Modern Bathrooms You Need To Pee In


Unless you’re feral, peeing in bathrooms is a mundane task. But pee in one of these crazy bathrooms, and it becomes a fantastical adventure!


By Zack Zeigler
Guys will pee anywhere. On the side of a highway, against a building, in a public swimming pool. Because of our anatomical makeup, we have the luxury of not being bathroom snobs.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate a good bathroom. And it’s nice to turn a mundane daily activity into something interesting (without getting arrested). And peeing into the gaping mouth of an alligator, or while people walk by inches away oblivious to what we’re doing, or while watching Goldfinger in a bathroom seemingly made out of gold definitely qualify as interesting.
And you can do all of those things in at least one of these bizarre bathrooms. Just be sure to wash your hands after you’re done.

The World’s Largest Public Bathroom | Chongqing, ChinaThis monstrosity in the home of our future overlords has 1,000 toilets, TVs, calm music playing, and urinals shaped like alligators, open-mouthed creatures, and, naturally, the Virgin Mary. And yet for some reason our favorite part is the sinks.
The That’s It! Bathroom | Queenstown, New Zealand
The urinals at the Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa are overseen by life-size photos of women holding stuff like a digital camera, magnifying glass — real funny, lady! — and measuring tape. Other women simply look on as though they’re either impressed or horrified. We’ll just go with impressed.
The Roseenmeer Facility | Mönchengladbach, Germany
Controversy erupted when the Rosenmeer Hotel in Germany unveiled its new restroom — and we can certainly understand why. The garish checkered background totally clashes with the classy, understated urinals.
The Floating Bathroom | Lake Powell, UT/AZ
The National Park Service hated people voluntarily adding to Lake Powell’s water levels, so they installed floating bathrooms to minimize contamination. For the fishes’ sakes, we hope it isn’t glass bottomed.












Best Western The Croft | Darlington, United KingdomWe’d opt to go for the distance record juuuuust in case we possess the fabled Magic Stream prophesied to reanimate the gargoyles. They look kinda hungry.

UriLift Triple | Europe
The UriLift Triple, a pop-up hydraulic urinal shaped like the escape pods fromSpaceballs, not only keeps boozers from literally flooding the streets and sidewalks after last call, but also serves as an excuse to drop Dark Helmet’s, “I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!” quote.
Dolce and Gabbana’s Gold Room | Milan, Italy
We’re not so much interested in blowing a ton of dough to eat at Gold, the spendy restaurant where this bathroom resides, as we are in commandeering the bathroom so we can pretend to be Superman in his Fortress of Solitude. (And yes, the plasma screens inside each stall do, in fact, play Goldfinger on a loop.)
The See-Through Bathroom | Basel, SwitzerlandArtist Monica Bonvicini’s piece entitled Don’t Miss A Sec is actually a functional bathroom encased in one-way mirrored glass on a busy sidewalk. We wouldn’t go near the thing though; it’s gotta be a favorite of public (but discrete) masturbators.
The Look Here Urinals | Sao Joao da Madeira, PortugalWe’d have enjoyed the 80′s movie Mannequin with Kim Cattrall and the dude fromWeekend at Bernies a whole lot more if it were about scantily-clad mannequins who had a soft spot for bondage and encouraged guys to whip it out.
