Ist List: Creepiest Subway Washrooms # 1

eglintonstinks.gif1. Eglinton Station (Upstairs, next to Kitchen Table)
Skipping straight to the number one pick for creepiest subway washroom…say hello to Eglinton Station! As one of the major bus stations on the subway line, Eglinton becomes a stopping point for a whole bunch of people. The washrooms are hidden in the back of the station, and get a lot of post-bar-if-I-don’t-pee-now-I-will-die business. At the same time, Torontoist can’t remember using the public facilities here without witnessing a homeless sponge-bath. The mirrors are long missing, but the ever-resourceful TTC people have provided patrons with shiny brushed metal plates; not great for checking hair or make-up, but effective at reflecting any creepers sneaking up behind you. And if nothing else, the lingering smell of Cin-A-Bon combines with air freshener for a…unique…experience.

    low point: rushing off the subway during the morning commute to puke in the eglinton bathroom due to massive hangover.

    I’d rather pee myself than use the Eglinton TTC bathroom. It’s scary in there!

    The number 2 creepiest subway washrooms is the Kennedy station. Booze bottles everywhere and a stench that rivals your number one choice.

    eglinton is pretty sick. i can recall one new years where i had cut myself pretty badly on a piece of glass (long story) and sought refuge in the eglinton station bathroom. and then i got a staph infection. are the 2 related? i don’t know. probably.

    i’ve used a lot of ttc washrooms, and eglinton is the only one i’ve been to that is dominated by hobos. they shave, wash their pits, change socks and defecate liberally. it is disgusting, and they give you the feeling that by urinating and washing your hands, you are encroaching on their personal space. liberal defecation? you know what i mean.

    homelessness is a worldwide problem, seymour, no matter what political leanings you have. do you think eglinton station is the only public washroom used by the homeless? maybe you should ‘see more’ of the world.

    There’s a much better washroom in the Yonge-Eglinton Centre, just outside the station. Walk out the turnstiles, keep going straight through a little tunnel, and you come out in a food court. The washrooms are in the hallway right behind Bagel Stop.
