That is just SO wrong!
Add that I just now noticed the ’spray’ all over the back wall…
.
Blick.
.
So much for lunch.
EWW! DIRTY
Apparently someone didn’t want to use the squat toilet… I might do the same, but would also be sure to clean up the place too! ewwww is right.
This appears to me to be middle east type toilet that has been modified for use by Americans, probably soldiers who took over a house in Iraq or Afghanistan. As a US Army soldier who has been there, I dont see a fail in this either.
Tasty!
nom nom nom..
Now I’ve seen it all!
Seriously! I think this MUST be in China. Could NOT believe the feces-splattered floors in the bathrooms throughout China. Straight up nasty!
That is just SO right!
That is just SO unsanitary!
But right!
I see no fail in this
I almost rented that apartment!
Can someone help me? I see no fail
Most Americans have seen only one kind of toilet, so they don’t realize this is probably an accommodation 1) for someone who can no longer use the squat toilet due to age or infirmity or 2) for an American who can’t figure out how to use a hole in the floor.
I just think it’s filthy. Ugh. And UNSANITARY.
It actually is probably more sanitary than western toilets. the waste is washed out with water and there is less of your body in contact with a toilet that has probably seen the use of hundreds of strangers before you.
Um, just as a tiny point of fact, many public toilets are cleaner than those in private homes. The reason being, public restrooms (ostensibly) get cleaned several times a day. A large number of people don’t clean their home bathrooms that often. There are, of course exceptions to the rule.
Charmin has a bathroom extravaganza each Christmas in Manhattan. You go up a steep escalator and stand in line like you would at Disney. Then you get up to the guy that tells you what booth to use and he talks to you on his microphone. And if you let him know you are going to do “#2″, he will call out a plunger alert. Then when you are done, they run in and clean it before the next person.
I never thought pottying could be so much fun.
Clicky my name
Why do I find that so disturbing?
All that aside, #2 is something I try to never have to do in a public restroom.
I whispered that my son was going to do #2 so when my son got up to him, the plunger alert was yelled out. My son stopped trying to hit on the hot girl in line behind him.
Same hear, and if I have to I certainly don’t want to
announce it over the PA system.
hear = here
That was cruel.
And freaking hilarious!
How did he get back at you?
Ooo! Storytime!
*gets the popcorn*
Oooo! Storytime! Wait for me! I just need to go do #2! Be right back!
*picks up loudspeaker*
THAR SHE BLOWS, MATEYS…PREPARE THE PLUNGER!!
Yay, I want to experience that! I would gladly rip the mike from the announcer’s hands and yell “Number two! And pray you ain’t after me!”
And on a side note: Waiting for a story, whilst this day’s second AM hour is moving on nicely.
He never got me back. You would think I was one of those amphibians that can get myself pregnant. There is no evidence of his father in his looks or personality (thank goodness). He found it as funny as I did. He “whooped” when he came out of the stall and told them they would need two plungers and a gas mask to go in there. His dad was moritified. You don’t joke around about bathroom habits in Central America apparently.
Sounds like you and he would fit in quite well in a firehouse. If it’s not sexual jokes, it’s toilet jokes.
Is it to late for me to be a firefighter? Sounds like good times.
You have no idea. And, I was a youngish 35 when I got this job, so no, I doubt it’s too late for a young lass such as yourself!!!
Young? Sweets, I’m officially a cougar now!
Rawr!!! *thinks of several videos*
Cougars are awesome!!!
*lusts*
Oh, and Mookie, dear, I KNEW that, I was being chivalrous. I know, you didn’t recognize it because it’s generally an extinct animal in the US, but it still exists in small doses in well-hidden places.
*hugs* Chivalry is so rare these days!
Yeah, public toilets are cleaned multiple times a day because they usually have a constant stream of people using them. Do you have a constant stream of people using your home bathroom? :p
I lived with my son during his teenage years, does that count?
Thankfully no. But there are people with abnormally large families. I’m willing to bet that not ALL of them clean their toilets even ONCE a day.
HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THIS PICTURE?? It’s not JUST the toilet that’s failing here.
The most logical explanation. just the one my mom used to convince me to use these kind of toilets, they are the most hygenic, except if you cant controll your foot and it falls down the hole.
That is because you have probably you have never lived in a place like that
this invention is actually quite smart.
Geez, you don’t have to be so mean about Americans. I’m sure I could “figure out” how to use this. The fact that I might not choose to makes me perhaps fastidious, rather than stupid.
Yeah! Americans are good. They gave us Coca-Cola, McDonalds and a president with humo(u)r. Let’s blame the Swedes! They(we) gave us(you) IKEA!
lol
and volvo
please don’t forget volvo
they’re boxy… but good
And dragons!
Well…this particular dragon, anyway.
We’re *FOOOOM!!*y…but also good.
*grin!*
I drive a pink Volvo but I got it on the black market. You can tell it isn’t the real thing, they misspelled Volvo as Vulva.
Whew – where have you been, Ry? I can’t keep up the smut level all by myself, you know!
BTW, word on the street is you’ve got a sweet ride.
*polite cough*
Mookie! I was just talking about your pink and fuzzy pictures earlier. Go figure.
rofl
The Volvo is better than the SAAB, or the extreme-failing jet-fighter that SAAB makes. Yeah, the one that crashes whenever it’s supposed to fly.
That’s Sweden for you. I’m, lucky I don’t count myself as a swede.
I am sure that Sweden is tickled about that as well.
So, I’m a quarter tickled.
Is the part that is tickled your fancy?
Or perhaps your ivories?
She’s was tickled pink until she felt she was a little tickled to death.
You sound jolly. Perhaps it was your funny bone.
*tickled*
*dies*
Coyote, do you know snout-to-mouth resuscitation?
I suspect that you are playing opossum.
*eye enticing ribs and loosens fingers up*
*hands coyote a “Tickle-Me Elmo”*
Here. You might need this.
I prefer the “Tickle-Me-Dilly”. It is more interactive.
Norway buys their Jet-fighters from the states (if I remember correctly), and Sweden just laughs at it’s own failure. Now that’s what I call “sense of humour”.
Interactive, and creative…infer what you will…
Oh I’m inferring. Have no doubts on that subject.
A tacky homonym innuendo also leapt to my mind, but it shall stay there.
*aside…
Coyote:
मई अपने जीवन लंबा हो, तुम्हारा आनन्द अतिप्रवाह, और अपने दिन उज्ज्वल हो. शांति तुम्हारे साथ है, प्रिय दोस्त हो.
That’s for yesterday’s news. Love ya, kiddo, stay funky.
Thanks. That means a lot. I got through it once before and I can go through it again.
♫I’ve done it before and I can do it again♫
Oh and for the funky part you can add an electric bass part to my singing.
