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!

    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.

    Ok but in the toilets defence, why are you balancing your toothbrush on the side instead of in a cup or something? And if you were brushing your teeth then why was the toilet so exposed?

    I think the sink was designed to collect used water to flush the toilet, hence the joined design. A very clunky design, though... not very well thought out.
