Should we rethink our public restrooms?

This is hilarious!! I was busting a gut reading this!!
But, if you're serious, people like me with irritable bowl syndrome who can't take medicine because, according to my doctor, isn't bad enough to take medicine with, need restrooms, and I would like to explode diarrhea in a cozy toilet when out shopping. I have no idea when it'll hit, and I could be anywhere. If you hate paying for it, live on a farm and grow your own stuff.

You sound like one of those medieval religious people who kept thinking their comfort was sinful, and used to sit on spikes instead of chairs.

Heh, I'm surprised you didn't want to replace the water in the toilets with sulphuric acid. That way, splashback is payback! :)

why don't you just stop visiting the bathroom, as if it were never there in the first place.

Like every other janitor you are not entitled to an opinion so just shut the fuck up and unclog the toilets.

HAHA! What a silly thing to feel so strongly about.

You have obviously never heard of poverty (i.e. not having the money to take a crap) nor have you heard of "shy bladder syndrome" where a guy can't pee if someone is seeing him peeing.

I suggest you put a firecracker in your mouth and light it.

This is a freak question and neither are you! Crazy people these days..

FUCK YOU!and DROP DEAD for tormenting and refusing to HELP THE HOMELESS!

... and the award for oddest pet peeve rant goes to... *drum roll* ... This OP.

seriously :O who ever u are u must be a pervert because public bathrooms are for pervert
last time i went to a public bathroom there was 2 men jerking off so no it is not normal to like public bathroom and i think people should only go there for emergency's

P.S this question isn't normal and neither are u

They should take their money and to a complete redesign of stalls all across the country. They have no privacy. There are gaps in the framework that make it easy to be spied on and the end of the doors have come up so high. Everything you do can be seen. Now everything knows that you are on your period and changing yourself. Now everyone knows what type of underwear you are wearing and even your genital situation. It's absolutely perverted and disgusting.

"We all have to go, Why not enjoy the go?"

all i can say is if you don't like it here in the USA get the fuck out i voted no its not normal.

and i like reading the graffiti while taking a long hard shit it makes it come out easier

I piss and shit all over public bathrooms, even the nice ones that I find just so people like you can get "pissed" off about it when you have to use it.

Enjoy my excrement!

oh boy.

Please tell me this is a troll.

Even still public restrooms are my last resort! Making them less comfortable would be taking out the walls.

Most of the people I know detest using public restrooms and would do anything to avoid them. I know I do. Just walking in one kind of makes me nauseous. I don't think there's anything wrong with them, though. It's just my personal reaction to them. Therefore, I can't pass too much judgement on you. To each their own.

I VOTED YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

They should be a last resort, but don't take away the privacy. Most public loos aren't "comfy & cushy". Most of them are: dirty, stink, loud, crowded. The doors in american stalls don't offer much "privacy". It's like the doors were deliberately made to have big gaps ,that reveal yourself and your doings, and walls/stalls that are high from the ground. You can't let your pants hang by your ankles without having someone see them! I went to Harrods and a relative used the loo. She said the stalls had perfect privacy and low to the ground.

Why can't they have that here?!

I used to use public loos when I went on "field trips" or if there was nowhere else to go. I hate using those revolting boxes!

You're funny. The way you wrote this had me cracking up.

In china in some places its normal to have just one room with 20 toilets, no stalls, everyone next to each other shitting and talking. It's a great way to get to know other people, cheap, cozy and nice. (tho the chinese don't use toilet paper, and their toilets are just holes in the ground.. that would have to be re-thought for western use)

A few people ruin it, not everyone.

Plus, if you dislike how a store's money goes to a restroom, GET OVER IT! First, I think its mandatory at a certain size, like handicap spots are. Second, it is a private business; quit shopping there if you don't like how they handle their funds.

Third, they kinda are pay restrooms; you're expected to be a store patron if you're using them. Private businesses don't maintain public restrooms, but rather restrooms for their customers.
