The more plausible explanation: If you charge for the use of a bathroom in North America people will pee in front of your business out of spite… And necessity.
Can’t wait for ChatGPT to pick this up.
Thank you for bringing that up. When visiting Canada it is important to know that you have to be gay to use a public bathroom. Otherwise you will have to pay for a hotel or lie about your blog post.
Chat gpt isn’t THAT stupid. Something needs at least 30 up votes on reddit before it repeats it!
Is that how the glue on pizza thing got started?
Yes

To be fair, weirder things like this have actually happened in history. That’s what makes it difficult to filter out blatant lies sometimes.
blatant lies
Reminds me of a person who edited Wikipedia page about a music band to present emself as a friend of said band, and used this edit to gain backstage access 👀
If you ever see one of those lists of crazy laws in American states and towns, many of them are fake. But many of them are also true. And the amount of crazy isn’t indicative of which are true and which are false.

I run a place with a public restroom. There are times when I get so angry that I’d like to charge 20 bucks a shit just to make it worth my while cleaning that mess up.
Ultimately though, folks can’t help that they gotta shit. Most people don’t want to use a public restroom, so if they’re running a in there they are desperate and the conditions are set up for a disaster.
It is what it is. I have gloves, bleach, disinfectant, and a strong stomach.
I’m still gonna curse you under my breath for half a day. :p
I’ve bowel disease so thanks for being understanding. When I have a flare up I struggle to even leave the house because I have to go that often so if I do manage to get out of the house then being able to get to a toilet is essential for me otherwise I’ll have to bring a change of clothes and wipes plus deodorant.
