I was once at a mall in China, it was about 4 stories and initially, I didn't need to pee that badly, it wasn't high on the priority list, I probably had a 40-minute window before it would become an issue. As the time window closed I started looking for a bathroom, every sign I saw led me to some kind of dead end, I would go down a staircase and be met with a locked door or a supply cupboard.

I was becoming more agitated and the more I thought about it the more I needed to pee. I had come down from the 3rd floor to the bottom floor, searching every level, there were toilet signs all over the place with arrows pointing in vague directions, and at this point, I was starting to panic. Is this how people wet themselves in public? Was I going to have to go down a hallway and go in a stairwell? At this point, I was showing people a picture of a toilet sign on my phone and finally was directed back up to the top floor of the mall.

I ran up all the escalators and eventually found the toilet, the feeling of relief, both physical and emotional was enormous.

Anyway here are 20 pictures of weird and wonderful toilets
