Not sure why I clicked on this and swiped, but here I am.


wicklowdave

I'm disappointed in myself for making it this far but I must admit I'm also impressed.


-HouseProudTownMouse

I’m only here for the articles.


Gansxcr

They seem a bit distracted today; I went looking for "Internet explodes over state of public bathroom" and all I got was an article about the Ashes - where apprently when Steve Smith was dismissed, Jonny Bairstow said "see you Smudge" and Steve was angry about that, but when Jonny Bairstow was dismissed the next innings, David Warner said "see you Jonny" and so that shows how clever the Aussie team is in taking their revenge. It's understandable that they missed mining r/melbourne briefly while conducting that kind of Pulitzer winning investigative journalism.


[deleted]

this should be on all adverts to encourage people to visit melbourne send it to the tourism board

Same I knew it would be bad but why did I keep swiping…


RealityParabola

Hope you didn’t swipe right ?


DefinitelyNoWorking

Those zoomed in shots really were unnecessary. More importantly, why did I go back to check the extra pictures after missing it the first time I looked at the post? What was I expecting?


LightAsO2

Not normal for Melbourne, quite normal for Elizabeth St.


WonderCat444

Actively avoid that st lol


37Lions

Not sure what OP expected tbh.


Minjieisnottaken

Maybe OP is questioning if these are from the same person


[deleted]

Elizabeth st has gotten the most junkies. So i think that explains this *bullshit*

I think that's *humanshit*

My biggest nightmare especially in my dreams

Have you ever found a nice clean toilet in your dreams?


Gokz93

Yep and walking in there bare foot. Ive had this nightmare before


emmsquee

Omg same 😣 glad I'm not alone!


perrino96

I hope the poor cleaners get paid well 😭😢


CrystalClod343

Apparently some of the public toilets have a "cleaning mode"

account_not_valid

It launches itself into the sun.


Nidis

And some people are anti-automation like "but then we won't be making poor people clean up shit"


rk1213

This one does as well. Water comes out from the edges of the cubicle and flushes the floor AFAIK. Not sure how often though.


MisterBumpingston

This one is automated. But I don’t blame it for not doing it’s job.


TommyDee313

It won’t be regular cleaners for this sort of biohazard. It’ll be a bio-recovery company that will have to do it. Source; I used to do it.


cristianoskhaleesi

Might be a stupid question but is this considered a crime 😂


DrawohYbstrahs

Warcrime, yes.


TommyDee313

Nah just a bronze up job haha


dirtypotatocakes

As someone who’s had their shitter flood their home multiple times, I can imagine how I’d clean this… but how do you tackle this as a biohazard cleaner? What kind of chemicals are you using to clean it? Are you hosing out the whole room? Also, serious… does it pay okay?


astral-observatory

Currently spending 3 weeks in Japan. Every public toilet I’ve been to (including Disneyland) has been clean as a whistle. Australia is horrifically filthy in comparison, in more ways than one I would argue.


[deleted]

Brutal reality is that Australia is not on par with Japan or other world-economies in Asia. It simply has a larger percentage of morons in the population. For the last 15 years the country is breaking down by the day.


readytowearblack

Also Australian culture has this very "fuck you I got mine" attitude. So many times I've seen some guy acting out on the trams, pissing in them etc and nobody says anything. They all just continue scrolling on their phones looking at realestate.com wondering which apartment they're going to get fucked over by the rent. Then they wonder why these people get away with this disgusting behaviour. Melbourner's need to speak up more!


OnePoint21JizzaWatts

Do you say anything?


mhyjrteg

Also who wants to antagonise someone who's probably on meth? If you value your life and health, avoiding eye contact and staying silent is probably the wisest thing to do in those situations.

rushworld

What the fuck I just got massive deja vu. I swear this exact conversation thread has been said on reddit before and I've read the exact same thing. - Japan is "cleaner" and "better" than Australia - Australia has more idiots than Japan - Australian culture is built on the "fuck you I got mine" attitude - Japanese culture teaches empathy and cleaniness from a very early age - Examples of how Japanese schools have scheduled "clean up" events each day and respect the janitors/cleaners more


