Most embarrassing moments in a public restroom revealed
07 January 2016
We've all heard it told that many people are uncomfortable using public restrooms. Typically this refers to the fact that they are concerned about germs and disease. But public restrooms can also be the source of several embarrassing situations, according to a recent study reported by UK news publication Metro.
According to the study, the most embarrassing things that can happen in a public restroom include the following:
* Finding there is no toilet paper in the stall, (58 per cent)
* Not locking the door or stall door and someone coming in, (26 per cent)
* Entering the wrong gender's restroom by mistake, (23 per cent)
* Being physically sick in the restroom, (14 per cent)
* Clogging the toilet so it does not flush completely,(10 per cent)
* Someone in an adjacent cubicle starting a conversation with you, (9 per cent)
* Somehow getting locked in a restroom or stall and having to be rescued, (5 per cent)
* Falling asleep in a stall, (4 per cent)
* Dropping your phone in the toilet, (4 per cent)
"While in the US it is not at all common, another embarrassing moment for men is when they walk into a men's restroom in Europe and find a female attendant in the restroom," says Klaus Reichardt, CEO and founder of Waterless Co. Inc., makers of waterless urinals and other restroom products. "However, this is very common and accepted throughout Europe and many other parts of the world."
