Public Bathrooms

Post » Sun Jul 11, 2010 8:43 am

Nah, if I have to go I have to go. I've manage to do my business without any bathroom at all, I can handle a dirty public one. The bathrooms at my uni are all relatively clean anyway and I've got no problem using them, except when our pub is open, but it's more a question of crowding than cleanliness at that point :P

I've been to a few horrible ones, mainly at music festivals. At the one I've been to three times now (Hove) they'd nailed urinals to the walls of several buildings near the stages, thugh away from the public eye (Nobody would have cared, believe me) just so people wouldn't have to piss all over the woods (Again, nobody cared). I used those frequently between concerts, there were also porta-johns, but all of them were abysmal. I could describe it, but I don't feel like forcing any of you clean vomit off your keyboards, it was horrifying. Me and a friend got a weeks ferry pass and just went in to town every other day to wash our hair at a hairdresser, eat and then do our business at a public bathroom in the local mall. It worked well enough, we weren't the only ones with that idea though.

Most public bathrooms around here are fine though, maybe I'm just not picky about it, but I haven't noticed that many horrible ones around.
At my old high school, people used to push excrement up the taps. Never attempt to wash your hands in there. My friend tried to drink out of one once, we had to physically restrain him.

Another time, someone smeared it on the walls in readable text.

...I'm at a loss for words here, I can't even turn this into a stupid joke...what...what the [censored]?

The worst ever public toilet I ever saw was in Sakai, Osaka, Japan.

My host family and I went down to play some football at a park near their house, and the youngest son in the family dared me to go look at the toilet there (or at least I think he did, I don't speak Japanese very well, and he didn't speak English very well :D). So I walked over, host family giggling behind me, and a the first thing that tipped me off that I was about to see something terrible was the horrid buzzing sound the small outhouse was making.

Slowly I opened the door, unleashing the millions of flies that had made their home inside (at this point my host family was rolling on the ground laughing, including the ridiculously clean and polite grandmother). But the flies weren't the worst of it, not by a long shot. It was a western style toilet, that looked like some one had taking to it with a sledgehammer, cracking one side clean off. What remained of the bowl was awash in feces and maggots. The breaking of the toilet bowl must have been quite powerful as the walls and ceiling were splattered in all manner of horrible things.

On top of the cistern was a very large hentai magazine, whose pages had been torn up and plastered over the walls, not in some haphazard way, but in a way that you'd imagine a serial killers bedroom would look. The elder son in the family drew my attention to the rubbish bin out side the toilet, filled from top to bottom with hentai magazines, soiled tissues, and the real kicker, a large, dead, partially burnt rat sitting on top.

I was thankful to return home, to the magic that is the normal household Japanese toilet, heated seat and all.

I think I need to go cry in the shower for a while...

Just went into the public mens room at the mall again 2 hours ago. I was amazed at how clean it was. Then I went into the stall, you someone forgot to flush... Man that was the biggest log I've ever seen in my life, I can't believe that came out of a human being. It was must have been there for a while too since it was covered in flies.

First time using the school bathroom it said on the wall, beware toilets sound like a bowling alley when flushed. I flushed and it sounded like someone hit a strike at the bowling alley. LOL. There was a bomb threat above it saying the school will blow up in 2012 when Chinese invade. Another day I went in there and there was a picture of a black man with a afro and it said "toilet is closed".

I once saw someone draw a 2 demons or something on the wall so that when you look at it, it looks like 2 demons are standing and posing near the toilet like its some kind of throne.

I thought it was a nice bit of art.

Stuff like that is nice to have in a stall. I wish more people did that instead of smearing feces on the walls.

The best part is, it was discovered by the very prim and proper head of student liason. He described it as "Think of the worst thing anybody could do in a bathroom..."

I get horrible stage fright in them. If someone is in there with me, I cant go. I could always use a stall, but I feel stupid when I do.

I always thought you were a woman with your profile name. Then I checked your profile. :P

But yeah who else has had someone try to talk with them at the urinal? I can think of 2 occasions, one person was talking in a language I couldn't pin down, the other seemed like a frat boy kind of guy.

Yes, I only ever use them to do number 1. I would rather burst than do number 2 in a public restroom. Yuck. I also have the frights it seems so can only go to the bathroom in stalls haha.

That is why if you have to squeeze one out its best to go to a hotel, or some place that would have clean restrooms. Not a busy place like a mall, airport, truck stop, restaurant.

Unfortunately I've had some bad public restroom experiences. Since i haven't been in a male one, I don't know which is generally worse. But I assure you, women can be utterly disgusting.

Things I have found:
Toilet paper with.. discharge.. on it, spread across everywhere possible
Blood
Poop balls on the ground (seriously)
Sprayed diarrhea on the walls, floor, and toilet
Piss all over the place
Pubic hairs rampant
Boogers and snot wiped on the walls
Pads/tampons (used)

Then that's just in the stall.. most of the same things are found in/on the sinks somehow, plus bugs and other critters of unknown origin. I think the worst thing I've seen was an old discarded pair of underwear on the floor of the stall that had lice roaming through it.

And of course the smell.. how can you forget the smell t_t

Sometimes I can get a nice bathroom, but that's very, very rare.

I've pretty much seen all that and worse in the men's room. I've been in the women's bathroom a few times when I used to work as a janitor. It was a lot cleaner than the mens room and it smelled nicer. The mens room always smells like either urine, sweat, feces, or a combination of the three. The only time I've been in a nice smelling men's room was after I cleaned it.

...Oh my...

I've never seen an... abomination like that in all my years. I mean, I've seen myriad disgusting images, turds on the floor, but... who'd be so filthy, so... beneath animalistic, as to do that?

I... my high school bathrooms bathrooms... people will put urine-soaked toilet paper on the walls, almost bleed out over the trash containers, take a dump in the urinal, etc. etc.

But grabbing a handful of your own excretion, then shoving it up a small, probably fungus-filled tap, because you think it'd be funny if someone else hypothetically got your [censored] on their hands, a "victory" you won't even get to see...

See, at least with monkeys, when they hurl poop, they see it hit something. This... this is hurling poop into an existential void of possibility.
