Title: international bathroom habits
Post by: Reier on May 05, 2015, 01:22:22 AM
i've heard the first step to overcoming PTSD is to share it


so i went to Jordan last summer through my college and it was pretty dandy except GOOD NIGHT THE TOILETS.

i know i may be a bit ingrained in my heathen US habits of anal expulsion but that was six weeks that will be permanently ingrained in my memory. Bear with me.

----
I walked out of the airport with a fresh outlook on life. Six weeks in a new country. What would lay before me? I breathed in the fresh dry air of the middle east and hopped on the bus to the hotel. We spent the night. All was well and good. The next morning our group gathered to have a meeting, briefing us on the customs of the Arabs. Then we got to the toilets.

(almost as nasty as what naryar uses on a daily basis)

This ground-level porcelain satanic altar is at the pinnacle of Jordanian toilet innovation. take note of the fine, luxurious, perfectly sculpted foot grips. Gaze in awestruck wonder at the complete lack of all plumbing whatsoever. Truly minimalistic. Malevich would be proud.

who am i kidding THESE THINGS SUCKED BALLS

okay so for starters I am American and thus am used to cans like this


The first thing you need to get used to is you don't get the luxury of sitting. OH NO YOU HAVE TO BE HARDCORE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE LEG MUSCLES COMPARABLE TO A WILDEBEAST YOU BETTER SUFFER IN SILENCE BECAUSE BUDDY, THIS AIN'T NO KIDDY RIDE. and you BETTER have friggin GOOD AIM TOO because this is a first shot thing. You don't wanna be goin for round two with this boxer if you miss your right hook (if you get my drift).
so just the thought of this neolithic display may have you in a catatonic state but oh no we aren't done yet. notice the complete lack of any plumbing for a roughly square mile radius. just kidding I lied. you get a hose with a bucket to perform the exorcism with. and this is a super arid country so water isn't plentiful so you use the BARE MINIMUM. and these things overflowed more than my heart upon escape from the stall of horrors.
oh, but Reier, you forgot the joys of wiping! FOOOOOOL YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT WITHOUT THIS MENTAL IMAGE
you don't have one bucket in the stall. you have two. jordanian toilets don't have effective plumbing. take a shot in the dark what the second bucket is for.
oh and by the way jordanian restrooms dont have TP either. you need to have a veritable fort knox of paper bullion on you AT ALL TIMES
factor in this flawless experience with dietary issues relating to your body adjusting to the new food and lemme tell you i was in this room way more than any human has the right to be.


COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS MY BRETHREN. By the way, you are not allowed to wipe with your right hand in Muslim countries. apparently it's unclean. YOU KNOW, UNLIKE


dang the Jordanians have strong legs.

TP is about as rare as caviar in Jordan
and not a sufficient dietary supplement, also like caviar

That's why you can't wipe with your right hand, most of them don't use any toilet paper.  Left hand=sh** hand

It reminds me of some french public toilets.

note that french PRIVATE toilets are very clean and fine.

Also I think this is something to piss in, not to sh** in...

Get a chair, cut a hole in the middle, and use that. That should help. Packing with it might be an issue though.

I have to say that OP have no manliness at all, as all the schools in glorious lands of post-soviet-countries have such toilets for years. Even the smallest kid could and still may handle that in this cruel communist world.

wiping your ass with your hand definitely sucks, but those toilets look nice to poop in. Like 09 said, our bodies are designed to sh** in the squatting position in fields you just gotta open up those hip flexors, reier, looks comfy.

on the flip side, whenever the Jordanians had to use US-style toilets they absolutely could not handle them either. They tried to squat on the rim or something. It's just what you grew up with.
also more proof that communism sux

It wasn't the squatting that was the problem necessarily, it was more the lack of plumbing that drove me nuts. And if you had like a pack of kleenexes on you you were set, I never used my hand
and the position wasnt bad either, its just the aim required and more the lack of knee strength I had for that kind of stress. I needed a handle to balance myself sometimes.  It's way more strenuous than it looks if you've never done it before

Dem toilets look like some of the ones in Hong Kong. I was horrified that one must kneel down to do their bizniz. But at least those "toilets" had toilet paper.
