DeWitt Seitz. Smells like a lifetime of poop. Dudes, get some ventilation.

Avoid KFC in Superior...it is beyond nasty.

I have to say my favorite restroom is the women's restroom at T-Bonz.  It's got two toilets in one stall and cracks me up every time.

luce probably has the most hospitable restrooms in the city by virtue of the fact that you really don't have to touch anything. considering the number of people who don't wash their hands after handling *themselves,* it's a very good thing.

The recent problems notwithstanding, Park Point does have an intriguing public toilet... . [I haven't been out there for a couple of years, but as far as I know it's still there.]

That bathroom on the lakewalk near the Endion Station is pretty icky.

Turkish and Greek squat pots are always a challenge (carry your own TP or newspaper). The blue port-a-potties at concerts are always gross.

If you must use Park point avoid using poison ivy as toilet paper.

ooh  that's right. you gotta touch the soap. thankfully it's self cleaning. Thanks Rob.

I've used squatters all over SE Asia (well, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand) and even the Thai squats were relatively clean, which is more than I can say for many "western" toilets I've encountered. In Singapore, they hit you with a fine if you don't flush a public toilet.

Barrett's comment about missing on the #2 reminded me of being at a music fest in WI a few years back and a girlfriend of mine being completely disgusted at the condition of the one permanent ladies' restroom (there was other "portable" options, but she was picky)...apparently the previous occupant had "missed" his or her target, and the result wasn't pretty.

The Holliday Center is pretty bad, but ive found it quite convenient at times.

I heard about this public restroom finder site on npr last week.

You can rate the toilettes for everyone's benefit.  The app just fanned my already burning desire to have an iphone.

Middle of nowhere, TX.

Back of station, no ambient light.
Door was off hinges, you had to lift it out of the way to get in and lean it over the opening for a bit of privacy.
1/2" of "water" on the floor.
No lights (probably a good thing, judging from the stench.)
No TP.
No soap.
Glad there were some bushes nearby.

It beat all of the public restrooms that I used from England to Czech Rep.

The women's bathroom in T-Bonz's is the weirdest bathroom I've ever seen...apparently you must use the buddy system.

The grossest bathroom = the old Tap Room bathroom.

Hostal Terminus, Granada, Spain. The shared bathroom was a diarrheal disaster dungeon. I don't even want to know how someone can miss while going Numero Dos

ahh...Big V's...that takes me back. yeah, those suckers were pretty gross...

the 5 Point in Seattle (Tillicum Square off Denny Way) has a doozy...about as big as a miata. the only redeeming quality is a square hole (with plexiglass...like a window)cut in the wall above the console urinal that is actually a periscope looking up at the space needle.

I was on a boat ... in China ...

I had been there for probably two months already going to school and traveling far and wide on weekends and school breaks.  For the entire time I had actively and creatively avoided using a squatter. Growing up I was around animals, farms, and other uncomfortable stenches enough to know that i have a very sensitive gag reflex and I just hate the sensation of losing it.  SO the whole time I had never stopped for a pit stop and I did this by sticking close to home, finding a western style store or hotel or whatever or just ... holding it.  But my options were running out on this boat.  We were heading through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze river on a boat made for your standard middle class-ish Chinese people circa 1993.  And it was a great boat ride, but the toilets were still squatters, for # 2 anyway.  

I realize now that there is not enough room or probably even enough interest in this story so I'll just cut to the punchline.   

I just couldn't hold it anymore after a stop for dinner in one of the three or four towns we visited along the river so I headed out back to a neighborhood squatter with a spring in my step if you know what I mean.  And I won't get too graphic, but I will just say that it had not likely been cleaned in a very long time, and as gross as Ms. traceydee's post was well  ... this was a COED squatter so ... 

I was a little traumatized.  In addition to all the other rainbow of colors in there, I also left a spattering of whatever I had eaten for dinner that night.  Because I just could not hold it down.  Not a chance.  

Yes, there are some bad restrooms around here, but nothing like that.  And it sounds like things have changed a lot in the last 15 years since I was there, but I occasionally wonder if the "night soil" situation has changed as part of all of their "progress."  Chinese people who use those facilities and in particular Chinese women are Superheroes for enduring that if you ask me.  Superheroes

Not too familiar with shitters on account of I have to wear diapers because of my huge sharp claws.  Its like trying to wipe a pinhole with a VW bug.

When my daughter was 3, I took her into the woods to pee instead of taking her into the porta-potty at a kids' soccer game. It was dirty, and you can't trust a 3-year-old not to touch everything and put her hands right into her mouth.

As a self proclaimed neat-freak, when I see a messy bathroom, I clean it myself. It's gross, yes, but I can't leave a public bathroom dirty. I actually carry paper towels in my bag for cleaning up public messes. Silly, but someone's got to do it. Just the other day I cleaned up the Library's bathroom. hehe
I just try to do what I can.

First Ave./7th Street Entry. The men's stalls don't even have doors.  Those who also posted here about Big V's, yeah, it's pretty damn bad too.
