Your Worst Public Bathroom Experience. (Potential Not Safe For Life moments?)

[Deleted member 5334]

So a gif in the recent Trump got me to thinking... And yes, it's this gif:




What was your most unpleasant public bathroom experience?

Mine is still to this freaking day the Burger King located in that one strip in Toronto. Friend and I had to head over to Toronto to catch the Grey Hound so I could come back to the states and it was past 12AM. Think it was around 1AM or so by that point, but I had to use the bathroom. So we went back to the Burger King and we had to be buzzed into the bathroom (which was odd for me, since they don't do that in Erie, but eh). Well, I get in there and to this day, I've never seen this in any other public restroom in my entire life.

While it's a small room, the entire room was just nothing but piss everywhere. Floor, walls, toilet seat. The works. I literally stood there for a moment and was just like "Fuck me", because I also had to use the toilet seat (if I can be honest). I tried my best to clean up around the seat and was honestly the worst thing I had to do and I constantly and occasionally think back to this damn thing. Like, how the fuck could someone miss so damn bad that it literally ended up EVERYWHERE!?

I guess the only saving grace is it wasn't feces everything? But still, definitely not the most sanitary bathroom I've ever had to step into, that's for sure.

I have a feeling since I'm opening up the hornets nest by making this topic, this is probably tame compared what some people may have experience, but it's just a person grossness for me.

Either way, what has your worst public bathroom experience been, Era?

 

[Vonocourt]

Having to pull a ball of shit out of a Handicap stall toilet that was hard and the size of a baby's head.

Having to clean the sink of that same handicap stall because a father picked his kid up to shit in it.

People leaving colostomy bags and tampons on the floor wasn't great either.

Edit:Also, fuck anyone who spits chew in a sink or a urinal insteadof a trash can.

I worked at a gas station when I was 18 and some cops came in because someone reported that there was a dead fetus in the customer bathroom. ( it was a onsie building adjacent ... outside)

Turns out some of my 'friends' threw a beef kidney in there and poured beef blood everywhere. Out of that group of losers I'm the most successful and I'm a total loser lol

 

[Grizzel Greedigut]

Oh! Just remembered this one. While working at a guitar center during the xmas season, someone decided to take a gigantic shit in the sink of the public bathroom. I was chosen to clean it and threatened to quit on the spot. Someone else had to clean that shit up.

Man you saved that story, cause it was going in the wrong direction I got to tell you

 

[Grizzel Greedigut]

Oh God my horrible memory is coming back to me. This one time, after a night of 'band practice' ( crazy shit, but we wrote a song somehow) I ended up shitting myself In the car on the way home and ran inside past my roommates without any pants on, straight to the bathroom to clean up. There was no discussion or ridicule. Everyone understood.

 

[bastardly]

I had the runs once in Chinatown in LA, ran to the public toilet which took fucking quarters and had to run to a store and get change, went back and the fucking thing stole my quarters of course. ran around some more and found a free public restroom, and it was exactly as you imagine, just covered in filth, lights didn't work, and reeked of urine, I was about to shit myself so whatever, and of course the only stall there had it's door torn off, and there was no toilet covers or tp so grabbed some Chinese newspaper I found outside to use, I straight up had to hover there while fearing for dear life no one walked in, did my business and had to run around trying to find someplace that sold purell, haven't been back since

 

[Grizzel Greedigut]

A funny addendum?

When I was like 17-19 I went to just about every gas station in the area, western burbs, and stole thier bathroom key.

I would ask to use the bathroom and get thier key with a wrench, hubcap, brick etc ... attached to it and just peel out. I thought I was so cool lol. The best was a Mercedes hood ornament

 

[Grizzel Greedigut]

In total about 72 victims I'd imagine. I used to be such a little dick!

 

[Nida]

At a camp ground or state park in either West Virginia or possibly Virginia.

There was no pluming, just a hole. It was a really hot summer day, and the smell was... horrifying. It literally made one of my family members sick.

