Taking some "me time" on the toilet should be a peaceful experience, and usually, it is, in the comfort of your own home, but what happens when you have to use a public restroom? Even the most bathroom shy of people has been caught in that terrifying moment of panic where you have to frantically search for a restroom and pray that you don't find anything too horrific inside.

The following is a list compiled by Bored Panda of the most extreme bathroom design fails that made at least one person if not everyone's' bathroom experience odd, uncomfortable, terrifying and possibly hilarious. From toilettes with no stall to inconveniently placed soap dispensers you won't believe these crappy designs. And remember don't forget to upvote your favs!

If you have ever been to a public restroom you will notice that the line for the women's bathroom tends to be longer than the men's. Well researchers have found that men actually spend more time on the toilet than women do - seven hours a year in fact. According to the poll men reported they used their bathroom time to hide from a nagging partner, avoid kids, spend time on their phone or just for some 'me time.'

My Friend Sent Me This Picture. He Called It The Most Judgmental Bathroom

goregyle Report

Factoring both men and women, the average person spends at least 92 days in the toilet over the course of their lifetime. We use the toilet around 5 to 7 times a day which adds up to 2500 times a year. If you factor in the minutes spent each time, it could be possible you are spending more than three months or three years of your life in the bathroom!

If you have that kind of toilet - you have servants standing by holding your tissue. :)

Seriously these pics need to have a) the name and location of the place or maybe even b) gps coordinates. Life's too short not to visit this toilet.

After that much tile and gilt, they ran out of money and that's also why there's no toilet paper.

I LOVE IT! But you'd think they would have ordered a gold colored seat/lid for it. I've seen them at amazon. It would have made this so much nicer.

The restaurant where I got married had a special bathroom just for the bride. The toilet was this massive wooden structure with a little lid, and a regular toilet beneath it. They told me it was so the bride didn't have to worry too much about pulling up her dress. I hated that thing! lol

Wasn't this the "throne" of the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Janukovitch, in his grandiose datcha (summer house)? He was chased away by popular anger and sought refuge in Putin's Russia.He was a corrupt fellow, so this throne is really what a man like him should have. I wonder if he built anything like it in The Sovi... sorry: Russia?

This is a toilet of a really rich Bulgarian family composed only by liars and corruption. They obviously doesn't even have a basic idea of a taste. The paradox in this pic is that their last name means Bathroom in Bulgarian. Banevi -> Banya -> Bathroom.

I thought of the Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall movie, Coming to America, which is being remade. There's a scene where the chief servant calls for the wipers after Prince Akeem asked if he might use the bathroom by himself.

This is why you should always pud the lid down. And of course also because when you flush, fecal matter flies around. You would not want that.

If you have ever wondered why someone is taking extra long in the toilet it may not be for the reason that you think. Surveys that 75% of people use their cellphones whilst on the toilet, whether it's texting, emailing or even taking phone calls. With this much cell-related bathroom activity it's no wonder that 7 million phones end up in the toilet each year.

Going to the bathroom takes up a significant amount of our lives, but using a proper toilet is something many of us take for granted. In 2001, November 19th was named as "U.N World Toilet Day" by the World Toilet Organization, "a global non-profit committed to improving toilet and sanitation conditions worldwide." The aim of this day is "breaking the silence on the sanitation crisis."

This Bathroom Is Making Me Want To Try Unrealistic Challenges

isaakwells Report

For a largely sedentary activity, using the toilet comes with lots of risks. A reportedly 85% of bathroom-related injures occur from someone falling into the toilet after the seat has been left up. Leaving the seat up was listed as one of the top bathroom annoyance for women - hmm looks like there is a correlation there.

-Firgun- Report

American Joseph Gayetty invented toilet paper in 1857 and boy is the world thankful. Americans use 433 million miles of toilet paper in a year, which is enough to stretch to the sun and all the way back.

We have all found some unsavory things in public restrooms, but regardless of how many people use these toilets there are actually no more bacteria in public toilet than in a home bathroom. The air in public restrooms is normally cool, dry, and filled with oxygen which is not ideal for supporting fecal matter bacteria. Our of the other germs found in these public bathrooms 68% of them we come into contract with just by being outside.

Not Exactly The Color Pattern You Like To See In A Bathroom

Not Exactly The Color Pattern You Like To See In A Bathroom

bergerNfries Report

University of Arizona microbiology professor Charles P. Gerba found that soap in public toilets can actually make you dirtier. There’s “so much fecal matter that you’re almost better off washing your hands in the toilet after you flush it,” said Gerba. Airborne bacteria finds its way into open dispensers and the over-dilution of soap mixtures make it less resistant to the germs living there - gross.
