On my return trip from Big Lake, Missouri, I had the honor of discovering an interesting restroom configuration.
As you know, most gas station restrooms are filthy, especially when located off the Interstate. While this restroom was clean and tidy, someone made the curious choice of putting a carpet square under the urinal.
Yes, taking a photo in a public restroom is as awkward as you think. Luckily, no one with a wide stance or otherwise was occupying the restroom.
So, why would you put a carpet square under the urinal? Here are the only reasons I could come up with.
1. To soak up piss for easy cleanup
2. Piss puddles are less apparent when soaked in carpet
3. It really brings a heretofore neglected sense of warmth to the urinal
