Would you return to use this bathroom if needed
in the future? I don't think there are enough
characters allowed for what I want to write.

Don't say I didn't warn you! (Exhibit A in next reply)

I wish I could unsee this - yet you did give fair warning. Was this a pic you took on a shop?

Whoa that picture is now burned into my brain - thanks. The worst bathroom I ever was in had vomit all over the floor - so gross - but your pik beats that one.

I've seen squat toilets in China that looked better than that:

OMG! I almost lost my lunch! I sure hope this wasn't at a food establishment. Of course, anywhere but a junk heap is unacceptable.

I would go outside and use the bushes before I used that toilet.

I can describe that in 6 characters: WTF???

Whoa. Just...dang.

You're in Florida, yes?

Um, are those roaches or did a ball point pen explode? Please tell me a ball point pen exploded.

Haha man ANYTHING looks better than that toilet techman posted. Good grief. We usually don't gave roaches like that in Ontario but I saw one at Union Stn in Toronto. They have been digging up that place since who knows when and the roaches hang out at McDonalds now. Gross.....

THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A WARNING.

I would pee in public in the middle of a freeway before sitting on or even squatting over that.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

That was spectacular

I think I am most disgusted by the fact that this is probably someone's home.

I am from South Florida, and believe it or not, I have seen worse. MUCH, MUCH worse, in homes and in businesses. Palmetto bugs are bad because they are huge, scary and will hiss at you. Oh, and they fly. They will get tangled in your hair and send you screaming into the street! However, German Cockroaches are far worse. They are much smaller and the NASTIEST things when it comes to spreading disease. Once you got 'em, there's no getting rid of them. I've seen walls that looked like they were alive, there were so many roaches on them. Dirty pots on the stove filled with them. And children living in the house.

'nuf said! I am SO SO SO glad I live in rural NC!!!

^ Good Lord.

These are people you know? With dirty pots on the stove filled with roaches?

*off to wash dirty pot*

A pest control guy told me that German roaches do not need a mate to reproduce. If just one hitches a ride on your clothing or in your shopping bag and into your home, you can be looking at an infestation in the not-so-distant future. :shudder:

I think my neighbor might be a German cockroach.

The pest control guy was wrong. He may have thought that because some roaches lay the egg sac outside the body and others carry it inside so a lone, pregnant female can reproduce without a male around. But it still requires sperm.

But I would have been perfectly happy to never have run onto this tidbit:

A German cockroach and her young can produce 300,000 more roaches in one year. An American cockroach and her young can produce a comparatively small 800 new roaches per year.

And that is the last thing I ever want to know about roaches. I'm lucky we don't have any where I live.

BBird, I knew them only from a distance really. The woman who lived there was a whack job who claimed to be Wiccan, but not like andy Wiccan I ever knew. She was a horse "rescuer," who had no business even looking at a horse, let alone owning or rescuing one. She had about 30. :-( I went into her house to use the bathroom . . . she didn't believe in killing anything, including insects. <shudder>

"RAID!!!"

OMG... my own research turned up this:

Q: Can female cockroaches reproduce without males?

A: Cockroaches, like many other animals (e.g., chicken), can oviposit unfertilized eggs, and, in most cockroaches, these eggs are inviable. In some cockroaches, however, unfertilized eggs can develop into females only, and parthenogenetic reproduction can be sustained for several generations. Some cockroaches are facultatively parthenogenetic (e.g., American cockroach), and one, Pycnoscelus surinamensis, appears to be an obligatory parthenogen; males are not known in this species.

I'm gonna stop researching now. I don't want to know any more.. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.

Hmm. The link I found didn't say that.

Whatever they are, however they reproduce, they're disgusting and I'm glad I don't have them here. I am not afraid of rattlesnakes, wild animals, bulls, or charging horses, but roaches can send me screaming from the room.

They are special pets in some parts of Texas. The really huge ones can fly.

Easy answer to the question of whether you'd return and use the restroom:

"Not in a million, trillion, bazillion years."

Or, "I'd rather wet my pants."

I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

First of all, the toilet pic is bad but the explosive diarrhea all over the toilet seat, FRESH BIG D, was worse because of the odor. So I had the double whammy of smell-a-vision. I was dry heaving as I took the photos before running out as quickly as possible. It still have the photos but I will spare you guys.

Second, the Palmetto Bug is the State Bird of Florida. Yes, they do fly. Watch your small pets and children!

Third, do we really care about the reproductive system of cockroaches? Bring back the cute kitties. >^..^<

We have those giant outside cockroaches here too. When I first moved to Texas from Quebec, I almost threw up when I saw my first one.

In the buff, ready to take a shower and this monster bug on the wall, wiggling it's antennas at me.

Are you serious?
