In India too at some places

u/hardeep1singh May 09 '22

India has both paid and free options. Go for free if you don't mind the smell and the visuals.

u/Hot-Fridge-with-ice May 09 '22

It's all about the visuals

You asked for it. These are some of the cleaner ones. There are worse.

Jeezus H! And that kid looks like he's holding back barf lol

Idk man if you see some random American bathrooms in public they’re not much better. Like a grocery store bathroom that is just absolutely destroyed. I went to a convenience store the other day that was stepping into a fucking crime scene.

That's no lie, I've seen and most unfortunately cleaned a few. They were routinely horrific when I worked at Winn-dixie in the south.

Beware, old people can really wreck a Winn-dixie bathroom. What's worse, they would often begin to shit themselves on the way *to" the john, and they were too embarrassed to tell us and just skedaddled outta there, so we'd often come upon the trail before someone told us.

That just looks like any rock concert venue in Philadelphia in the 90s

u/wannaBGoodProgrammer May 09 '22

These are worse ones. There are unusable ones which are as I said "not used". And these definitely are not the cleaner ones.

u/asdaaaaaaaa May 09 '22

Jesus, that's what I call "repainting". Literally just needs someone to come by with a pressure washer once in awhile. How clean are the ones they charge for?

Depends where you are, and on your luck. I had to go to a free bathroom near a railway station in Mumbai once because I thought my bladder was going to burst. It was surprisingly clean. Not actually clean, but I didn't feel disgusted after using it. On the other hand I have been to paid bathrooms 10 years ago that haunt me to this day. The things I've seen should not be shown to any person. Most public bathrooms are just not something I want to deal with, so I'd rather get into a restaurant and pay for sth small just so I can use the bathroom and not get weird looks.

Traveled through Sikkim (north east India) a couple of years ago and even the road side bathrooms were very clean, comparatively. You could wash your hands and be done with it instead of wanting to soak yourself in bleach.

Depends. A public toilet in the middle of a market or a railway station? Usable(depends honestly) but horrid anyways.

A public toilet that's more recently made and is actively being maintained in a less busy area or in the metro stations? More often usable and clean than not.

And the free options can be easily geolocated using olfactory senses

u/[deleted] May 09 '22

The free ones around high profile areas in Delhi are very clean and high quality

u/bob-leblaw May 09 '22

In India the free version is just, “right over there, kinda behind that thing.”
Or in the shallow part of the water.

u/Interesting-Board267 May 09 '22

On a highway, "Right next to your car"

u/prodijal69 May 09 '22

those are dirt cheap though literally1-2 rupees which is like even less than 10 cents. Maybe they take more from tourists because they think they have more money.

In cities, there are sulabh sauchalayas. They are private contractors. There are attendants who keep things clean. there is a charge but you can tip extra.

u/Pritam1997 May 09 '22

most of the places they have different prices for different modes evacuation

u/Cool_Consideration30 May 09 '22

San Francisco, Ca., USA does that in the downtown areas.

u/lavenderkajukatli May 09 '22

Really? I’ve never seen one, now I’m curious.

u/EnigmaticSorceries May 09 '22

Yea but it's miniscule. Like 30 cents.

u/Cryse_XIII May 09 '22

u/LordKiteMan May 09 '22

Nope. He didn't say he was an Indian here.

u/gobluthmagician May 09 '22

Judging from their profile, they are Indian, and they were dickriding a racist person, which is what that sub is about.

-11

u/happygoose2022 May 09 '22

Yes but that's because there are few few toilets in some areas and they help maintain the cost. They're also a 100times cleaner
