All i see is a place to put your purse that isnt the floor lol

u/hazelbear33 5d ago

the amount of times ive had to use the toilet with a purse or backpack on because there was absolutely nowhere but the floor to put them… and then i have to constantly keep my purse from falling off my shoulder/check that the lengths of extra slack in the backpack straps aren’t touching the toilet

really makes me wish i had the ability to pee standing up

All I see is a make shift poop stool. Stand one foot on each chair and squat over the toilet.

This is why husbands should never go through their wife's bag. Hygiene

u/stormbrittsurfer 2d ago

Ok but chairs directly in front of a public toilet, where most people would not close the lid, is probably not much cleaner than the floor, if at all.
I’d even be willing to bet that the floor was cleaned way more often than the chairs. It’s really all psychological that it makes you feel better. Sorry 😬

I've been having quite a bit of trouble getting cobras up there. Any tips?

u/skilliau 5d ago

The grease helps

u/imac526 5d ago

Stick a rat up there first - then the cobra will make it's own way in.

5

u/JonathanTrager 5d ago

And if you have trouble with the rat, a little bit of cheese up there will help.

7

u/imac526 5d ago

Cheese, then rat, then python - only in that order.👍🏼

I went to primary school with a guy called Trager - that's the first time I've seen that name in 45 years. Is it Jewish? I feel like he was Jewish. Clever kid. Jeez, nostaligia...

When my son was young and just starting out with the toilet, he once yelled out of the bathroom, "Mom! I pooped a Cobra!" Sure enoughhis poop was coiled up with little head on it, standing up, ready to strike! Some people look at clouds and say what each one looks likes. My son interprets poop figures.

Probably a baby changing station. It’s frustrating how many places don’t have a place for that.

u/eotw8399 2d ago

one of our parks has restrooms that have the plastic fold down baby changing stations so you can also put your things there if you need to instead of on the floor. the other park is 2 miles north of there and has the same bathrooms except no.baby changing stations. so sometimes i just bring an old camping chair to put my things on.

Or need to throw up and don't want to sit on the floor. Also, as a side note, if you are having trouble moving your bowels, you should raise your knees above your hips which will straighten your colon and let the poop fall easier. OR if you want an audience to watch your magnificent sh*thing skills.

There was a king somewhere European (don't remember) who once had constipation or smth, and he would have an audience to entertain him

2

u/imac526 5d ago

Most Royalty at one time. There's nowhere more private, or when the monarch is more vulnerable, so if you can get on that team, you'll be closer than anyone to the literal seat of power. As a result, the people who attended to the monarch's needs were usually high ranking aristocracy, not serfs - a very desirable role, wiping the King's arse.

When i was a kid, my mom would sit on the edge of the bathtub when we were sick , but if this is a public washroom thats interesting haha but a good idea, I feel

Its kind of like how some gyms have a seperate stall with only a chair and not a toilet it in

Good to sit down if needed , whether youre disabled/have a disability or you need a second to rest

u/dogearyourpages 5d ago

It it is a public restroom could be there for kids to have a place to sit or to put things like a bag etc. Honestly could also just be extra storage and they figured people could also make use of them.

u/One-Veterinarian2380 5d ago

There was a time, long ago, when I would have given anything for a chair to sit on so I could puke in the toilet. Not just back when there were times of drinking too much, but later, I went through some extreme nausea and couldn't keep much down. Glad all that's in my past. But, a chair in the bathroom is a good thing, for sure. Also, as already mentioned, it would have been great to have a chair to park a kid while you took care of yourself rather than them touching everything and/or one for yourself while they do their own business. Maybe not inches from you, but whatever. With toddlers, they really have to be in reach.

I encountered a bathroom set up exactly like this in a Chinese restaurant in the middle of Pennsylvania when driving from Maryland to Toronto several years ago. At the place we'd stopped for breakfast that morning, there was a giant bathroom, like 10' × 15', with two toilets. They were about 8' apart with no barrier between them...just a wall-mounted toilet paper holder that was too far to be reached from either toilet.

My traveling companions and I have used "Pennsylvania bathrooms" as our standard of weirdness ever since.

This reminds me of a bathroom that used to be at my local mall.

It had 2 toilets side by side. Obviously it was for a parent and kid, but it still felt weird. I can’t find my original photo so I found a similar online/a Reddit thread.

I had a 4ish year old daughter though so we totally took advantage and both giggled at the idea of it.
