i wonder how dropping conch shells in the toilet is better practice
Not sure those are conch shells, but full rolls of toilet paper? Even so…you have to think the only reason this sign is here is because SOMEONE DID THIS…and hurt himself…
if you ever go to the middle or far east, this is how they use toilets. it is not a method that favors western style toilets, though, since their toilets are almost completely on the ground, and they just squat. but it is considered really gross that we actually sit on the toilet while we do our business. they just squat above.
*sigh*
Here we go again…
Not just the middle east etc, in many countries including so called “westernised/ Developed countries” It is healthier.
They also bin the paper rather than flush it, because a) in their long drops it will not decompose in the same way, b) their sewer systems are not equipped to deal with paper and c) in sewerage plants they do not have to remove waste paper and other unsavoury items shortening the time needed to sanitise the water.
Are you sure this water’s sanitary? It looks questionable to me!
It may be a little unsavory, but thems the breaks.
*shrugs*
A PIRANHA!!!
But what about bacteria?
Same processes as we use, the main one of which is to leave the sun to do the job for us.
*swings in on vine*
*swoops K@ up into tree*
And it’s easier to poop when you squat like that.
I can’t squat and poop. I’ve tried – can’t do it.
Umm….the waste treatment plants have to remove tons of human fecal matter every day, and yet toilet paper is somehow ‘unsavory?’ Compared to what?
I’ve dealt with these ’3rd world toilets,’ and they’re infinitely more disgusting than normal toilets. Healthier? Don’t make me laugh. People would miss the target more often than a WWII nighttime bombing run, and the can full of poo-stained TP nearby is enough to make a fecophiliac retch. Compared to that, a porta-potty or a hole in the ground next to a leafy tree are far more inviting.
In Iraq we’d quickly learned to padlock our porta-potties so the ignorant locals wouldn’t go in and leave smelly footprints on the seats.
Tampons.
was it very painful?
I thought they were fat birds flying out of the toilet. Damn turd birds. You’re supposed to trap them with a roll of toilet paper. I think I’ll just hold it and go at home.
They’re leaves – guess they ran out of TP for the WC.
i want TP for my bunghole!!!! I’m the great cornholio!!!
If you put that conch shell to you r ear you won’t hear the sea!
no, but if you twist just right you can call Poseidon
Holy sh** really?…
-.-
I had a girlfriend that had a conch shell tatoo on her inner thigh. If you put your ear to it you could smell the ocean.
I bet it was on the front part of her inner thigh, if it was in the back part, you could’ve smelled the water sanitation facility
POOPIN DROOPIN
Whacks on, whacks off?
No diving?
No Mermaids?
No I had them trained very well, thank you!
Ah, it must mean No Superhero take offs then.
No cape, no service.
“Trust me, dahling… NO CAPE!” – E. Mode
No tadpoles. *nod*
No toadstools. *Dips*
But I’m going to a dive shop after work!
You would have to be extremely fit to have good aim.
Well there are some people that do ”sit” like that. I know from the shoe marks on the seats all the time at university… The sign is not that dumb :/
Exactly. “Hoverers” make a huge amount of mess.
People from those countries hovering is the strangest idea to me, seeing as how many of them have some of the spiciest foods…
Is it Thursday today?
*looks hopeful*
*looks at calendar*
Why yes, yes it is…..
Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
*commandos*
Do we do anything with our underwear? Or just throw them in the laundry bin?
Put them in the laundry bin, ready for counselling.
Leila has made it a habit of throwing them at me when I do one of my descriptions. She has no idea what I’m doing with them, though.
omgz. That just excited me. I thought it was wednesday for a second :/
Weekday fail.
All day.
We should have Thrursdays every day … sorta … kinda.
Nope. Saturdays. Every day.
I could never get the hang of Thursdays.
Yes, yes it is.
fail
I’ll be right back guys, I need to drop a deuce
*looks at sign*
awwwww, *snap*
Wasn’t there a fail similar to this just a few posts back? Failblog fails again.
