Waffle House Hwy 54 Peachtree City, GADust




Waffle House Hwy 54 Peachtree City, GA


That's right. It's time for some Waffle House! Everyone is going to be expecting a low score so let me spoil it for you early.


4/10


A lot of you (probably 2 of the 3 that read this) are probably going to walk away now and not bother to read the rest. Thats perfectly fine too! I am going to type the rest of the review though for the one guy who likes my articles. Well here's the first picture:


I wouldn't walk across that floor barefoot.

Looks like a good starting poooiiiiinnnt... Anyway the toilet is first. I'll make this quick. The toilet and the sink (which I'll get to) are the ONLY clean things in this lavatory.


I spy something caucasian.

The toilet may be a bit cleaner because they left a brush next to it? "I hate cleaning bathrooms man. Let's leave a brush next to it so eventually when someone gets grossed out enough they'll clean it themselves instead of running out and complaining to management." It could also be from the fact that this flushes VIOLENTLY. I had to back into the corner on the opposite side of the room to avoid little piss droplets from hitting my gorgeous face. Moving on. The toilet paper is pretty easily within reach but the holder is prehistoric.


Science is going too far.

Now we'll cover the sink. Clean as well with a good soap dispenser, mirror and hand dryer.


Scrub your nightmares away.

Now hand dryer has its own special story. It has the label "airforce" on it. This probably because I think it is a literal jet turbine bolted to the wall blasting air on your hands. This thing is no joke. The sound it makes could make toddlers start crying. As for the paper towels and trashcan...


The trash was a bit shy and the air vent photobombed.

You guys know how it is. The paper towels always have to be on the other side of the room. At least trashcan is in a somewhat decent place this time being pretty close the door. I had to stretch to throw the towel away but I could do it after opening the door.

Now the part I want to get to: the dirt on the floors. It looks like the floor has not been mopped in probably a year. Which is a problem considering the toilet pretty much explodes every time someone flushes it.


Dust, piss, dirt, shit, you name it and it's here.

Pretty disgusting under the sink too around that drain in the floor.


That may or may not be pieces of toilet paper clogging part of the drain.

Now my favorite part. The strange green shit in the corner next to the brush. I'll give you the honor of naming this new species of fungi.


Is that...? Fur?


I've said this before but I'm not really that strict when it comes to dirt but this dirt is older than the letters I'm using to tell you about it. No excuse for that it's just disgusting.

In conclusion it's a typical Waffle House bathroom. One person and dirty. The dirt on the floors is pretty unappetizing so make sure you before you enter. The toilet and hand dryer could also possibly kill you. So anyway not much else to say so until next time...

It's like a bacteria massacre...

Taco Bell Peachtree City, GA

Taco Bell Peachtree City, GA


This a one person restroom. There is something special about these. Something that feels very depressing. They are kind of like prison cells only you have someone banging on the door constantly telling you to hurry up and finish your sentence.

Here is the general layout of the place. Introducing your new cell.

And your new roommate.

The toilet is usually a great place to start so I will talk about that first.

Press 1 for flush. Press 2 for Overdrive.

The toilet looks pretty clean minus the unknown black speck on the right tip of the seat. It is not automatic though! It is one of those strange toilets with the two buttons. The two buttons are both labeled. One with one dot, and one with two dots. Hitting the one dot will flush the toilet one time while hitting the two dots will flush the toilet... 

POP QUIZ: How many times?

a) six

b) 11

c) two

d) All of the above.

If you chose "c" then you pass and get to move on to the awkward trashcan. If not then I suggest you start thinking up excuses to tell your mom when she asks you why your grades are so low after this quiz destroys your average. Anyway there is an option for two flushes just in case your shit almost rises out of the bowel. Now as for the trashcan. That is a very weird place for it I would say, and what makes it even weirder is that is the ONLY trashcan in the bathroom. I will revisit this issue in a little bit.

As for the toilet paper I was very pleased to see that it was easily in reach from the seat. You know how I think: The less movement involved the better.

Perfectly round, metal, and within reach!

Next is the sink which is really good actually. 

My hands never felt so clean.

Look at that! The facet is flawless. Easily adjustable water temperature and pressure. No more accidently splashing ice cold water on your shirt with one of these. The soap dispenser is easy to use and actually automatic! (I will admit I kind of like it when the soap dispensers are.) The hand dryer is immediatly to your right from the sink and automatic as well! Guess what? Yep! The paper towels are out of place again! They are a little over to the left this time around so you may have to walk a few steps to get to them.

