Houston's glass public toilet

Updated, see below.

A while back, Jake posted about a public restroom in Switzerland that was made out of one-way glass. Well, apparently there's one in Houston now; my friend Kerry sent me the pictures in email this morning.

Here's what it looks like from the outside:

And, here's the view from the inside:

Man, that's just wrong. I just couldn't use it, no way.

Update: These are the photos from the original Switzerland toilet; looks like they're being recycled again. So, take this all with a grain of salt. What's funny is that I first heard of this (and then got the email) from people at work, and it's making the rounds on other sites as well (a quick search on Google pulls them up), so there may be an actual Houston toilet; who knows.

No way I could use that. I've done focus groups with one-way glass, and if you look at just the right angle, you can ALWAYS see through it. I just couldn't trust it enough.

You need to be a bit of a exhibitionist (perhaps closet) to use one of those to begin with. Frankly, it may bring out some latent exhibitionist in people who are otherwise too scared to bare it in public but who might get a thrill of doing so when people look like they can see you but actually can't.

Man.. I'd use a GLASS public toilet. I like to show off what I got.

that gives new meaning to "I'll be in my office".

People who live in glass shouldn't throw stones.

It kinda looks like a modern day Dr. Who travel machine. At least the good Dr. wouldn't have to make pitstops. :)-

This would be a great place to have sex. That is if your in to the thrill of sex in public places.


Shell writes:

Well if you wanted the thrill without people seeing you then that's the way to go but I wouldn't advise anyone to let their kids use it it might give them the wrong idea


Evelyn writes:

I agree with Heidi Pacheco.

Sex here would be a fantasy...here in cali but in houston your fantasy can become a reality.....

The French wouldn't care which way the glass was fitted.

And yes, I'm now having the fantasy to have sex in one of those! But I'd never turn the glass arround!
