So last night I was made aware that toilet enthusiasm is apparently a thing. Actually, the language used was toilet aficionado. I was never aware that there was any interest in this beyond their utilitarian purpose. This got me wondering if there were any toilet aficionados among us. Are there any?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOhpVN-U-s
Here's a video from an aficionado's channel that I found particularly amusing. I find his thumbing up flushes particularly funny. This channel also features some crappy road videos (no pun intended). Feel free to share your toilet enthusiasm here if that's one of your interests.
Toilets are pretty cool.
My mom used to blame me because the toilet wouldn't flush, or the wax seal in the toilet broke (which made it appear as if someone was peeing on the floor around the base of the toilet).
In my day, people used to pee on the seat.
How long will NE2 take to say something here? :sombrero:
:wow: :crazy:
The main floor toilet in my house is 50/50 on whether it will go down with a large load. It's a bit frustrating.
The one in the basement does better, but is less comfortable.
Anyone here have a "Pittsburgh toilet"?
I have a close family member who had one at their place that I think qualified - even though we're nowhere near Pittsburgh.

I have a Kohler in one bathroom and an American Standard in the other. The American Standard flushes better, so that's the one I poo in. It's also more comfortable, but since I am seated on it for a short period of time, that's of little concern to me.
For the record, I have never heard of a Pittsburgh toilet.

I won't poo in public toilets. I avoid it at all costs.
In eighth grade I purposely flooded the bathroom at least once a week during the first quarter because at least one of the toilets was broken at any given time. I was the one who did it because I was the only person whose legs could reach the lever from outside the stall.
Who else has been to the Kohler Design Center in Wisconsin?
People used to put things in the toilets all the time in high school. They do the same thing at every street festival around here.

You're not alone in that regard. In order for me to use a public toilet for #2 it has to be an emergency.
I used to have a student in my school that would flush the toilet repeatedly. Haha
Years before I started school there, someone blew up a toilet at my high school with an M-80. It was still an empty stall when I went there, and it always had pee on the floor.

How about blowing up a bathroom with fireworks, only a year after burning it? I went to a run down inner-city school only because it had the IB program.
There was a big toilet paper fire at my school.
I kind of dig the old tyme toilets with the chain since you can hide guns in them:
The bathrooms at my high school usually smelled of stale pee mixed with cigarette smoke.

The stalls in that school's bathroom aren't big at all, and the door would obviously need to be opened. I'm 5'11.
I installed a Kohler Nightlight lighted toilet seat (https://www.us.kohler.com/us/Nightlight-Toilet-Seat/article/CNT120400001.htm) in our master bathroom because my wife complained about it being hard to tell late at night whether the seat was up or down. It was only $5 more than the standard unlighted seat.
What I hate is having to sit on a round-front, as opposed to an elongated, toilet. We have the elongated (oval) toilets at home. When I go over to my parents' house, they have all round-front (and only one is "comfort height" ). The toilets feel tiny and the opening in the seat feels small.
Regarding high school–it's been a long time, but there were NO doors for privacy at my high school, just a shoulder-high partition between shitters. They also chained the TP to the wall and it was always sopping wet (I shudder to imagine why). Thankfully, I knew of a little-known handicapped-accessible locker room that had an enclosed clean toilet. If I had to take a crap, I went there, and I made sure my younger brother knew about it when he started at that school.
My middle school had the doorless stalls back when I lived in Connecticut. Thankfully that school ended up being replaced by a new building. It was just easier to walk to McDonalds down the block if you needed to take a number two rather than risk being assailed in an open stall. I seem to recall most stadiums had a pee troth at the time as well. Suffice to say building engineers didn't really care about minimalist privacy in the era.
Some people would flush toilets repeatedly to get all the excess that's on there. and some will do it to just be an asshole. xD

In houses where you can enter using the basement, it's a basement bathroom.
So, my understanding is the term "Pittsburgh toilet" describes a toilet that is simply sitting out in the open in the basement, with no walls or anything for privacy from the rest of the basement.
As opposed to a toilet in a corner of the basement which is partitioned behind a curtain - something that is somewhat common in old houses in New York City.

"It almost calls out to you....C'mon, step on up to the bowl, and make it a double !"
I guess that is it. The bidget that is. That is sort of like why in Thailand they have no stall in the bathroom for the shower as the whole room is the stall. The shower head is the movable ones because it's used to clean more than just your basics as I do not want to go into details either.
I've always had a weird bathroom obsession. My mom sent my to a private school once. There, I took the lid off the tank of both toilets, and pulled out the hose, and flushed, flooding both bathrooms. The dumbfuck teachers thought they were having plumbing issues, and had no idea it was me.
Also, this one chick refused to babysit me anymore. I took the lid off the toilet, and pulled the hose out. I flushed, and a geyser was hitting the ceiling.
I hate the non-elongated bowl models. They are just too small.
I actually have an idea to redesign the toilet, to eliminate as many of the problems with the correct design as possible. The biggest problem with the current design is that diarrhea blasts don't get cleaned off the back of the bowl when you flush. The second biggest problem is frequent clogging
Anyone here ever make poo Picassos?
I have not, but when I was in elementary school I had a classmate who still wore diapers. Whenever he finished shitting himself, he would go to the bathroom, fish the turd out, and make his artwork on the restroom wall. Dunno what happened to him after the fourth grade.

