This ia actually common for American Offices in the Middle-East.
Either there were women where I used to work who thought the first way was how you used a toilet, or there were a bunch of guys in drag. It’s the only way to explain the condition of the seats in the executive area restroom. I always went halfway around the building to the one in the manufacturing area. It was always clean.
A fellow once told a story about his coworker. The guy came from a country where the toilet was basically a hole in the ground and you had to stand squatting on a platform. Then he came to America and for the first time was confronted with an indoor flush toilet.
He would stand on the seat and squat. No one could convince him to sit on it. So there was always footprints on the toilet seats.
actually we could use these in my building. we have a lot of asian students here for the first time and in some countries they do squat on the seat. and they haven’t figured out how we shit over here. they make a frigging mess and housekeeping is about to go on strike.
My dad’s work had some new machines brought in from singapore along with Singaporean technicians. They notice that a number of toilet seats were breaking and they found out that this was the reason.
Yeah, I was working overseas, and one of the guys working for one of our subcontractors slipped off the toilet seat while squatting on it, and his foot went into the crapper. He sprained his ankle and got a big goose egg on his head when his head hit the stall side. He came out looking dazed with a wet, shitty shoe.
Seriously guys, this is a crappy call.
If you went to Japan and had never seen the hole in the floor style before, would you automatically know how to use it? Would you know your bathroom slippers from your house slippers? Yes, when approaching a different culture, sometimes people need instructions on things like that.
In some countries, even if they do have flush toilets, people still would not sit on a public one for hygienic reasons. I, for one, would never sit on one without a cover. For some it might be easier to squat.
Yeah, squat toilets, porcelain holes in the ground.
The Petronas Towers in Malaysia? Engineering miracles? They have squat toilets.
I’m in Turkey right now… a place where Westerners are often confronted with the hole in the ground with a ceramic footprint either side… what amazes me are the supple knee joints of old guys here… if they spend the same amount of time in the small room as my old dad, well…
My father, in one of his less sane moments, once demanded my mom make a cushion for the toilet seat so he could sit on it more comfortably. He would not have lasted twenty-four hours overseas.
I have friends in Romania who have a great house and in the bathroom, a cushioned toilet seat – not fabric but a plastic material upholstering. It’s disconcerting :S
My paternal grandma had one of those. Of course, part of it was probably because she and grandpa lived in New Hampshire and in the winter porcelain seats get REALLY COLD.
I saw a hole-in-the-floor toilette on sale in an Istanbul street earlier today… shiny and new… tempted but…
Show me an actual porcelain toilet SEAT and I’ll give you a crisp new dollar.
My assistant is from the Philippines and said squatting on the seat is standard practice for Philippine women. And rinsing afterward with water from a pail while still squatting on the seat. She explained all of this to me after (figuratively) scaring the crap out of me in the bathroom – no feet/legs visible in the other stall, then the toilet flushed.
I doubt your assistant is from the main, north island of the PH. As that’s rarely done now here, men or women.
She’s probably from the central islands. Its more rural down there.
Do not stand on toilet. Check!
That’s actually a great way to poop when you’re constipated. I do that sometimes at home when I’m desperate.
Putting your feet on a stool or upside-down bucket works too.
Sooooooo, no upper deckers?
The turkeys in germany do it always wrong when they make a poo!
these are pretty common at the university I work at… they go up in all the toilets just before start of first semester to instruct new students (and staff) from countries that use pit toilets.
mind you I wouldn’t have minded detailed instructions for using pit toilets the first time I went to a country that uses them …
That actually is a great way to poop, because it puts your stomach in a straight line, if you sit down your stomach is squished and it’s harder to do, I always number two like that and i’m European.
But… if I don’t sit like this my detecting skills go down by 40%!
Don’t you mean your deductive skills?
detecting skills? wth are you talking about?
so i recently did a lot of reading up on toilets and toilet habits around the world (something sparked a wiki/google learning session)
these are more common around the world than the sit and flush type but my question is this: i am a fat chick with mobility issues…how would i use these? how do the handicapped work it out?
Sadly these holy toilettes tend to be in “developing” countries were disabled ppl don’t have a the same rights as other ppl
I never knew that L worked in an office.
I work at where this photo was taken, we work with a lot of people from India, so this was actually a problem issue since there was the occasional miss. Still was pretty funny when I showed up for work and saw the signs in every stall. Sadly some one must have complained because they were all taken down.
I have a theory that people living in countries with plumbing that requires you to sit, ie taking you off your natural squatting position, are more prone to develop colon diseases/cancer. You’re not *squeezing* all the crap, out of you, see?
Anyway, I have no idea what that has to do with this thread other that I have taken to squatting on my toilet seat for a more efficient s**t.
lol – certainly most doctors will probably agree the western toilette compared to the eastern is probably more likely to induce haemorrhoids – or as we call them in England Nobbies (after footballer Nobby Stiles), Farmers (after Farmer Giles), Chalfonts (after the village Chalfont St Giles)… ooo my grapes!
No carpet bombing, u mad
