Confession: I have a weird obsession with interesting bathrooms. I’m sure part of it is because I have colitis/Crohn’s and like makeup so I spend an inordinate amount of time in bathrooms. However, it’s also partly because public and/or restaurant bathrooms tend to be generic. They usually follow a prescribed floor plan. Some sort of mica countertop. Mirror. Two to three stalls. Usually tiles or a plain white wall. Oh, and a floor with drains. They give character to the restaurant or store, but never to the bathrooms.
So when I see one that has flair, I do what any abnormal person would do. I take pictures.
Brimstone, a barbecue place in Gig Harbor spray painted a rack of ribs on its walls. The whole restroom was grafittied to the hilt, but something about what I initially mistook for a dung emoji turning out to be a rack of ribs saying “THIS RACK iS TASTY” made me pretty happy. So happy, that I ordered the ribs. Yes, I actually took menu recommendations from a bathroom wall. And he was right, that rack was tasty.
I’ll be honest, the gremlin biting the sink and telling me to “Spread kindness… Not Germs” was deeply disturbing. He may have haunted me in my dreams later that night. Either that or the rack of ribs I ate didn’t sit well with me after making friends with it’s comic counterpart in the bathroom.
My personal favorite though, was the mirror. For whatever reason they fenced it off. Then added a mustache for posers like me. I took the bait. #NoRegrets
Well these are definitely interesting. 😀
I found the bathroom waaaay too entertaining!
These are… different! I love Homer and the cute super hero (Is it Superman?) right above the soap dispenser.
Sorry to hear about your condition. xoxo
I have celiac disease, but they misdiagnosed me, so I was a “Crohn’s patient” for a few years. Yes, I was imposter, and I didn’t even know it!
I’m pretty sure it is Superman! They had stickers and decals ALL OVER that bathroom. Made for a pretty neat collage!
Digestive health issues are rough, and I’m sorry to hear you have Celiacs. They thought I might have celiacs at one point but after a false positive, it ultimately showed up as negative.
You would love the bathroom at one of our local Italian restaurants in my town. There is a life size Wooden plaque of a man in a bikini bathing suit. There is a wooden door over his privates that can be opened. When somebody takes a peak and opens the door, a loud buzzer goes off in the restaurant alerting everyone that you looked. Then when you go back to your table everyone laughs!
That. Sounds. AWESOME!
And I would totally peek. My curiosity will kill me one day!