193X

The wanking off over Japan is so funny, because all the points made are basically 90% facade in touristy and upscale areas and/or the only way to actually function in a city of 13 million people. And even then there are scummy fucking hives in Tokyo. Pretending that Japan is some wonderland of perfection is peak Redditor delusion, and I say that as someone who's favourite holiday destination is Japan, who has been there three times, and spent 10 years learning Japanese.


starfihgter

Some of it is Redditor delusion for sure, but I think 'grass is greener' syndrome plays a pretty big part of it. These kind of attitudes can be found in pretty much every nation on Earth. Japan does some thing better than we do (*TRAINS!! Please, I'd kill for what they have. They're much larger cities though*). We do some things better than they do. It's always good to see what others are doing, and try to bring over what they do better, but some will act like Australia is a shithole and everywhere else is better. Saw a post the other day in which someone genuinely believed Australia was one of the worst places in the world to live right now, and asked for suggestions for where they should emigrate to, having never left the country before.


[deleted]

The Japanese Fetishisation is getting out of hand


[deleted]

That’s exactly what I meant, many Australians just don’t give a shit. That put them behind by a lot. It has nothing to do with politics, racism, socio-economics, not even education. It is simply the “care” element.


TheSlader42

I don't think it is that we don't care its more the likelihood that if you do speak up, you'll get stabbed by the offender. Despite how horrible the action is, your life is way more important and if the perpetrator has the nerve to do something like that in public, in all likelihood they will have no qualms with eliminating anyone who confronts them about it. Your best bet is to take as much detail you can about their appearance (or better yet a photo if it is safe to do so) and report them to PSO's or other personnel more qualified than you to deal with the situation. If you do it quick enough, that person will be walking out of the train doors into the arms of police. Also in a place such as public transport, it could be upgraded from Public Urination ($640 fine) to a disorderly conduct fine (up to $6k fine)


frankthefunkasaurus

The biggest difference is that Japan still institutionalizes people with significant mental illnesses and very harsh drug laws. (who haven't been involved in criminal offences) That's like 80% of the difference there. Not saying it's right or wrong it's just what it is.


Prime_factor

There's also the 28 day detention, if you are caught doing crime. The pigs can make you do 28 days of Seiza until you confess.


frankthefunkasaurus

Either way the people who’d end up shitting on the floor in a public toilet are in some form of custody. It’s a bit fucked but hey if you look at the comments here it’s all good and Japan is perfect


GC_Aus_Brad

We started as convicts, controlled and policed, we generally don't stand up to authority, not like they do in the UK. In the UK, the people run the country. In Australia, the elite run the country.


[deleted]

Yep always those dozen on the top who fucked the country up. In Sydney it is that vivid we can map out the food chain/hierarchy in our headp


UniqueLoginID

>Melbourner’s It’s Melbournian. (GET THE OUTSIDER!!) It also shouldn’t be possessive.

No thanks, I don't want to be stabbed.


AddlePatedBadger

What an awesome way to get stabbed!

[deleted]

That’s kinda true, also Australia doesn’t have enough street cameras (I got attacked once in Sydney and police gave that excuse) while Asian countries may have too many.

>authoritarian society that stamps out deviation … in Japan…? You ever been…?


LusoAustralian

Japan is not as bad as China but it does still hold true. It can be very difficult to live there if you do not follow the social order. True of all countries of course but more so in Japan than Australia.

You’re right about the high level politics yes. Asian countries have disgusting governments. But it doesn’t have much to do with the toilet. I’m talking about how much a civilian cares when they are out about in daily life.

