I was recently caught short on holiday up in Northhumberland, I was desperate to unleash the chocolate hostage and needed petrol so pulled in at the first services I saw.
I filled up the tank and paid the cashier, at this point I was close to touching cloth so dashed of to the toilets which were in a dodgy portakabin at the back of the store.
This thing looked like it had been turned down by a third world country and the smell could have made a dung beatle gag.
I quickly did a sweep of the available cubicles whilst trying to restrain the turtles head and finaly found one which didn't have poo smeared over the seat.
I gave the seat a very quick wipe and pulled my trousers down, no time to flush away evidence left by the previous occupant.
What followed was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. A turd of mamoth proportions exploded from my bottom and entered the bowl like a torpedo, it caused the most almight splash back and showered my tender parts with stale urine from the bowl.
After desperatlely cleaning myself off with toilet paper which more resembled sand paper I got back into the car and dashed straight back to my hotel for a shower.
My advice to anyone who has no choice but to use a public toilet is to go for the disabled ones, they are normaly in a much better state.

Quick wipe. Plop down. AFTER making sure the bowl doesn't have the leftovers of anyones dinner in it.
Portaloos? Avoid at all costs, especially during the summer. 40+ degree heat and cheap (read, Pricey) showground food = BAD

Ba-da-BING, that was a zinger .
A thread on public toilets eh? The ones that have alien species in them? Yeah, I know how bad they can get; at least in the woods you don't risk death by crackhead assault .
And a riddle for you too...

I never ever use them now, I had a very nasty experience once..
Many moons ago I used to be a painter and decorator and as such got to work on many building sites and being a building site they have no real plumbing apart from portaloos, usually I would wait until I had got home but I had a takeaway and beer the night before and I really could not wait a whole 5hrs suntil I got home and besides which I was sweating and I could feel a turtle head emerging so I rushed frantically through the building site like I was on an episode of Gladiators and made it to the portaloo, I got in there and I almost passeed out it was like the Great Unlcean one had been festering in there! flys galore crap everywhere and it looked like there was no water in the pan and to top it off no paper! I had to hover over the seat and fumbel through my pockets for something to wipe my ass on, some old tissue and a mars bar wrapper! (not recommended) and some note paper and yes I got a damn paper cut on my ass as well.
So to all those thinking about going in a portaloo don't..

Generaly I'm just taking one of the boys in as they are the ones who need the toilet, so I have learned where to avoid like the plague. Being male it's easier when it's just a urinal thats needed, even the boys have started using them thankfuly.
And I can vouch disabled toilets are always in better states, I can even justify using one
I avoid public restrooms unless its unstoppable. Alert level has to be something similar to, "Torpedoes are loaded, and Russians are in our personal space captain." Anything else and I hold it....

See this is why I love my school we have no disabled boys but still have the facility's, but best of all no ones caught on to this but me resulting in my own personal bathroom which is of course the cleanest in the school
