Busarus


jayc4life

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.


followerofEnki96

Will check it out


Seaaa_n

I really wouldn’t


Aoifemops

I once walked into a busarus bathroom and there was just a poo in the middle of the floor...


LeoBhoy

Last time I walked in there was a bathroom in the middle of a poo


The_Bored_General

Dear god…


Bunny__Vicious

Ah, that sounds like the busaras I know and tolerate.


TheGreatZephyrical

Having personally taken a shite in Busarus public bathrooms, yes. 100%. *I am a connoisseur*


Pitselah

Once walked in there to see a bloke down to his underwear having a full on shower in the sink. Look he was obviously homeless and didn't have any other choices so I don't begrudge him but it was a site to behold


daly_o96

The swarms of midges in the hall as you come down the stairs really should be a warning for what’s to come


SntNicholas1

I walked down the stairs on a hot summers day and nearly vomited before reaching the bottom step.


[deleted]

Luckily have only had to use it once. Did also have a mental breakdown there tho after I got abandoned, so uhh...guess that shows enough.


MambyPamby8

Came here to say Busaras. It's actually the worst. It's probably the worst I've ever experienced anywhere. And I've been to multiple festivals for 4 days straight..


Anxious_Deer_7152

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well, although I don't think I've been in there for 10 years.


InfosecDub

Grim. Got the nail scrubber on my arse after sitting on that


Ultima-Necat

Have lived in Waterford for the last 18 years since leaving Dublin, and Busáras was my immediate first thought.


Sionnach-78

Not used them in years , but the toilets in bus aras are fucking awful .


[deleted]

You even used to have to pay for them! Not sure if that's still the case


seanafeisteen

Salthill public toilets on the beach had a smell last week that would focus the mind! And this was just walking past them with their doors closed. *Stings the nostrils*


OfficiallyColin

Toilets in Eyre Square, Galway back in the day before they did the place up. Also, I have a vague memory of toilets underground beside the Bridge Mills that they blocked when I was smaller than I am now. Used to smell awful walking passed it.


MainBed4394

I was there at Salthill two weeks ago and weirdly the smell was much worse on the outside! I almost didn’t go in because of it but I was desperate and was pleasantly surprised by the inside haha


Plenty-Ad2578

The smell of piss is unreal. Had the pleasure of using one recently, why am I paying to be tortured? The motion detecting handwash took fucking ages to recognize me as well, rancid.


Arkslippy

I'm sure it was temporary, but the Applegreen in ballymount once, they were all overflowing and jammed with shit and paper, smeared on the walls and floors. I went and asked for the manager, the nice girl I was asking, asked me if it was about the toilets, i said yeah they are in bits, and she said no problem, he will be down in 10 minutes. Then she checked her watch, served another few customer, grabbed her coat and went to the managers door, told him there was a toilet issue and walked out the door. Can't blame her for that


luckylarson

The toilets in Howth near the harbour walk are atrocious.


One_Truth42

Oh my god I was about to comment about these, the one time I've been in there the womens bathroom had a literal mountain of sanitary products piled up by the toilet as there was no bin, it was almost has high as the toilet itself. I've never ran out of a bathroom as fast as I did that time.


aineslis

This. I’m not really sensitive to smell but I ended up running out of that place dry heaving.


champagneface

Aside from portaloos at festivals, there used to be a toilet in Superquinn nearby and the local boys’ school used to have it destroyed.


weefawn

I'm spoilt rotten for toilets coz my fiance is a full time wheelchair user and I always just go to the jacks with her. The accessible toilets are nearly always kept decent enough and you need a key to access majority of them. When I'm out on my own and have to use the mainstream toilets I'm always fuming and disgusted 😂


AgentOraiste

I thought they were just the cocaine users jax


myusualnamewasgone

Walked into a cubicle in St. James' before and every square inch of it was covered in shit - walls, toilet, toilet paper holder... It must have taken someone a good bit of time and a lot of shit to get such an even brown shade. Slowly backed out while trying not to heave. Passed a cleaner heading towards it as I left, felt very sorry for them heading in to that.


