Weird Foreign Toilet Thread

[Ryan Timothy B]

But edge it over a bit to open up some space?  No way!  Peeing right next to another dude would just be too weird!

I'd like to wager that it's poorly planned blueprints and a plumber who either has a sick sense of humor by plumbing in the urinal regardless of the error, or is dumb as shit and abides by the prints faithfully.

Edit: My brother is a framer who builds houses, and he has mentioned of numerous occasions where plans are so messed up that inside doors wouldn't fully open due to hitting a wall, or staircases that would only have a few feet of head clearance if he completely followed the plans. Luckily for his builders, he isn't that dumb or crude.

I also have to say this is my favorite thread!

I just remembered this funny moment from An Idiot Abroad - the China episode.

Karl Pilkington (a.k.a. the idiot abroad) visits a Chinese public toilet.

And for those who can't access Youtube (e.g. People's Republic of China): http://www.mediafire.com/watch/jkd0f8luzxf7f2i/An_idiot_abroad_-_Toilets_in_China.mp4

I am familiar with the squat toilets in Beijing, but don't recall seeing any stalls without a door! Karl must just be lucky.

Open up!

[Stupot]

Bollocks, sorry, cocked up my posting. Ignore this post..

[Stupot]

The world needs to Weird Foreign Toilet thread now more than ever.

This is probably from one of those "high-density" countries where space is at a premium....

That toilet would be perfect on a 3-legged pub-crawl!

[Baron]

Open up!

Don't make it laugh or it blows piss out its nose.

[Ghost]

It looks like you flush this by pressing the gem on his forehead.
Please tell me it IS so. If we can somehow turn that into a Pawlow's Reflex, hilarity WILL ensue.

[Baron]

Is Pawlow Pavlov?  I guess that makes sense....  So, whenever you ring a bell the toilet dude salivates (thereby flushing)?  This hilarity requires slightly more explanation, my good Ghost. 

[Ghost]

This hilarity requires slightly more explanation, my good Ghost. 

Well, let's assume there are many of these toilets.
And you need to press that jewel on the guy's forehead in order to flush.
Cue people learning from the ground up that, when you see a guy with a jewel on his forehead, you MUST PRESS IT.
Hilarity ENSUES.

I should stop posting at 4 am. My brain's not really up to the task anymore.

I would always line up for the shocked face.

[Baron]

I'm more of a measuring tape kind of guy myself....


Check out this Australian urinal:

Australian sharks pee from their mouth...

[Ghost]

Why GARGOYLES hate their job.


The cafe where you get the best of both worlds...


...and where you're served with STYLE.

[Stupot]

That reminded me, one of the pubs in my former village has you pissing into the bell of a tuba.

Gurok: Look what's happening in your country. Why didn't you know of this one already? What the fuck are you doing, for the sake of God, dude?

Here's a little contribution of mine. I don't know its whereabouts but it does seem useful:


Also, this image perfectly describes the "rent-a-toilet" scenario in Pakistan. I'd say the photo is outdated, since they are charging 10 times more now! But it's still true, nevertheless.


Can you guess what does "long" and "short" toilet mean?

[Baron]

The long toilet is for distance shooters, the short one for speed gushing?

Here's a creative and convenient TP hanging idea.  Well, convenient so long as you aren't using the toilet for "short" purposes.

[Tabata]

World is indeed sooo unfair   


click it for the news about those

[Atelier]

Here's a creative and convenient TP hanging idea.

Hmm... another flaw is, it's not hard to imagine some circumstances where you don't know how much paper is "live", ie how many sheets you'll rip off. If the live section is hanging vertically without any user support, any subsequent user input may cause another unwanted sheet to dispense into the live section. Industry experts have known about this problem for years.

Edit: more importantly, why is he sitting there with his trousers on?

[Baron]

Why can they think up an awesome idea like touchscreen technology over a urinal, but not wall mounted hand-sanitizer next to it?

Those "jeans" are actually ass-less chaps: PM Ponch for details.

Could have alternatively gone in the 'mug shots' thread.