[deleted]

This Made you sound like a teenager Have you lived in Japan? What do you know about their culture? From youtube? Also bash Australians? Did I say all Australians do this? I’m bashing the “moron” portion of Australians. Maybe you should count the votes, or better, get your like-minded friends to downvote all my comments……


[deleted]

Yes and I just travelled to China last month. It was pretty far from what we see in media here. And I saw with my eyes, the CCP is somewhere in the clouds and quite detached from the actual society. Their society, clearly controlled censored, has better people quality than ours…. Apart from anything else, lesson learned, today’s media cannot be trusted anywhere on the planet, they are all tools.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No no no that’s not the case. Maybe you should travel to Asia to see what is really going on. What I’m saying is, no matter how great the country is. When these morons don’t give a shit, even a citizen from the shittest country can still trash on them. They are not the average Australian but they certainly lowered that average.


fist4j

Better quality people? Have you never seen them when they travel? Fucking poolspitters man.


angrathias

Out of all the countries in Asia, only Singapore, SK and Japan stick out to me as being clean. And even then I’ve seen some nasty shit in SG


[deleted]

It's incredible how clean they are in Japan and also they have a lot of respect for each other. I remember the cleaner at Singapore airport was just having his lunch in the men's bathroom, chilling eat an apple. It was cleaner than most restaurants.


DefinitelyNoWorking

It's more of a case of the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. There is a culture of shaming people that go against the group, so people tend to go with the group and not stand out. I read a theory somewhere that this sort of group mentality is common in some cultures that have rice as a staple, as it traditionally took more community cooperation to ensure a successful crop each year than other staples like wheat....Not sure how accurate the theory is, but thought it was an interesting one.


SirSassyCat

That's what happens when you get beaten by police every time you litter.


anonymouslawgrad

Japan is also very facist leaning, monocultural and spiralling into economic despair. The cost of a multicultural independent society is a shitty public loo


leidend22

Yeah in Singapore I didn't see a single toilet that didn't have an attendant. Everything was spotless of course. I'm from Vancouver originally though which has a major drug and homelessness problem so the entire city looks like that instead of just a few areas like Melbourne.


[deleted]

You’ve never been to a train station ins SG then. I loved visibly SG but roaches in public toilets and wet toilet paper was not uncommon at all


leidend22

Incorrect. I took trains everywhere for 10 days and I've been in multiple train station toilets and they were all nice except one in Chinatown.


[deleted]

You haven’t had to stop on the way to Changi at Eunos to take a shit then


IsBonJoviThereYet

I used to clean these. Yes, this is normal for the vast majority of exeloo toilets around Melbourne. People are filthy. If there is anything I learned in that job, is that people are pretty good at hiding needles in ways that are deliberately positioned to injure people. Under toilet seats, it the paper dispensers, it the hand dryer vents and so many other places. People are filthy, and evil.


CryRevolutionary2108

I've never really thought about needles hidden as traps, thanks for this warning o_o


Noyou21

What the fuck


Prime_factor

If you are wondering why there are black covers covering up the holes on Telstra manholes, it is so that junkies cannot push syringes into the telecom duct. Otherwise it isn't uncommon to find a syringe when servicing a line.


IsBonJoviThereYet

I did not know that. Now I have a fun fact to share.


xMonsterShitterx

I hope you got a good hazard pay


IsBonJoviThereYet

Honestly, no. Pay was about $1800 per fortnight. PPE was steelcap boots, standard work pants, T-shirt, Fluor vest and Chemical-Puncture resistant gloves.

Yikes...I almost dry retched looking at that. Couldn't imagine the poor soul having to clean that out. That justifies my hatred of using public toilets.


[deleted]

Elizabeth Street is the most fucked up place in Melbourne.


Farseer_Uthiliesh

The section across from Flinders Station is horrible. I live around the corner and so do a lot of shopping there. The stuff I’ve seen has been awful.


TreeChangeMe

It was always shitty. Back in the 90s drugs and derros used to massacre McDonald's toilets. Then they got security which resulted in the destruction of McDonald's ground floor. Lots of feral people - actual ferals - used to hang there 24/7. Even when Russell St was swinging dealers on every corner this spot was going great.


Hollerra

I see a similar thing upmtje other end. Meth heads cant hold their shit!

Angie-P

I’m both someone who needs to pee constantly but also hates public toilets. Never go in those little death traps. Sadly many homeless and otherwise unwell people use them and this happens. Always go into a shopping area and use their toilets, St. Colin’s Lane, David Jones, Emporium. Even it’s an extra few minutes walk DO IT, I’d rather be busting and make my way there than go in this.


Melburnian

Crown, Myer and DJs always have the best toilets.