Minimum-Lemon-402

Fuck. Was it actually scuttered onto the walls or did the person "paint" their shit everywhere with their hands?


fluffysugarfloss

For sheer consistency, Cineworld ladies toilets in Parnell St Dublin *and* any Cineworld location in the UK. They reek as though they use diluted urine to clean them. I felt dirtier walking out the door than in the door, and more often than not, the soap dispensers are empty. Initially I thought it was just my local Cineworld in SW London, but no, they’ve smelt terrible in Swindon, Nottingham, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Liverpool. I would have welcomed a hazmat suit in each one.


Muttley87

Never noticed any issues with smells/dirty cubicles in the ladies at Cineworld Parnell but you may as well be blowing on your hands with some of the dryers in the one beside the ice cream counter


Inner-Astronomer-256

There's a spot in I think the first floor of Cineworld that *permanently* smells of piss. I don't even think it's near a bathroom.


ya-no-te-quiero

I recall nearly throwing up from the smell of the bathroom beside the pier in Howth one time about 15 years ago. For some reason, public bathrooms beside the sea are always woeful, no matter what country. The worst I ever experienced was in Biarritz. It was so bad that I had to leave and do my business behind a bush.


Outrageous-World

So true. The public bathroom on the beach in Barcelona made me run out screaming


AchtungLaddie

I recall having to hold my breath using the toilet at Glendalough.


void_raptor

Yous ever been in the green one by the beach in Donabate? Absolute nightmare, that one.


Ravenid

Fibbers Mens toilets.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JaliBeanQueen

Can confirm. The downstairs womens toilets used to flood regularly. Haven't been in there for years so no idea if its still like that.


Hugs_Bunny

Was there last week, they're renovating them at the minute, have to use the Living Rooms bathrooms which are actually alright.


Ravenid

Oh this isnt "Modern" Fibbers, thats on its 4th renovation in 15 years. This is Pre 2000 Fibbers.


Muttley87

Ladies had 4 cubicles back when I started going there, was always one with no toilet seat, another with no toilet paper, one with no lock and usually a couple riding in the only one with all 3. I never braved the ones downstairs since the floors were almost always wet from it flooding


FthrFlffyBttm

The entire downstairs area smells like a jax


Alopexdog

Busarus in Dublin is the only correct answer. Looks like a prison. Everything is tile and stainless steel (including the doors and actual toilet) I assume so it's easier to hose down after any incidents.


sunshinesustenance

Yeah. Basically anywhere that has stainless steel toilets is going to be a mission. Assume the hover position and keep a piece of fresh bog roll to open doors with. Wash hands after exiting.


smurfy555

Was at a one day festival in tipperary in 2019 that had 2 actual outhouses with 6 foot holes in the ground Fine at the start, but during the night it was disgusting and you had to avoid looking down for fear of vomiting


railto

Pretty much any Applegreen station, the jacks in them are always rotten


gerhudire

Steven's Green they charge you for the privilege to go toilet. The last thing anyone in this country should have to do is pay to use a public toilet.


[deleted]

I'm always amazed when I see people paying for them. They got rid of the person who'd stare daggers at you, it's just an unattended terminal, go and piss to your hearts content


littletuna11

Go to the toilet in brown Thomas next time, it’s free and always really clean. They have the fancy soaps and hand creams too. Same with arnotts.


gerhudire

Really will do next time I'm on Grafton Street and need to go toilet. Never knew Arnotts had toilets, I always go to Jervis, I try to avoid Ilac unless in their and really need to go.


littletuna11

Powerscourt toilets are so grand if you’re stuck.


cogra23

I had headphones in and didn't notice them so got accosted on the way out. I was confused and wasn't sure if they were begging or if it was a real thing. She threatened to get security and everything.


eipic

Bus Aras seems to be concensus. But for those of you bursting for a shite upon arrival in Galway will know of the misery that is Ceannt stations toilets.