 

[Deleted member 23850]

I wonder how many of these stories are going to be Dive Bar stories.

 

[Rover]

Does hearing some dude in the office bathroom masturbate and breath heavily count? On multiple occasions?

 

[Deleted member 19070]

Some train station restrooms in Brooklyn looked like straight out of silent hill. Not only super dirty but felt like someone was waiting to kill you or shoot up in there. I had to use one once. Was not a pleasant experience.

Yes. Yes it does

 

[Herb Alpert]

I think it was in a Mac Donald's restaurant years ago.
There was shit everywhere. I have no idea how the guy even managed to pull this. I almost throw up seeing this.

 

[ElephantShell]

Nothing too crazy, saw a drunk older man fully drop his pants and underwear at a urinal in a movie theater bathroom.

 

[Powdered Egg]

Dropped my phone in a toilet and picked it up quick before it did damage. Scrubbed for like 15 min straight.

 

[Dnomla]

Constantly seeing how many women don't wash their hands. I have to use public restrooms a lot and probably 1 out of every 5 women don't wash their hands after they're done.

I'm a bit of a germophobe and I'm just like...."You were just in the stall doing...that, and you'll take the time to look in the mirror and fix your hair but not wash your hands?" :(

Oh, and I accidentally clogged the toilet once at work and it started to overflow and I just booked it out of there. Luckily no one was around.

 

[Rendering...]

The number of old men I've seen use a urinal and then make a beeline for the exit, without so much as a glance at the sinks, is nauseating. Next time you shake an old guy's hand or handle money that an old guy has touched, you're basically at one remove from shaking his pecker dry.

Wash your hands.

 

[AstronaughtE]

When I was 10 or so I had a starter jacket sleeve dip into something foul on the floor of a kmart bathroom floor and didn't realize it till I felt the cold liquid touch my wrist. That might be the worst?

I had a scary moment in a cracker barrel. We were sitting there waiting for our food when I started getting that sparkly tunnel vision you get before you pass out. I fled to the bathroom in a panic then, remembering the be fouled jacket sleeve, rapidly feared passing out on the floor. I didn't pass out I just got really sweaty.

 

[subpar spatula]

i remember be about 13. at a public pool. had to shit. the single stall was taken, so i shitted in the urinal. some dude walks in and walks out immediately. when you gotta go you gotta go.

Ugh, sooo many of my childhood summers included visiting a camp ground with one of those. I did mostly ok, but always became nauseous by the thought of getting bitten by mosquitoes. Poo-mosquitoes.

 

[TheRyzzl]

Oh man so I was at e3 just taking a piss minding my own business when some fkin clown with a mullet and his buddy with a cam corder come strolling in. It was pretty disrespectful.

 

[Umbrella Carp]

Not necessarily a public bathroom, but a school bathroom. I used to walk in to multiple stalls to find shit smeared on the walls and all over the seat, toilets overflowing because they've been stuffed full of garbage and food, homophobic and racist graffiti and of course, as soon as you manage to find a toilet that is half clean, some group of dickheads will walk in, see the occupied stall and immediately go about making the occupants life all sorts of hell no matter who it is. Just pathetic, disgusting, animal behavior. And this was a private school.

 

[rainz]

A lot of places in India were pretttttty rough..and just the other day in Vietnam someone had squatted on Top of the toilet seat u usually sit on and shat directly onto it, like, hardly any must of went in the bowl.

 

[Claude Augario]

So one of the rules everyone learned in elementary and middle school was that you don't use the bathroom after Reggie. He had the shits of legend, and unfortunately, I got to see the aftermath one day. I went to the bathroom only to find the first stall covered in what I assume was his interpretation of a Jackson Pollock. There was a torrent of liquid shit everywhere but in the fucking toilet. I don't know how he pulled it off but I've never seen anything like it since.

Dude that sucks. Let's hope he didn't post that on twitch or anything.