*hughughughughughughughug!!!*
I’ll be a dragon at your back, coyote, should you need one.
*goes off to locate coyote’s news*
Thanks. Have you given thought to the sword cane that I mentioned yesterday yet?
Look on the Pizza Delivery fail, sweets. December 16th, 2008 at 12:05 am.
*plugs in amplifiers*
You go, girlfriend, rock that f*cker!!!
.
OK, it’s late, I’ve damaged enough brain cells for one night… ttfn.
G’night, Lunchbox!!
*smooch*
And coyote…unfortunately, they are illegal to carry in my state.
I think I’m going to buy the curvy, coily dragon one. I called the company today and asked if they could make it to my height specifications, and they said they could.
Coyote, please take whatever strength you can from your friends here. May your sense of humor never fail you when you need it.
They are probably illegal here too. One needn’t actually carry it to have that self satisfied coolness feeling. They are not well designed for use as a functioning cane any way. More of a snappy, gentleman about town, walking stick sort of thing.
And we’ll always do what we can to help keep it going, too.
Or prop you up.
And I’m always willing to *FOOOOM!* something for you, if that will help!
Admiral: Funny that you should mention humor. Last time I would lay on my bed listening to my collection of old comedy records over and over. Even when I didn’t laugh it lightened things.
Besides, the CT scan may come back negative. Someday when I wish to make you all ill I shall tell you about my first scan and what happened when my innards decided that they didn’t like the contrast agent. I still wonder how long it took them to clean up their machine.
Fast researching by the way.
I wish could stay awake to 3AM so I can hang with you more!
Remeber Dragon that you too have more support than a mere classy cane.
*crosses wings and talons in hopes of a good outcome*
Aw. I didn’t see your previous comment when I posted that.
*is touched*
*yes, in the head, but also in the heart*
Thank you, my friend.
*hug*
*crosses fingers, crosses toes…. Oh hell, crosses everything that can be crossed!*
Dragon, Admiral have the two of you clicked on my name yet to see your song performed yet?
I left a further lavender chicken comment on your site. It is on your latest postings comment section.
I believe that you would like the song as well.
COYOTE!!!!
*can’t breathe for laughing*
Well. Speaking as a tattooed lady who has maybe, possibly (I wouldn’t want to be presumptuous, you know) swept an admiral off his feet…
BWUAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!
*wipes eyes*
That is too perfect. Thank you.
I was under the impression that the Admirable Admiral was the one with the broom.
(He is. *grin!* )
I am too tired to type anymore. G’night all!
*yawns and shuffles sleepily off to find her nest*
You are right Avis. After all a sailor knows how to sweep. Oar am I wrong?
Coyote, that was priceless! Dragon, you are always making me walk on air.
Oh crap…I thought you’d gone to bed and wouldn’t see that.
*blush*
Well, it was worth it to see that response.
Hee…!
After reading that I’ll be driving a woodie for the rest of the day.
I think you’d do better with a 9iron.
The only problems I see with them is the fear of woodchucks and matches. Other than that, hey knock yourself out!
whiplasher, you fail in ideology! how can you have a NAZI alike avatar and say americans are good!?!?!?!?! ahahaha
I don’t think Kenneth was being mean, Mookie. Just stating facts. I know I oculdn’t use the traditional Japanese toilets for… oh, about the six years I was living there. Literally. Even if I was sick, I just couldn’t use it. Of course, that’s just one example.
Well then lets just chalk it up to Kenneth being an ignorant ass instead. Becasue there are plenty of non-Americans who would have the same reaction to the whole in floor. Lets name a few shall we? Canadian, French, British, German, Irish, Scotland, Spaniards ….
Thanks, Erick.
Furthermore, as to the phrase:
“…an American who can’t figure out how to use a hole in the floor”
I can’t see this as anything but an insult.
“Furthermore, as to the phrase:
“…an American who can’t figure out how to use a hole in the floor”
I can’t see this as anything but an insult.”
.
I really do think you’re being over sensitive about it. I gave you one example of an American who literally couldn’t figure out how to use a hole in the floor without decently. I’m sure there were others. Many of my foreign friends in Japan expressed the same difficulty.
*cough*cough*
I mean, “how to use a hole in the floor decently.”
The problem is that majority of the world’s population has this crazy idea that Americans are unintelligent and dumb. Whist the rest knows better. It’s like the jokes about the French in the UK. They just keep coming.
I guess it’s hard to be an American on the web with all the anti-Americans running around spreading lies. So, no. If one takes offence, one does. It has nothing to do with sensitivity and such witchcraft.
(my two cents)
The important part is that you have to be able to joke about yourself before you begin joking about someone else. Like me for an example. IKEA ftw!
Americans being able to laugh about “stupid American” jokes would help stop the stupid American jokes, I think.
Here’s a way to think about it. If you’re American & you’re not stupid, then you shouldn’t be insulted by “stupid American” jokes, because they’re NOT talking about you
I agree that people need to take things less seriously. I mean, we are on the series of tubes. It’s not a giant truck.
I have to say that I am an American . . .
And I laugh at myself on a regular basis (usually three or four times a day)
But – that being said – I doubt I could deal with a hole in the floor for long. I mean – how am I supposed to read my paper or my latest book in comfort if I have to sit there and squat? I would be forced to have something similiar to what we see here I am thinking – but then my ankles would probably be all messy and smelly . . . .
I think I will stick with the good old toilet . . .
People that take offense at “stupid american” jokes are the same type that take offense at racial humor or joking about handicapped people. “Yeah its funny but we shouldn’t laugh about it in public.” Bottom line: there are smart/stupid people and nice/assholish people of every nationality, religion, and race. Anyone who takes offense at any generalization of a people needs to remove the stick from their butt and sit back and relax.
As long as we’re making fun of furriners, it’s fine.
JK!
That is Madness!!
Are you saying that we’ve gone one step beyond?
It must be love.
Although, to be fair, America does have a disproportionately large number of complete tools.
Welcome to the House of Fun.
Oooh, a fun house!!! I’ve got my Baggy Trousers on!!!
Just so long as the innuendo machine is in there!
Oh, it is.
I don’t think that’s the innuendo machine.
*wink*
Yup, got it all warmed up, st(r)oked the fires, now it’s ready for hard labo(u)r.
See, now there’s steam pouring from his pants!! Again!
*grabs Lunchbox’s fire extinguisher*
*FOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH!!!!*
Man. I’m glad you you didn’t sell that thing yet!
Wow, that’s a rush… Nothing like a little Carbon Dioxide blast to stiffen things up… Not that it was a problem before, mind you. Still, thanks for that!
