The French like Peculiar Bathrooms

and they prefer to share their toilets with the opposite sex. Bathrooms here are never consistent. Sometimes it's male/female, sometimes its male or female, sometimes the sink isn't in the same room as the toilet, and sometimes not even the toilet paper is in the same stall as you (NOTE: remember to grab the TP before you enter the stall and pull down your pants).
     During my first time at a pub, like any girl after one drink, I had to use the bathroom. I never really trust public restrooms, especially ones at clubs or bars or pubs, so I waited for my friends to go before I did to give me the diagnosis of the state of the bathroom. Is that weird? probably. So when two came back from the WC, they sat down and looked a bit perplexed. When they said the bathroom was shared, I didn't have to go that badly anymore. ha. Well by the end of the night, I needed to. Sure enough, in this dark, scuzzy room were two stalls and a urinal. Luckily, no dude had to go number 1 while i was in line. But really? I mean what if a guy meets a girl at a pub. and then he goes to the bathroom at some point in the night and she walks in to use the toilet, or mirror? Doesn't that kind of ruin a couple of things for them?
Other instances of this odd setup have been at rest stops. Our group had to use the same bathroom as our male teacher, male guide, and male bus driver. I mean, maybe I am being a little immature, but I am wrong to think that two separate bathrooms is the way to go? The weirdest instance I had with the bathroom was when I was at the Pompidou and I when I entered the - thank god, women's- bathroom, the girl in front of me grabbed some tissue against the wall before she stepped into her stall. So I, monkey see monkey do, grabbed some tissue as well and went in. Thank god for her, because there wasn't a spot on the wall for some TP to dish out.
And at our homestay apartments? Well, luckily for me, my toilet is in the same room as the sink. No dirty handle to worry about. However, lots of apartments I've been in have the sink in the shower room, separate from the toilet room. I wonder why they do this...
