Tangentially related, but my first night of my first (adult) visit to India, I saw a man pissing on a wall on which was painted, “DO NOT URINATE ON THIS WALL.” It was simply unforgettable!
Also yeah, I’ve shat in holes in the ground in India. Some covered with porcelain and equipped with plumbing, some not.
And recently, in Paris, I went to the bathroom in a bar and found that they had a friggin hole in the ground toilet too! What country am I in again?? I was so confused. I was informed that they are known as “toilettes turques” here O_o
And finally, talk about first world problems, but on the day of Gay Pride in Paris last month I was pretty laden down with beer, and bought an expensive soda at a cafe just so I could use their bathroom. (There are public coin operated toilets on the streets here but I have horror of them.) Ok, this soda cost about $5, so I figured I deserved to use their damn toilet. But when I went downstairs in this fancy café on the Boulevard St. Germain, it turned out their bathrooms were also coin operated! WTF. But I gamed the system with some other people who had come in from Pride by holding the doors open for each other :D
