Worst Public Bathrooms

[Trillest]

Public bathrooms. We all have to use them at some point. Some are worse and nastier than others. Here's my worst experience: I was at a state park, and I had to take a sh*t. Like really bad. So I asked a park ranger where the bathroom was, and he pointed me in the direction of the parking lot.

 

Confused, I jogged along the trail and when I got there, I realized the "bathroom" was just a port-a-potty sitting in the corner of the parking lot. You'd think a state park would be able to afford actual bathrooms with, you know, running water. Anyways, the port-a-potty looked very shabby and worn-down, and my my expectations were very low as I opened the door,

 

The smell was awful, as is the case with most port-a-potties, there was no toilet paper, next to the toilet was a huge spider sitting in a web, and there were several holes in the roof and along the back. The lack of maintenance shocked me. I don't know anybody who would be able to do their business in an environment like that.

 

Instead of using that sh*thole, I went into the woods surrounding the parking lot, dug a hole, dropped the kids off, and then covered the hole. It felt so wonderful to be relieved of the massive dump, and to know I didn't have to use the port-a-potty from hell. I haven't been back to that state park since.

 

Now, share your own worst public bathroom experiences!

There you go

[TECHN9CiAN]

You wont find nastier bathrooms than in american truck stops. The worst one was one that had the entire wall behind the toilet and the toilet itself sprayed with dry sh*t.

 

Ive also walked into bathrooms where you will find truckers almost fully naked bathing from the sink, splashing all over the place. f*ckin redneck truckers are the filthiest animals you will find in american truck stop bathrooms.

Those situations make you wonder what the hell the person was thinking. They couldn't wait for their ass to reach the toliet seat before they started sh*tting? Some people are so f*cking nasty.

@ray: those drivers just dont care and have no respect, thats all. And truck stops offer showers, but some truckers are just too cheap to pay and will bathe using the same sink where others will wash their coffee mugs or brush their teeth, in the same place some nasty trucker washed his sweaty balls. Gross.

 

This type of public bathroom behavior is inexcusable.

[paperbagdude]

Since I don't visit major cities, I don't get to experience public restrooms too often. I'm really just a country boy that sh*ts in the woods.

 

However, there was this one time I went to a mart with my mom. I had to pee and instead of going outside, I went to the bathroom.

 

The toilet didn't smell or well; that bad and there was no sh*t hanging up the walls or anything. No, what really made this very bathroom so sh*tty was the lightning.

A strong tone of yellow was emitted from the light bulbs. It made me sick. My skin literally turned light-gray in the light. It's not like something that bothers me a lot, but damn it sucked.

 

According to some people I know, the yellow light is apparently there to make junkies go crazy when they 'fix' themselves.

[K20]

when we was kids there was a public toilet next to a park. was in the state like the OP's. but sh*t over the walls and needles everywhere. it closed about 15 years ago, boarded up. and stayed that way for 10 years. demolished about 5 years back. was really in a bad state, the smell was strong as you walk passed it.

 

now that its cleaned up its lightened the surrounding area up a lot.

[Algonquin Assassin]

From what I've experienced the worst are usually located in parks and inner city ones and although not "public" persay I always avoided highschool toilets unless it was absolutely necessary.

I can agree when my mom does road trips and we had to stop for gas at this truck station one time.... Two words Awful Experience

Not sure if many people know about the etiquette involved with Muslims when it comes to bathrooms but it's pretty strict, especially when it comes to public bathrooms.

I'm not entirely clear on all the rules they have to follow, but I went to a trade school downtown in the city I live in and because Montreal is mixed with so many diverse ethnicities a fare amount of Muslims were in my school and let me tell you the amount of sh*t covered toilets, floors, walls was unf*cking real. Alot of it had to do with bathroom etiquette involved with Muslim religion, something to do with them not being allowed to sit where another man has deficated or something like that.

It got to the point where the school put up signs with diagrams on you weren't suppose to hover over the toilet, stand on the seat. I used to have a picture of it I really wish I could show it to get a better idea of it.

sh*t was f*cking ridiculous.

[Reformed Squid]

Probably not where you'd expect the worst bathroom in the world to be, but my worst experience would have to be at the public bathroom at Mirror Lake, Yosemite. There wasn't sh*t on the walls or anything, but mother of god, the smell... I've smelled some pretty nasty sh*t, but this place smelled like it was on top of a thousand decomposing bodies. This wasn't even a port-a-potty; it was a full fledged bathroom. The smell was just so bad you had to hold your breath to avoid vomiting.

[Trillest]

From what I've experienced the worst are usually located in parks and inner city ones and although not "public" persay I always avoided highschool toilets unless it was absolutely necessary.