I'll never forget the time someone did that in the men's room AT MY OFFICE in February 2017. They called a men's-only meeting, except the office administrator (who was female) felt she had to attend. I felt sorry for her having to be there. After the initial part of the meeting when one of the male higher-ups said, "There's no delicate way to phrase this: Someone took a dump on the men's room floor," the meeting turned into several people noting problems with the men's room in general, including a lack of rubber mats in front of the urinals such that there were regular puddles on the floor due to people with bad aim. At that point, the female office administrator excused herself from further attendance!

There was a former employee in my office who had huge bowel movements in the restroom of our former office. We had three men's toilets -- one in the bathroom downstairs, and two in the bathroom upstairs. My office was downstairs so that's the one I used unless someone was already in there and I couldn't wait. For some reason, this former employee would use about an entire roll of toilet paper to clean himself up, then walk out without flushing. I wish I had a dollar for every time I needed to go to the restroom and ended up having to plunge the toilet because he couldn't take care of his own mess. One day, I'd had enough. I went down the hall to the manager who was in charge of building facilities, my anger building with every step I took. I'm not sure what all I said when I was venting, but I wasn't happy. Unfortunately, the situation never got any better despite everyone knowing who the guilty party was. I wonder if he does this at home?
He retired a few years ago, and clogged-up toilets ceased to be a problem in our old office building.

I'll just use this part.
I noticed in my office at work, even though there's 60 or so of us, about evenly divided among men and women, there's never really a problem with the bathroom (at least as far as the men's room goes). However, when there's visitors in the office, quite often the men will ultimately need to use the men's room. Suddenly that's when toilets go unflushed, sinks are left on (as we don't have automatic sinks), paper towels are on the floor, etc. So it would appear our guests, many of whom are trying to look their best to get contracts or commissions or whatever, apparently are also at their worst when it comes to using the bathroom.

This was actually a problem in my freshman dorm. There was one guy who, without fail, would clog one of the wing's 2 toilets within an hour of it being cleaned on Friday. Since bathrooms weren't cleaned on the weekend, this meant we were down to 1 toilet until Monday. On multiple occasions, I ended up having to call the emergency maintenance line because someone would clog the OTHER toilet.
My current office has a couple of single-sex restrooms and a couple of unisex restrooms. A few of the women adamantly refuse to use the unisex restrooms; one of them said it's because she doesn't like going in and finding the seat up. I pointed out that she should be HAPPY to find the seat up because it confirms that the guy who used it did, in fact, put up the seat (think of stadium restrooms where the seats are invariably covered in spatter or soaked because people take a leak with the seat down). She was rather stunned by that and didn't quite know what to say in response.
My bigger complaint about the unisex ones at my office is that there are a couple of people who apparently forget to lock the doors (naturally, the unisex ones are one-holers with shitters only, no urinals). I always knock now because on two separate occasions I've opened the door to find some dude sitting there taking a crap. One of them had the nerve to yell at ME for opening the door, as if it was my fault he didn't lock the door (and once the door closed I rather profanely told him to lock the door in the future). I suppose, in retrospect, I'm thankful it was a guy and not a female in there at the time. Even though it's the fault of the person who doesn't lock the door, I have a feeling I would have wound up in some sort of trouble had I opened the door on a woman sitting on the toilet.
I have had more than one friend that has been a janitor and they all say women's bathrooms are dirtier than men's.
Women spray the seats, just one example. Actually a woman I know does so somewhat proudly -- "I don't know who sat there before me, so I'll squat over it!" is along the lines of her logic.
Of the times I've used the women's room, I found basically no difference in cleanliness to the men's room. People don't typically throw feces and garbage around the room, no matter their sex, nor do janitors typically avoid cleaning one or the other. The main difference I've found is that a lot of men seem to lack the ability to replace the toilet paper roll; they'll just open a new roll, leave the empty tube on the holder, and stick the new one on the back of the toilet or on the handrail or whatever.
I worked in the janitorial department of a grocery store in high school. I will confirm Rothman's friends' accounts that the woman's restroom was usually messier than the men's. Biggest question I always had was, WHAT IS WITH ALL THE PAPER BITS?! They were everywhere. Toilet paper, paper towels, mystery bits... doesn't matter. It was like women enjoyed shredding paper while doing their business.
In middle school, the big thing was to throw soaking wet toilet paper at the ceiling so it would stick. And peeing on the floor.

