one against women who have their own bathroom.
As an aside, a funny story about the one and only time I met Sondheim:
I was in the bathroom at Joe's Pub and no one was around except for someone in the stall, and I was busting, so I tried to go at the urinal. Just as I was about to, a gentleman walked in and walked up to the one next to me. Well, I certainly couldn't pee NOW, not next to Stephen Sondheim who had just nodded at me. Instead, I pretended to finish and slowly washed my hands so that I could have the time to tell him how much his work meant to me. I was back in the loo 5 minutes later waiting for the stall. |
