    Something tells me something else would be going on at that time that would leave enough people distracted, like an earthquake. In which case, you'll be glad it's not in your pants when it streams out...

    True, true.yes  Which leads one to believe that almost any number of sketchy things could be done and go unnoticed during an earthquake.  If one had the presence of mind to ignore the ongoing earthquake while engaging in one's sketchy behavior.enlightened

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is a supervillain tactic. Your super-secret lair needs an upgrade? Cause an earthquake to cover your theft of all the gold toilet seats and bathroom plumbing from the local Better Homes & Garderobes Shoppe. All the superheroes will be too busy to foil your plans. You might even have time to pop into the Jewels R Us next door so you don't need to worry about gift giving for the next year.

    Doesn't really matter.  One of the things one has to get used to in Japan is an attendant nonchalantly coming in and starting to clean the floor or fixtures while you're doing your business... and while the room may be marked "Men", the odds are that the attendant will be an older woman.  Kind of a necessity, really, as when you have individual subway stations that get 3.5 million people passing through every day, it's pretty much impossible to shut a bathroom down during busy hours.

    Speaking of gold toilet seats, I had a friend who had too much to drink and woke up after having a dream about sitting on a golden toilet... and his roomate was VERY pissed off about what happened to his tuba. :O

    Finland's that way too. Big culture shock the first time a female cleaner came in and did their work while I was sprinking holy water in the porcelain goddess.

    I didn't read the entire thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned, but I remember there was a free toilet seat given out as a christmas freebie, maybe as a way to address the missing seat issue?

    I found another Motel Bathroom where the toilet moves but although I thought it was mentioned there was no link to this thread in it's bundle or the bathroo

    Wrong thread but this bathroom needs to be much grungier to math the reast of the room. Nothing for CSI to do in here.

    Well not having a toilet seat deals with the issue of seat up - seat down. Now we have the Squat Master 3000. :-)

    The new DAZ+ restroom freebie has toilet seat that goes up and down.  However no urinal.

    It is, however, missing a lid and bolted to the wall, so unfortunately it's really only usefull for business/industrial situations.

    What public toilet has a lid?

    Port-a-johns do, but that's a different genre of public toilet.

    Quite a few actually, especially in Office/Warehouse type installations where the number of people using the facilities is fairly limited.  Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the lid is to prevent backscatter on the flush, so you're more likely to see lidless toilets in places where there is a cleaning service coming through every few hours, as otherwise the walls of the cubicles can get gross pretty quickly.   That's also part of the reason why so many industrial toilet paper holders have built in covers.

    Even in gas stations and department stores?

    Speaking for the US here, they can it just depends on weather or not it's a restroom with stalls or a single room sort of restroom. The former is less likely to have lids and the latter usually does.

    It's not a law so you can find some without, however yes, they can be found even in stores and dept stores. Some toilets will flush when one lowers the lid :-) Some will flush when a person stands up.
    Haven't check any gas stations recently but would expect that many still do.
    The "only" gas stations I recall having to avoid going anywhere near are on the highways through the mountains in Alberta. Nothing to with the toilets, it was the animals [read people with no basic training] that were using the floor instead.

    I hate auto flush toilets. They ALWAYS go off when you don't want them to.

    I prefer people flushing frequently to stinking up the restroom

    Over here (Finland), there isn't a toilet (public or not) without a lid unless someone has vandalized it.

    Solidarity. Bonus points when you're pregnancy sick. I learned to drape toilet paper over the sensor until I'm ready for it to go.

    I would recommend avoiding the I-5 in California like the plague then. For some reason California can't keep them clean nor fixed for the level of traffic on that roadway. Highway 101 or the old 1 is a better choice to go north or south, except around the Gaviota Pass. But get into Oregon and the I-5 toilets sparkle, as all the other freeways do around their state. At least in 2014. 

  • I found even Canadian Pit toilets at major road parking areas had toilet lids. Though, it has to be said that you didn't want to leave the lid up..

  • Apparently toilets in the Netherlands have a "shelf" inside. I'll let you Google why. Videos are on YT.

  • Same in the army quarters my dad was posted to in Germany in the 1970's. Very whiffy. Regards, Richard.

    I always avoid public restrooms but on the occasions where I have no choice I like them like Walmart's where you can just keep pulling the flush handle and a new jet of water like a white water river comes crashing through.

    Yeah, and that looks singularly uncomfortable and unhygenic to sit on given that the way that the tank is elevated up on the pipe means that most users of said device would find said pipe pressing in in a less than desirable position....  A real shame, as the vendor would have otherwise received bonus points for including small details like water streams for the faucets and showerhead (though not water splashes on the floor for the latter.)