 

[Kyuuji]

One Christmas Eve we were out out for my mates birthday and I took it a little too far. Knew I had to puke to feel better so started to move briskly toward the bog.

- Worth knowing at this point that my gag reflex sucks -

So I go into the toilet and there's three urinals full and one cubicle at the back. So I continue the swift walk because I'm gonna chuck but I want people to know I've still got some composure about me.

Go into the cubicle, hit my knees and lift the lid and there is the most gigantic slop of rancid shit I've ever seen. I vomit immediately into it, and naturally breathe in as a consequence. The smell, oh my fucking lord the smell. I immediately gag and vomit again. Open my eyes to see this mix of vomit and shit, vomit again. The sound of the slop hitting the slop and this filling the bowl even more sets me off again.

Soon I realise I'm stuck in some hellish downward spiral of shit, piss and vomit and turn from the bowl and spurt a little more across the floor. This runs out from under the cubicle and some guy is like "what the fuck, you alright in there bro" and they turn the corner to see this fucking toilet ghoul, red-eyed, teary, pale and hunched over my pot of shit like some fecal leprechaun. They go "that's fucking filth man" before leaving me to wretch again and contribute more to the pile. Eventually I manage to crawl out of the toilet while wretching nothing but bile left and lean on the sink and wash my mouth out.

Still remember the sight and the smell. Still feel sorry for anyone that needed to be sick after me.

When I had to use the toilet at a diner during a trip to vegas, there was a glory hole in my stall, with stains.

 

[riotous]

Nothing that terrible; just gross bars and clubs. Places with no doors on the toilet stalls or piss troffs crowded shoulder to shoulder.

Witnessed some absolutely horrifying portapotties that I refused to enter. Like feces spilling out over the lids. Like how did people continue to add to the pile without puking?

 

[Golden]

India. I had diarrhea so needed to go desperately,and used the vat room in a restaurant. The toilet was a hole in the ground. There was no toilet paper, you have to pour water and wash your ass with your HAND! This is fairly standard in India, but on this occasion there was also no soap! Chefs will have been using the same facilities.

 

[Tamati Hemi]

Went into a Burger King bathroom which had only 1 cubicle. There was literally shit everywhere. On the walls, floor, doorand all over the toilet. I felt bad telling a member of staff about it knowing he or someone else would have to clean it.

 

[FaceHugger]

I told this one here before I think. It's pretty gross.

At the local cinema with my best friend, his GF, my GF. We all ran to the restroom while the trailers played. All of the urinals are taken. I see my buddy open the door to the first stall, then shake his head and keep moving.

I turn the corner into that stall to see what the deal is and there is urine and loose feces all over the toilet. On top of it. All over the seat. Some on the floor. It looked like someone threw a bucket full of it into the stall.

I started slipping towards it, feet going this way and that independent of one another. My forward momentum was bringing me closer and closer to the doodoo and peepee. In desperation I forced my limbs out in all directions, bracing against the sides of the stall with my legs and grabbing hold of the top of each side.

I held myself in place for a moment, gagging. I gained my footing and slowly slid my way backwards out of the stall, utilizing my grip on the top of the stall walls.

I heard my friend laugh from the next stall as he pissed and ask, "You touched it didn't you?".

 

[Prowl]

Mine was in An airport bathroom, it was my first encounter with a squat toilet and I also had an upset stomach

the whole situation of feeling sick and learning this new way to poo was just the worst mix at the time

 

[ItchyTasty]

Was working at a club once where someone had completely destroyed the toilet with shit, while puking all over the place... Luckily I wasn't the unlucky one that had to clean it up.

Once someone puked in the urinal which clogged up the thing. Of course people continued to pee in it :)

 

[True Underdog]

PAX South 2015. Opened up the only available stall to see that it had shit halfway up the wall and all over the handle. :/

 

[Claude Augario]

Can't believe I'm remembering more of these stories.

