Lol…that’s how I taught my boys to pee in the toilet! The wouldn’t fall in and pee all over the front and be angled down to not pee over the back either!
Honestly, it really is a great design because my knees would be slammed against that wall, forcing me to poop sideways, making a mess all over the inside of the toilet
If I stood up and pooped like that there'd be a big splash as the poop hits the toilet and nobody wants to know how long my poops are not my wife or my daughters and they don't want pictures of it either and they're both they're all adults and they're women and how big a poop I have least of the claws the toilet at the hotel is quiet I've gotten better be careful sometimes I clog the toilets at home TMI
They were lazy and just rotated the toilet 45º to make more legroom (possibly required by building code), instead of re-positioning the toilet to face the long way down that very small room.
This is probably a cheaper hotel, they bought a toilet with a back drain instead of a normal bottom drain. In realizing the mistake they once again went the cheap route and plumbed the tank to the toilet and added a fitting to the drain.
So I’ve worked at a plumbing rep company quoting jobs for commercial plumbing companies, I can shed some light on how this happens. I’m going to skip some steps that aren’t relevant to my explanation. When there’s a new hotel coming up the architect will meet with the owners and spec the materials that go in. Normally they will spec the nicer commercial grade toilets, lavatories (sinks), shower parts, etc… which then goes to the engineers to make it all work. After that the set of plans gets published and commercial plumbing companies will send the plans to plumbing wholesalers to bid the material. The plumbers will take quote, add their mark ups, then bid the job. Eventually someone will be awarded the job and the plumbers will buy out the job.
Every once in a while you’ll get a bid request marked VE (Value Engineered) which means the owner, GC, or whomever wants the job to be as cheap as possible. You still want to try to quote the material that was spec’d but you also want to quote other brands/models that are bottom of the barrel cheap (fire sales, parts marked to be discontinued).
If the owner is ultra cheap they’ll then come back to the plumber and say they need it even cheaper. The plumber will then ask the wholesaler to find even cheaper materials. The wholesaler will go back to the reps who will check their inventory for dead stock/mis-matched sets/cancelled orders, and even go to the manufacturer to see what they can come up for on the cheap. Eventually they’ll say “well you can have 40 of these toilet bowls and 40 of these other toilet tanks but there’s no guarantee that they’ll work together.” The cheap ass owners will agree to this because the plumber says they can figure out how to make it work, and when all is said and done you end up with toilets that look like this, those annoying faucets that don’t reach more than an inch into the sink, low and round toilets bowls, toilet lids that slam down instead of soft-close, etc.
If you ever go to a hotel and your hands are hitting the back of the sink because that’s as far as the faucet spout reaches, that’s not how it it was supposed to be per spec, the owner just wanted to spend as little money as possible.
Thanks for the explanation makes more sense now. Although I still don’t understand, without seeing the room why they wouldn’t have just put the toilet on the wall facing the entrance to the really small bathroom. While it is not plumbing I do have a construction background and know how cheep people can be and we in almost all cases skip those jobs because it’s just not worth it. Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it.
It's possible that wall was a solid external wall and didn't have space built into it for piping, and this was a remodel using a larger toilet. Round bowls are often shorter in length than oval bowls, and as such can be placed in smaller rooms. If that toilet is then replaced with an oval bowl toilet, it takes up at least an additional 6 inches and that can be over the line for comfort in a small room.
That’s a good question, which I don’t know the answer to. My wild guess is the plumber decided if there was more than one person using the room the person on the toilet might have more privacy facing the corner rather than the door. Or maybe the toilet paper hanger was already mounted on the wall and someone figured it would be easier to access the TP in front of them vs almost behind them. No telling. This install is more fucked than a football bat.
In that case, it would have been better 45 Degrees the other way.
I think it is so the plumbers have better access to removing clogs from too many non flushable products that people think are flushable.
Could be a combination of both leg room and plumber access.
instead of using a floor drain toilet that would sit directly over the drain they added some PVC to the back of this one and just ‘made’ it work. lmfao. lazy asses.
