at least with squat toilets you don’t have to touch anything. if you actually have to sit down, that’s nasty. i love the pix of people actually using them. wonder what they were thinking about the photographer?
Some of these remind me of the toilets I had to use (out of sheer necessity!) in Russia back in 1990. One public restroom was one of those oval bowls in the floor. It was one of the most horrifying restrooms I ever saw. On par with some of the bleaker ones in your video.
There was also was a concrete restroom on on the side of the road (one of the very few public restrooms I ever saw by the roadside) where it was concrete stalls with a hole in a concrete bench over open ground and behind a wall in a separate walled-off area was, inside of the restroom, a dead tree and all this sawdust all over the ground. The sawdust went up to half the height of this sectioned off room. To this day, no Russian has ever explained what the tree and sawdust was for. They mostly look away and refuse to answer. WHAT IS IT WITH THE TREE AND SAWDUST??? But what really made this restroom revulsive, on top of the open pit raw sewage and the smell, was several sets of those brown three fingers mark all over the stall walls. Remember, communist Russia…toilet paper or lack there of. *Shudder*
I often found the best restrooms were where you pulled over to the side of a road, stripped some leaves off a tree and went behind a bush – no stink, no horror, no visuals to contend with. Except that one time near dusk when I was drunk and wandered through the patch of stinging nettles. At least I didn’t use the nettles, though the mosquitoes – which gives the Tennessee state bird a run for it’s money, did a fine job of eating me alive the 10 seconds I had my pants down. The welts from their bites…
Lmao Liz, i bet you even don’t know how to use the two shells, do you?!
The real problem i see is that they don’t have any Readers Digest or Playboy there!!!
