22. You have them in boys' bathrooms

In case the only girls' bathroom is out of service. Some school buildings have only one bathroom per gender inside, and girls must use the boys' bathrooms if their restroom is closed.

Had it happen at one of my son's schools when a vandal attacked the girls' bathroom, as in shattering the toilets in them. So the girls were using the boys restroom until the toilets got replaced. The reason they couldn't simply let her go to another building was because all exterior doors automatically locked from the outside when classes were in session (safety feature), and so getting to a loo elsewhere meant keeping someone available with keys to get her into another building, then back into her own building. Easier to let the girls and guys share, for the time being. They had surprisingly few problems from that.
