A Betoota Heights woman has consoled her husband after he was forced to use a public toilet without a seat at the Riverside Park Amenities Block on Tuesday morning.

The 34-year-old man had been walking along the Diamantina River when he entered the council facility shortly before 10am. Upon discovering the cubicle's toilet seat was missing, he later said he had "no option" but to proceed.

"There was nothing I could do," he said.

"It was just a metal prison toilet. No seat. There was piss on every square inch of it. I felt a big tightness in my throat, then my bum. I was one of those moments when like the poo detatches itself from your subconscious and you begin to feel the alien mass occupying your lower colon. It was evacuation stations!"

The man’s wife, who was waiting outside with a pram, said she could tell something was wrong when he exited the block on the verge of tears.

"He looked upset," she said.

"He told me he’d been left with no choice. No choice but what?"

The woman said she offered reassurance but questioned whether the situation was as dire as described.

"I asked if he'd considered holding on until we got home and he just broken down. City boys, I'll tell you. I said he didn't have no choice but to use a piss soaked metal toilet, he could've shit his pants or taken a shit in the bush and used the wet wipes from the nappy bag. Fuck's sake,"

"If I had a dollar for every disgusting public toilet I've had to use over the course of my life, I could honestly buy a shitty used car."

She added that, in extreme circumstances, he could have ripped a pocket off his shirt and used that to wipe if supplies were limited.

More to come.