Most public rest rooms I've used have TP fixtures where you don't replace the rolls. They are locked in, so no one steals that valuable TP. Right, cause I want to take that thin scratchy stuff home to use.
Of course I wasn't referring to those contraptions. I'm talking about regular ol' TP holders.

It's to keep kids from stealing TP to decorate someone's yard with. Or clogging the toilet with, or many other uses in this thread.
I worked for a few years in the warehouse that supplies local (this is a private enough board, I think I can get away with saying) 7-Eleven stores. Every month in the meeting the bosses ranted about how dirty the bathrooms are, and how we need to be more careful. It wasn't until I worked other places that I realized the other places regularly clean the rooms ever week or more often. Finally they broke down and hired a mother and son who argued with each other the whole time to clean the room. Even though they rarely cleaned the rooms, I got paid more at that job than at subsequent jobs, so now I know where my money is going.

How about this in our powder room at home? You simply lift up the right end, pull off the old roll, and put on the new one.

How about this in our powder room at home? You simply lift up the right end, pull off the old roll, and put on the new one.
Yep, I can handle that. It's not a perfect match with the first one I linked to, but I would categorize it very generally with "easy pop in and out".
I work at Target. The women's restroom is always way worse. (granted about 80% of our customers are women) The floor is covered with pieces of toilet paper. They very frequently clog the toilets. Yesterday they clogged the pipe in the wall and caused three toilets to overflow. We had to call a plumber.
The employee-only women's restroom for the longest time has a very strong putrid smell like dead fish. Don't know who was doing it, but the smell is gone now. I'm wondering if it was from somebody with messed up bowels, or if it was the tampon container next to the toilet not being cleaned out. One of the guys told me that "bad pussy" can smell like that
One of my most hilarious memories of elementary school is when a student crapped on the toilet seat, peed on the bathroom floor, and overflowed the toilet by flushing a whole roll of toilet paper. This was at a Catholic school, and an elderly nun called all the students into a classroom for an uproarious lecture about it. I had a really hard time holding in my laughter.
At a public school in 5th grade, our teacher lectured the class because someone was putting toilet paper all over the toilet seat and peeing on it.
Regarding Elementary school... because just about any school has something wrong with their restrooms for one reason or another:
-The people who designed it obviously didn't do a good job with the stalls- I'm 6" and I can see over the stall doors.
-Way too many kindergarteners pull their pants ALL the way down.
-Some kid in 2013 (3rd grade) slammed his head in to a mirror, broke it and it took about five years to replace it...
Back to High School... just today since kid stole the soap from the soap dispenser for the second time this week and started the "piss corner" where they pee in the corner of the restroom instead on the toilet. Watch your step!

You're only 6 inches tall!? :wow:
I went into a unisex restroom at the office today and found what looked like blood on the front portion of the seat. :angry: 🤮
In college, someone put an old magazine with a clown on the cover in the toilet.
I once heard a guy brag back in school that he flushed an M80 down the toilet in a McDonalds in Upstate NY someplace along NY 17 near Hancock, and it went off busting the plumbing. I do not see that happening as the fuse to the firecracker would be put out do to the lack of oxygen from the water.
Anyway he said that there was a loud thud when it went off and an Out of Order sign was on the bathroom door the next day.

Someone flushed an M-80 down the toilet at my high school years before I attended school there. That's why there was a stall with no toilet.
Also, back before I went to school there, there was a dance where someone clogged a toilet by trying to flush a jacket. Since the toilet was ruined, people went outside and peed on the biology teacher's car.

under the door.

I can see under the doors too, if I crouch down. Unfortunately, the women tend to scream when I do that.

Maybe he meant six inches lo.....well, never mind.
How could it be possible for an ignited firework to go off in a tank full of water? Wouldn't the water extinguish the flame upon contact? I've always been skeptical of claims that people flushed lit fireworks and they blew up the toilet.

I've never tried it, but I would think you'd have to light the fuse, let it burn most of the way down, and flush the toilet such that you can drop the firecracker into the whirlpool just before the fuse burns all the way down so that it enters the pipe and explodes before it really has a chance to get wet. Seems dangerous.
I swear, based on the way some of the bathroom doors are installed, that it takes an advanced doctorate degree to design them properly.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when someone still hasn't figured out how to slide it into holes.
Locks are tricky that way, I suppose.

I used to buy waterproof firecrackers when I was growing up. I could light one, drop it into a bottle of water, screw the cap on, toss the bottle up in the air, and watch it explode. I have no idea if M80s are waterproof, but it's certainly possible for a wick to burn underwater.
I will never forget the motel my mom took us to stay at in Montreal. It had a loud toilet similar to that of a toilet on the upper floors of a skyscraper where it would roar when flushing. This was a ground level room, but had some sort of pumping device to pump the water fast into the toilet in our room hence why tall buildings flush loudly.
My Aunt Jenny was elderly at the time and would need to go every half hour all night long from the massive amounts of coffee she drank. All night long that damn thing would wake me up as Aunt Jenny went to release her coffee.
