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?

    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.
