Graham Askey is a travel blogger, which sounds like an absolute dream job.

However, Askey's specialty is one that does not induce feelings of jealousy.  It honestly sounds pretty crappy.


Askey has spent £150,000 (around $165,000), traveling the globe looking for the world's worst toilet, and he believes he may have found it.

His travels, exceeding 75,000 miles, landed Askey in an isolated corner of Tajikistan, where Askey said per Daily Mail, "Having enjoyed some of the filthiest bathroom facilities to be found anywhere on the planet, the toilet in Tajikistan has to be the worst in the world — it is the perfect hell hole."

Askey reports that the "world's worst toilet" in Ayni, Tajikistan is located in a five-foot wooden stall surrounded by "sun-dried poo," and is infested with rats and venomous snakes.

It earned the title, however, from the sheer fact that people have used the flimsy privacy fabric that surrounds it as toilet paper.

EW.