Oh, and not a fail. In some places this sign is necessary.
if this s**t is so old, POST YOUR OWN S**T, AND GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS TO DO SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wow… chill.
I didn’t say it was old, I said there was a similar post just a few back… as in, too close together.
And if my opinion bothers you THAT much… maybe you need to find something else to do.
Oh, I get it.
This way in. Not an exit.
Why is this a fail?
Why is it that 50% of the most recent fails are questionable fails?
What is going on?
*shrugs* I dunno. I was hoping you could tell us.
*waits patiently to be informed*
I think the problem is that there’s only so much the world can fail at. Once you reach a critical peak, there can be no more fails that we haven’t seen before … and failblog has to resort to simply reaching (as evidenced by the slew of fails which are just that. Reaches.)
This site ought to be retitled “ReachBlog”.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. When I look over the early posts on this site, most of them are much better than most of the recent ones. I figure they’ve simply run out of good material.
Toilit paper goes in toilit, don’t poop in water tank?
Seriously who needs those directions?
Your minions, obviously. I’ve seen the mess in there.
Nawt pretty.
You think that’s bad go look in their bedrooms.
You’ll never be the same.
Methinks you need new minions.
…and his minions mispelled toilet twice.
good help is hard to find these days
They’re nearly mindless obediant slaves, who will happily die for my slightest whim… anyone know a good maid?
WHAT!!!!
I already do the all the finances, and now you want me to be a maid too!!!
Don’t poop ON the top of the water tank.
It’s known as an “Upper Decker”.
Used toilet paper goes in toilet. Do not use like a squat toilet.
I don’t have good enough balence to use an american toilet like a squat toilet.
You ever tried to do your buisness in 90lbs of plate armor? It’s tough enough to go normaly.
Pictures or it did not happen!
I thought it meant make ALL deposits in the toilet and NO UPERDECKING
Where are all these toilet sign fails coming from? A certain town full of retards that don’t know how to use a toilet?
Yeah, that town is called ‘the entire 3rd world.’
This fail reminded me of McGruber.
Am I the only one that noticed this is directed at the somalians? Because they wont sit on the toilets, and they use a lot of toilet paper that goes all over. There should be another one about washing their feet in the sinks.
This one time, I saw someone wrap a toilet in toilet paper – literally the entire commode was wrapped. The next day, a sign posted presumably by the custodian said something to the effect that doing that wasn’t necessary and that people ought to clean up after themselves.
That would have been a good submission for failblog.
Duh! This sign is from the future – didn’t anyone see that horrible movie Demolition Man?
I’m still not certain how to use the three seashells. I’ll wash my hands twice, just in case I do it wrong.
More like cultural awareness fail.
I think the same! FAIL!
This is not a Fail. Just a cultural difference, so a necessary sign. Fail Blog fails, and need to get out more.
When I stopped in the ladies room in the airport in Amsterdam, I was sickened by one stall that had feces all over the seat. Not just partially in the bowl or sitting in the rim, but ALL over the seat. Smeared. It was hard for me to imagine who would do that, as a ME or others who are used to squatting would know that something was not right there.
Not allowed to blast off from the toilet.
It’s no use standing on the seat,
our crabs can JUMP 10 FEET!!!
Thank to K@ the Custard Fairy, I now comprehend the purpose of this sign and it’s not entirely fail. I do wonder if someone added the spray of liquid feces to the figure, or if it was printed that way, though.
Unfortunately we found it necessary to do something like this where I work. We had so many new employees from overseas who had no idea how to use a western style toilet that they would frequently ‘decorate’ the whole area from a great height. When you’ve only ever used a squat-style toilet before that’s what happens.
For the love of money Fail Blog, for the last time, LISTEN.
In many countries, including many first world countries, it is fairly common place to use squat toilets, especially public toilets. It is more hygienic and healthy.
Therefore in areas with a large immigrant population or a lot of overseas visitors these kinds of signs are necessary.
Equally in many countries toilet paper is disposed of in a bin rather than down the toilet.
These signs are not fails. The fail comes from the person who is so narrow minded as to think that the only way to go to the toilet is the way that they do.