I am an American who realizes that a great many Americans ARE stupid. A great many people of every nationality are stupid. Its just an unfortunate aspect of american society that the stupid people tend to be the most vocal. Hey stupid people, do us all a favor and just shut up and let those of us who are a bit more intelligen handle things. We’ll all be A LOT (and yes, that is 2 words, not one) better off. kthx
Well your president for the last 8 years says otherwise.
“The problem is that majority of the world’s population has this crazy idea that Americans are unintelligent and dumb.”
The majority of the world’s Americans tend to believe that the US *is all there is* though – so it’s kinda swings and roundabouts, isn’t it?
To be fair, you could extend that argument to cover *any* type of bigoted joke… if I tell a joke about stupid [group of people], you shouldn’t be insulted if you’re part of said group because you’re not stupid?
You are stupidly sensitive if you react to that comment like that.
Careful here, ErickB
You are right, but I bet you do not want to spent your time and energy feeding certain creatures.
I like how the Chinese were left out of that.
Thanks…! LOL
Grr i hate getting interrupted at work, my reply to Erick took
so long that Mook and Lou beat me to it.
Mostly because the Chinese have almost exclusively squat toilets. And they’re actually not that uncommon in a lot of European areas.
And the Icelanders…
This toilet is probably FROM China! Talk about people who have NO aim for their floor hole! Never seen so much feces on peoples shoes and all over bathroom floors as I did throughout ALL of China. At least with this device, folks are well aimed to hit the hole!
That’s unnecessary, Erick
Is something bothering you? Do you need a *HUG*?
well, actually, I’ve been living in France for the semester, and they have “hole in the ground” toilets, here too, called “Turkish Toilets.” The chair over the hole is actually a step up from a normal turkish toilet.
I think this is a “LOL” rather than a “FAIL”
Uh, Erick, have you spent any time in continental europe? The hole-in-the-floor is not uncommon (in public toilets, that is). At least in France and Spain.
Oh, and *whispers* Scotland is British.
But they wish they weren’t. IMO, the Britts made the whisky worse.
Everyone knows Irish whiskey is far better than Scottish whiskey anyway!
….not.
:p
As long as I don’t have to drink the Scottish blended stuff I’m all go.
Uh oh. Loz may have started a holy war here. I gotta say that the only whiskey I’ve been able to drink and enjoy was Jameson. Damn that went down well.
I’m a Speyside Scotch lover…best single malts in the world.
Mmmmm. I miss my Cardhu.
I avoid alcohol & stick to dairy products. Seems to do the trick for me.
The best whisky comes from the Islay district in Scotland, I’d take an Ardneg any day.
Jameson only works in Irish Coffee. But I quite like Tullamore Dew.
Ardbeg, not Ardneg… GAAH!
Not a whiskey drinker normally, prefer Courvoisier or B&B myself.
Ooh…aren’t the Islay whiskeys the ones that taste like you’re sucking on a peat bog??
*pleh!*
Oh well, yes!
And it’s the greatest taste sensation a human can ever feel.
It’s like a dream, a beautiful dream with bright blue skies and green meadows with unicorns dancing with each other. The flowers have colours you’ve never imagined before.
And then it comes, the fire spitting dragon that brings havoc to the world. The warlocks brings down all that is holy. The world is in chaos, there’s anarchy ’round the corner….
Aah, it’s so, so, so beautiful.
Yeah, what he ^^ said. I think.
By far, the best I’ve had the pleasure of sampling is The Macallan 30-year Oak-cask Whiskey. And a distant second would be Knob Creek’s Kentucky Bourbons, but they’re waaaaaayyy back there in comparison.
Oh, and, yeah, what Whiplasher said^^.
Erm… squat toilets are quite common in France, e.g. in the service areas off motorways. They’re much more hygenic in this case, since you don’t touch it except with your shoes.
Except Canada, all those countries border France, and most people would know what one was.
Canada doesn’t border France?
Nah, isn’t it next to Africa?
.
rael “perpetuating stupid American stereotype” alt
Africa is that city right below Cuba. DUH! Stupid stereotype!
Oh yeah, that’s the one with that bridge, you know, over some water.
Hanging Gardens of Babylon!!
I didn’t think that bridge led anywhere!
You know what though? I think you can see Russia from it.
You’re confusing it with Czechoslovakia.
AAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!
*dives under the couch*
Hey I was here first!
The couch: Passageway to beautiful dreams.
Under the couch: Evil cat with sharp claws. (Diet: feet)
Good lord. Doesn’t anyone ever dust under here? These dust bunnies are so big, I think we need to take them to the vet for vaccinations!
Hey! Watch what yer grabbing there! Dust bunnies indeed.
She thought she was pulling on one of the ears.
Not the French – they use this kind all the time, and in some motorway rest areas you get a choice! Even in the ladies’ room!
I have to disagree. This kind of “toilet” is in fact
very common in France, maybe not in Paris, but
in the rural areas.
The toilet shown in the picture (less the chair) is called a French toilet.
Guess why that is. Now review your list of non-Americans who would have the same reaction to a hole in the floor.
Oh, and read up on a culture before making statements about it.
@ErickB
slightly ironic, calling Kenneth an ignorant ass when you are unable to recount the nationality for someone from Scotland (its Scottish by the way)
ErickB I assume you are a stereotype ignorant American based
on the fact that you are fast to criticise others while thinking
you know far more than you actually do.
The hole in the floor style toilet used to be extremely common in France, E
France and are still fairly widespread. I’m not French but have
used many squat toilets in my travels, once you get the hang of
them they are easy and hygenic.
Dude – now how’s being ignorant? ” …British…Scotland..”
You do know that Scotland is part of Great Britain? Maybe you meant “English and Scottish”
I think he was being a little mean and generalizing too much when he brought up Americans. I mean, does anybody know if Pausest is even American?
Pausest probably knows.
*leaps off the platform, trapeze under bent knees*
*swoops down and, at the bottom of the swing, snatches up Mikey*
*SQUEEEEEZES the moomin*
*puts him back down and trapezes away*
THAT was Extra Special!
lol, Mikey
You couldn’t use the Japanese toilets? How could you possibly not? That’s how humans have shit for tens of thousands of years.
amen sister!
Dude, there is no hole in the floor.
There is no spoon.
Matrix win, teehee.
My aunt had to spend a lot of money to renovate her bathroom my when my grandmother got too old to use a squatting toilet. Obviously whoever did this is too poor for that, so as far as “making do” this is pretty ingenious.
Judging by the state of the floor in this picture, I’d guess that most of the people who have visited this room couldn’t figure out how to use the toilet, either.
Yeah!
I hate squat toilets, this looks like a WIN to me!
No kidding. Way to be idiots.
yes, “americans” (you know, the peoples that have made enlgand our bitch for 200 + years) have rarely seen this type of 3rd world watercloset. in england this would rate as a middle class flat, considered posh by some.