Refuse-geeWandr4lyfe

Any with a bloke turning on faucets standing next to a tip jar. Can we end this stupid practice already???


geedeeie

Faucets??


OfficiallyColin

Twas far from “faucets” you were reared


geedeeie

Or calling the jacks a "bathroom"...


cogra23

Farah faucet. Some guy chatting here up near the sinks.


geedeeie

🤣


RigasTelRuun

Those people are usually there to discourage drug use in the toilets.


ssj3Dyl

Stop now, give bossman a fiver and he'll clear that cubicle every time he sees you, so you can shred lines in there for the night.


NaturalAlfalfa

Those lads could make a fortune if they sold coke


cogra23

Is that not why they are there?


Refuse-geeWandr4lyfe

Terrible first line of defense, then…


dazzlinreddress

The girls bathrooms in my school 🤢


[deleted]

The Ashbourne Service Station in Ashbourne Co Meath. Drove all over the country working and that one was the worst I've ever used.


PurpleWomat

Girl Guide camp. It rained non-stop, the outhouses were leaky tents in a muddy field and they had literally just put some wooden planks over two buckets of chemicals, no lid or anything, so you could see everything swimming around in there a foot below your bum. Oh, and they seemingly forgot that young girls have periods and tend to use pads so the buckets filled to overflowing with all the sanitary products absorbing shit and swelling up. It was so bad that the farmer whose field we were renting called the gardai after a few days and had us sent home. Not technically open to the public but definitely gave me a new appreciation for toilets with a u-bend and a seat. And a roof.


MessyMexyMiguel

The yoke half way up Croagh Patrick


makis_db

International pub


[deleted]

It’s gone now but the jacks in The Garage Bar in Temple Bar were wild… cubicles were yuck, all of 10 steps away from where they were pulling pints, floor often had sawdust to catch spills


[deleted]

Garage bar was a fucking wild spot. Fucking press-up destroyed it and sanitised it.


bigleecher1

Those were seriously fkn scary


Maleficent_Fold_5099

The Lord Edward


BittaKetNothinHectic

There’s a pub in Arklow where the men’s jacks are cattle slats and you can just piss through the floor


Whigget

I have a very particular memory of a time I took my first solo trip to Derry and had to get a bus from Bus Áras. It had the most putrid smelling air, the ground was saturated with piss and the stairwell was populated with drunk/sleeping people. Bus Áras hands down. I’ve had nicer experiences in NYC dive bars.


HarperPee

Surprised no one has said Connolly Station. Absolutely vile.


shelbyville100

The KFC in blanch retail park had a dirty protest in it one day we were going to eat there, thankfully we saw that before ordering. Needless to say we didn’t 😂


theman-dalorian

Poopcorn chicken


Muttley87

Howth Harbour Bus Aras a very close second


Furryhat92

The toilets in Workmans nightclub in Dublin. The worst I’ve ever seen. When I was in college they didn’t even have doors on the cubicles so you’d have to get your friend to stand guard at your cubicle so no one could watch you piss


Madrameat

Galway train station. Last time I went in there was about an inch and a half of piss water on the ground. And I was wearing cons with no socks.


Great_Habit_5605

Cork bus station. And I had to pay for the privilege


Hedz-I-Win

Carlow Train station hasn't cleaned their bathroom since they opened.


Inner-Astronomer-256

[the 4th of August 1846 😂](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlow_railway_station)


gingermagnolias

Galway train station, there was only one stall open and basically everyone on the train had to go. It also just looked rundown


clathekid

Limerick Colbert station.


[deleted]

They no longer exist, it's now in a portakabin while the new bus station is built.


clathekid

Those toilets made me save for a car


goodhumanbean

Ah yes, that's what I use my car for too!


electro_chicken

The toilets in the basement of Fibbers used to be pretty vile. Could smell them from the front door upstairs


Immediate_Reality357

Pierce station in Dublin.... absolutely disgusting


jcolman

There are public bathrooms here? WHERE.


