The Most Abominable Pics Caught In Public Bathrooms

Public restrooms are notoriously filthy, and most of us have had plenty of gross experiences with them. But for every toilet bowl surprise you've come across, there are those who have seen far worse while answering nature's call. So brace yourself, because after seeing these weird and gross restroom pics, you'll never take your home bathroom for granted again.

1. Runs (on Dunkin')

No wonder this guy had to make a beeline for the toilet — he's trying to tackle a half-dozen chocolate glazed all by himself! The only place those donuts will be dunkin' is in the toilet.

2. Wait just a doggone minute

Was the dog in his pants to begin with or did he somehow find his way in? Was he put there forcibly, or does he enjoy it? And, most importantly, why on earth is this man ok with a dog in his pants?

3. Not again

We've all had those days. You know the kind — you're tired, your mind's not really there, and you wind up leaving a bag of boiled hotdogs and a pair of socks on a lunch tray next to the toilet. Happens all the time.

4. An extra push

It looks like she's called upon a little divine intervention to help her through this bathroom break. It also seems that her sunglasses were messing with her focus, as she just tossed those things on the floor without a care.

5. No words

This is an unspeakable level of filthiness. And ketchup on the fries? What, is he just digging in there with his unwashed hands, getting ketchup all over them, and then going right back to business? No. No. A thousand times no.

6. A little help

If you've ever wondered why the toilet paper dispenser makes that squeaky sound every time you tear off a square, well, now you know. Every TP holder comes with a resident possum who's specifically trained to feed out the paper as you pull.

7. The gamble

Whoever this woman is, she's playing a dangerous game. It's bad enough to be barefoot anywhere that isn't your home, but going barefoot in a bathroom is like playing Russian roulette with athlete's foot.

8. A common misunderstanding

When Bill told his friends he was going to "take a carp" in the McDonald's bathroom, they thought he was just having fun with wordplay — that is, until he wheeled his fishing cooler in behind him.

9. Mistakes were made

Contrary to popular belief, this is not how the "dirty rap" genre was invented. This is, however, a fantastic way to earn the nickname "pee ears" for the rest of high school.

10. Cut to the chase

Everyone knows how unsanitary toilet seats are, but the stalls are no less filthy. Save yourself the trouble of wondering if the back-of-the-door coat hook is covered in germs by simply tossing your jacket on the floor and just getting it over with already.

11. What goes in must come out

Those ribs are going to go through you anyway, so why not cut out the middleman and just eat them on the toilet? And after your hands are nice and sticky with BBQ sauce, just wipe them with the entire roll of toilet paper.

12. Bon appétit

When nature calls, you answer, even if you're in the middle of chowing down on a fancy spaghetti dinner. Probably not the best idea to get the bolognese, though — it looks a little too... familiar in this bathroom setting.

13. Ignoble effort

Jeez — these budget cuts are really starting to get ugly. Schools are now combining their cafeterias with their bathrooms, though watching the lunch ladies try to heat up pizza under the hand dryers isn't exactly what most would call "appetizing."

14. That's a lot of TP

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people seemed more scared of losing toilet paper than their own lives, so we can only assume this bathroom design is the product of that panic. Either that, or this person has some serious digestive issues.

15. Choose wisely

If you're looking for a quick place to wash up, avoid this bathroom at all costs. With all those handles and spouts, it'll be a while before you even manage to find the hot water. We just hope there's a prize that comes with picking the right combo — it's like something out of a wacky game show!

16. Balancing act

From tech to homes, everything is being downsized these days — and now you can apparently add toilets to that list. At least balancing on this incredibly uncomfortable commode will help you build some leg strength!

17. Missed the mark

Some bathrooms have design themes that transport you to faraway places where you're free to come up with your greatest shower thoughts. We can only assume this interior designer wanted visitors to feel like they were on a beach getaway, though this bathroom looks more like an underwater catastrophe.

18. Space issues

You've likely used a small bathroom before, but this is too far! There's barely enough room to squeeze into this space, let alone hunker down and do your business. For those of you who are claustrophobic, look away!

19. Absentminded architect

If you thought the tight toilet was bad, then you'll really hate this bizarre bathroom. We're not sure what the architects were thinking when they drew the floorplan for this home. Someone must've missed a meeting or two, because their measurements were way, way off.