AMEN!
this is brill, having tried to use this style of toilet before and its difficult, i think this is genuis
do u live there or somethin
Butt wrong
It’s an ass*inine toilet
It’s a toilet for Uranus.
.
Just wanted to say it before anyone else, damn that never gets old.
PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
FRY: Oh. What’s it called now?
PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: Urectum.
Urectum? Hell! You nearly killed ‘em.
FRY: No, no, I, I think I’ll just smell around a bit over here. *sniff sniff*
Ah well, not gonna join the USA basher wagon..but yeah that dunny is ooohh..but nothing uncommon about it here where I am out in the stix in China..it’s even better than many!The chair is a functional extension..you can buy these wee potty chairs here to fit over the squats..for those especially physically disabled from getting down low..(not me & I’m glad)& they’re for all types..Chinese included..like I said, it’s functional!
This is a win if you’ve ever gone to an Asian country where the toilets are floor troughs. I would have put some sort of walls around the “drop space”, but if you’ve never had to squat over one of these things, you wouldn’t understand the level of creativity displayed!
I remember being in Morocco, and I had a Diare from another planet, I sat at that kind of toilett all day, Without the chair off course, but this is a good invention actually man:-)
Sad thing is is that this is probobly a home in a poor place.
Its almost not funny
Not in Mother Russia!
Its more like win ;P
i know ewwww
It obviates the need for a plunger.
I wonder how a plumber would fix this?
He’d still charge you $200 to empty the tray.
Should have called Joe the plumber instead.
Mario is much better than Joe!
Luigi is MUCH MORE better than Mario
Yeah, you are right, Luigi always have to save Mario!
And he always gets the girl
Mario? Wich Mario?
The one that stole your ‘h’.
Damn t ieve!
Sieve?
Rico Sieve?
Berieve?
Is that a potato in the tray? I see the curtain got hung.
heeheeeeheee… xD
The vicar needed a toilet like that. Sitting was a little too difficult!
Shoulda gone with a Lazy Boy then. That way you could sit
back, put your feet up…
This is the only thread that made me laugh out loud! It does looks like a patato to me
Why would a plumber need to fix it? It isn’t broken. The “squatting” kind of loo is still widespread in France, although admittedly not usual in people’s houses, and this tenant is obviously uncomfortable and has made a relatively sensible, if amusing, attempt at making him- or herself more comfortable when making him- or herself more comfortable, in a manner of speaking.
Perhaps he was hypothesizing on how it might break? After all, the operator has all the moving parts.
“moving parts” lol!
No, it totally doesn’t. Trust me, I had one of these for 3 years, and I also totally had (and needed) a plunger.
Doesn’t the Pope have one of these?
No, no
It has a cross on the top
That sounds like alot of bull papal.
So, when he uses it, does he make holy water?
Of course he does..?!
So. You been baptized?
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Holy Shit”.
And coined the phrase “Holier than thou shit.”
The Pope shits in the woods.
Therefore, bears are Catholic.
i know, ewwww
authough for france this is a huge hygene step up
Now how about a “cultural-knowledge” step up on your part… Now THAT would be an improvement win!
berg, you don’t understand the rules of the game. It’s ok to make fun of any country except America on failblog. Didn’t you know that?
darn katie-may, me messed up again! just like the time me made fun of sandra-joe and jenny-line!!! geeeez, will i ever learn?
you right not-wrong fella! and me do apologize for any unkind suggestions me might have made.
i sure am sorry for being so un-patriotic in this barack post-dubya of an era. no, i can’t say things like that and i should know better.
right this minute, i think i will do my patriotictest deed ever and try to convince that
66% of us congress members to apply for their first passport! get out there and see the world beyond albuquerque!
wow, 33% of congressmen have passports? That’s a bigger ratio than the rest of America
.
(btw, lol!)
34 honey. make that 34%. no sense in not recognizing their unlimited curiosity
and desire – i do mean desire – to prove that the planet is not flat and stops
puerto rico.
after, i meant after puerto rico darn it!
Darn it?
*Beats up Berg*
HOMO
I think someone needs a *HUG*
*Beats up Jurgen for hate crimes*
it’s the first time i come across someone who signs his comments
“homo”
that says a lot about a person, how they stand-up for who they are…
congrats!
seeing that he signed it HOMO, he’s probably glad you came across him.
Did you say Berg came across a homo? Sounds messy.
I personally wish people would stop using “gay” and “homo” as euphamisms for stupid. With that kind of thinking it’s no wonder that prop 8 and it’s like across the country failed last month. *sigh*
No, it’s not. killerham90 is being an ass just as much as Diego was. killerham90, cut it out. You have no idea how much frustration we’ve gone through over this in the past few days.
One of the things I learned yesterday was that the regulars know when they are being made the butt of a joke & can laugh about it.
In other words, I was just kidding.
killerham is not being an ass, s/he made a joke because toilets like this DO exist in France.
how have i done that?
im british and its my birth right to hate the french
Nah, that’s only if you’re English.
Scotland and France get along fine as they hate the English equally, as do most other countries.
Even the English hate most of the other English if they live more than a street away.
Bloody English, living in my country, taking our jobs.
*puts knotted handkerchief on head and shakes fist in air like Gumby*
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Case in point, I’m British (not English) and I love the French
Not British, but…me toooooooooo!
*nostalgic sigh*
I do love Paris.
Let us dance together down the Champs Elysées by moonlight!
I’ve made it easy for me: I don’t discriminate, I hate everybody.
God, I hate people who hate people!!!
Ugh, hate is such a strong word. I prefer “dislike with great enthusiasm”.
You should see the improvised bidet. It involves a Troy-Bilt power washer, duct tape and a broken patio chair. That’s all I can tell you.
dude, seriously, in vietnam i saw and “improvised bidet”…it was a western toilet with no seat and there was a hose (like the kind on a kitchen sink) coming straight out of the wall and laying in a large bowl of dirty water…not kidding.
also, i would take this “make-shift” Squatty anyday over traditional squatties…i never got the hang of them…nor the thigh strength.
dude seriously…in Vietnam i saw an “improvised bidet”
It was a western toilet and coming out of the wall beside it was a hose/nozzle combo you would find at a kitchen sink…and that was on the floor beside a large bowl with dirty water…no even kidding
I would take this over a traditional squatty any day…i didn’t have the hang of it…or the thigh muscles it took to use it either!
and im stupid because i thought it wouldn’t post the first time…*sigh* IDIOT!
If you are an idiot then we all are. This happens to all of us. I think that the computers are laughing at us.
Well, YOURS might–it’s just a crate with an actual mouse tied to it, right?
