Some people like to hover to avoid touching the seat… And this is what happens if you hover.
And that’s why people want to avoid the seat in the first place…
i wonder how people like this existed in the ancient world where all toilets were not only communal but had no privacy.
You only spray poop on someone once.
Then you get told, and never do it again.
they would have banned you if you sprayed poop on someone else; so i don’t think this applies. lol
In Rome, slaves would go into the bathroom to sit on the seat to warm it up so that your own personal butt cheeks did not have to touch cold stone.
I imagine the slaves would also be used to clean the toilet seat when you were done as well.
Possibly different slaves:-).
Warm toilet seats are low-key the things I miss most since my visit to Japan in April.
Then it sounds like you have a project in front of you, to find a way to make it happen at home!? :-P
That was me many years ago.
At some point I learned/realized how the pros and cons stacked up -
Pros:
- komfee
Cons:
- 404
(Provided, I do have a pre-sit wipe policy evertim)
we had a similar sign. it was required due a large number of contractors from india who didn’t use toilets in … appropriate ways
That sounds like they were molesting the toilets.
Nah it’s the western nations that use the toilet wrong. Sitting to poop is bad for you. It killed Elvis! You should have provided a squatty potty.
bathroom regulations are written in poop
OSHAT will come down on you hard
Easy. Someone of a different culture was standing on the toilet seat because there are cultures with holes in the ground and that’s basically the toilet.
Likely the person was unaware how to handle the situation.
Common in plenty of places
I hate squatters. They’re common in France, too, or at least were 30 years ago.
What’s wrong with squatters? You get a work out while you poo, and it comes out better because of the yogic body stance
I actually prefer these. No dirty seat, most flush like normal, and for my anatomy at least, the squat position keeps everything clean. Like it’s the way we were meant to go. Can’t imagine trying to balance on the rim of a bowl, though. Anyone confused by western toilets must think we’re nuts.
Just smells terrible because no water to cover it up. Also need to be careful with your pants/underwear that are around your legs and still near the bowl.
I never really figured out how to use a squatter toilet properly. Are you supposed to take off your shoes and pants? If not, how do you avoid pooping right into your pants? I almost always avoid these toilets unless I can’t hold it any second longer.
How do you go in the woods? If you squat fully, your butt is behind your legs and for women anyway everything points more or less down. Waist band pulled just to your thighs so shorts end up above your waist completely and pant legs will be in front and to the sides. A skirt or long shirt you might have to wrap up from behind and hold in front of you. I’m no expert, but it seems to work out
Huh. I see. Thanks. Will try this next time I use a squatter toilet.
I would never be able to use these.
Not because of their nature, but because I would have to Slav squat to get into the correct position. And even at my thinnest, I have never been able to Slav squat without turtling over backwards.
I can only squat while perched on the balls of my feet, which require them to be much closer together and produces a much more upright position, putting any pants and underclothes that I have rolled down directly in the path of any brown bombs.
Wonder if accessible squat toilets have pullup bars over them
Well these came up…
Confirmed. Saw plenty of signs like this in Japan. Not quite so… graphic with the shitnado, but same spirit.
You ever been into a stall at a concert or sporting event? There’s almost always a toilet like this. People are monsters.
I’ve volunteered at them. One particularly interesting (and thankfully paid) just was washing out the portapotties (from way back, with a pressure washer). I’ve seen things that shouldn’t be humanly possible, how does one shit on the ceiling?
Oh, on the ceiling was almost certainly a drunken wiping accident. Wipe, inspect fingers, discover ¾ of your turd on your hand, wildly flail until clean.
My friend works at a fast food place and they said it’s amazing how many people will just shit everywhere.
It’s like a daily occurrence.
Ooh I have a story I can tell. Once I had to pee extremely bad while I was at the grocery store. I run to the bathroom essentially kick the door open and immediately stop. You know those illusions where if you look at it from a specific angle you can see a perfect shape drawn on through multiple surfaces? Imagine that but with this toilet. From a certain angle it looks like somebody shotgun blasted a perfect circle around the toilet. Sprayed on the seat, the wall, the tank and the floor. To this poor fuckers credit there was a singular wipe streak across the back of the toilet seat but looks like he promptly gave up. Then the smell hit me, my nose hairs inverted inward. For a fraction of a second i said fuck it I really need to pee, but I wasn’t a couple inches into the bathroom before I just slammed the door shut and walked away. The smell stuck with me for hours.
When I was a dishwasher at Cracker Barrel it was my job to clean the bathrooms during the day. Once I was called to the ladies’ room to clean it, and it looked like not only did she bend over, but spin in a circle while spraying shit everywhere. It coated the floor and five feet up the walls.
I would have loved for the bathroom to have this sign.
I don’t think it would have helped.
Dear Lord,
Please save us all from this fucking shit.
Amen.
Ironically enough, hypochondriacs who don’t want to touch the seat while shitting. So they crouch over it, and rarely in as vertical a position as when sitting directly on it.
hypochondriacs*germaphobes
FIFY
For some reason I always thought it was just assholes.
technically it’s always assholes
I realized the pun after I posted and was like, you onowz that’s gonna make someone smile.
Sometimes peeholes
shitting? that sounds painful
I’m guessing OP never had explosive diarrhea that you barely managed to get to the toilet!!! Then again normal people clean after themselves so the sign being there means that some assholes are going to that place!
Sometimes there’s shit on the outside of the torlet and shit on the outside of the urinus
#unexpectedletterkenny
Imagine having explosive diarrhea and getting into a toilet stall and worrying you’re gonna shit your pants… and someone has pissed all over the seat.
I’d make a big mess because of the last guy’s little mess.
Toilet seats should default to up when there’s no force on them. Like with a rotation spring or a counterweight.
That used to be a thing. The Crapper Toilet company used to have a sprung toilet seat. It was of mixed success. The rubber stops on the bottom of the seat were made of natural rubber. As the rubber oxidized it would get sticky. This led to the seat sticking to the bowl for a moment. Then spring up and hitting you in the ass as you stood up. It gained the name the crapper clapper.
Mostly though do you really want a seat sliding up your ass as you stand up?
Couldn’t one just hold it down while standing up?
Can you touch the toilet seat when you are standing? I can’t. It seem one would have to hold ot down stand half way. Make a 180° turn, then let go as you stand up all the way. All with you pants around your ankles.
I am going to stick with manual toilet seats. I wouldn’t stop you it you want to make a spring loaded one.
I can touch an area behind my butt during the whole sitting up motion, if I just want to prevent sliding.
But anyhow I can’t stop you either. I’ll have to invite you to the focus group when I’m a big time toilet seat inventor. :-D