The bathrooms in my high school were terrible as well. There would always be puddles of piss right next to the toliet, just because some dickweeds couldn't control their aim for more than 5 seconds, offensive and immature words scratched on the stall walls, and the worst of all was the toliet seat that was covered in dry sh*t for the whole year! No joking. The janitors didn't seem to give a f*ck how unsanitary the bathrooms were. Lazy bastards.

[Killerdude]

There was this little resveration town in Northern Ontario, Called Upsala, It's literally a Gas station, Barn and what looks like a community center. f*cking washroom in the gas station was like something out of a horror movie...

 

sh*t smeared on the walls and ceiling.

sh*t handprints.

Light flickering.

No running water.

No toilet seat.

No toilet paper.

Stall door hanging on an angle by one hinge.

Pile of sh*t in the corner by the sink.

 

Unfortunately I HAD to sh*t, or thered be a problem.

[Niko Montana]

All of them lol. I only ever use public bathrooms when I'm on the verge of pissing myself.

[Trillest]

All of them lol. I only ever use public bathrooms when I'm on the verge of pissing myself.

This is mostly me, except there have been a few occasions, like the one in the my OP, where I had to sh*t so bad I knew I wouldn't be able to wait til I got home. When it comes to pissing, I never use urinals, unless I'm the only one in the bathroom. I get very shy if someone is using the urinal next to me, and no piss will come out. This is why I prefer stalls. You don't get much privacy, but it's better than none.

[Dottie]

Some commonly nasty ones (mainly stalls)

Gas stations and truck stops

Any school highschool and before

Any stadium

Fast food places/restaurants

Parks

Grocery stores

Malls

Theme parks (especially these)

and last but not least, portapotties

 

Generally anywhere where there are a lot of kids and people who dont generally care whether or not they piss all over the place

 

Cant speak for women as i am not one but its probably the same deal

Back when I managed a coffee shop in Suburban Station(conveniently located underground in center city Philadelphia) we had to use the public bathroom. The same public bathroom that was a known place for the homeless to give blowjobs. Not only was it just generally gross, ya had to deal with the whole homeless blowjobs thing.

 

Eventually I managed to beg access to the private facilities used by the public transit employees.

 

 

 

I have another bathroom story from when I lived on the road with the Grateful Dead. Porta'let (Porta potty...whatever) related...and you know how nice portalets can be. Naturally I knew to never use them after camp was open and available to locals...but I did use them every morning for my morning poop. They were super clean if you were the first one in, and I was always the first in (7 am like clockwork). Here is how nice the Grateful Dead were to us in camp...The first batch of toilet paper was quality store brand stuff. Even to this day I can't justify buying/using that expensive type of quality toilet paper.

^This. And also,I've saw some seniors of mine smokes in the bathroom,and they threw it on the urinal's hole,even though there were bin close to 'em.and any stalls inside it were pretty much broken.and some had few fecal stains.

It's funny because they're not that different at home in all likelihood. A very distant acquaintance of mine is married to a truck driver. I guess they are both what you would call "rednecks". Their house is absolutely filthy. It's like what a hoarders house would look like right at the beginning. Things lying all over the house, piled up, things just placed wherever and forgotten about. It's so bad that they have outbreaks of mold in their home and they legit just think it "happens" rather than the conditions they keep their home in contributing to it. She smokes inside the home. She smokes around her children.

It's legit disgusting. Both have very poor personal hygiene by any normal standards. It's disgusting because I've had this person bitch to me about all sorts of cysts that her husband has, that she has. I am like "wat". And they say this like it's legit a normal thing. It's like these people live on the f*cking moon with the way they behave.

 

The sad part is, these people have bred twice now.

 

I avoid public bathrooms like the plague. But when you have to go, you have to go. I honestly just try to hold it in to avoid using one, but sometimes you give in. There are Service Stops (ONroute) in Ontario which seem to have improved over the years. I had to take a road trip up to Ottawa a few weeks ago, was a five hour drive both ways, so we had to stop a few times. When I went, it was thankfully around 5 a.m. but unfortunately I had to go while the staff were cleaning the stalls. Had I gone hours later after people started using it? I'm sure it'd have been awful. I saw one trucker sleeping in his parked truck and when he woke up, he legit just walked out and started pissing in the parking lot....

My worst public bathroom experience occurred when I was the maintenance worker at a grocery store. Now, as a maintenance worker, one of my responsibilities was to maintain the restrooms. Every hour and a half I was supposed to go in and clean everything up. Well, one evening I got a call from the front desk. I was told there was a mess in the men's room. I thought, ok. What's the worst it could be? Toilet paper on the floor? No problem. Soap all over the counter? No problem. Broken toilet? No problem. Well, to my surprise, some prick sh*t all over the floor and toilet seat. On top of that, this son of a bitch smeared "f*ck you" on the wall with his own sh*t. My boss was surprised I showed up to work the next day.

