Worst Public Restroom

[Brimshack]

I wish it were fiction. The memory is emblazoned in my digestive tract as well as my mind. The station is in Winona, just East of Flagstaff.

I eventually just want in ...I had to. The guy started yelling at me while I was in there, but I only felt bad about the lady. I hope he gave her a fresh roll of paper and let her do her business inthe women's restroom, but for all I know he told her to leave the property. She wasn't there when I got out.

Hey was that you Aurora? Sorry, I just couldn't wait any longer...

Needless to say, I ran out of there like a bat out of hell and held my bladder for about three miles till I could use a different restroom.

A-HAH! I call your bluff! I live in Montana, and we don't even have two bathrooms within 3 miles of each other. The state ordinance is that all bathrooms must be 15.5 miles apart. The 15 mile mark being the point at which most mortals can no longer "hold it".

Am *so* amazed that this thread hasn't been closed.

OTOH, most of the discussion has managed to stay, well, I won't say "clean", but about as clean as can be expected, given the subject matter.

Location: New Mexico Desert
Bathroom: Roadside stop

The Horror: I don't know what it looked like inside- outside were posted numerous "Beware of Rattlesnakes!" signs.

We resumed our travels, suddenly devoid of "The Urge."

For all we know, it was just a "Potemkin" bathroom, put there to mock us.

It may have been further apart, but I can attest to you, my story is no lie.

I also remember a bathroom in Victoria, BC that turned my stomach. We (me and my then GF) were in the downtown wandering around and decided to grab a bite to eat. We went to a nearby Taco Bell and had our meal. Afterwards, my GF went to use the facilities. She walked in and after about 20 seconds, walked out looking quite nauseous. when I asked what was wrong, she said that there was something wrong with the lights..... curious, I went in to see. The bathroom itself was clean, but the overhead lighting was this very weird sickly orange colour that made your skin look OLIVE GREEN. It actually made me kinda nauseous too... (maybe the wavelength of the light or something?) anyways, we spoke to the girl behind the counter to find out what was up and were informed that they had to put that lighting in to discourage the junkies from shooting up in the bathrooms. Apparently, the lights make it impossible to find a vein.

Man, those are all awful. I can not remember the worst one I have seen, but I know I have seen some horrors in my life too. Maybe I am just repressing them.

When I hear some more stories I will choose a winner.

The Limelight nightclub in New York City. It was pretty dark, but not noticeably unclean by "New York Public Bathroom" standards.

However, the restroom attendant was a 60-80 year old crazy guy, bald as a cue ball, dressed in an undershirt and dirty pants. He lurked as you did your business. He pounced when you were zipping up, using his body to guide you toward the sinks. Then, before you could exit, he screamed at the top of his lungs for you to tip him, yelling "FEED THE OLD MAN! FEED THE OLD MAN!"

As a result, on nights when the old man worked, all the men in the whole club tried to "hold it."

When my friend's band played there, we smuggled two dozen people into the backstage bathroom just so they could avoid the guy. He was extra creepy, like creepy with a side helping of creepy smothered in a creepy sauce.

I'm telling you, that is Kevin Federline from the future...

Hey- at least he has a job now!

Wow, I don't think I've ever experienced a bathroom half as bad as the ones you people describe - and I hope I never do! My condolences...

cheers,