*snortgiggle*
Yes and it is kerosene powered.
Not methane?
Hmm. That would be greener. I could utilize the leavings from the mule and gerbils.
Ooh…I had a date like that once.
so damn elegant
toilet to go!
I’m sorry to say this but I’m FIRST !!!!
It is its own punishment, usually.
um…no you weren’t….must be the 56k…lol
You don’t take 5 minutes to post something even with 56k!
Maybe 50bits…
Put the seat down when you’re through.
Yuk. Speaking of sloppy seconds…
That chair doesn’t look very sturdy.
“In the event of water landing, your seat may be used as a flotation device.”
I think I’ll just go down with the plane, thanks anyway.
what a choice! clutching a dirty toilet seat or a “splash” landing…
.
Can I take door #3?
“…and we have a winner! Congratulations, you’ve just won Chocolate.”
woot! chocolate!
*takes a bite*
hey… wait a minute…
You can have dairy products instead, if you like.
Don’t forget to wrap your ankles in toilet paper.
And breath thru your mouth.
That’s a lot of fail for such a small space.
Having had to use these things before – this is actually a WIN
This is an ingenuiy WIN. 3.5 Stars.
*ingenuity
No the first one was correct
i know i would have preferred it to the squatting!! last time I had to squat i dislocated my hip, fell into my own pee and had to call to a stranger to help me up!!! embarrassing much…
(if i was so damn embarrassed, why did I tell all you other strangers of my demise…?)
Well, unless you had incredibly weird/cruel parents, your secret is still relatively safe, ‘Wormulon’.
You died??
Wow…I didn’t realize you could literally die from embarrassment!
Very nice typing for a ghost, though…or…oh no! Are you a zombie?
Gah! Another ghost writer!
*hands Dragonwriter a machete*
(In case zombie is of the fire-proof variety.)
*eyes machete dubiously*
Hmm…maybe I’ll use this cool dragon sword-cane instead!
It doesn’t pay to buck tradition my fire breathing friend. The machete is the weapon de rigueur when it comes to fighting zombies. I can not be held responsible for any dire consequences that might arise should you use another method of dispatch.
But…but…
*looks longingly at sword-cane*
It’s so cool!
But you gotta ask yourself: Do you really want to get it all mucked up with zombie gore? They are such nasty pieces of work.
*looks longingly at dragon sword-cane*
*lower lip trembles just a smidge*
*takes the machete instead*
I was looking into getting a sword cane back when I had knee trouble and looked like a potential victim hobbling around. What I found out is that it is a felony in California to carry one around on your person.
.
It’s getting so a person can’t have any fun at all anymore.
um, what?? i never said i died. silly head!
Agreed 100%!!!
totally, that’s what I’ve been trying yo say!
Actually, having had to deal with living in a country with lots of squat toilets, this is actually pretty damned ingenious. My guess is that some Westerner made this when he moved into an Eastern apartment. I probably would have done the same if my apartment had a squat toilet too.
Interesting. I personally would’ve opted for a trash can or a bukkit over a paint tray, but that’s just me.
Well what most people don’t understand is that the chair is over a toilet, with the appropriate plumbing. The chair just means they don’t have to squat their butt down and perform directly into the hole.
If you don’t hit the hole directly from that height, there are going to be some side-effects.
Which would explain the wall splatter behind the chair?
If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the wall?
Mind the overspray.
Hey, if the bat is too short please step closer to the plate.
but who is gonna clean the paint tray??
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’d rather even have a hole in the ground than something that’s going to make it splatter everywhere when I go….
It’s not a paint tray. There is a hole in the ground that you can’t see from this angle, and everything goes down there. The two raised surfaces are for your feet to stand on while you’re doing your business.
Ha, glad someone thought the same thing as me!
You two aren’t alone…
Had the same tought here also.
(Damn, how I hated these toilets in Greece. But at least, my legs got stronger)
*scene at a Greek bar*
“excuse me guys, I have to go do some squats”
Hey Koubi. Yup. I would have killed for a set up like this on several of my travels!
Then who the chair owner killed?
Perhaps he just prostituted the chair??
Problem Zurak…somewhere there is a perfectly good toilet…with no seat…
I c what you did there.
No they are an South Asian invention. Since most people prefer the squat types many homes don’t have a western style toilet this makes it difficult for invalids (and the nurses taking care of them). The fail is in the pathetic state of the place.
Yup! This is definitely a WIN!!!
I went to rural Laos last year and trust me, I would have swooned with delight to see this contraption in a bathroom. Normally all you get is the hole in the ground. Guys can handle that okay, but it’s really rough on us women. And hell, it even looks like this place has a hose to spray yourself with after you go (since you can’t use toilet paper with this type of toilet). That’s totally high-tech. Most of the toilets I used just had a bucket of water nearby, with a plastic cup floating in it.
You don’t even have to go to *rural Laos* for a hole and a bucket of water nearby with a plastic cup floating in it. Nextime save yourself the trouble and go to any urban South East Asian country to experience the same cultural delights.
You don’t even have to be in *rural Laos* for a hole in the ground and a bucket of water nearby with a plastic cup floating in it. Next time just go to any *urban South East Asian* country to experience the same cultural delights.
Dammit, would’ve needed this thing fifteen years ago when I went to India. Definitely a win!
you mean you had no toilets at all???
Is this the hotel where weekly rapes are available?
If it is, Its now a 4 star hotel
GREAT service but the bathrooms are atroshious
But their wheeechiair ramp is a nice amenity for those physically disabled visitors.
Mind the crocodiles though.
Sorry Volf…rape fantasies, 1 Star
Kind of like you’re spelling of “Atrocious”
I didn’t want to be the one to correct him/her. Thanks.

Hey, my comments reappeared!
Lol…watch out for the punctuation fail.
could be a humor, maybe?
I’m liking the mouthwash and toothpaste on the sink. Would you brush your teeth in there?
Hey! You are asking too much! What do you want next? Water?!
Lol…you do know what the bukkit’s for??
Vomiting?
Yes. Someone please tell the walrus where it is?
So THAT’S where I left them.
I think these are bleach and some sort of disinfectant. Just the 2 things I would use for a shower after being there.
Looks like someone moved in somewhere with a squat toilet, and couldn’t get their heads round it
It’s not a ‘tray’ – have none of you ever seen a squat toilet before?
I haven’t. I know they exist but if I happen to never use one I think I’m okay with that.
No actually…I can’t say I have ever seen a squat toilet in my life. I prefer the porcelain variety thank you very much…
*inserts missing n*
*removes n because it doesn’t belong* what the hell is wrong with me today?
I find it disturbing that you see a toilet and think nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
*inserts missing brain*
Sorry, it was too great to not post.
shit for brains?
