I was thinking yesterday about how it would be interesting to have a large warehouse-sized bathroom with a lone toilet in the middle that's surrounded by nothing else, so that whoever is using the toilet experiences extreme feelings of isolation and exposure.
I figure you all have much better ideas on how to make the most awkward bathroom in existence, so how would you design a bathroom if the goal was to inflict the maximum amount of psychological harm on the person using it?
All toilets are arranged in a circle facing each other, and there is one large roll of toilet paper in the center of the room.
this is how the Romans pooped, except with a communal sponge instead of toilet paper
EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylospongium
That actually seems like it would be kind of fun, assuming social shame/fear was taken out of the equation, as it was for the Romans. Imagine hanging out with friends and sharing your deepest bathroom thoughts in a giant communal gender-neutral bathroom.
apparently it had huge social implications, because there were certain topics you could only raise while you were both taking a shit. people would wait and try to go to the bathroom at the same time as people they wanted to ask certain favors of
can't find the article I read about this, will update
EDIT: not having much luck. I must not be remembering the right search terms
Imagining some new roman senator having to take a shit real bad but he's waiting for the consul to go first so he can ask a favor, but the consul never goes and this sad senator just ends up shitting his toga on the senate floor

You definitely read that on Chapo . Unfortunately I think @Katieushka fessed up and said she made it up lol
No i copied it from someone who later revealed they made it up
But you still bamboozled and lied to us. I'll never forget your betrayal comrade
:deeper-sadness:
Well you could always waste a bunch of money by building two bathrooms instead of one for no damn reason. You could also get bathroom stalls that don't touch the floor or ceiling so that you could easily peek through. If there's a heroin problem you could always just cut the stalls down even more. You could get the loudest, most obnoxious hand dryers in existence, and never clean the bathroom(s) in question.
Oh wait.
If there’s a heroin problem you could always just cut the stalls down even more.
terrifying, I'd need heroin just to calm down in that stall
cw: ableist commentary :/
My University's Restroom From Hell – (UCF) https://imgur.com/gallery/FJvcZah fuck, i haven't read it in a long time. i forgot it was so bad. should i just delete it?
its like 3-4 at the end, idk your call really, but id at least put the warnings.
I like the sink. The urinals on the other hand are an affront to God. So much water wasted.
Pretty sure every post in this thread describes a bathroom I've seen in my dreams
Lets see...
-
The floor would need to be wavy so that when standing the heel and toe of a foot would be on the high points of the wave with the arch of the foot over air,
-
floor drain would be right in front of the door on one of the peaks,
-
the room would be a long narrow rectangle where the entrance would be on one narrow end and the sinks would be on the opposite narrow end,
-
no privacy walls/doors between toilets,
-
toilets close enough together along one wall that that people sitting next to each other would have to make an effort to not touch knees or elbows,
-
on the opposite wall from every toilet would be urinals,
-
the walls would be about 4 to 6 feet apart,
-
at about 6 feet in height there would be a long mirror that would be angled to give a clear view of the toilets while using the urinals,
-
at around 5 feet 6 inches would be the toilet paper dispensers on the same wall as the urinals ( opposite the toilets),
-
the toilets and urinals would only flush when the sensor triggers and the sensors would be placed in a way with a sensitivity that makes them constantly flush while being used,
-
paper towel dispenser by the door but the trashcan would be by the sink,
-
if an air hand dryer is used it should be in the middle of row of either the urinals or toilets (probably on the urinal side so that the water being blown off of hands keep get at least one paper towel dispenser wet.

I saw a picture of an ol' "Pittsburgh Potty" in an old house that a guy was trying to DIY some features around to make it seem less like he was a serial killer between victims when guests toured his basement. I was like "goddam" because it's unnerving in its simplicity.

Going for a different direction than physical layout:
Have the toilet make various moans of pleasure or otherwise indicate that it is enjoying whatever the user is doing to it. Or the opposite sounds of disgust and hating the experience. Honestly not sure which would be worse...
I once found a "please flush" sign with a picture of a toilet on it in a stall. Someone drew an anime face on the toilet and added "toilet-chan loves to swallow your hot load, please help her do so".
Edit: forgot i still have a picture of it http://imgur.com/a/CW089yX
This is almost cheating but one of those one way mirror rooms, put it in a playground or something
Police make me nervous and uncomfortable. Bathroom police would make it impossible to go. My condolences to my trans comrades for having to deal with this irl. The only place these bathroom policing pieces of shit belong is in a toilet bowl after getting swirlied. :trans-heart:
Big ass glory hole. Pun intended. A giant hole 2 feet off the ground in a wall, perpendicular to the ground that you have to stick your ass straight through in order to shit straight down
