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.
