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 Twitter, Reddit, 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

+26

His and hers: These side-by-side toilets are way, way, way too close for comfort

+26

Why even bother? It's possible the person who installed these doors accidentally put them in upside down — but for some reason, they still walked away and patted themselves on the back

+26

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

+26

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

+26

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

+26

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

+26

Stop and stare: All this bathroom needs is a chess set in the middle

+26

Tushy time! Are all the private bits hidden? Sure. But everyone in this bathroom will still be butt to butt... to butt

+26

A step up: One Redditor was horrified to notice this toilet at an Airbnb

+26

Huh... Wonder if the owners of this home consider this a 'half bath'

+26

Awkward... This situation could make for some very, very personal staring contests

+26

When practicality goes out the window: Any person using this toilet would have to waddle, pants around his or her ankles, to get to the toilet paper

+26

Honeymoon is over! Just because you'll share a hotel room with someone does not mean you're OK with them seeing you on the toilet

+26

Not hiding anything! The stalls in this public bathroom have frosted doors

+26

How odd! This layout isn't so much awkward or embarrassing, just totally impractical. A toilet right in the middle, really?

+26

Wait, someone's gonna need that! This hotel bathroom has the toilet paper in another room from the toilet

+26

Tucked away... While in this bathroom, the roll is hidden inside the cabinet

+26

That's tight! Space was clearly limited when this toilet was hooked up halfway under the sink

+26

Lean forward! Anyone using this toilet would have to sit at a very awkward angle

+26

They sell those? Even a very, very thin person would have a hard time sitting on this super-skinny toilet

+26

Look closely... At first glance, this bathroom seems normal. But just think about how absolutely filthy that carpet must be!

+26

What a choice! Oddly, just one of the urinals in this public bathroom is sectioned off for privacy

+26

Variety's the spice of life! This super-short door might hide a person's face, but it won't 

disguise the business. Even stranger? The stall next to it is a normal length

+26

Art over function: The doors in this bathroom have a 'decorative' design — that features spiral cut-outs for a peek at what's inside

+26

Gross! It seems like this 'sink' might have been re-purposed
