Elizabeth Davies: I would make a great restroom designer
The visitors bureau probably isn’t going to hire me for this particular brand of expertise, but I know just about every good public restroom in my area.
I haven’t been blessed with a bladder of steel, so I’ve made my way into restrooms at local restaurants, shops, gas stations, hospitals and schools. Some restrooms are out of the way and known by few. Others are easy to find — and leave you wishing that perhaps you hadn’t found them.
I’m not sure whether there is a market out there for a public restroom design consultant. In this economy, probably not. Nonetheless, I would make a good one. Certainly, I’ve put in enough time visiting and studying various public restrooms to have earned a doctoral degree in it.
The worst of the worst public restrooms are the ones with doors that don’t close. Putting latches on bathroom stalls isn’t exactly rocket science, so there’s not a good excuse for this
one.
Another top offender? Dirt. Grime. Gunk. The germaphobes among us know perfectly well that restrooms are filled with the things we don’t want to come into contact with. So when I see a restroom desperately in need of cleaning, I almost feel compelled to run home and shower.