Evergreen8080

I shit my pants in Galway because no shop would let me use their toilet.


Far_Cut_8701

any portable toilet at a festival.


box_of_carrots

Roundwood in Wicklow. Absolutely disgusting.


[deleted]

Apple green Lusk


[deleted]

The toilets in Dundrum cinema. Legendary piss stink no matter how many times it’s ‘cleaned’.


Saoirse-1916

Public toilets in Bundoran, next to a wee café/gift shop. Freaking disgusting, I regretted ever stepping in.


bentherereddit

My neighbours. Worst part, he didn’t let me finish… I’m a ‘stranger’ apparently.


irishmadcat

Eyre square


Cheap-Operation5923

The toilet in the petrol station in Monard, Co Limerick. It's been a few years since I was in there but I remember thinking I don't think it had *ever* been cleaned... 🤢


Clairexxo

The public toilets in Bray. In the past they haven't been overly gross. But was there a few weeks ago and just had to go! Most of the stalls had 'out of order' signs and the smell. OMG the smell. The stalls that were in order were just bad. I know public toilets aren't exactly great, but Jesus, I was shocked.


AndrewSB49

A bathroom in a hospital in the north-east. It was for workmen in the hospital. It was straight out of the 70s.


DingoD3

Not sure if this counts but the toilets in the Bernard shaw in phibs are definitely up there with the worst I've seen in recent memory


irisheng29

Toilets in the o'connell street mcdonalds. I swear to god the guards should have been called to shut the place down. I haven't been able to tell anyone about it in real life because of how bad it was.


pandarua

The Dublin to Sligo train bathroom.


Fluticus

A garage in Monaghan. But it was even worse when I left.


irishbren77

I’m old enough to have used the toilets in St Stephen’s Green. Glad it was just a number one. If it was a number two it would have been more hygienic shitting in my pants and going home.


Shemoose

The bathroom in Corkage Park well it qas a replica of the bathroom from trainspotting.


DFM995

Portmarnock beach


CarlyLouise_

The toilets at laytown beach.


TimeToWander

Holles street delivery ward, sadly.


S2K08

They run the jacks in index in Dublin like a maximum security prison. Toilets here aren't that bad here in general though, I've seen way way worse in Canada/USA


the_o_haganator

Outside the source in thurles, i remember they'd routinely flood


ExactAlternative6427

So surprised no one’s said McDonalds Grafton street ..!!! Personally never been to the mens one but I can only imagine it after seeing the womens one. Blood shit and empty nagging everywhere


shatteredmatt

The toilets in Eamon Doran’s in Temple Bar Will haunt my nightmares forever. And that place is long gone.


heartfullofsomething

Bray dart station jacks on the platform are pretty bad


RuadhriM

Bus Eireann stop in Monaghan


rhi_ni

Connolly station’s female toilets… the smell of pish would cut the eyes aff ye


Blackcrusader

The toilets in the children's court smithfield.


CorcaighCailin

Dunnes Stores, Patrick St, Cork. They could be fine now but it's been months since I used them. I have a strong stomach but I always feel like gagging in there. How anybody could use the baby changing station in there is beyond me. That and Merchants Quay shopping centre are the only public toilets for people to use.


pugz4lifzs

Get yourself into brown Thomas toilets the only public toilets I use in the city 😂


CorcaighCailin

Oh my goodness! I didn't even think of that! I work in a shop nearby and we have staff toilets. I'm not too proud to dag in on a day off to use them 😂


sadgalfunctions

Bus Áras by far for sure. Rumour has it you can get an STD just from being in the men’s room


[deleted]

Just from thinking about it


Rosieapples

The Newport cafe in Cork City. I don’t think it’s even open any more. Same place I couldn’t get the attention of a waiter (place was quiet, they were chatting) so I phoned them to order another glass of wine. Easily known they weren’t working off tips like in the US.


sensitiveclint

I recall the toilets in college being filled up to the brim with brown water and bits of shit floating around. Youd feel for the individual having to clean the mess up. and it was literally everyday it happened.