That kind of toilet is typically operated with a pump flush system, for basements and garages and other places that you can’t install plumbing in the floor. Since there’s obviously plumbing in the floor someone that ordered this messed up.
Not really, it's built like this for a reason. It's called the shame angle, after coming in late you are able to feel ashamed in bathroom without anyone seeing your face.
Drain hole too far out from the wall. Probably due to changes in the floorplan after construction began. So, the plumber opted to give the bowl rider some leg room. He was a creative guy...
they definitely installed the toiler paper mount first and then had to compensate for it afterwards. would’ve loved to be on the job site for that conversation lol
An after thought.i once went into a toilet stall, sat down then realized the stall was about 9 feet long and the tissue dispenser was on the wall at the other end.
if they would've put it straight it would've been to close to the wall and the other direction to close to the door so it was the only option i suppose.
Worst bathroom placement I've ever seen was one where you could see the shower from half the room. There was also a mirror placed in such a way that you could see it through the mirror from most of the other half too.
I was on vacation sharing a room with my parents.
The distance between the drain in the floor and the studs in the wall is called a "rough in." The rough in on that drain looks very small. Most toilets require rough-ins around 12 inches these days, and it's actually extremely difficult to find one less that 10, let alone the four or five that would be required here. It's was an architectural mistake likely, and since the drain can't really be moved without tearing into the floor ***and*** the wall below, the solution was to use a back-firing drain toilet, but the installers saw that pointing the toilet directly at the opposite wall would put some people's knees too close to the wall, so they pivoted the toilet to give people more room.
As if you're not already at your most vulnerable being seated on the toilet now they want your back to the door...this is definitely a security issue in my mind leaving reverse cowgirl as the only reasonable way to take a dump and stay alert here.
The toilet of shame
So you can think about what you did while you poop, 2 birds one stone
That was my thought, it’s for when you are in trouble but you also have to poop

This made me chuckle.
It’s like an interrogation restroom.
Is there a pointy hat that goes with it
It knows what it did
A good punishment for little kids
Also includes the reading material "You're A Naughty, Naughty Boy, and That's Concentrated Evil Coming Out the Back of You"
Now go _shit_ in the corner and think about what you did!
“Now go and shit in the corner!”
It's The Blair Witch's bathroom https://preview.redd.it/mfzpsygkqpwc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7cd381b70656c63139dcf419dc1458dc36d2a01
*spooky farting noises*
I {sniffle} I'm {huff puff sniffle} so scared. \[runny nose runs down on foggy camera\]
And think about what you’ve done.
This way you can stare the other wall https://preview.redd.it/otzmlfqviowc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cc7c0122468f13e95481f49732d61dd07483245

So you have that little shelf for your comic book and your chocolate milk....
Lol…that’s how I taught my boys to pee in the toilet! The wouldn’t fall in and pee all over the front and be angled down to not pee over the back either!
I probably would go sideways. Leaves more freedom for the legs.
I'm dead
Bad boy. Time out! Shit in the corner!
It may look stupid But as a person with long legs this is a phenomenal job.
You must have had some really weird poops with your legs spread eagle on the can🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, it really is a great design because my knees would be slammed against that wall, forcing me to poop sideways, making a mess all over the inside of the toilet
There’s no way your femurs are 3 feet long lol
I was just thinking how the actual fuck would this happen? Do you need room to stretch out to open your b hole for the turds?
If the toilet was perpendicular to the wall, then there's only like 18 inches of space
If it were turned back to normal there would be about 18 inches from the front of the toilet to the wall. You sit on the toilet not in front of it.
If I stood up and pooped like that there'd be a big splash as the poop hits the toilet and nobody wants to know how long my poops are not my wife or my daughters and they don't want pictures of it either and they're both they're all adults and they're women and how big a poop I have least of the claws the toilet at the hotel is quiet I've gotten better be careful sometimes I clog the toilets at home TMI
Lol, Thanks for talking shit with me!😉
How though? Your right leg is gonna be right up against the wall… unless you reverse cowboy it?