Hey, I’ve seen a few of those around here!
Nope.. He isn’t missing any of that..
but the squat (commonly known as turkish toilet) IS made of porcelain…
I’ve had the misfortune to use one of these (without additional chair) in Italy and in Japan (apparently easier to use if you’re wearing a kimono?) Very difficult to use if you’re female and wearing trousers!
the base actually is made out of porcelain, just so you know…
Just hope you never get invited over for dinner andd someone pulls this chair out for you to sit on.
Didn’t someone already make that movie? I remember a scene where everyone is sitting around the table on toilets.. dang I can’t remember what movie that was from.
Koubi is right, that’s not a tray under the chair, it’s a squat toilet. It’s disgusting nonetheless.
He’s actually right. That’s a squat style toilet. Common all over France and Southern Europe. Adding the chair is actually a huge WIN. So much for “cultural-knowledge” on your part.
Not sure about your claims on “cultural-knowledge”.
I have visited France and several Southern Europe countries (I live in one of these) and I would not say these are “common”. I only saw one of these (without chair), and this happened about 15 years ago.
i agree with you loufail. i live in lyon now and i’ve never seen one yet…
and i’ve been here over a year.
I don’t know about it being common in France… I lived there for six years and traveled a lot around the country without ever encountering such a thing. From whence does your “cultural knowledge” come?
I’ve been to France about 10 times and have encountered these toilets at least a handful of times. Just sayin’, they do exist. Guess it depends where you go.
“…where you go”…
*ROFFLE!*
Good one, Loz.
I’m just a comic genius, aren’t I?
They are common for public toilets (more hygenic) but not in homes.
it used to be common enough, at motorway rest stops and that, but i don’t know about nowadays. haven’t seen one in france in years…
Someone help me I don’t see a fail.
look at the screen
If that fails try a mirror.
I’m sorry, I take that back.
*HUG*
Are you feeling better now, Chris?
having issues with “teh huggurs”, are you, urwrong?
don’t fret. You’ll find more mature things to occupy your time, by and by.
So true.
I went to these beautiful hotels and restaurants while I was in China and no matter how “classy” it looked on the outside, the toilets were always these giant, ever-flushing holes and there was NEVER any toilet paper.
*Enter bukkit of water*
oh THERE”s mah bukkit!
I have poopsed in some of these in India. Normally there is not toilet paper, just a bucket of water with which you use your hand to splash your bunghole to clean the poopsies off. (I poops now).
Somehow I knew you’d show up in this thread.
he said “bunghole”…..
…and “poopsies”…..
‘69 in Israel, I was 10 years old, on some Kibbutz, had to pee. Couldn’t read the Hebrew signs, wound up in the men’s room. Definitely a squat toilet, but I’d never seen one before then. I peed in a shower drain, much to the amusement of a guy or two walking through. A hole in the ground was a hole in the ground to me. If one looked big enough to poop in and was all gross, I figured the other must be for pee. And the lovely bucket, that’s why the Koran says you eat with your right hand, the left hand’s for the butt-bucket.
First fail….
WHAT THE F*CK X______@
That’s so vile. Didn’t people invent toilets so they *didn’t* have to squat over the ground any more? And then someone decided, hey, let’s make a toilet that makes you squat over the ground? And some poor guy with bad knees then had to put a chair over it.
oh gods I would puke everywhere. Preferably out the window, though. Fresher.
this is probably from a country where they dont have toilets. I went to China recently, and this (minus the chair) was common.
Okay, I’ll say it. Truth is, it’s actually a more effective posture to evacuate the bowel…(of course, I’m not sure one has to worry about that with McD’s and KFC?).
tks doc!
finally an expert opinion we can trust (no really…)
some women in africa also give birth that way… for the same reasons…
lol @ “some women in africa”. Squat position option is offered as a matter of course in most birthing suites here in Australia. My ex extruded my younger son that way and said afterwards that it was entirely most satisfactory as there’s less pressure on the spine. Less complicated = win. Squat to shit is how we’re built.
…and the rest are hung by the ankles while giving birth, for entirely different reasons.
i need to add that the word bowel always makes me chuckle…
Welcome to Extreme Makeover 4: We no longer give a F***..
Actually, that would be a 3rd world country WIN!
i agree. The hole-in-the-floor “toilet” is an epic fail to begin with, so to modify it in this way to make it more like a real toilet is mos def a WIN!
You people don’t travel a lot, right? That’s a typical toilet in southern European countries and in the Middle East, the chair was probably added for an elderly person that cannot hunker down anymore. In the middle of the toilet there is a hole with a plug. Even though this toilet is quite a filthy example (the elderly person living there probably cannot clean either), the kind of toilet usually is much more hygienic than the western counterpart because you don’t touch any part of it except for the places on the left and right where you put your feet. I feel sorry for the person who had to live in this place and is now ridiculed by a bunch of ignorant people (even though anonymously on both sides).
I agree, squatty potties (properly called a Turkish Toilet) are MUCH more sanitary than a dirty disgusting toilet seat.
When I lived in Eastern Europe I thanked God when I walked into a public restroom and saw one of these. The only part of your body that touches the toilet is the bottom of your shoes which last time I checked are not technically a part of your body so NO part of your body has to come in contact with the toilet! Which by virtue of being a public toilet is dirty. Yay, for sanitary ways to use a public restroom!
This is a serious squatty potty fail, get rid of that grimy chair and use the thing right! (now if this is an elderly person who can’t squat anymore, I feel sorry for him/her, but if this is an accommodation for us Americans then we fail.
i like how the bathmat is even moving away from it…
That’s disgusting. I don’t care if that is France or Japan or wherever. That entire room should be burned to the ground. Squat toilets are fine, whatever makes you happy, but there is no excuse for all the grunge on the wall and the state of that room in general. Anyone who defends this BS is INSANE.
Yes, I think the real fail in this picture is their neglect to clean that wall off afterwards.
I think I’d probably do that if I had to live with a squat toilet.
it amazes me reading through all the posts how people can be so ignorant of other cultures, customs, practices, etc, etc.
This is not necessarily a culture thing, but it is at the same time. In a lot of places in Asia for example, only the hole-in-the-floor toilet is available, with the appropriate plumbing attached…as mentioned by a previous poster. Any college or university I visited or frequented while on my travels around China, Korea and Japan, I discovered this style of toilet.
Is it just the Americans on this site that are *ahem* so up their own ass that they know NOTHING of the REAL world?? Or are there other offenders? Seriously, if you hadn’t heard of the hole-in-the-floor style toilet before, then you should REALLY ask somebody to remove that rock and start looking around you.
