    flush for gays to enter your stall

  2. Paddy says:

    I had no idea that there were so many bathrooms which require such a level of clearance!

  3. impsonsay says:

    Now you can flush, AND see into the women’s locker room. Win-Win!

  4. Truthiness says:

    That’s a really crappy crapper. Use at your own risk.

  5. fLee~ says:

    That’s one sick glory hole.

  6. fLee~ says:

    Jigsaw’s toilet.

  7. Pat says:

    Is the pipe bent awkwardly, too? Or is that just the angle that the photo was taken at?

    • SCAScot says:

      No, it looks like the pipe came down about an inch to the right of where it connects to the toilet.

      Fail on multiple levels. In fact, I’d be surprised if a level was used anywhere in the construction of this.

  8. Daniel says:

    Finally our bathroom cutout series has gone 3D.

  9. Mightyoaks says:

    they only have straight pipe that day. damn you home depot!

  10. SCAScot says:

    “Look, the women are complaining that there’s not enough toilets in the women’s bathroom. Can we squeeze another toilet in there?”

  11. Bublik Barankin says:

    This is normal toilet, i have that too.

  12. Toni04 says:

    Is it just me, or is this place really going down the drain?

  13. nothanks says:

    Bob Villa he ain’t! Someone please that those tools away! Looks like they had to make a dent in the lower right where the bowl is. Wonder what the Shower looks like!!

    • Daniel says:

      Wow, yes. Good catch. There is definitely something going on there. Looks like they broke the tiles and then fixed the toilet to the wall with caulking or some such.

    • Unpro says:

      I noticed that too. At first I tot someone made a huge mistake with the flusher, then suddenly, woah! You misplaced the toilet bowl too?

      I really think re arranging the whole contraption is much easier than chipping out the tiles.

  14. Stef says:

    No thanks, I’ll use the Port-a-John.

  15. one small step says:

    And the handle couldn’t point to the left because…? Come on people! It’s not *that* difficult to adjust. *rolls eyes*

  16. Badgirl says:

    A little trickier to flush with the foot but still possible,

    • melba says:

      LOL
      I was just thinking about how much I would not want to stick my hand in there to flush it. So, you think it could be accomplished with the foot…I’d like to see that!

      • Anna Rexia says:

        I’m a long-time foot flusher when it comes to public toilets. It would take some doing and a size 4 or smaller shoe to pull that one off. I’d have to resort to a piece of tissue to push the handle. On the other hand (no pun meant), if I saw this mess, I’d have to pass (okay, that one I meant to use) and just hold it. The way that is set up, it all but guarantees people won’t flush.

      • Badgirl says:

        This will of course not be a classic ball of the foot in clogs or crocks flush. But, I’m pretty sure it could work, specially with pointy toe shoes/boots or potentially a heel hit.

  17. TJ says:

    To take a crap you’d have to sit on it sideways and rest your back on the wall.

  18. irongrill says:

    Measure once, cut twice.

  19. TheAntiCat says:

    Another great example of “why the Hell even bother?”

  20. Mark says:

    What they don’t realize is what they’re glimpsing is the work of the toilet’s attempts to escape while they sleep.

  21. Curtis says:

    Boy, that flushometer the handle goes into really looks ancient. I wonder how much hard water scale built up on the rubber gasket inside it.

  22. Blkgrrl says:

    Ewww! Gag! I’m sick just thinking about how to flush it or use it.

  23. This is the new flush designs.. Pull lever up for liquids and push down for solids. The hole in the wall is for your added convenience so you can push and pull simultaneously when there’s both

  24. erkkilaron says:

    I think this may me the most unique repair yet. I believe that is a motorcycle exhast.

  25. G. James says:

    I had a new toilet installed in a basement room that had a rough-in already. After they drywalled the room, the new toilet was too close to the wall according to city code (requires at least 6 inches clearance IIRC). Solution was to get a stool with a corner tank.

    This installation would also not pass code. Not only is the flush handle in the wall, the basin also touches the wall.

  26. D. says:

    There’s a perfectly reasonable explantion here: before the advent of the electronic eye which flushes the toilet automatically, the fancier joints had a midget inside the wall who reaches through that hole and flushes your toilet for you.

  27. Smores says:

    Poor toilet.. He should have used a poster of Raquel Welch to hide his progress of escape… He’s gonna have to shine a lot of the warden’s shoes now to pay for this costly error…
