Bee if you want to get stung, bird if you want to get shat on.
Either way, you're fucked.

Haha you’re right!
It's not gendered, it's birds for turds and bees for pees.

The sign in the right says "bees", but the picture shows a creature with eight legs, two body segments, and no wings. That's no bee, that's a spider!
First set is arena, third is the wings, the come out straight with no detents like the other six legs.
Oh shit you're right!

I've been stuck in this exact situation at a local pub. It's even worse when you've downed 3 pints so you're simultaneously drunk and been holding it for way too long cause you had to finish explaining a friend why Marx was right.
So fucking real
Drinking gives me the superpower of peeing anywhere with no shame.
Pissed in my first bush last summer because I was stupidly drunk . Then behind a dumpster and then in another bush. Diuretics mixed with alcohol are a removed.
This post made me realize, I've only ever heard "the birds and the bees" referenced, but never actually how it's applied during sex ed.
But uh, turns out this does not make any sense in that context either. It's just two separate examples to explain sexuality, so bees pollinating flowers and birds laying eggs. They're just used as examples, because they're visible in nature and somewhat resemble the mechanics of sex.
I always thought the bird part was related to plant reproduction, too. Like how birds eat fruit and shit the seeds out lol
They should have used the eggplants and the peaches. Before cell phone emojis that would have made things even more confusing. Then Piper Perry could do the putting the condom on the eggplant demonstration, and every boy could feel inadequate for the next several decades.

Plot twist: It's a trick, both rooms are full of wasps!
The gendered single person bathroom. I never understood those.
It's probably due to legal requirements. It'd be unisex if it could, but if not, pick a random gender for the bathroom to identify as. Pretty ironic.
I've heard reasons for it like "women's bathroom needs places to dispose of pads/tampons but, like, it's a box on the wall. Put one in both.
Also heard reasons along the lines of "men are faster at using the bathroom so why should we need to share with women" (even though with single bathrooms the washing your hands part is the time bottleneck, not the peeing part) or just general disgust at the idea of sharing a bathroom with the other gender (have heard it from both genders).
women’s bathroom needs places to dispose of pads/tampons but, like, it’s a box on the wall
Isn't it just a trash can? Why does it need to be on the wall?

“She’s the bees knees” or “look at that sexy bird” I’m still confused after writing it out. Does the stinger go into the cloaca? If so, I’d guess the bee is the man… but then bees are mostly female. I fucking give up. I’d piss in the alley.

If that was Poland it would be pretty understandable since nearly every bee is female* while "ptak" (bird) is widely used synonym for penis.
*i never met anyone who wouldn't know this, also even the word "pszczoła" (bee) is always feminine in language
It's hilarious that the anglo-saxon explanation yields the polar opposite.
TIL anglos seem to have children by pollinating.
Birds lay eggs and bees pollinate.
For the traditional story, birds are girls, bees are boys.
Hence the common UK slang of calling girls "birds" or in the US "chicks".
Ironic given that bee sexual reproduction is probably the least analogous to humans in the entire animal kingdom and the VAST majority of bees that you encounter outside the nest (and the only bees with stingers" are sterile female worker bees.
Some birds pollinate aswell. Bess lay eggs aswell.
Pollinate… That makes sense. I always thought guys were the bees cuz they jam their stinger in.
Shit outside the doors as a protest against unclear signage
Just pick a random one. They are nonbinary as far as I am concerned.
Only thing you can do is crack a door and take a peak.
Bees start swarming out.
Aliens from outer space that resemble birds and bees have recently infiltrated earth
and are slowly but surely taking over earth's restrooms.
You are neither their species, so it's best to turn around and go home.
British 1960s slang for a woman is "bird". So, men are bees.
Almost guaranteed that every bee you've seen in the wild is female. So, women are bees
Bees pollinate (boys), birds lay eggs (girls).
Those are both things only the females of the species do
Worker bees (which are female) go outside and pollinate; female birds lay eggs.