20. Frankentoilet

Some things are better left separated, but in this house it seems the owners prefer their toilet paper attached to the seat — and tucked conveniently between their legs. We'd like to think this frankentoilet was homemade, but with everything else out there on the market, we wouldn't be surprised if it was listed somewhere on Amazon.

21. Toilets for all

What do you do when you live in a house with too many people and not enough bathrooms? Why, squeeze in another toilet, of course! This homeowner also decided to throw in a urinal while they were at it, because, you know, why not?

22. Guitar pee-ro

Take a walk on the wild side and make some sweet tunes with in this specially made urinal. If you thought mastering "Stairway to Heaven" was tough on a regular guitar, try nailing that Jimmy Page solo with a bladder full of Long Island iced teas!

23. Creative center

What the world needs now is not sweet, sweet love, but more music in the bathroom! You do come up with your best ideas in the can after all. For musicians, it'd be dumb not to have an instrument at the ready at all times. Take care of business while taking care of business!

24. Slippery slope

Here we have a brilliant toilet design that's perfect for testing the laws of gravity — and for guaranteeing every toothbrush you buy takes a nice dip in your toilet. Next time you brush, try leaving the seat down!

25. No peeping

We completely understand wanting a window in your bathroom. After all, a little light never hurt anybody — except when it's shinning on someone's literal dirty business. Keep that curtain closed! No one wants to see your pooping peep show!

26. Cheap frills

One great way to to brighten up a bathroom is by decorating with frills. Now, we know this isn't a style for everyone, but this person seems to like it... maybe a little too much. Can you imagine cleaning all that material? The toilet swatch is sure to have a few stains on it...

27. Making it work

Some say, "When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade," but we say, "When life gives you a slanted roof over your shower, you make custom curtains." Even if it does look a bit odd, this shower contraption definitely gets the job done.

28. Unexplainable

If you want to talk about tough decorating choices, it's time to have the "carpet or wood flooring" conversation: bathroom edition. We were convinced most people with common sense would go for neither in a bathroom, but then we saw this unexplainable monstrosity.

29. Missing the point

Have you ever felt like your bathroom just wasn't private enough? This homeowner felt the need to construct a stall within their bathroom for that extra level of privacy, though using glass panels instead of, say, anything that wasn't transparent kind of misses the point of the whole design.

30. Couple's toilet

After looking at this for a few seconds, we hope you realize what it is. If you guessed "a bench-sized toilet," you'd be right! Now, here's the real question: is there a couple out there really using this thing at the same time? If so, we want to know who these people are so we can recommend them a therapist.

31. Game of (porcelain) Thrones

Some people go a little overboard with their luxury lifestyle, but this is more like taking the term "porcelain throne" way too literally. If word gets out about this regal toilet, we might have a war of the seven kingdoms on our hands!

32. Being bougie

This setup looks more like an amusement park than a bathroom, but we applaud the designers for being bougie AF. Seriously though: they have a fireplace next to a TV... in the bathroom. How much more extra could you be?!

33. Bathroom monsters

If it weren't for the horrific designs this would be a pretty decent bathroom, but we definitely can't imagine trying to climb into that tub or using that sink. For starters, stepping into that thing looks pretty painful, and both the tub and sink look like they'd swallow you whole if given the chance. No thanks!

34. Space loo

Welcome to the International Space Station in, well, outer space. You might not have access to it, but it's technically public. Things work a little differently here in this bathroom, as bodily fluids aren't held down by gravity like we're used to on Earth. Better flush twice!

35. Robo room

Keeping with the theme of Japan, check out this futuristic lavatory in the Robot Restaurant. Everything is either gold or some form of technicolor, though the eatery itself makes this look modest!

36. Right in the face

Looking for a little target practice? These urinals in Reykjavik, Iceland, provide just that, though at the expense of these unfortunate gentlemen. No one's sure who they are, but there's a good chance not too many people are fond of them... or their faces.

37. Lonely loo

No, that's not a mirage — it's a bathroom in the middle of the Sahara. Whoever put it there was clearly looking out for lost desert wanderers, though let's just hope the toilet paper isn't too sandy.

38. Game as you go

Going to the bathroom isn't a game — but it can be. These urinals are actually connected to the monitors above them, and using pressure-sensing technology they allow the "player" to control a variety of video games using their... well, you get the picture.
