A poll on bathroom emergencies looked at the worst possible restroom options. Can you guess the #1 place we don't want to go #2?
PORT-A-POTTIES were voted the worst restroom option. 59% of Americans ranked them at the top.
The rest of the worst five are: Gas station bathrooms . . . toilets at public parks . . . restrooms at crowded concerts . . . and toilets on buses and trains. Airplane bathrooms just missed the top five in sixth place.
Here are a few more stats from the survey . . .
1. The top three things that gross us out in public bathrooms are: People not flushing . . . when they miss the toilet completely . . . and wet or messy floors.
2. Two-thirds of Americans would rather go to the bathroom OUTSIDE than in a gross public bathroom. And plenty of us have done it . . .
76% have gone in the woods . . . half have peed on the side of the road . . . 42% have gone behind a car . . . and 36% have peed in a body of water before.
3. 73% of us have used a toilet for "customers only" without buying anything.
4. 40% have peed in a bottle when a bathroom wasn't available.
5. Have you ever decided to hold it until you find a better option? Our top five reasons for doing it are a lack of cleanliness . . . bad smells . . . no toilet paper or soap . . . a fear of germs . . . and a lack of privacy.
6. 35% of us regularly hold it in until we can find a good bathroom option. The average amount of time we'll hold it for is 1 hour and 23 minutes.
7. Last stat: 7% of Americans . . . or 1 in 14 people . . . admit they've held it too long before and SOILED THEMSELVES.
