Replacement Toilet Lids and Seats - Hilarious images reveal the most BIZARRE bathroom designs ever - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521


The number one thing nearly everyone will say they value in a toilet? That it's the only one in the room.
Yet some very poorly-designed bathrooms spotted by TwitterReddit, and Imgur users show multiple toilets crammed into the same space, at times even facing each other for a truly boundary-crossing experience. 
Others have posted horrifying images of doors that don't cover very much, urinals at awkward angles, and toilet paper that's much too far away to reach.
A few have even found clear glass walls, or else no walls at all — with one Redditor recently happening upon an Airbnb that had a functioning toilet in the middle of a landing in a set of stairs. 
The funny and distributing images are sure to have anyone feeling thankful for the comfort of their own commode — and hopeful they never encounter these weird designs in real life.

Some privacy, please? It's almost like whoever designed this bathroom thought simply putting a bit of space between the toilets was enough

Pivot! Sure, these urinals have nice little walls for privacy — at least for the end ones. Any guy who goes in the middle is sure to put on a show

Well, the bits are hidden, at least! In some sort of misguided money-saving effort, someone decided just covered up the toilet was private enough

At odd angles: There may be three urinals in this bathroom, but it seems unlikely anyone would be willing to pee while someone else is already using one

Space-saving measures! Yes, combining a bathroom and a kitchen saves space — but you know what they say about going where you eat
