30 Funny Bathroom Design Fails That’ll Make You Want To Just Hold It

30 Funny Bathroom Design Fails That’ll Make You Want To Just Hold It

 

Two toilets with a shared toilet paper holder and a hand pressing a faucet.

I’m a home bathroom person. Always have been. There’s a very short list of public restrooms I’d voluntarily use and most of them are in airports or nice hotels, and even then it’s a last resort situation.

The thing is, a bathroom isn’t that complicated to design. You need a toilet, a sink, maybe a door that closes all the way. That’s basically it. The bar isn’t high. And yet somehow, repeatedly, people have managed to clear it from underneath.

Some of these look like they were approved on a Friday afternoon by someone who was already mentally on their way out the door. Here are the funniest ones.