…and yet I wouldn’t sit down on their squat toilet. ;P
Please. Sit-down toilets are infinitely better than squatters. Anyone who’s had to use both can attest to that. It’s not a cultural thing; it’s a fail – the entire 3rd world (and whichever moronic developed countries that still use these) failing for taking such disgusting dumps. “Bombs away!…whoops, missed again.”
I too have used both.
I would rather use a sit down toilet.
However that doesn’t mean that the sign, or anyone doing something differently to how you do, is a fail.
….*adds point*
When we say more healthy we mean: The bowels empty more completely meaning lower risk of colonic/ intestinal issues caused by further rotting of food which should have been ejected as waste, in the more natural stance used in a squat toilet.
Including cancers (bowel and prostate), ulcers, cysts, tears etc etc.
Quite, human being evolved to empty their bowels squatting.
The idea of sitting is only, say 700 years old, compare that to several million years of humans squatting. Which is more natural?
If you don’t believe in evolution, do you think Jesus had a flush sit down toilet? Or Moses?
Nope, both squatters.
i dont care how you shat, just stay away from my bathrooms though *shakes fist* Besides, back in the days of Jesus the average life span was shorter, currently is around 75. its a little thing humans like to call micro-evolution, so “naturally” can change. some people in one life time can change their mitochondria to be able to walk bear foot in snow and not freeze their feet or get frost bite, and some people dont need sunscreen and dont burn unless they wait for hours.
so its perfectly natural shatting position whether you sit or squat, as long as you always do it the same way, that’s your natural way of shatting.
I am an electrician in Wisconsin. One project that I was on was a hotel in Milwaukee. The drywall installers that the general contractor hired didn’t speak a word of english and befouled the port-o-potties pretty bad. There would be poo all over the toilet seat. My guess is that they would climb up on the bench that the seat was on and drop anchor from a few feet up. It would have been a fantastic courtesy for them to lift the seat first. The worst is when it is dark outside and you have to make a twosie. Be sure to bring a flashlight into the john with you, lest you cover yourself with fresh smeared excrement.
Another terrible habit of these particular Mexican drywallers was to not even walk downstairs for a number one. Instead, they would whiz into a water bottle, screw on the lid, and leave it for someone else to pick up. I came this close to putting one of these bottles in their microwave, setting it for a half hour and walking away.
The moral of the story is that if you are going to duke like a savage beast, at least put the lid up. That is all.
I am jelous of the toliet. I wish I was there mouth open waiting for those delicious corn laden poopies to splash in my mouth!
Well remember what westerners do in their toilets?
http://failblog.org/2008/12/16/toilet-fail-2/
No, no, the sign clearly means “no diving while the lid is up.”
reminds me of this classic family guy clip:
I can`t see this how this is a fail, though the first picture is a little odd.
As many people have already pointed out, a lot of countries still use squat toilets. Not just 3rd world countries, like some people can`t seem to realize.
In Japan, a great many of the older buildings, parks and stations have squat toilets. Now a lot of newer buildings have western toilets, but even some places still keep both.
It is horrible, however, when people s**t on the seats, like others have mentioned seeing. Gross!
Ahh the three shells (Demolition man if not mentioned already)
the sad thing is the standing on toilet thing has occasionally happened at my Dad’s workplace
They do this because people squat on the western style toilets and on occasion the toilet actually breaks. I thought it was funny at first, but anyone that has used a non-Western toilet, you can understand why the morons did what they did.
I actually saw some gross pictures of a woman almost cut in half after the toilet she was standing on, broke, and falling on the broken porcelain
Why is this a “fail?” It should be a win – for those of use working with coworkers from foreign countries where they DO stand on toilets…
No joke, wiping foot-prints off a toilet seat before using it gets really annoying.
ha ha im just trying to figure out what it is that the sign is telling me to do. am i supposed to drop all of my sun chips in the toilet? and then im not supposed to get up and dance on the toilet? that doesnt sound like a toilet to me. i dance on all of my toilets. lol
