While going to the gents, I met a couple of male colleagues deep in a discussion. Out of sheer mischief, i said "should we stop holding discussions in the gents? only the ladies do that. and we are real men."
That brought a roar of laughter as each guy contributed his bit.
"maybe we should bring a sofa in here: then we could sit down as we disclose our thoughts".
"maybe we need to have a better mirror here"
.. etc..
That encounter brought back a long buried memory:
Earlier in my software engineering days, I had the chance to join a firm where there was a "group toliet visit" practice. Now - this would be fairly normal if its just a practice among the females, but apparently in that strange place, it was the customary practice for males to head off to the gents in crowds too.
.. I'm relieved to report that the guys didn't hold hands as they wander off to the gents, but it was altogether a very strange experience. imagine that..
I can only hope the germans don't have any like-scandalous habits that I have yet to discover..
