Uncle John’s loves to bring you the best in bathroom news, so here’s something he recently discovered: restroom ratings posted on the Internet. Are they legit? We don’t know. Are they accurate? We don’t know that, either. Are they fun? Definitely.
Finagle-A-Bagel, Boston, MA
Comments: “Large, unusually clean. Convenient location. Decent bagels, too.”
Unos Pizzeria, Phoenix, AZ
Comments: “The small urinals were a ridiculous four inches from the floor. At that height, even a dwarf would have to crouch to stay on target!”
Shinjuku Subway Station Men’s Room, Tokyo, Japan
Comments: “This pay toilet cost 100 yen ($1.00). Too expensive. But it smells good.”
House of Blues, New Orleans, LA
Comments: “The candies were a bit stale. The after-shave was not my brand.”
Castle Island, Boston, MA
Comments: “What a horrible bathroom. Dirty, smelly, perpetually ‘wet’ floor. I almost felt dirtier coming out than I did going in.”
The Shell Station, US-219 near Lewisburg, WV
Comments: “Upon opening the door to the men’s restroom, which was unlocked, a man already seated upon the toilet smiled at me as I opened the door. I quickly closed the door, never to enter again.”
Tabata Subway Station Men’s Room, Tokyo, Japan
Comments: “Worst toilet in Tokyo. Help! I’m nauseated.”
Syracuse Carrier Dome,
Syracuse, NY
Comments: “A unique bathroom. Instead of urinating into a urinal, you urinate on the wall. It then trickles down the wall into a small trough which carries the urine to God knows where.”
Pazzaluna, St. Paul, MN
Comments: “The small framed photos of pasta dishes hanging above the urinals were nice.”
