Toilets, and specifically public toilets, can be a set of a lot of stories. Many are weird, others funny but often remain untold.
The site georgetakei collected the most interesting posts from Reddit taken from the answers to a question asked by the Redditor RuffNBoy.
“At the theater, I work at I was cleaning the men’s restroom and in one of the stalls was an open condom wrapper, a tiny empty bottle of the nacho cheddar seasoning we sell, and the seasoning scattered near the corner on the floor.”

“I was taking a dump at a movie theater and a little kid climbed under the stall and grabbed my foot. I screamed and kicked that kid so hard right in the face just out of sheer instinct. He cried. His dad said, “That’s what you get Gavin.”

“I was in a Berlin dive bar with some friends. In the bathroom, there was a vending machine, stocked with tinned tapas. So I came back from the bathroom with a can of olives. When asked where I got them I just replied “bathroom.”

These are just some examples of the strangest situations you can find in public toilets. They are a slice of someone’s life. Maybe something we were the only witnesses of. Maybe something usual. Or something will never happen again.