There’s 2 things in this world that i can’t stand:
People who are ignorant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch!
why???!??! as much as they love themselves and are into snobbery, they can be a lovely people… you just got to remember not to trust them with any private information or any information about your culture, your countries economic satus, your countries ways of handling bad situations, your family-tree information…..
wait.
i see what you’re saying..

Oh Irony, urwrong is your name.

“It was a joke” is an appropriate response. Playing *boot teh forriner* isn’t.

The only explanation for the degree of your ceaselessness is that you must be awfully young. Maybe around 14? Just asking.

BTW: Wormulon was making his own joke, one which obviously flew way over your head. If the Whoosh bird shits, parrot.

Michael Caine (Austin Powers) reference, ftw.
It’s okay. I got the Austin Powers movie reference.
I’ve heard of them, but I’ve never seen one before. I’m still not sure how it’s supposed to work. It looks like you’d have pretty much strip butt-naked to use it, or else you’d be peeing and pooing on the pants around your ankles. And since when is wiping away poo with your bare hand more sanitary than toilet paper? Ew.
who said this toilet has anything to do with that??
besides, i don’t think they do that besides in cultures where they don’t have money to get paper. there are rumours about saudi but i fail to see the purpose in believing them.
hehe, i said fail.
In muslim countries paper is considered something valuable as the q’ran could be written on it. That’s why the use of paper for wiping your butt is regarded as being wastefulness.
More like, because washing the shit off with water is more hygenic than smearing it over your arse.
(In cultures where people can afford more than paper, i.e. well-off Europeans, they used a bidet i.e. water)
you can write in the dirt.
Just ask Lavinia.

old MST3K reference *wink*
You could have let us think it was original.
I dunno…dishonesty on the internet is strictly forbidden
Whew!
Dilly!! Welcome back. Where’ve you been? I missed you.
It’s a long and dirty story…but I missed you too, canine.
Recall that you mentioned costumes coming back mended with staples? I saw an article the next day that said how the Pacific Northwest Ballet runs the fake snow through an industrial magnet to remove the staples that have fallen off.
Good to have you back.
*rubs tummy*
Wait, what? Why did the snow have staples in it?!
Forgot to mention that it is for the Nutcracker.
Looking at that last comment of mine I see that it doesn’t clear up a thing. Let me try one more time.
The costumes used in the Nutcracker are going to pieces and held together by staples which tend to fall off and get mixed in with the fake snow. For the sake of the performers the fake snow, which costs a god awful amount, is run past a very strong magnet to remove them.
I hope that clears it up. As you can see my brain isn’t functioning well anymore.
That’s exactly what I was wondering, so your brain’s fine. But I don’t get why the costumes are falling apart so badly…we’re a traveling company so ours aren’t taken care of on the road but the ballet should really do something about that…
Hey! It worked! My last four comments were eaten. HaHA, blogmonster!!
You go get ‘im, dilly.
They have been doing this production for 25 years now. A few of the costumes are original, but most have been changed over the years. The ballerinas costumes around the waist take a heck of a beating. They get new snow every four years or so.
Coyote, I cannot explain how, but I understood that. Before you explained it. I think my brain is wired weird.
*raises hand*
Me too also.
*grin*
*raises one eyebrow at Dragon with a bemused look*
It’s true, old dance costumes are the norm for a show only on for a month a year. So I should have guessed.
Dragon this song popped into my head today. I have no idea why.

In chess, “I touch, I adjust”…you use it when you want to touch a piece without moving it from its place, which is not allowed if you don’t say it. Since you can’t go back into your post to put the apostrophe in, I was reminded.
Forget it. I Wikid it. I don’t play much chess. Checkers is more my line. I was, after all, trained as a draughtsman.

Reading all the comments fail.
Also, believing a “c” requires an “an” fail.
Yes We C!
Yes We C!
Yes We C!
Why is it ignorant to state what we feel. Just because its normal overseas doesn’t mean it’s okay to everyone. Calling us ignorant is a complete contradiction. You have your own cultural practices and we can have our opinions. And frankly, you can keep your hole in the floor toilets. The real world??? Whatever.
Must be tough to use ANY kind of toilet with such a huge, self-righteous stick up the ass.
Why is it that when Americans are unaware of some vile, germ-breeding contraption halfway around the world they get labelled as ignorant and insular but when some other place fails to grasp even the most basic concepts of hygiene, it’s revered as culturally significant?
If embracing filthy sh*tholes as personal growth is part of the “REAL world”, then I’ll just keep that rock pulled over me, thank you very much.
Asshat.
To be fair, not every American is privileged enough to be a world traveler like yourself, and have no choice but to miss out on wonderful cultural experiences like shitting in a hole in the ground.
lmao u cant even flush so i guess u have to use a stick for the solids
some of the squatties i used in China were flushable. Others you had to use the bucket of water nearby to pour into it and get your stuff to go down the drain.
oh the stick is for the drain /facepalm
Gotta love those dirty frogs…
Please support PETA!
Poop Extra Tough Anagrams?
Poor Edible Thoughtful Animals?
Having had to use one of those holes before, I can assure you that the seat addition is EPIC win.
i dont even think the little bubbles will do the work for you on this one
HAHA the little bubbles would have to bring a damn army for me to even go near that thing!!!!!
I’ve been to China, and I call this a big win!
And it’s no more “culturally insensitive” than the fact that some Asians stand on the rim of Western toilets rather than use them in the intended fashion.
Are you my wife?
You told me you weren’t married! You philandering Pootle you! *sniffle*
I wasn’t then. I must have got married at some point in the mean-time?
And I’ve just realised the perfect Scrubs quote to use on the Dairy fail, I was going to put it here as an excuse.
You’re an inspiration. Gotta dash and try be funny.
Love you, byebye.
*pootles off*
true……!!!! & how some foreigners in China insist on flushing down the loo paper & wonder why they get poo poo regurgatated all through the bathroom..put da paper in da bucket…pleeeze!
Squatty potty WIN! I would’ve killed for one of these in China! The only thing “fail” about this picture is that someone seriously needs to clean the wall and floor. It may be, though, that whoever lives here needs the chair because they are disabled and therefore they are also unable to get down there to clean it properly. Unfortunately there are a great many elderly and disabled people in the world who live in squalor because they are unable to clean after themselves properly and have no money to hire someone and no family or friends to help out. Very sad.
Well, somebody was able to hold the camera. Shoulda cleaned the place up, instead.
hmm its not a fail actually, if you ever had been in a remote/old city in italy, you’d recon that its normal there to have such a basin in the floor.
only the chair fails, thats unusual.
apple pie anyone?
That’s a win !!!
no one for apple pie?
*throws apple pie at the toilet*
Sorry, I’m allergic to apples. Damn fine cherry pie with coffee as black as a moonlit night is always appreciated though.
