Pretty funny what people come up with on the web. Take a look at this site, it’s called MizPee.
It’s purpose — to find you the closest and cleanest public restrooms in your area.
So the next time you find yourself needing a bathroom badly, just use your mobile phone browser to key in your City, State, Street Address and it’ll crank out the nearest ones which you can go to or avoid (with bathroom ratings).
It’s a good idea but there are 2 main drawbacks:
1) it seems to depend on individual recommendations to add bathroom reviews to its database and there seems to be a huge lack of it at the moment
I keyed in my street address and the nearest clean bathroom was in Cincinnati about 4 hours away. Being well known/ big cities, I did expect Cleveland or Columbus to be in there.
2) it is only limited to 13 states
Also check out the Looism trivia page to catch up on your toilet trivia… useful for breaking the ice the next time you meet someone new.
Being a Web 2.0 user generated website, they may have to spread the word more and maybe tie it in with companies like Mapquest and Google Maps where location/ directional data is more easily accessible. Until then, you can be sure that I won’t be driving 4 hours to go to a highly rated bathroom.

The IBS community would likely also be happy about such a service.
