The Worst Public Bathroom Options Ranked

A poll on bathroom emergencies looked at the worst possible restroom options.  Can you guess the #1 place we don’t want to go #2?

PORT-A-POTTIES were voted the worst restroom option.  59% of Americans ranked them at the top.

The rest of the worst five are:  Gas station bathrooms . . . toilets at public parks . . . restrooms at crowded concerts . . . and toilets on buses and trains.  Airplane bathrooms just missed the top five in sixth place.

Here are a few more stats from the survey . . .

1.  The top three things that gross us out in public bathrooms are:  People not flushing . . . when they miss the toilet completely . . . and wet or messy floors.

2.  Two-thirds of Americans would rather go to the bathroom OUTSIDE than in a gross public bathroom.  And plenty of us have done it . . .

76% have gone in the woods . . . half have peed on the side of the road . . . 42% have gone behind a car . . . and 36% have peed in a body of water before.

3.  73% of us have used a toilet for “customers only” without buying anything.

4.  40% have peed in a bottle when a bathroom wasn’t available.

5.  Have you ever decided to hold it until you find a better option?  Our top five reasons for doing it are a lack of cleanliness . . . bad smells . . . no toilet paper or soap . . . a fear of germs . . . and a lack of privacy.

6.  35% of us regularly hold it in until we can find a good bathroom option.  The average amount of time we’ll hold it for is 1 hour and 23 minutes.

7.  Last stat:  7% of Americans . . . or 1 in 14 people . . . admit they’ve held it too long before and SOILED THEMSELVES.
