Obviously there a dozen jokes to be made, but beyond the humor this is such a strange and gross idea.

I mean, could they really not afford a cheap wall?

It looks like a wall might have been there but removed.Perhaps it is for security reasons.Want gross bathrooms try those on the subway. OK for a quick #1 but that is it.They make bathrooms at gas stations look like those at the Ritz. The employee bathrooms are spotless as expected.

I'll let you know what they have for the ladies...

I'm picturing a mean matron who makes sure you don't engage in any monkey business behind closed doors.

And why the trash can between the toilets? I know that in women's public bathroom stalls they have trash cans so they can dispose of tampons but I never seen one in a men's room stall unless you aren't supposed to flush the toilet paper but rather throw it in the trash. GROSS is too polite a word for this.

I went to Moscow over 20 years ago (just after the fall of the USSR) and stayed at the Intourist Hotel in Moscow. As soon as you stepped off the elevator there was a mean looking matron at a desk on every floor. The toilet paper was brown and like sandpaper. I actually wrote a letter to my sister on the toilet paper and mailed it back to the USA.

I suppose this is better than a hole in the ground that you have to squat over.

Yes, I've seen those in Europe, too.

That garbage can seems to have skootched a little bit over, closer to the toilet on the left than the one of the right.

What's up with that?

That's the side with the toilet paper dispenser!

The other side is the non-paper side...

(Who the hell knows - this is just bizarre!)

OK, Addy, you have your first reporting assignment. When you get to Sochi, take pictures of both the men's and women's rooms. Bonus points for descriptive captions.

I'm up to the task!

But, I believe the fine denizens of the BWW OT board will be the best ones for the descriptive captions!
I'll post. You all describe.

I saw someone refer to this as the Larry Craig Suite at Sochi Olympics.

I hope they hand these out as you walk in.

Maybe the 2nd fixture was supposed to be a bidet? I've had it happen on job sites right here in NYC.

Blame the plumber--works every time.