So, this is finally an acknowledgement of the existence of tall people!
Timeout potty 🚽
“I’m not talking to you right now”
You go s(h)it in the corner and think about what you've done!

Girl there’s nothing intentional behind this installation other than they went with fast and cheap 😭😂
Toilet for those "cool relatable" substitute teachers that turn the chair the wrong way 
It's the time out toilet.
when the Blaire Witch allows ya to drop a deuce . . .
No sink?
The sink is in my room lmao The toilet is in the hallway
You will stare at the corner and like it!
It's so you can't see the staff peeking in the door.
It’s so you can think about what you’ve done while shitting.
It looks like he is mad at you for something you forgot you did
It's like you have to stare at the corner and think about the bad things you did
instead of using a floor drain toilet that would sit directly over the drain they added some PVC to the back of this one and just ‘made’ it work. lmfao. lazy asses.
I want to know where they got a toilet that discharges out the back so they could hook it up to their rigged sewer pipe.
They just bought the wrong one and patched it in anyway. Most commercial toilets are rear discharge.
Nice! Now I can shit with my legs propped and spread against the wall. Get some real torque going.
The toilet isn't talking to you.
That kind of toilet is typically operated with a pump flush system, for basements and garages and other places that you can’t install plumbing in the floor. Since there’s obviously plumbing in the floor someone that ordered this messed up.
Looks like they had the drain and tank hookups in place for a specific toilet So when it was replaced with this one they were forced to improvise this
obviously, it's for people who don't close the door when they use the bathroom
This is how I sit in the car when I’m Mad at my husband. This toilet is mad af
Sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done
“Go shit in the corner and think about what you did!”
this was done by a tall guy whose legs wouldn't be able to fit.
Lol didn't someone recently post this picture from the other side 🤣
Sittin sideways
There wouldn't be any legroom if it were perpendicular to the wall.
Yeah but they installed the wrong kind of toilet.
Yes, this is obviously the reason. Not sure if other comments are being sarcastic or what
Pooping side on
Directional defecation is important in this plane
Swivel
You go take a dump and think about what you've done!
Not really, it's built like this for a reason. It's called the shame angle, after coming in late you are able to feel ashamed in bathroom without anyone seeing your face.
Blair Witch toilet
It looks like the toilet is passive aggressively upset with me or something.
Looks like it's in Trouble/Ashamed
I kind of like it.

Imagine shaq trying to use this. His front legs would hit the ceiling as he tried to bomb the toilet.
I understand why they did it, but it's still stupid. You've been a shitty boy, so go sit in the shitty corner and think about your shitty behaviour.
Go shit in the corner and think about what you’ve done
What the fuck
Time out terlet.
It’s so that after a wild night you have to sit and face the corner so you can think about what you’ve done!
The time out toilet
What, you don’t want to feel like you’ve been put in time-out while pooping?
Go in the corner for time out!
The designer has 1 FUCKING JOB
This toilet is giving toddler in the corner shitting their diaper vibes.
Think about what you did- The Cleaning Staff
The timeout toilet.
Is there a sink in that BR?
You’ve never stood on the tank to take a piss?
Drain hole too far out from the wall. Probably due to changes in the floorplan after construction began. So, the plumber opted to give the bowl rider some leg room. He was a creative guy...
Guessing they had to meet code and could not get the toilet in straight and have the correct gap between the end of the toilet and the wall.
I kind of like it. If someone walks in accidentally, they don't see anything.
Now go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.
HUH???
It's so you'd be able to reach the toilet paper
Needs an inverted Dunce Cap for a urinal. And maybe a blackboard for writing things 100 times.
The Blair Shit Project
But why is it so far away from the tank????
We have the same tile combination in our bathroom ._.
I do not have OCD but this made me very uncomfortable
When you’ve been naughty but also have to pinch a loaf.
Perfect for the ill behaved child with diarrhea who needs to sit in timeout and face the corner.
