Do you use water in any way to clear the mud?
Or do you use nothing but pathetic toilet paper?
Who wipes with only toilet paper and not wet wipes? Does that really happen?

Odd question: if you're on a bidet, what is to prevent the water stream from shooting you in the nuts and causing extreme pain or injury?

Along with the crappy toilets, the cheap arse construction for public stalls where there is an inch gap between the door and locking panel. You can pretty much eye contact with someone while taking a shite. My Brit and Euro coworkers pretty much declare our restrooms third world.

I guess at least we aren't China.

Because, if our toilets squirted water,Mexicans would always be in there filling their water bottles. It would be a fricking traffic jam at all times

I'm currently sitting on a heated and soft toilet seat in Tokyo that played a cheerful little tune and obligingly opened its lid for me when I closed the feng shui wooden door.


Nice cultural misappropriation. I guess you think THEY all look the same too?

Last year we were in Japan at a touristy spot, asked a lady in a small group to take our photo. After, I prompted my 3 y/o to say thank you in Japanese. The lady smiled kindly and said, "we are Chinese." Could not retreat fast enough.

The one time I went to Japan, you basically had to squat and shite into a hole in the floor.

I just shite into the bathtub, and left the aftermath to the little hirohitos to clean up.

It's a bidet, not a fireman hose.

My experience was similar to this, only I paid a woman money to let me shite into her mouth.

Combine with the squatty potty for the ultimate in a shitty experience.

Awesome post. Thought provoking. We act like we invented fire with freaking wet wipes.
