I hate the first floor bathroom at the college which is open to the public. On more than one occasion I've had to leave after seeing someone's 'contribution' on the floor. WTF guys?
 
Know what's worse? Going into the men's room at a fast food restaurant and finding out the last guy didn't flush. Or overflowed the stupid toilet. And even if they didn't there's usually a pretty good chance that there won't be any toilet paper in the wall dispenser.

Going into a Dunkin Donuts or Waffle House men's room after midnight is like Indiana Jones venturing into a booby-trapped temple to retrieve a golden idol. Everywhere you step is something that will make you regret ever walking in there.

You're a braver man than I. I'd rather go into an old gas station bathroom with the key chained to a cinder-block and the bathroom around back in the corner of the car-wash.

A couple of friends and I have a semi-regular habit of grabbing some vanilla creme donuts at DD when we're driving around late at night. DD bathrooms at that time of night can be a challenge, but for sketchiness nothing beats a Waffle House men's room at 2 in the morning. Place looks and smells as if someone slaughtered a cow inside a paper mill.

And I'm pretty sure I found Jimmy Hoffa and Judge Crater in one.
 
I really hope someone steers this thread back on topic soon. The current path is unappetizing to say the least.

I an provide assistance with that....

A few weeks ago, Adam and Jamie from the Mythbusters came to a town near me to do a live stage show where they did mini-experiments, show videos, interact with the fans, and that sort of thing. Here's myself and my friend, Casey, before the show:

Adam said, "You know you're from the Mythbusters when you roll out an exploded water heater and the heater gets an ovation!"

And here's Jamie hoisting Adam above the stage to show the friction strength of two interlaced phonebooks (the giant mass above Adam's head is a pair of interlaced phonebooks with clamps on the spines)

That's probably the best thing that's happened in a Waffle House bathroom. Or in a Waffle House period, whenever I simply drive by and look at one it's like looking through a vortex into a 1984 ghetto.

:lol:

Yep. You've gotta hand it to Waffle House.

They found a legal way to combine a crappy restaurant with a violent crime scene and make money off the whole endeavor. Geniuses those folks.
 
Seriously, and I'm not even talking about the clientèle there it's just the overall look of the place. McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, freaking Taco Bell have all changed and modified their look and the design of the restaurants multiple times over just the last 10 years or so. Waffle House? Still there, all crappy faux-wood and cheesy yellow lettering and decor like it still thinks its 1982. The pressboard booths, the sticky, greasy, placemat menus and the cassette-based jukebox that's the only venue through which you still regularly hear Huey Lewis and Rick Astley.

Oh, I know. I agree! ;)

The place is depressing. It's like a time machine to an era when people jerked off to songs by A Flock of Seagulls. Jim Gaffigan's standup routine about the place is damn close to the truth. "I've seen a gun five times in my life. Three of those were at a Waffle House."
 
I freaking LOVE the food at Waffle House. I'd eat there every day if we had one in my state. Sure, it's not fancy in food or atmosphere, but I prefer it that way.

As for the bathrooms? The only Waffle House I ever ate at (in Missouri), the bathroom was clean and not spoiled. :shrug:

"If you have a Waffle House credit card...you might be a redneck." :D
 
Back on topic...:p

I finally finished my mom's Christmas present...a little over a month late. Oops. She loved it, though:

Oh, some(I stress...some)of the menu is delicious. It's the buildings themselves that are the issue. Like Trekker said, they're all stuck in an aesthetic time warp and the ones in my area have messy bathrooms, smell kind of weird and always have a lot of creepy people eating in them. 2 A.M. at my local Waffle House is like being asked to view the lineup at the city jail. Only with waffles being served as you I.D. the perp.

Agreed.
