WTF is wrong with people? Personal Hygiene

[Eli]

So I'm going to assume that the practice of having reading material in the bathroom isn't practiced in countries where these are prevalent?

I can't imagine that it would be very comfortable to squat and read a magazine.

I'm not sure how they would look upon that hygiene wise too. They might consider any such reading material to be contaminated.

Every public restroom needs one of these:

Technically this isn't that much worse but it feels icky to me.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Squat toilets:

• Dingle berries are rare.. and non existent if you wash instead of using TP.
• There is no chance of water bouncing onto your butt.
• There have been studies conducted where it is shown that it is a more healthier way of relieving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet#Advantages_of_squat_toilets

Normal toilets are aesthetically pleasing.. and are usually knee and ankle friendly.

Our home back in India has both of these toilets.

You missed what I meant there. I have no problems using squat toilets. What I find icky (and haven't actually tried yet) is showing over the toilet. That is having the shower stall and the squat toilet stall be the same stall.

I was just adding to your statement.. not contradicting in anyway.

How do old people use squat toilets?

The raised part at the front sort of acts like a urinal to collect pee and prevent it from overshooting. Not all squat toilets have that. Basically you just squat over them like the name says. You don't squat over the hole though.

LOL.. they are usually different. No one showers in the toilet stall.

Yeah they do in some places. Some public bathrooms in China had a shower and were like this.

Ohh.. this is a first for me.

 

[Eli]

Yeah, I've heard before that it's a more healthy position to do your business in. I can believe it, there weren't very many toilets(as we know them) around thousands of years ago.

 

[Locut0s]

Ohh.. this is a first for me.

Actually it was more common in peoples personal bathrooms. Sometimes the shower wasn't right over the toilet but to one side, sometimes it was right over it, either way the toilet acted as the drain.

I use the college bathrooms all the time and in general find them to be pretty clean, but the last two weekends someone took a shit outside of the toilet. Fucking troll. You can always tell because the second you open the door you can smell it, and then it becomes a game to find it. Once there was feces both on the seat and behind the toilet, the other time it was dead center in the bathroom floor. Next time it will be under the sink.

I use the college bathrooms all the time and in general find them to be pretty clean, but the last two weekends someone took a shit square in the middle of the bathroom floor. Fucking troll.

lol. Yeah in a college you just know it's some troll.

 

[Wyndru]

Do you drink coffee? Because at least for me, my shit cycle gets activated early in the morning thanks to it.

I don't actually, that probably helps too.

I always clean the seats off when I'm done, out of common courtesy. I see some people are still too young mentally to be using public restrooms.
Back in jail, fools got they asses whooped for not sanitizing & cleaning off the toilet when they finished.
Common courtesy, motherfucker.

What cleaning materials are you provided with in your cell?

There is a thread for that.
