Yes. At a U2 concert about 15 years ago. I used the men's bathroom because the women's one was way too long a line.

Oh and some places that have only one men's and one women's private bathroom, I'll use the men's one if the women's is being used. (Provided the men's looks clean enough.)

Yes! Any number of times. I can remember the women taking over the men's at the Manhattan Country Club during the WTA tennis tournament there and the last time was when our Curves went to the Dr Phil Show. There was a limited amount of time to use the restrooms and vastly more women and we did take over for awhile.

I haven't but I've seen others do it. I was in the Men's room at a major event. Even the Men's room was pretty busy but before I went in, I noticed the line-up for the Women's room was simply enormous.

All of a sudden, I heard a woman call in from the door: "Sorry guys but we're coming in!". In came three women, all laughing, including one who was very pregnant.

The way they announced it was very funny. All the guys were very good natured and more than happy to let them go to the head of the line (for the stalls of course). They were in and out of there in less than three minutes (and the women were very happy when they left).

YES
interesting note here: when a co-worker at lockheed had a sex change operation, the company made a separate bathroom for him/her.

Yes, absolutely, as long as they are private single unit bathrooms! Unisex, here we go!

I remember the first time: arrived at a restaurant at the same time as a tourist bus. After looking at the 24+ women lined up for the ladies room, I asked if anyone was in the men's and, a little shy about it, went on in, telling the other women to alert a man if he showed up that a woman would be coming out.

Not so shy anymore, just practical. Long line at ladies room? I take pride in being the inspiration for use of men's room. Knock on door, no one there, go on in...and soon the ladies room line breaks in half and women follow after me. I don't know what they think they are going to find in there, except a bathroom available for use! Most recently did it during a special event at a Boston restaurant. Speaker about to start, long line, I got the line broken in two and everyone seated so speaker could start.

Yes, at work we had one man in a building full of women. So, we all used the other bathroom.

Yes and I agree with Saxy about how men's bathrooms aften are...uh...dirtier and smellier. Oh, and at the brewery we go to sometimes I've popped into the men's bathroom because they have a chalkboard to write stuff on in there. I went in and wrote that it would be cool if the women's bathroom had one too :-)
