I've been to several Europeon countries and have found this to be horrible, you know what I'm talking about, the dreaded toilet designs of Europe. This guy wrote a hilarious article on it, much worth the entertaining read.

All true, I'm afraid. The crappers in Holland are exactly the same.
Perhaps F150Europe could add a continental angle to all this.

FYI, British crappers are "normal"

 

My favorite part:

 

quote:

Germans, however, see nothing amiss. They actually like their toilets. Some even dislike North American toilets. You splash yourself, they claim. I don't think this is possible. I've never splashed myself sitting on the toilet. For the wave to reach one's bottom, one would need to eject a hefty pellet at tremendous velocity. I think they're making that up.

Er, have you seen how much food the average German puts away?

I would say that was quite possible

 

I just thought it was quite humourous the way he worded that

I myself know for a fact that the splash theory is indeed acurate, depending on the test subject of course.

 

The splash isn't coming from the toilet design. They need to cut down on the sauerkraut and sausage intake just a hair.

 

I always thought that meant, "Use the sink." Oh well.

 

That had me howling. Bringing back dreaded memories of the inspection shelf. That is truely one topic that every american who has spent time in Germany often wonders about.

 

Now, now, let's not get too upset with the Germans.

The TP that was available when I was last there was not butt-friendly, but makes an excellent sandpaper for finishing woodwork projects.

 

We used to call that John Wayne TP. It's rough, tough, and doesn't take ***** off anybody.

 

You all think that is bad then try taking a crap while straddling a hole in the ground, no seat to sit on. That is the traditional toilet in Japan it is considered good hygiene because since your not sitting on anything you have very little chance of catching any thing.

They do have western type toilets (Thank God) but if you have to crap in the traditional Japanese toilet it’s best to just take your damn pants off so you don’t crap in your pants if not done far enough…

They must not believe in “private” time in Japan because I will tell you, you sure are not going to be able to read a few articles from your favorite magazine while trying to straddle a hole in the ground…

What the hell where these people thinking?

 

Check this out Burt. It's actually healthier for you to squat.

" The first time I flushed the toilet the water came rushing through so forcefully that a small chunk of poo launched off the lip and shot out over the floor. After that we always held the lid down when we flushed. I swore you could feel a kick as the turd ricoched off the underside."

Maybe Mr Hanky the Christmas poo lives there? hahaha

 

 

You are a sick man!