Remember that awkward garbage can? Well it is next to the toilet still which is a couple steps farther from the towel dispenser and across the room from the door handle. See the problem? Good luck grabbing the door handle with a paper towel this way. You may be thinking that you could just open the door then toss the used towel at the garbage Kobe style. You can not do that unfortunatly because it is one of those trashcans where you step on a lever so it opens. So no. Use your hands or your shirt to get out.

Just a small detail I want to mention. These drains are a nice touch in case the bathroom floods or people decide to piss on the floor.

He drinks more water than you.

In conclusion the restroom was not terribly dirty or anything, but it just felt depressing and had one of the worst places for a trashcan I have ever seen. Despite the flaws not feeling disgusting is always a good thing, but the feeling lonley and contained plus some jerks pounding on the door sure is. Unfortunatly it is a public restroom so you can not expect a band or anything to play for you while you do your business so I will not take off points for being boring. But what the hell is with that trashcan?!

I really hope that is soap on the floor.

QuikTrip Newnan, GA



QuikTrip Newnan, GA


Gas station bathrooms... Who knows what you'll find beyond it's sketchy doors? I went into a QuikTrip recently in Newnan, Georgia and I am going to tell you what I thought of it.

Odd layout makes it feel cramped.

On the surface it does not look half bad. The strange layout makes it feel a bit more cramped than it actually is, but it did grow on me a bit. It just made it a little bit more difficult to take some pictures.

This time we got some quality literature to read while we urinate.

No pressure! You are covered from nearly all sides!

I will start with the urinals again. They have that typical automatic flush built in but it did not bother me as bad this time. Why? Look at the plastic urinal netting (or screen) in the bottom. This net is nice because it hides everyone's nasty piss colored water with it's bright and happy color. So the automatic flusher did not work? No problem. This net will hide the disgusting discoloration all while having a built in air freshener! Pretty good deal. The screens between the urinals were pretty dope as they were made out of the same tile used on the floor and walls. I like the consistency, and the black tile stripe going all the way around the perimeter of the room even goes over the screens! The last thing I will note is the reading material for me to feast my eyes on while I try to pass my kidney stone. Sure it was a short sentence with 4 words and a URL but I may actually check out their new website now.

Next is the stall. I hate to disappoint everyone but I only had access to the closest stall when I took these pictures. I can imagine the next one over not being to much different. I will let you decide. Anyway here is the picture.

Low seat. I like what I see besides that.

First off the stall door was pretty neat with the nice handle on it. Once I opened it however I was greeted with another low toilet bowel. I guess you could argue that they do this for the kids but I doubt their toilets at home go this low to the ground. The toilet paper dispenser was positioned very well and easily within reach. Even on this short bowel. Not a fan of the dry wall dust coating the back of dispenser though. I try to be generous when it comes to a bathroom being dirty because employees have good days and bad, but this dust looks like it has been there awhile which should not have happened. The seat paper is once again in place above the toilet. Very nice. The missing chunk of floor tile though is a bit on the ugly side. My eyes are just kind of drawn to it.

One more thing about the door. Something was splattered on it, and it had been there a while too. What was it? I do not know and I do not care. It was just gross.

Something was explosive upon exit.

Lastly I will go over the sink and paper towel dispensers. I actually can not complain much about the sink.

Pretty simple setup. Why mess with a good thing?

The sink was very convenient with it's setup. The automatic facet works really well and is not overly sensitive and the soap dispenser was full and had no trouble squirting the coconut smelling germ murderer into my hands. As for the paper towels, they were both very close to the sink though so there was no risk of the floor being wet as long as some dudes do not miss the urinal. One of them did have an issue however.

Poor guy has seen better days.

I tried using this dispenser to the left of the sink first. I pulled down that white knob over and over again to get out my paper towel, and every time I pulled it I just felt and heard rusty metal plates grinding together. The knob even got stuck at the bottom for a second at one point and then sprang back up a couple seconds later. It is time for a new dispenser Quiktrip.

The second one was an automatic dispenser. Not much to say. It worked fine and I like how it was placed right next to the door handle. I will also note that both had a convenient garbage can under them.

The future is now.

In conclusion the restroom looked pretty good at first but soon began to change my mind when I saw that it was not very well kept. Some things needed to be replaced or fixed, while others were long overdue for being cleaned. I try not to be picky about dirt in these reviews but the crap everywhere had been there for awhile. No excuse for that. There are worse lavatories out there. When I find them you guys will be the first to hear about them. Till next time.

Walmart Peachtree City, GA



Walmart Peachtree City, GA


Alright my first post! The first victim of my public bathroom reviews will be one almost everyone is familiar with: Walmart.

