I recently did a presentation for Career Day at my daughter’s middle school, and to make sure I kept their attention, I decided to share some of my favorite toilet photos. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t like potty humor?! So here goes.
Painted toilet. I can’t make this up.
Laundry chute above toilet. One more reason to keep the lid closed.
And another.
Cool toilet flusher
Worst planter ever
Below an electric panel. For the record, electric panels are supposed to have 36″ of clear space in front of them. Also, note the location of the water meter.
Three obstructions in one
Toilet tank mounted next to garage door opener. This was a real head-scratcher. No idea.
There, I fixed it.
Hot flush
Hot Flush 2
ICUP Door. This was the only bathroom on the first floor.
Painter’s tape toilet seat
Toilet seat won’t close
I’ll use the woods, thanks.
Greywater toilet
Executive/VIP bathroom – that ancient thing on the wall is called a “telephone”. We used to use those devices to communicate with sound.
Crooked toilet/recessed wall
Another recessed wall
And yet another.
Ok, just one more.
A note from the sellers about their toilet, detailing what they suspect their teen flushed down the toilet.
Tight quarters. Toilets are supposed to have 24″ of clear space in front.
Speaking of clearance requirements…
Crazy toilet location. Yes, it was connected.
Water closet.
Lonely toilet.
Sock, apple, flapper.
Permanent toilet. You’re supposed to install the toilet on top of the tile, not tile around the toilet.
Return register next to toilet. That’s a great way to efficiently transfer bathroom odors to the entire house.
Strategic bath fan placement. Yes, an in-line exhaust fan is installed behind the toilet. Not a bad idea.
Old toilet.
Backward toilet tank.
That’s all that was fit to share. I’ll have something helpful or educational next week.

All the toilets in Japan have sinks like the greywater toilet shown in the photos, that drain into the toilet tank. It’s actually a good idea.

Greywater toilet is actually very common in Japan, with the faucet on top just as shown! Saves space and saves water. Of course you need water when brushing teeth and such too, so there’s always a regular standalone sink too.