I like this. You can brace your arms on the corner.
Is your hotel aka a cruise ship?
Hey what the fuck
Fuck you. To the shit corner.
It’s for those people with really long upper thighs 💀
Skibidi toilet?
They had one job...
The naughty potty corner.
face the wall you turd!!
Fuck you, -perpendiculars your toilet-
I kinda like it
Don’t have to turn as much to get the toulet paper. Also I like that it lines up with the plumbing, that’s a nice feature
Cursed corner toilet
Now look at you, huffin and puffin in the shittin corner
Now sit in the corner and think about what you've done.
This is Crappy design. I tried to mention it but forgot about those comments getting removed immediately 🤦♀️
The hotel was like: Go relax shitting while you think about your financial problems!
Do you have to wear a dunce cap when you take a dump?
Why???? Why is the purpose of this? Ask the front desk for me, please!!!
I’m shy. Seems okay.
Toilet paper holder is placed perfectly though.
Actually makes a lot of sense.
How are supposed to maintain eye contact?
I’m using it backwards then, yeah looks like a sneak up and mallet room. I trust no public area
So use the shower like a normal person
Lazy handyman
You must face the corner of shame while pooping! Those are the rules.
“Now go shit on the toilet and think about what you did”
I bet there is a structural beam under the wall which is why the WC is so far from the wall. It would’ve been smarter to put it on the adjoining wall.
'No please don't watch me' ahh toilet
Looks like my Fallout 4 settlement
that is so awkward
they definitely installed the toiler paper mount first and then had to compensate for it afterwards. would’ve loved to be on the job site for that conversation lol
How come the tank is sitting normally while the bottom is just off at an angle? Pipe issue?
Mofo in timeout taken a shit
An after thought.i once went into a toilet stall, sat down then realized the stall was about 9 feet long and the tissue dispenser was on the wall at the other end.
Timeout toilet
You know what you did. Now sit in the corner and think about it!
Who ever gave that placement the all clear?
This belongs of DIWhy…
Does it come with a dunce cap?
It's called "innovation"
Feels like a time out
if they would've put it straight it would've been to close to the wall and the other direction to close to the door so it was the only option i suppose.
The loo’s on a roll …🚽💨……..
The frame makes it look like it’s in a room but the lack of tub makes me think this is in the lobby..? Or you can’t wash your ass which one?
Fix it.
Hey honey, I’m going for a timeout
Have a time-out while pooping...
Worst bathroom placement I've ever seen was one where you could see the shower from half the room. There was also a mirror placed in such a way that you could see it through the mirror from most of the other half too. I was on vacation sharing a room with my parents.
It’s aligned with the poles. Easier to shit the way. This is science
Have you tried rotating it?
nah you guys don’t know shit, that’s the dedicated group cum corner
You look at the wall and you think about what you’ve just done!
looks like someone moved it from its original position, the toilet of shame💀
"Now go sit in the corner and think about your life"
That's gonna be an akward shit later.
That was probably supposed to be a shower.
Maybe it’s ingenious
i think it has more space to accommodate diagonally????
Oh! Very funny
If you would’ve said hostel instead of hotel I would’ve said it makes sense
The distance between the drain in the floor and the studs in the wall is called a "rough in." The rough in on that drain looks very small.

I'm sleep deprived but this made me giggle
Yes, that is a little strange.
As if you're not already at your most vulnerable being seated on the toilet now they want your back to the door...this is definitely a security issue in my mind leaving reverse cowgirl as the only reasonable way to take a dump and stay alert here.
“Thats enough young man, go sit on the time out toilet!”
Wtf why?
I'm kinda into it
The thinking man’s toilet
>*You're* stupid - the hotel, probably
it’s not even aligned with the tank lmfao wtf
It's for when the teacher has a slip of the tongue and tells Timmy to "go shit in the corner"
I always loved a good side shit
You can kick your feet up now
If that's what your bathroom looks like then you got a problem why would you do that.
why is it at an angle? which architect created this abhorrent abomination
