glad I didn't choose to be ironic by pooping my pants
I would assume hospitals are clean enough since they kind of have to be

I have a public bathroom nightmare story.
I was in Wuhan and had bad food poisoning from something but we were driving along the highway. I was like "I need to shit now". And they kept telling me there was no option and I should just wait an hour and a half. I was like "I can't I will shit in my pants". So they're like "okay we'll pull over and just shit on the side of the road". This was a busy highway. Tons on people, no trees or anything. You would absolutely be seen shitting on the side of the road. I had seen people shit in public before, but they were all children, and as a foreigner I would really stick out. So I said "I can't, isn't their a public rest stop or something?" And they were like "you don't want to do that, the road is better".
This was a surreal experience. I was in a car with my wife, her parents, and her grandma and everyone was trying to convince me to shit on the side of the road and not in a rest area bathroom. But I didn't relent and so he said he would go to the next stop. It was a gas station and he told me to go shit behind the gas station, not inside of it. I was like it has a sign for restroom, I am going to use it.
I worked as a janitor for 6 years. I cleaned up shit on all kinds of surfaces. I've got experience with dirty stuff. This bathroom was beyond anything. Although it was a squat toilet (so like a hole in the ground) every single surface had shit on it. The floor, the walls, the handles you hold on to when squatting, somehow even the fucking ceiling has some shit on it. I managed to hover over the toilet, not touching any surface and just absolutely spray paint whatever happened to be behind me. It was so hard to hover and not touch any surface, but that was the only option. Afterwards I had to wash my shoes off before getting back in the car.
We still joke about the story but now I no longer make fun of them for the time they shat behind a gas station in Inner Mongolia instead of going inside. I get it now.