Same school as the last one but a year later. I was in an after school recreational program and they had a buddy system so no kid went to the bathroom alone. My friend had to go, and because I was older, I ended up escorting him. I waited for him and about 2 minutes later he comes out with a stunned look on his face. I ask him what happened. "Someone pooped on the wall." I didn't believe him. "It's on the walls!" I had to see for myself. As soon as I walk inside I can smell it. On one of the walls was a shitty handprint. There was poop smeared on the inside of one of the stalls.

When the adults found out, they gathered all the boys in the program and interrogated us on who the great poop vandal was. Turns out it was none of us - it was an older kid that wasn't in the program. He must have really had to go (that part of the school is open to the public), learned the hard way how that bathroom rarely had toilet paper, wiped his ass with his hands, tried to clean his hands on the wall, and fled in shame.

I don't know why he never bothered to just wash his hands.

 

[CHC]

Sunglasses fell out of shirt pocket straght into toilet. Not a full toilet, thank god. I fully covered them with soap and then scrubbed them to death with scalding water, then blew them off in the dryer. They got a rubbing alcohol bath later. I survived.

 

[RedMercury]

I started working in a school recently, forget about using the bathooms by the kindergarten/first grade. I've walked in and noped out a few times, had to walkie the janitors to get the hell in there haha

Working at a convenience store I would see stuff like syringes, burned tinfoil, crackpipes, shit everywhere, pads left on the floor, you name it.

 

[Ocean Bones]

I once dropped my phone in the floor and in slid all the way into the next stall where someone else was shitting.

Another time we went to the lake, and a younger cousin decided it'd be hilarious to piss all over the toliet and toliet paper in the only bathroom at the lake.

He came back the next day, and he ended up having diarrhea. Karmas a bitch.

 

[Keikaku]

No soap. I die a bit inside every fucking time.

 

[Qvoth]

when i was in my primary (early grade school for americans)
there was a live fucking worm, this particular toilet was just used by someone else
probably tapeworm or some shit, i seem to remember it was kinda long

 

[Deleted member 721]

college trip with thousand of students and the place we stayed was very trash, no regular cleaning, besides the toilets full of shit that was disgusting (but you could walk to other places to take a shit in better bathrooms), but to take a bath i had a very bad experience, i remember once in the shower (shared bathroom you had girls time and boys time in that one), and there's a bloody tampon in the shower floating in the water (the drain was clogged), yeah no bath that day....

 

[valuv]

I worked several Starbucks in downtown Toronto so imagine your worst fear and multiply by ten

Funniest was once when cleaning the bathroom a full rotisserie chicken was stuffed in a toilet

 

[Tavernade]

I once puked a ball, half the size of my fist and made entirely of wet/dry mucus, into a Toys R Us toilet. I have no idea where it came from. I was deathly ill but it had to do with the... uhhh... other end.

Also I once had to clean up after someone literally shit their pants into a toilet. Like, there was just sweatpants in the bowl with shit inside of them. And it was on the walls too. I never figured out how the guy left the store without any pants.

 

[Kevers]

I was like 8 and bent down and it came shooting out before I could get all the way down and it sprayed all over the place.

 

[Charsace]

NYC Manhattan library. Had to pee so bad and didn't want to buy something just to use the bathroom. Big mistake. Blood was everywhere. I don't know wtf could have caused it. Maybe someone trying to shoot up. I just don't know I just know I shit was traumatic for me and whoever else ran into it.

[Macheezmo]

One year when I went to Motor City Comic Con. It was the year Stan Lee was there, and the line to get in was insane. Wrapped all the way around the building, and out around a smaller building. The smaller building had 1 toilet, and there was no working power or water in it, but it was the only place to go while waiting in line. I went in and the toilet was completely full of shit, cresting over the rim of the bowl. Obviously there was also no toilet paper. It was the grossest, most foul smelling thing I've ever encountered. Thankfully I only had to piss, but I feel really bad for any woman that had to use it or anyone that needed to shit.