That man must have suffered from a mental disorder. I can't think of a reason why any sane person would do such a disgusting thing. Unless, he had a vendetta against the store and decided to take his anger out in the bathroom. Who knows.

[Eugene H. Krabs]

I try to avoid public bathrooms. Last time I went in one was at school. Someone dropped the Cosby kids off at the community pool and didn't flush. Also, there was a writing on the stall that read "F*CK YOU" followed by the name of our principal.

I had to use the world's worst bathroom today. I was out on the street and just couldn't hold it in anymore, so I went into a café, bought some chewing gum and asked for the key to the bathroom. First of all, the bathroom was a ridiculously small cubicle... we're talking about 1 square meter, literally. I could hardly move (because of the toilet bowl) and I'm a scrawny guy; I can only imagine how stupidly tight it must be for a buff person. Secondly, the smell of sh*t was unbearable. The whole thing looked filthy, the walls were absolutely disgusting, reeked of old piss and there was actually a piece of folded toilet paper on the window ledge... more than likely used. The light wasn't working either. When I finally got through with it, I went to wash my hands, only to find that even the f*cking tap was broken. I managed to get it running by holding it firmly in place, though. Who the f*ck was so bored that they decided to break a goddamned tap in a café's bathroom? Really?

On the subject of truck stops and gas station bathrooms, don't you guys ever stop to appreciate the beautiful bathroom poetry written on the stalls?

[monkb4skunk]

What kind of sick ass human writes with there sh*t. That's f*cked up man

Would rather just sh*t in a bush. More hygienic

[Sasuke Uzumaki]

I find that the bathrooms in Chinese restaurants are some of the most vile and horrid places on this Earth. The toilets are always clogged with sh*t and it seems either the workers or the customers always miss the goddamn bowl and there's piss all over the damn floor. And on the rare occasion that the bathroom isn't fillied with human waste, it still smells like a rotting corpse. The stalls are always filled with racist graffiti, there's never any soap, it's absolutely disgusting. I pray for the dude that has to clean that hell hole.

[Vega LVI]

A few weeks ago I was driving and had to make a disastrous stop at a mini-mart I ran into while on the road.

I dipped in, asked the clerk for the bathroom (of course it was one of those public bathrooms that require a key), waited five minutes for him to fumble w/ the keyring to unlock the door, entered, watched the door shut behind me, turned my head and... ... ... ... ... oh dear...

There was sh*t everywhere... Literally. Everywhere. It was like somebody finger-painted the wall w/ wet feces and let it dry over a period of a couple days. Piss lined the corners of the room, mold clenched onto the ceiling above, garbage somehow walked itself out of the trash can and fell asleep all over the floor... but the icing on the cake was the lump of sh*t I found in the urinal.

Needless to say I was outta that mini-mart lickety-split, hopped in my car, and looked for another place to stop.

You never seen terrible public restrooms until you see a bathroom in a NYC train station, especially is it's in areas like Brooklyn. Once I saw a bathroom and one toilet had sh*t spewing out the toilet, it covered the floor around 10 inches around it and the stalls next to it so you had to walk around it. It also was on the ceiling it was gross! Edited July 14, 2015 by Sayuri

[Verdant]

A couple years ago I had to use the school toilets, some guy told me to "watch my step", I looked down and boom what do I see? A sh*t just sitting there on the floor. Yes, literally a sh*t. The least they could've done was attempt to get it in the bowl. Apart from that, a lot was smeared on the cubicle walls too. You never know if your walking in bleach or walking in piss. But my oh my, when I saw that sh*t though that pretty much put me off the school toilets completely, I wait until I get home unless of course I'm busting to go.

Nasty f*ckers, man. Im a former long-haul truck driver myself, and it sucks to know that there are those nasty bastards out there tainting the image of the proffessional driver.

 

But yeah, avoid truck stop bathrooms when possible.

i dont think its only muslim thing where they stand on the toilet to sh*t/piss. its an asian/eastern thing. its called a squat toilet, picture below. most people are born into using a loo like this, that seeing a toilet with a seat is funny to them, they dont know how to use it any other way. also its uncomfortable and they can't sh*t proper. to get into detail, squat toilets have a wider downfall area, western loos down, so poo doesn't hit the spot 100%. i know this from two malaysian lads working for us, i asked them about it after i saw foot prints on the toilet seat.

 

OT: i've also come across loos where cultures require washing feet and ears etc during the day, and habits of washing the face and snorting out all the snot worldly possible. this was in a college washroom, and it was in a bad state every day. i normally get my bowls emptied pre 11am to avoid the nightmare.
