Call me a germophobe, but I rarely use public bathrooms.
I mean, have you seen the movie Contagion?
Recently, I had dinner at one of my Old City favorites and used the bathroom there for the first time. When I was washing my hands, I was greeted by this lovely reminder to employees for whom anal cleanliness must be an issue.
Clearly, the toilet artist made “hands” into “anus.” Brava, lady and bonus points for your tongue in…ahem…cheek creativity.
Can you guess the restaurant?
(Clue: Bacon grease popcorn)
I have no idea the restaurant, but that sink looks skanky! I don’t like to use public restrooms, but after being pregnant and having no choice I’ve figured out where I can and can’t go. I like department stores in shopping malls, Target, and certain chain restaurants. If you’re on a road trip, hotels are always a safe bet for clean bathrooms. There’s no way they’re going to have filthy, outdated bathrooms near the check-in desk.
Keeley, trust me–it was an emergency. It’s funny when I’m dining out with people and they ask me where the bathroom is–I rarely know because I try to avoid public restrooms. This particular restaurant is a dive-y kind of place anyway–food’s amazing but the bathroom is a real turn-off. Good tip about the hotels–never thought of that.
