Worst Public Restroom

[Merkuri]

I wouldn't say this was a bad bathroom, but it was decidedly odd. Let me see if I can explain it... The door had a lock on it like those one-person-only rooms, not like the ones with stalls and individually locking doors. There was a toilet and a sink, but there was also ANOTHER room inside this one, also with a toilet. The first toilet was not separated from the sink or the outside door in any way. I don't understand what the point was of two toilets like this. There's no way both can be at use at once without voilating someone's privacy. If you go into the inside one and lock that door and someone comes in and uses the other toilet then you're stuck in there until they're done (or you walk out and witness them on the john). If you use the outside toilet then nobody can go in to use the inside one unless they walk past you.

I forget which one I used, but I actually did a couple "reality checks" to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I tend to have dreams about very odd bathrooms if I have to pee, but I don't have to go bad enough to wake me up.

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

I'm just joking with you.

What is the worst public restroom you have ever been in?

Anything in Texas.

Denny's.

I was driving cross-country with my Mom, coming back from a family reunion- it was post 2AM, but we needed caffeine and a snack.

There was a 4 some of guys sitting at the counter, the remaining hardcore of a bachelor party. The groom-to-be was sitting at the end, and was completely smashed, hunched over his plate like a gargoyle. As his buddies finished enough of their meals to be happy, they passed them to the right...towards the bachelor.

Not only did he finish his, he ate every scrap from every plate passed his direction.

I pointed this out to my Mom, and (sensing impending doom) suggested we leave early, and we ate about 1/2 of our food and got up to leave- both of us hitting the bathroom before getting in the checkout line.

Three of the guys got in the checkout line just after me, but the bachelor headed to the bathroom.

Just as I sign my credit card slip, the entire restaraunt got to hear the sounds of the soon-to-be-groom noisily summoning the Elder Gods...all of them.

"c'tHUUUUUUUUUUUULuuuuuuuuuughhhh ftaghghghghgnn! HAAAAAAAAAAsturgurgle! Yog soth-THOOOTHHHHHHHsplash!"

I didn't go in to look- I value my (remaining) sanity too much to do things like that- but I suspect it was not a nice place to be.

We used to call that "talking to Ralph on the big white phone". Sounds like this was "talking to Chthulhu on the big white phone".

Glad to be of service in brightening someone's life...even with the typo!

It was supposed to read

"f'tagaghgaghgnn!"

not "ftaghghghghgnn!"

Ah, well...

As for where that summoning comes from, its from The Colour out of Face (an unpublished novel that was reworked into a much better short story).

I went to the restroom just as an old man was coming out.

The Horror: What I found within. It was actually more like a work of art...a perfect spiral topped with a peanut.
