\"\"Public bathrooms in the United States: love them or hate them, you can\u2019t ignore them. From dingy gas station restrooms to overcrowded airport lavatories, public bathrooms in the US have a reputation for being, well, pretty terrible. A recent poll of 3,000 by Lavatory Lab<\/a> confirmed this hypothesis when they asked respondents to rank the public bathrooms in their state on a scale of 1-10. Overall, Americans rated theirs at an abysmal score of 5.2 out of 10. But why are they so bad you may ask?\u00a0<\/p>\n

First and foremost, the issue of cleanliness is a major problem in public restrooms. From dirty toilets to overflowing trash cans, it\u2019s not uncommon to encounter a bathroom that looks like it hasn\u2019t been cleaned since the Wild West. And let\u2019s not forget about the infamous \u201cbathroom odor\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another issue with public bathrooms is the lack of privacy. When it comes to stalls, there\u2019s often a fine line between \u201cjust enough privacy\u201d and \u201cnone at all.\u201d Case in point: the ubiquitous gap at the bottom of the stall door that allows everyone in the bathroom to see your shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, the lack of privacy isn\u2019t limited to stalls. Sinks and mirrors are often situated in full view of everyone in the bathroom, meaning that you\u2019re forced to engage in a game of \u201cwho can avoid eye contact the longest\u201d while you\u2019re washing your hands. And don\u2019t even think about trying to change a baby\u2019s diaper in a public bathroom. You\u2019ll be lucky if you can find a changing table, and even luckier if it\u2019s not covered in a suspicious sticky substance.<\/p>\n

Another issue is the lack of supplies. Have you ever entered a public bathroom only to find that there\u2019s no toilet paper? Or, even worse, what about a bathroom where the toilet paper dispenser is empty and there\u2019s no spare roll in sight? These are the kinds of situations that can make a person feel like they\u2019re stranded in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not forget about the toilets themselves. From faulty flushing mechanisms to unsanitary seat covers, public toilets can be a source of constant frustration. Some restrooms even feature toilets with dual-flush systems, which can be confusing for those who are used to a traditional flush. (Do you press the button for number one or number two? The answer, of course, is that it depends on the restroom.)<\/p>\n

When broken down nationally, public bathrooms in Wyoming were ranked as the worst in our great nation. Respondents here rated theirs at 3.5\/10, followed closely by those in South Dakota who gave a score of 5 out of 10. In fact, according to the survey, public bathrooms in South Dakota came in as 19th worst overall.<\/strong>\u00a0However, reviews from residents of Vermont were very positive \u2013 they ranked their public bathrooms at 8\/10.\u00a0<\/p>\n
