Weirdest thing you have ever encountered in a public bathroom.

[Dirge Eterna]

Besides the obvious plethora of strange smells what is something weird or an unusual situation you have encountered in a public bathroom? Being a male I can only go by what my wife has told me of the nastiness she encounters in the women's bathroom. I have 4 that stand out for me.

1. I worked with a guy who had to completely disrobe to drop a deuce. If you walked into the bathroom all of his clothes would be folded neatly on top of his shoes. He would have his bare feet on paper towels or seat barriers.

2. Several times I have ran into people having sex and or doing hard drugs like Cocaine and Heroin.

3. Going to the bathroom in Turkey and finding just a hole in the ground with little foot cut outs in the floor. Growing up in the mountains of Virginia and using an outhouse until I was 5 this one really didn't bother me.

4. Hearing someone eating while taking a dump. You could hear the fast food paper making noise and the guy chewing and swallowing as well as using a straw to drink from. .

I won't go into the really nasty stuff I've seen in a women's bathroom (trust me you don't want to know). But one weird thing that happened was a girl in the cubicle next to me, talking on the phone while she was doing her business.

Well, not happened to me, but I heard about a guy (US police officer?) who hung his handgun by the trigger guard on a hook on the back of the door. So, when he's finished, he reaches for the gun...

Only he's managed to knock the safety off when he put it on the hook. So when he touches it the hook pulls back on the trigger and goes off. And, since it's on a hook, the recoil keeps bouncing it around, hitting the hook on the trigger bump firing until the magazine is expended.

Now, I guess the gun can't point at him when it's on the hook, just spins around firing in a thin slice ahead of him, but still...

Talking in the bathroom is pretty prevalent from my experience. And I have seen some of the funked up stuff in womens bathrooms just from accidentally looking in as you walk by and someone is coming out at the same time.

I would hope that's just an urban legend as the level of stupidity it would require is severe. A semi-automatic pistol would have to have a round in the chamber which not every police department does from my experience. Also it depends on the manufacturer as some pistols have thumb safeties and some have grip type safeties like Glocks. They should have an idea about safe handling of firearms though. I was a Military Policeman for 5 years and if I had to go I would hang my whole belt on the hook in front of me on the door or beside me on the wall where no one could reach under or over the door and grab it. Taking your pistol out of its holster to hang it on a hook by itself would be pretty dumb.

Where do I begin? The people here can be such animals. On a Saturday night a public bathroom will have a number of drunk people throughout the night either vomiting, fighting, fucking, drinking, laughing.

I also heard a guy scream on his phone while I was in a cubicle.

A girl! Yes a girl . My job ( which i started about a month ago) has a unisex bathroom . So on my second day during work i needed to ... Drop the kids off at the pool, so i hurrily walk into the bathroom ( which for some reason is next to the kitchen ) and soon as i walk in i see a girl looking at her new tramp stamp in the mirror . At this moment i freeze . A little disoriented , i go to the sink and wash me hands, hoping that she'll leave so i can do my business , be she doesn't . I was standing there with water running on my hands for 3 full minutes and she didn't move . I then resigned and left the bathroom . I'm all for gender equality and whatnot but I'M NOT READY FOR THIS !

So i had to hold out until i finished work and got home . I... I never asked for this :-( .

Edit : i'm one of those guys than pretend that women don't use the bathroom to relieve themselves . Everytime a girl goes into the washroom , i just imagine they go to put makeup on and talk about boys .

Oh, most certainly very stupid, but there's always some people, especially given the number of US police officers that have successfully not done that.

It isn't the weirdest thing but I'm working in my university's archives at the moment, which is in the basement of the library. No one really goes there unless they need to use the archives but the rest of the library is always pretty full.

In my time in the archives, I have learned that the one bathroom on the bottom floor is where most girls in the library go to poo because there arent nearly as many people around. Seriously, every time I go in there, there will be someone in a cubicle trying to stay absolutely still until I leave because they don't want to be seen or heard after being caught in the act.


Sometimes I take ages washing my hands because I find it so amusing.

I like to think that if two girls go there, they get caught in a stand-off situation with neither person wants to go while the other is in the bathroom.

One of my old college friends has to pull his trousers AND boxers fully down to take a piss at a urinal, so it was weird on a college trip to walk into the mens room with his ass in my immediate view as I walk through the door....

Weirdo....

Don't suppose any of you have been in a bathroom where all toilets are flooded over onto the floor, the door to one of the stalls is broken off of its hinges and laying on the ground, the shit graffiti on the walls and the whole floor is covered in piss, have you? Because I have. This was at Wal Mart, during the night of Modern Warfare 3's launch. I was working that night. Had to hold it in until I got home. Worst 6 hours of constipation ever.

Jebus! I won't even go into a walmart bathroom on a regular day! Thats scary to think about, everyone deserved hazard pay on that night.

I did remember one thing that I forgot. I was at a Chicago Cubs or White Sox game I can't remember which when I was about 11. They have a long trough in the guys bathroom for pissing. Well these 3 drunk idiots decided to bet their friend 100$ that he wouldn't run and slide all the way through the trough full of piss. Keep in mind guys were still pissing at the time. He took the bet and ended up about halfway down the trough before he ran out of momentum. Covered head to toe in piss. Yuck!

Guinea pigs.

No eufemism, actual, breathing, frolicking guinea pigs. Taking a piss while three guinea pigs scurry around the bathroom floor is quite a strange experience.

Damn right! but Did we get Hazard pay? Noap! and that bathroom was down and out for three months after that. Fucking ridiculous.

Now where the hell was this? It sounds like something that would happen in a third-world backwater hellhole.

I went into the toilet in a bar once and the floor was layer caked in what I first assumed to be talcum powder.

A few seconds later I remembered I was in a bar and realised that somewhere a coke dealer was having a really bad day.

I think i am guilty of 50% of the mentioned...

Recent statics showed that 80% of female students in college in japan have eaten in a toilet cubicle because they didnt want to be spotted eating alone.

After a long trip I ran into the Baltimore City travel plaza's bathroom only to find that someone had removed the toilet and left a pile of soiled rags in it's stead.

During an after school program in elementary school me and a friend went to the bathroom to see another boy leaving a stall. As he left he gave us an insidious look and said, "I wouldn't go in there if I were you."

Obviously this meant we had to go in there. What we found was whitey-tighty underwear completely filled with shit that had been thrown against the wall, splattering shit all across it and leaving a shit trail down the wall. Explaining that to the principle was a hilarious experience.

I work security for a club in the city, every hour I have to do toilet checks (male and female). Every single hour I see horrific things, I think the strangest was finding a poo log floating in a sea of brown water in a sink, with a little Union Jack attached to a cockstail stick stuck in it.

Just thankful Im not the cleaner.. D:

During my 3 years in china I have seen things no human should see, but one rather memorable one is the story with which i respond whenever someone asks about what living there was like.
So I go into the bathroom in this big-ass mall. Then this guy kicks in the door, spits straight in the pissoir, while still stand at the door, walks up to another pissoir, pulls his pants down to his knees, farts and burps rather loudly while doing his thing, and then leaves without washing his hand and whipped out a cigarette before he even reached the door.

I have been scarred for life