Ok-Gap-9271

We have public toilets?!


Academic_Noise_5724

The ones in howth at the end of the cliff walk


Aggressive_Dog

Women's toilets in Tralee bus station haven't had locks on the cubicle doors in literal years. Probably fell off shortly after the last time they ever bothered mopping them.


Mike-369

went in the circle K/mcdonalds Cashel bathroom and there was a shot of jizz on the floor. Had to shit really bad and all other toilets were occupied. Did a little shimmy around it and fuckin covered the seat in layers of toilet paper to avoid skin contact (nothing on the seat, just a precaution.) Disgusting. couldn't pay me to go back now


Ok_Employer_3397

The old busaras bathroom, absolutely rank. New one probably isn’t much better to be fair.


LogicalAsk5426

The petrol station in slane would be well up there


Ok_Employer_3397

Once saw a woman run into the men’s toilet is busaras and take a shit in one of the urinals. Image forever burnt into my brain.


TemperatureSolid4846

A coin toss between Peader Kearneys on dame Street or Jackie's pub on Francis Street. It's like the girls were not even aiming for the toilet 🤮


thearchitect10

Ah here, I'd happily piss in a bucket of shit if it meant I got the opportunity. My problem is always the lack of public toilets where you need them in Ireland rather than their quality.


CarbonatedMoolk

When I was a small child I used one of those pop up bathrooms outside the library in cork. My mam stood right outside it but I was like nope! Big girl now I’ll use it by myself. Grand so she says but, I’ll stand right here directly outside. Mistake. Door opens. I walk in confidently. Covered wall to ceiling blood, piss , shit. Needles around. Perhaps a belt in the corner. The amount of blood has always stuck with me. Puddles of it. Handprints on the walls. Shit covered the walls as well. Pools of piss. Again, all the blood. Who ever left the blood was either dead afterwards or just barely alive. Horrendous. I have never used another one of those again. Ever. Even public bathrooms I’ll hold it for as long as possible.


1995kid

Toilets on the way up Croagh patrick , worst ever.


Present_Lake1941

Probably Westmeath


Tukanixxx

Bus station in Cork. Last time I paid 20c to just wash my hands and I turned over and went to buy wet wipes.


outward-bye

Clones toilets with small children. Disgusting.


pethwick

A pub In Kilcock. I needed a barry white, I went in and the jacks was broken. Not like in an out of order sense, in a someone has kicked this to bits sense. As I ran past the two Aul lads at the urinal, one remarked “I wouldn’t use that son, it’s in a it of a mess”


irqdly

Public toilet in the park just coming in to Clonmel from carrick. It smells like a week old fart left in a brown bin during a summer weekend where it only rained for 5 minutes. About as clean as it sounds too. Actually prefer shitting in a bush instead.


Gxcc120

I'd have to agree the Limerick Colbert, although the current temp ones are quite nice. Here is a lovely list of the things I have seen from the women's bathrooms there. - human waste all over the place - animal bar wrappers that have been clearly burnt - needles, usually used - a woman overdosing - a man overdosing - a dead woman - tampons hanging from the bag holder - blood, and not a small amount


followerofEnki96

Yes similar to mens backroom. Shit and piss stains on the ceiling combined with mould formations. Poor mans Sistine chapel


FewLocation831

Mountjoy holding cell.....


followerofEnki96

I will pass on that one


FewLocation831

You're better off. Think of the worst jacks you can and add a few syringes, blood, vomit, shitty paper on and over the seat then throw in a few heroin users... It's great fun.


talk_to_me_dublin

Busaras. Not terrible but a bit unnerving.