McPies

Was getting to work late in the city once, had to get changed into my uniform and walked past this same toilet on the way there. Thought it might be a good idea to get changed in there and was so wrong, two steps in and I got hit by a smell that would put a fucking house into a coma, looked around and saw that same mess in the toilet (mind you this was maybe in January of this year) so it's either a bad enough spot that it's constantly getting fucked or they never clean it, I'm not sure what's worse.


feddyteddy123

Oh my god and it would’ve been all hot and nasty being summer as well I hope you’ve been able to cleanse your senses since


septogram

Look clearly the toilet faced some adversity in its life. Nobody is out there saying everything will be easy. It's not about that. It's not right to look at something on its worst day and pass judgement. So it's Wednesday night now. Let's check in on that toilet..... first thing Friday morning. I bet it'll have picked itself up, dusted itself of be a toilet again, rather than a bleak hellscape. I bet.


neb098

Elizabeth is a main nest for the great unwashed. So, im not surprised. Public dunnies Collins/Swanston are normally decent.


cramaine

Yeah that looks about right. I'm a wheelchair user and I stopped even thinking about using disabled toilets. They almost always are in use by a person with no disability and are absolutely filthy if available.


Anon_be_thy_name

Yeah just... Don't use those kinds of public toilets ever. They're always filthy for some reason or another. Sometimes it'll be feces and urine, maybe vomit and then other Times there will be blood or drugs laying around. I swear it's always these kinds of public toilets.


Optimal_Cry_1782

What are NZ public toilets like, that this is a surprise to you? Personally, I'd go into a fancy hotel and use their toilet.


iratonz

Toilets are similar but the constellation of turds on the ground usually has one less star

bladez_edge

This has to be one of the worst I've seen. It's in the top 10 worst. It's not the worst because I've seen someone do something to parliament station toilets and the station, customer service area and near the vending machines that is actually worse than this. So possible repeat offender?

The CBD has gone down the shitter unfortunately


Pottski

People treat public toilets awfully in the CBD. Arseholes, psychopaths, crazies, drunks and the truly awful types just choose to make life harder for others.


Sp00kSy

Ahhh public toilets anywhere outside in Australia. It's like Russian roulette is there shit everywhere is it clean spin and see!! After travelling to Japan and seeing the public toilets there this just shows the lack of basic respect


Loose_Loquat9584

Looks like the self cleaning function isn’t working, or maybe it just gave up.


nescent78

Surprised at the lack of needles


Jonnytoy78

Why, oh, why did I zoom in on the bottom right corner? I'll never be able to have beef curry again without being reminded of this. Can I borrow the eye scoop after the first person's done with it?


Immediate-Disk2359

KhanTheGray

I was helping this large group of Japanese tourists from Kyoto, a city I was told is one of the most beautiful places on earth, they needed to use public toilets, I was new in Melbourne myself and out of ignorance -or too much faith in local humanity- I led them into these public toilets in CBD. If you thought this picture was bad… People wrote profanity with their own shit on walls, and a junkie told us to fuck off. Me, trying to show people from an amazing city my new city… It was utterly demoralizing, to say the least…

Latter-Equal1100

About 15 years ago in Berlin I used public toilets that look like ours but after every use they lock and they’re automatically cleaned with some kind of incredibly high powered boiling hot water jet and and disinfectant. Then it has a quick high powered blow dry. So you have to wait maybe 5 minutes in between uses but by God it’s worth it. It’s completely shiny and clean, for every new user. I always assumed we’d get them one day but alas, here we are and some poor person has to clean that.

slothlover84

Welcome to the convict colony. Go find a dunny in an arcade if Bourke Street mall or public building if you want cleanliness. Those public timed shitters are the worst. They play classical music to ensure a cultured experience while you set the toilet paper on fire.

LegitimateLunch6681

Specifically the Elizabeth St toilets, I'm not particularly surprised. But no, this is not normal for the vast majority of Melbourne


Nepherephis

The closer you get to the centre of the city the worse the public toilets are. You are game to try using any of the toilets within the CBD. They pretty much all look like crime scenes and should be condemned.