Look familiar? Everyone has seen one.
Before we begin I feel like I have to mention the strange looks you get taking pictures of the walls in public restrooms. They stare at you like your some sort of pervert and the only response I could give them is: "How you doin?" It is as awkward as it sounds.

Anyway forget them. My mission is sacred. My goal is to make people think about public restrooms in ways they never had before. So lets get started.

The bathroom I am reviewing is located in the Peachtree City Walmart in Georgia (the state not the country). The layout was your basic Walmart lavatory. Looks O.K. from this angle but there is some awesome detail when you take a closer look.

#1. Spotless.
#2. Surprisingly white.





















I first noticed that the urinals were completely spotless. This felt a bit unusual to me with it being a Walmart toilet and all, not to mention the trash on the floor I noticed when I walked in. In addition to the clean urinals, are the perfect steel urinal screens. Any man can not emphasize just how important these tiny dividers are. Every dude has been in a movie theater restroom where there are no urinal screens. Not only are you fish-eyeing your penis, but it can be very difficult for some men to relieve themselves when under such pressure. (You know who you are.) Anyway the screens pictured above are the perfect height and width so no one will be able to easily peek at your manhood. That's a huge plus. The downside is I hate automatic toilets. The sensors never work quite right and can sometimes cause your piss or someone else's to just chill in there for awhile or flush randomly while you use it. No one is ever thrilled about walking over to a toilet or urinal to find that the water is everything but clear. I understand automatic flushing is there so people can not leave their waste in public toilets but I still do not like how unreliable they are. Any decent person will flush a toilet when they are finished anyway. I am being picky though, I can survive with automatic flushing. It is not that big of a deal.

Next is the stalls. They looked pretty average but certain smaller details did catch my eye.

I always hated how narrow the first stalls are. At least the toilet is clean.

I was never a fan of the first stall in public men's restrooms. They're always so narrow and when you're inside and everyone knows that you are in there. However this stall was really not too narrow. You could easily walk in, turn around, and walk out without any issues if you are under 300 pounds. It has automatic flushing like the rest of the toilets in the bathroom and the toilet paper looks to be easily reachable from the seat. The seat itself however is extremely low to the ground. If i can nearly touch my knee with my chin when I sit down then that should be a hint to get a taller bowel. Also there was some toilet seat covers (did not make it in the picture) above the toilet itself which is always nice for the germaphobes.

My favorite part of the stall however was the illegible vandalism on the right panel when you walk in.

EGD? 6CZD?

Going forward to the far stall I walked in and saw what looked like this.

More annoying than it looks.

It looks pretty good at first glance. Once you have sat down and done your business though your going to realize just how far away the toilet paper dispenser is. If I have to pick my unhappy ass up slightly and take a baby step closer to reach some toilet paper than there is an issue. Everything else about the toilet was the same except for some toilet paper I found floating in the water. Automatic flush does it again. The trashcan is pretty convenient at least. 

Speaking of the trashcan I noticed this mark on the wall behind it.

Scars of the past.

Something apparently used to be bolted to the wall right there. The problem is they did not try anything to cover up the marks and holes. It is just ugly.

Finally its time to move on to the sinks and hand dryer.

The automatic sink. Wasting or using water is impossible.

I may sound like an old man saying that everything automatic is awful but I would easily pick the automatic flusher over the automatic sink! We have all used these Walmart automatic sinks, you put your hand under the nozzle and nothing comes out. So you start wiggling your hand around and think to yourself: "Is it broken?" Then you finally realize your hand has to be a millimeter away from the nozzle for the water to start coming out. So you grab some hand soap from the dispenser (Excellent soap dispenser placement in this bathroom by the way). Only to realize the water stopped almost immediately after removing your hand. This forces to keep your hands practically touching the nozzle the entire time you lather them, which is nearly impossible. Everyone has their own way to deal with this but there is no reason for the sink to be THAT sensitive. 

The hand dryer is a good place close to the sink and luckily was not one that was too loud.

Automatic hand dryers work well consistently.

If you like to use paper towels though then you may be a bit out of luck. The dispenser was located on the opposite side of the room! Why? Who knows? It is a terrible idea though because this makes you have to walk across the room with dripping wet hands to the dispenser. This can actually be a bit of a hazard when you think about it. Anyone who wants to use paper towels will make that walk causing a damp floor which can cause people to slip. Unlikely but possible.

At least the garbage can is conveniently under the paper towels.

In conclusion the bathroom was not as bad as I was expecting. Some things could be better placed for more convenience but it is very difficult to get something like this perfect considering it can also depend on the person using the bathroom. I was in and out of here easily despite the errors and can say that I have seen worse. I am sure I will see worse in the future as well.
