New app lets you rent a toilet

story imageNew Yorkers are now renting out their toilets via an Airbnb-inspired app called "Airpnp" that shows the closest available commode and the price to use it, and instantly contacts the owner. Currently a handful of private addresses in the city offer their johns to any Johnny-come-lately.

The Post located one porcelain throne that bills itself as a "charming Carroll Gardens commode" in a "cozy loft-style bathroom" on Smith Street, Brooklyn, at the OrangeYouGlad graphic-design studio. "You're our first!" yelled art director Connie Leonard excitedly when The Post walked in and asked to use the advertised WC. The OrangeYouGlad crew doesn't charge latrine users - unlike a toilet shark in Little Italy who was charging $20 for people who "really need to go and this will have to do!" The bathroom doesn't even have a sink. A toilet in Woodside, Queens, is more affordable at just $1.

One of my first jobs was as a janitor at a local university. I can indeed confirm that the women's stalls were worse than men's on average. I blame it on the hover (ew, that toilet looks gross, I'm not gonna sit my ass on that, I'll squat above the toilet and let fly...oops, now it's even more gross).
