grammar - "A things thing" or "a thing thing"?

This has been confusing me for quite a long time, when it comes to noun+noun form of compound nouns there are words which I see that have plural in the first noun but some stay as singular.




Some examples of compounds with plural first nouns are "admissions office" and "ladies room".
Is there a rule for when the first noun should be plural or singular?
