Can we get bidet's to become a thing? The ones in Japan were amazing and even had heated seats. Never has my ass been so clean after using a public restroom.

While we're at it, can we convert to the European style of stalls? No gaps, pretty much floor to ceiling and lots of times it's all unisex

Most women will admit that they're just as, if not more, disgusting as men from a bathroom standpoint. Sure, we piss on everything, but we won't leave dirty tampons/pads on the floor/trashcan.

Women are also known to hover over the seat and go, messing the seats up.

Off-topic from cleanliness:

If there are an odd number of urinals, don't go to an even number if you're the first person in there (i.e. 3 urinals - don't go to the middle one)

One of the most uncomfortable moments I had was in a restroom where there were about 12 urinals. I was at the one of the far left. The rest were empty. Some dude comes in and goes to the one right next to me.

This quiz, like many out there, can help for those of you not familiar with the etiquette.

So here are the public toilets in China, which are squatting ones. Sometimes it was private or in a stall as shown, other times it was wide-open like how urinals are here. My wife hated these, while I didn't mind as I saved my deuces for the western-toilets in the hotels.

Couple of things:

My favorite is the bathroom where after you wash your hands you gotta grab the door nob and twist and pull after you know 90 other people that day didnt wash their hands just grabbed.

Next are the bar hand dryers which re use the cotton towel.

Finally are hand dryers, I ****ing hate hand dryers. Give me a paper towel.

Really any single stall restroom should be unisex. It's weird to have a designated sign when only 1 person goes in at a time anyways.


The new United Airlines lounges have all single occupancy unisex bathrooms.

Thanks for sparing us the details. :rolleyes:

But seriously, I can't believe no one else has said anything. In a c-store, this would be expected. In a place of work? Not so much. We have people who constantly splatter crap all over the bowl and leave it that way. Who does that?
We even have a toilet brush sitting next to the crapper, and some jerk still does it.

Only way that could get worse would be for him to check out your package.

I WILL be installing a washlet in my next home. I fell in love with them in Japan. Changed my life!

When I went to Australia in college, a couple of us guys went to use the restroom. We walk up to a urinal like this one (not my picture)

We stand on the tile, and do our thing. This Aussie guy walks in, looks at us weirdly, and stands on the grate and does his thing. Makes more sense than our method, I suppose. :confused:
