This happened with one of my friends. The ceiling in his apartment's bathroom was leaking water. He eventually found out that the Indian couple above him was cleaning their bathroom by dumping a huge bucket of water on the floor.

also sh1thead, most floors in india dont have drains...but by all means go ahead and assume whatever you want.

I always find it funny how Indians hate to be pigeonholed on their culture and beliefs, but then you registered and posted under the name Inspector Jihad. Moron.

seriously, why wouldn't you dump it directly into the drain, rather than in the middle of the room somewhere?


that said, i really wish my kitchen and bathrooms had drains in the floor.

No kidding, and I'm not really sure while they don't. At worst you could have a piece of tile hiding it by being flush with the ground. It is a great idea, but WTF no one implements it.

That is pretty darn funny. I can only image what I would do if I where in another country.

Why would the average Indian be pigeonholed with the name 'Inspector Jihad'? That makes no sense whatsoever. Most Indians are not even Muslim.

I also have to admit that I enjoy reading the stories about your roommate. They're quite bizarre and interesting.

It's always a little amusing when other people of Indian descent (of which I am as well) try to defend idiocy just because the person in question is Indian.

its nice to chuckle at these stories but not nice to degrade other people.
i think sometimes people (either the OP or other posters) ridicule people of different cultures by portraying them as ignorant. to all the haters out there - dont act so shocked that people do things differently; its demonstrating your own ignroance more than theirs.

IIRC, you posted about this roommate washing his privates with water & hand after pooping instead of using TP. Half the world does that; so dont act so surprised.
Also when done correctly, using water actually cleans your butthole better than using TP correctly. So its likely that his butthole is cleaner than yours.

youre of indian origin? if so you can probably ask your dad or grandpa and they might tell you about that wonderful feeling of having a 100% clean anus after using water.

just my two cents.

No, I don't think anybody is portraying an entire people or culture as completely ignorant or whatever else you like. What this character did was ignorant and stupid. Believe it or not, but other cultures have incompetent people within their population, too!

They can also tell him about having a feces infested hand. And if his father is in the US now, I'm sure that he doesn't smear feces on his hands either. It's called modernization. Lots of people try it.

Roommate: "Where is the hole in the floor?"
Me: :confused:--"What hole?"

"The drainhole"

:confused:--"What drainhole?"

"There should be a drainhole to let the water out"

"Uhh, no, there shouldn't be."

"Well then how do you clean?"

"With a broom or a mop. I have a Swisher Wet Jet"

"A what?"

"Nevermind. What happened here?"

"Well, I saw that you cleaned the bathroom [I cleaned the shower, toilet, sink earlier] so I thought I'd help by cleaning the floor. But when I dumped the pail of water I noticed it wasn't draining anywhere."

"You dumped what?"

"I dumped water to wash everything down the drain and realized there was no drain. No worries, I will mop it up."

Of course, my last question was, "did you use the bucket on top of the toilet to dump the water?" :shocked: But he told me he used a bigger one--that one is too small.

Lesson #147 for my roommate: While floors in India have drains, most floors in America do not.

You seem to have a lot of problems with Indians in general. Are you so ashamed of your brown skin that you feel the need to denigrate your roommate?

Bloody coconut. Remember that you will always be a brown skin unless you want to be the next Michael Jackson.

Let me ask you a question - were you born in the USA or are you just there for studying?

I'm not Indian, but if my dad or grandpa tried to tell me about his anus I think I would have to shoot myself.

Let me get this right - he has 'problems with Indians in general' because his roommate is apparently a complete moron? And because of his roommate's actions, he's now ashamed of his own skin color? That makes no sense.

Let me ask you a question - were you born in the USA or are you just there for studying?

Most people that come to your conclusions were obviously born in India. Sheesh, talk about massive India-pride. It's like we're supposed to be a hive mind or something.

I have to make note of this in my ATOT faux pas list, "Don't make fun of Indian Indians for doing stupid shyt".
Is it still fair game to make fun of arrow-slinging Indians for doing stupid shyt?

100% clean? You got proof to back that up? Because I highly doubt it. The skin on your hand has almost no absorptive properties. So getting your asshole wet and rubbing it with your hand just rubs wet shit particles all over your ass. Not to mention you've now got a hand that smells like shit.

The best combination would be water and toilet paper. The water to loosen up the poo-particles, and the toilet paper to absorb the remains.

You are being hated upon by what seems to be an Indian....

yeah i am part indian...but laughing behind someone's back due to cultural differences just isnt somethign that i find funny...regardless of race.

You'd be laughing your nuts off at this guy if the OP had never mentioned his race.

So STFU.
