I can't see or hear that phrase now without being reminded of an incident involving a couple I knew a few years back.
A big group of us were getting together in a pub in Manchester one weekend. He and She had been conducting an internet romance for some time but had not yet consumated it.
At some point in the afternoon, having been in the pub for 3 or 4 beers, they snuck off without the rest of us noticing.
A few minutes later the barman comes over and says to us :
"'scuse me folks, but I thought you'd like to know I've just seen your two mates on the CCTV going into a cubicle together in the ladies loo's."
This was met by a few seconds of incredulity, followed by the realisation that they had in fact both dissapeared and the bars mans explanation that they dont have the camera's viewing the cubicles themselves, just the main toilet area to deter drug dealers which is why he'd been able to see them.
On their return a few minutes after that they were met with loud cheering, whistling, jokes about making sure they flushed the evidence and the news that a couple of us had nipped across the road to a convieniant internet cafe in order to post this particularly juicy piece of gossip on every forum or bulletin board we knew they had accounts on
It became common practice from then on for the phrase "Get a room!" to be replaced by "Get a cubicle!" and it's still what I think of whenever I hear it

Many years ago I was working in a pub where a couple were reported going for it in the Ladies. It was a small pub, and a comparatively quiet night, so we went round every table telling all the customers to cheer, stamp their feet, whistle, and so on when the couple emerged
When the whole pub erupted into applause as they emerged, they looked extremely embarassed, and left rapidly via the back yard
