iPhone app helps find friendly toilets

NEW YORK, - An iPhone app developed in New York aims to use social networking to help people find friendly homeowners with available bathrooms when nature calls.

The developers of the "CLOO" app, which is named for the words "community" and "loo," said on their Web site it allows urban dwellers to set up networks of friends and friends of friends to turn "any private bathroom into a public bathroom," the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

Bathroom seekers can pay a small fee to the homeowner online for access to the bathroom, the Web site states.

The company said it aims to solve "the problem of too-few easily accessible restrooms."

Some New Yorkers said they are resistant to the idea.

"My bathroom is my space, and I don't want anyone else messing around in there," Kaes Vanth, 25, told the Daily News.

Gee I can’t see any potential problems with this.

Some people really are too stupid to live.

These people need to buy a CLOO.

Also, I wonder if this will turn into a network of people with a "wide stance"?

Combine this with the city giving homeless cell phones and you will have some interesting confrontations.

Sounds like the iToilet application that made George Costanza a millionaire during the Seinfeld reunion episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

" seekers can pay a small fee to the homeowner online for access to the bathroom"

Then...someone or all get sued for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Now that's a bathroom!

Classic, there are even pictures of "gassers" on the wall. I see stuff from Big Daddy Roth, too.

There are even dumber social apps.

My idiot brother belongs to a website with a similar bent, but instead arranges to share couches for overnights. “Crash on my couch” or some stupid thing. What a fantastic idea! What could go wrong?

Morons.
