The "Potty" Awards

Following up to a previous post, I have decided to hand out an award for the Best Restroom during my 2007 to 2008 pregnancy. I have appropriately named it the “Potty.” “Pottys” are awarded based on a strict judging system in which I, armed with pregnant rage, use a public restroom and then gage my irritability after exiting said bathroom. My irritability, or lack thereof, is based upon the following criteria: (This list is not all-inclusive and can be changed without notice because it’s my award.)
  • Bathroom or stall size (private, one-room bathrooms receive preference)
  • Touchless flush, water, soap, and paper towels (touchless does require no spraying back at the user, simply a clean stream or flush—I’m glaring at you, Target toilets)
  • Doors that open out
  • Overall cleanliness and lack of “findings” on the toilet seat

    Preference will be given to those bathrooms with:
  • Extra décor matching the restaurant style
  • Lotions/perfumes/hairspray
  • Full-size mirrors
  • A bathroom attendant

Without further adieu, the winner of this pregnancy’s “Potty” award for the Best Restroom goes to…..Pawit’s Royal Thai Cuisine in Holladay! The restroom is not only clean, it has doors that open out, it’s private, and it’s clean. Lack of touchless amenities did knock it down a bit but the royal throne was redeemed by oriental décor, a trellis with flowers that blocks the view of the toilet from the door in case somebody busts in, large mirrors, smelly soap, and complimentary hand lotion. Congrats Pawits on your “Potty!”

Are those rose petals on the floor? What do you think those absorb? And furthermore, how often do you think those lil' puppies are replaced?

Congrats, little Thai place. I drove by there today and wondered "Hhmmm, is that place as trashy as some of the other restaraunts that have been there?" If it is trashy, I'll just go eat my food in the bathroom, because that apparently is pretty good.

Pretty sure it probably beats the Hong Kong cafe that used to be there.

You should do some sort of Best and Worst list for those of us who are not pregnant yet, but wish to benefit from your bathroom knowledge when we are. Thank you Obi-wan.

Oh, I HATE public bathrooms that have fake plants in them. Do you think when they clean the bathroom that they dust/wipe off the plants? Doubtful. Sorry lady, your Potty award is crap.... no pun intended.
