At the Newseum in DC, the bathroom walls are tiled with news mistakes: awkward headlines, typos, etc. People will often get distracted reading the tiles and spend much more time in the bathroom than planned.

I’m a recent alum of Notre Dame and I agree. I used to walk through the Main Building just so I could use the bathroom there!

As an ND student, I have to say our Dome’s bathrooms are pretty sweet. But on gamedays, the male saxes all huddle into the 1st floor mens room (pictured in the article) and play the fight song. Rally for Sax in the Bathroom!

My parents, who live in Cincinnati, took me to Jungle Jim’s last time I visited. OMG, that store is *amazing*. The best part, to me, is the international section; there are multiple aisles for an amazing array of countries. The bathrooms are a hoot, too.

Jordan’s furniture in Natick MA has stalls with one-way mirrors (in the IMAX theater area). You can see people walking by, or even peering at your door to fix their hair.

It’s a little creepy, but it gets points for being unusual.

The Safe House in Milwaukee, WI. One of the men’s room doors opens to reveal nothing but a brick wall. The women’s room has a one way mirror so they can spy on their husbands. The real men’s room is fairly hidden. Of course, this is if you can find the place at all, as there is no sign outside to tell you of it’s existence.

there is an Irish-themed resaurant here in Davenport, IA that has a self-proclaimed “world’s smallest bathroom.”
and boy they aren’t kidding! i pity the people that come in larger sizes.
i apologize that i can’t remember the name of the place.

There is a sandwich shop in Wichita, Kansas that has one-way mirrors in the bathroom so you can see people eating, getting refills at the soda fountain, etc. while you are in there. It can be a bit unnerving.

If anyone has ever been to Nemacolin Woodlands, you know where your money is going. I worked there for “Royal Reception” one year and was totaly blown away by the portapotty. Its actually a trailer with 6 stalls thats air conditioned. They have the really nice cloth paper towels, the sinks have a star design in them, the faucets are real and the toilets are auto flush. The restrooms in the hotels ain’t too shabby either, but man, these topped anything I’ve ever seen.

A little different. My parents love to tell the story of how I decided that I was potty-training while on a three day car trip to Arkansas. It involved a station wagon, 3 kids under the age of 4 and my decision that I would only go in a bathroom if it was “pink or pretty”. No accidents, apparently I trained so suddenly, but my mom always said that she saw every gas station bathroom on the way to Arkansas and very very few were pink OR pretty.
