If there’s anything that doesn’t get enough credit, it’s the toilet. We use it several times a day to take care of our business, spend time scrolling through social media, catching up on some light reading, or thinking up our next big business venture. In fact, there’s a chance you might be reading this from that exact spot right now, as research has revealed that we spend six months of our lifetime aimlessly looking through social media platforms while sitting on the toilet.
This may be the case in the comfort of your own bathroom, but when you come across lavatories like in this Facebook group, “Toilets With Threatening Auras,” it’s unlikely you’d want to spend more than a minute in there.
Below, you’ll find a list full of pictures of porcelain thrones in horror movie-like scenarios. From lacking privacy and scary decor to floors that look like you could fall right through them, these toilets will leave you appreciating the comfort of your own home.

Sad... attitudes like this are what make us unworthy of this world
Similar to the bizarre toilets on this list, our bathroom habits can be equally interesting. It’s no secret that some of us—more than 65%—take our phones while going to the restroom. To find out more, NordVPN has carried out a whole study on this. From all the countries surveyed, it looks like the Spaniards need technological distraction the most, with nearly 80% of respondents using their phones on the toilet. Germany comes at the end of the list, with 54% (still quite a lot) of their citizens using smartphones on the loo. Additionally, this was the most common among Millennials, closely followed by Gen Z.

If you drop your dentures into the toilet, don't try to flush them down.
By far the most popular activity while sitting on the toilet is scrolling through social media (53.4% of participants). Weirdly, it’s the least popular among Lithuanians, who prefer to spend time reading or listening to the news. Out of all countries, Canada loves gaming the most, with nearly 40% of respondents spending their time playing in the restroom. Americans are the friendliest and are most likely to call or message their loved ones while on the toilet. Some stay productive, with Germans and Australians choosing this time to plan their day the most.

Unfortunately, people in the USA tend to be the clumsiest—20.4% of respondents admitted to having dropped their phone into the toilet. Second place goes to the Netherlands, with 16.9% of unlucky respondents bathing their phones in loo water. Lithuanians and Germans are the most graceful, with only 10% of them saying they have let their devices slip.

While it might seem like the ultimate time to multitask, scrolling on your phone in a restroom has been found to be one of the most annoying bathroom habits. 60% get frustrated when a family member or a housemate occupies the bathroom by reading the news or playing games.

It also prevents you from getting close enough to the urinal to actually prevent splashing. Most people who use urinals just put their feet wide to avoid the splash.

However, some things in the toilet are indeed threatening us. Almost half of us (at least in the US) have never cleaned our phones, so imagine how many germs could be living on them, especially if we take them with us to the bathroom. Plastics in our smartphones can hide and transfer bacteria and viruses, such as the common cold virus, which can live there for up to a week. While some of them are harmless, others can cause skin breakouts or even more serious conditions, like food poisoning and influenza.

People with weaker immune systems are advised to get into the habit of cleaning their devices on a regular basis. It’s best to wipe them at least once a day with an antibacterial wipe and don't let others touch them to minimize the spread of germs. We don’t need to give up the phone in the bathroom, but spending less time on the toilet and practicing good hand hygiene is necessary. Doctors emphasize that washing your hands is one of the most powerful steps you can take to prevent the spread of bacteria and illnesses. They should be cleaned at least five times a day, as well as every time you use the bathroom.

I have used one like this. I don't recall it having a urinal but the "top hat" toilet is rather memorable. It is basically a permanent outhouse. Below is a big tank that I assume they pump once in a while. But I mean big, not like a porta potty. My biggest concern was making sure there was nothing on my belt / pockets that could fall out because if you lost your keys or cell phone down there it is basically gone. Trying to remember where and which state. Probably WA or maybe ID / MT. It was government owned. Like a state campground or maybe a rest stop.

Way back I actually used one of these. It was at picnic pull off up in Maine. It is open to the sewage tank. There is no valve, everything just falls into the tank like a permanent porta potty. To empty it they simply drop a hose down the toilet. The smell was something else.
Oddly enough, scientists have come up with a way to really see how bacteria and other particles spread while using a bathroom. They set up green laser beams over a toilet without a lid, positioned cameras a few feet away, dimmed the lights, and flushed. The illuminated particles came out spraying like a rocket. Their eerie green videos show how fast and far contamination flies in public bathrooms, possibly putting their users at risk of getting sick.

Is this a usable toilet or have they replaced their toilet and is this their old one.
Based on these findings, bathroom creators may want to adjust their designs or install better ventilation or disinfection systems to prevent the spread of germs. Surely, you’re wondering if closing the lid is enough. Well, the American Institute of Physics in 2021 found that it helps to decrease the spread of bacteria but doesn’t eliminate them completely. Droplets can still escape between the cover and the seat.

Make sure to grab the right leaf to wipe. I think I see some poison ivy…
Ironically, the goal of the toilet is to get rid of waste, but it’s also doing the opposite—spraying contaminated particles on our bathroom walls and ceilings, including our phones. It’s something we can’t see with our naked eyes, so it’s easy to think that it doesn’t exist. So next time you scroll through social media on the toilet, remember to close the lid and wash your hands so that you can ensure your bathroom remains a lot less threatening, unlike the ones on this list.

I had an encounter with one of these the other day, same size and species. I was dragging my kayak along on it's trolley, and all of a sudden I feel little suction pads and fur running over my hand. It was one of these ones in a dreadful panic trying to climb up my arm thinking I was a tree. I flicked my hand to dislodge it, thanked it for not biting me (they generally don't anyway) and shooed it away to the nearest tree. It all depends on what kind of spider it is. This little one would be trapped and terrified. If it was a big QLD bird eating huntsman or a funnelweb I would be running away fast

No! If you want your family to do that, fine. There should probably be separate ones for each person, because laundry likely doesn't get all the intestinal "critters", and sharing those seems unwise. But to expect guests to use those rags is nasty, not to mention revolting. If you cant flush paper, guests could use paper and toss it out

A bidet would be more effective and accomplish the same thing without the ick factor. I hope they at least warn guests before.

I've seen this in person (one like it) so it must be popular enough a number of folks have done this. It made me laugh, but I wish folks would not mess with these. When I was younger men did not get changing tables in the restrooms. I've had to do the whole - lay my coat on the floor to change the kid thing. Now that we have them I'd rather people don't abuse them until they get taken out. Kind of like how my local Walmart removed the mirrors in the bathroom because people kept scratching / vandalizing them.

OK this is the 2nd squatting one here that I don't think belongs on the list. This is just a cultural difference. Are they clean examples of squatting toilets? Not by a long shot!! Would I prefer this to a more western style toilet? No way! But its just a cultural difference so doesn't stand up against the others.

I agree. Though it is kind of regional. If you had never seen a squat toilet and had to use the bathroom, finding this might seem kind of "ominous". but not for people who grew up with them. I've seen in floor squat toilets in Korea and Japan back in the 80s. Though I think both countries have a lot of 'western' style toilets these days.
