American toilets gave me culture shock
They’re so shallow that you can’t even sit down without your balls touching the bowl or the water
I think you might want to get your balls looked at.
Which will be easy to do, considering they're dangling out of his pant legs
Are you proposing something?
How you doin'?
We all do.
I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.
On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn't splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes "timber".
I’ve always known that our stall walls in the US were shit, but then I visited Sweden and saw how truly horrible we were.
Over there, there are no men’s rooms or women’s rooms. There are just several doors each to a private bathroom and so it doesn’t matter who uses which one.
I’m sure our “single room with flimsy stall dividers” design is the cheapest, plus it’s not as convenient for all the drug addicts and homeless people our society creates, so it will never change.
I think you mean high stall walls and not low. You're talking about the huge gap so the janitors can sweep and mop easier.
No, I meant that I literally could see people taking a shit when walking in the restrooms at several places, because the walls were just ~180cm high (and I am taller than 180cm).
I've never seen stall walls that short but usually when I'm sitting, I would not be able to see over it. Generally the giant gaps between panels are enough to let someone see you from the door.
You got long balls, Larry.