Especially at the Double R Diner, they make the best.

I wouldn’t call that a toilet fail; I’d call it an innovation win!

I would call that a WIN. ever tried using one of those squat toilets the right way? I think the chair is brilliant
I think it’s hilarious how every single comment thread, even in totally irrelevant Youtube videos, always somehow lead to racism.

What’s the big deal? It is an ‘eastern’ toilet with an improvised seat. In much of the floor into the plumbing system that you squat over – no flushing to do – and you rinse with water (I think you can see the hose on the left there)- hence the mold on the back wall. Yes, this particular one is not very sanitary – but is a real working bathroom. The improvised seats are often made for the elderly because the squatting can be hard if you’re sick or old.
A little late to the parade aren’t you?
aren’t you?
Better than anything I’ve seen in China. There was shit on the walls, crap covered sticks nearby and rolls of dirty toilet paper. If you looked down far enough, you can see the remnants of other people’s “business”. Oh yeah, it stank worse than anything in the world.
I had to pay to go to that shit hole.

This would explain why it’s an insult to throw shoes at people.
Love the comments about this being dirty, I have seen so many disgusting “western style” toilets now that what Im seeing looks totally hygenic in comparison.
Also by Chinese standards this squat is rather clean, some of the public squats in the outer regions of Beijing would make the average westerner puke as they are so badly maintained by the local corrupt officials (who have embezzled the money normally spent to keep the public toilet clean).
and then the envirolet composting toiled add to the right. coincidence?
hmm… reminds me of the really really old houses and rural housing I’ve seen. Except for the fact that they have proper toilet bowls but no flush, you have to pour a bucket of water when you’re done.
No thanks. Anpu prefers it if I bring my own facilities. *brings out pickle jar filled with mysterious yellow liquid*
Bacteria Win?
Geeze I need a pee right now..here in da middle of the wops in China..I always thank my kung fu insytructor for all the 1000’s of squats we do in training..no worries..I don’t need a ‘potty’ chair..yet!!
Poop tray win.
No one has ever written or said the above statement in the history of mankind.
Avant garde win!
Chicks, word of advice when u use a squat..don’t do a full on horse piss ..pee slowly ..otherwise it shoots to da left or da right & u pee on ya own ankle!
I pay good money to see Pee on Chicks.
lol
smart fella
Indeed. I don’t know why they chose to write in idiom though..
I like to poo, would prefer a hole in the ground to that, but if its the only choice what are you going to do? Hold it in? I know of a vicar who has a good method of faecal contraception, but its a bit of cruelty to potatoes if you ass me.
Come to Africa, we all shit in the bushes while the lions are asleep.
When I went to China I’d never seen nor used anything of this sort before, it stunk and I wasnt to sure about the ‘comfort’ aspect, but i’ll tell you the secret to using them…Just do it…it really isnt that hard.
Lol, that’s what I call a MEGAwin!!!
Thank you very much for blaming the French, the Chinese and other countries. But the name of the subscriber is a deformed version of Constantin, a Romanian name, so I suppose is an eastern-European toilet. Sadly, they still exist, because they are considered to be more hygienic than the “normal” ones.
That’s Toilet WIN!
In France (and some other countries too) toilets are just what we can see on the picture (without the chair of course).
So, let’s build a toilet chair FOR TEH WIN!
OMFG you guys are ALL retarded.
Its a shower, not a toilet.
FAILBLOG FAILS.
…
Do you know what toilets look like in Europe/Asia?
And if it’s a “Shower” where’s the shower head?
My point is valid.
i don’t get what’s so wrong about this. face it, most people in the world have toilets like that. some people in the world don’t even have a tiolet. They freaking do it to the ground. india, fo. ex. so yeah, it’s not sanitary but i’d say that toilet = mcdonals. a chair like that is a very good idea, otherwise you’d have to get totally to the ground, and wouldn’t that suck more? some people don’t have lives like you or me people jeez, you’re being melodramatic.
Actually, this is quite clever. Rather than forcing yourself to stand up, there’s a chair with a toilet seat that can be cleaned. Win.
ha ha ok see i thought the fail was the yellow shower curtain that wouldn’t cover your business, just your neck and face. then i realized the curtain is on the window. Privacy win? that restroom feels, um, public to me.
not fail but win
lifehack!
Why fail?? It makes it much easier sitting on that chair, rather than without the chair in the same position for up to 10 minutes. You’ll be in so much pain without the chair.
Probably Romania, right KOSTIKA?
That’s a squatter. Fairly common outside the US. American ignorance fail.
wow… amazing how you people are able to make a picture of a dirty toilet about america asia and afrika? i seriously think bush has made you people blind that toilet is dirty but what does that have to do with the nations? i think and this is my opinion : u people need to remove the anal dildo from the seat your sitting on. and please turn off cnn after 40 hours of non stop watching? go out get drunk do something else?
Anyone who’s been to a third world country knows that’s totally a win! I’d be excited to see that in one of the toilets
The bucket is probably for taking bucket showers, you use a cup to pour the water over yourselves.
Lawls.
That reminds me of my first apartment — I think that it looks a little more stable than my old toilet though.
Rednecks ftw!
<3
Firstly, I hope the hole in the chair is directly over the hole in the ground. Secondly I hope the user of this device is not to fidgety. Thirdly, I hope there is not a draught somewhere under the chair.
poor people might not be able to afford shitbowls. get over it
In the barracks of the soviet army in eastern germany these “cower-toilets” have been quite usual. In case that german comrades were on a visit they had the commode-chairs to simulate usual toiltes.
winner imo
This is a win
dear me. i’ve seen the whole in the floor, but the chair/toilet is certainly quite an addition
there is no need to take offense to “the whole in the floor”- it’s a fact of life that many (key word “many” not “all”) Westerners are grossed out by the concept of the whole in the floor. other than that, it serves the purpose fine.
FAIL.
Tolko u nashih
this is just normal in france!!
WHAT’S SO WRONG ABOUT THIS??? Have any of you ever even TRIED to use a TURKISH BATHROOM??
the VIP toilet for westerners in a muslim country
so so wrong
This looks like a WIN to me… ever try to use one of these suckers? Genius.
That’s brillant !
Easy!
Looks like ghetto went to extremes.
WTF were they thinking?
holy f**k thats messed up
this is actually a win if you’ve ever been to Turkey…..
Well it’s obvious the curtain is way too short! HAHAHA!!!
nice toilet LOLz!!!
When you think of a bathroom faucet, you think of one thing – function. Your bathroom faucet is there to bring water to your sink so you can wash your hands, brush your teeth, etc. But today, bathroom faucet manufacturers are focusing on form as well as function.
thats not a carpet on the ground, thats mold
