My goodness.. disturbing.. :brows: I've never thought so much about bathroom habits in my life..

[wackycashew]

PPF, what are you talking about? i thought that you thought about them all the time... :brows: don't you? :rolleyes:

haha jay_lover_4lyf, this was funny. =) do people really think that much when it comes to defecation and urination? :? the terminologies used were interesting, too. heehee...

[vunsin]

Haha... Interesting. But this I find disturbing: "At home, do you usually poop with the bathroom door open when somebody else is around?" Why would anyone do that?!

[wackycashew]

haha vunsin... i guess there are some open concept families out there... :D

[en_en]

lol...interesting. its nice to know what other people do. oO lol.

[Jo]

nopph you surprise me everytime

i seriously thought that excretory idealisms dominated your four-course meal of each passing day

well, takes a nopph to get us all spiffed up!

wait, i meant surprised!

[cici bebe]

I feel like I've shamed you all.. must go study more bathroom habits and perhaps conduct a small experimental survey myself.. :brows: :twisted:


vunsin: :blush: I put "sometimes" for that question. hahah.. well in our bathrooms, it's pretty big so you can't really see anything if the door IS a lil open.. erh.. alright.. heh..


(btw jo i love that song by dido in your sig)

[JianDan[Ai]]

that is some nasty stuff that i never want to think about again -_____-;;

someone really had too much time on their hands and wrote that =/

[vunsin]

vunsin: :blush: I put "sometimes" for that question. hahah.. well in our bathrooms, it's pretty big so you can't really see anything if the door IS a lil open.. erh.. alright.. heh..

Ah... That's not the point. :? Wouldn't anybody mind the, ah, smell? And what if somebody walk in unknowingly? :crazy:

[jubie]

HEHEHEHEHEHEEHEH....that survey was great....

[babyxv]

WOW it really made me think... WHY would anyone have the toilet paper hanging from around the BACK? it should be around the front! rah! hahha. and who lights a match after going to the bathroom? o_O

[wackycashew]

haha vicky... i prefer the toilet paper hanging from the front, too. i thought it was natural... until one of my friends told me that he prefers to have it hang from around the back. the lighting a match thing in the bathroom reminds me of movie scenes.

[babyxv]

But see.. isn't it harder to tear off the toilet paper if it's hanging from the back? Whenever I'm at a public restroom or someone's house and the toilet paper is hanging from the back, I have the urge to adjust it. haha that's kind of sad.

Why does the match thing in the bathroom remind you of movie scenes? o_o

[wackycashew]

yeah, that's what i thought, too... well, people have different preferences, i suppose.

i don't know... just have a picture of someone lighting up a match in the bathroom when he/she is on the run... either being scared to death or afraid to be caught. it's usually lighting up a match or using a lighter to light a cigarette. probably pacing back and forth nervously. and the bathroom is a hideout? so, the door would be shut and the person will have a smoke while pacing or just sliding down the door to sit down to try to calm himself/herself down.

[vunsin]

Geez... Even if I were in hiding I wouldn't hide in the restroom, especially not a public one!

About the toilet paper, I prefer mine hanging from the front too, but everytime my bf changes it, he does it the other way! I always change it back. It's not like his preference or anything. He just doesn't bother checking to see which is front and which is back (you know, the beginning part of the toilet paper will be stuck to the other part, right?), but somehow it always ends up hanging from the back. Hmm...

[wackycashew]

well, in movies, it's usually not by choice. if you're forced to hide in a hotel room or in a public bathroom or even in a washroom on a plane... well, that's what you gotta do, i suppose.

hahaha... that's funny. does he even know? :D man, this is reminding me of the toilet seat down or toilet seat up issue. :laughing:

[vunsin]

No... my bf doesn't change the toilet paper that often anyways... Mostly I'm the one who'd end up with the last piece of toilet paper.

About the toilet seat down and toilet seat up issue, I wouldn't expect a guy to put it down for me because I don't put it up for him! It's only fair, right? Why do guys have to put it put and down and girls don't have to do anything?

But hey, at least it's good enough that they remember to put it up BEFORE they pee... I had the most barbaric roommate a few years ago, and he'd pee on the toilet seat! ARGH!!!

[wackycashew]

yeah, i totally agree with you about that. just flip the toilet seat yourself when you go. it's only fair. i don't think either side needs to accommodate the other.

ewww... that's just gross. *imagines sprinkles of pee around the toilet seat* :bigyuck:

[vunsin]

Gross is an understatement. I'm extremely short-sighted, and sometimes I need to go in the middle of the night, so of course I wouldn't be wearing my contacts already (I didn't have a pair of glasses at that time), and I couldn't see clearly! Unfortunately, I've sat on the wet seat before. :oops: What did I do after that? I took a shower!

[wackycashew]

ewww... i hate that icky feeling on your butt. in public bathrooms, i always scruntinize every inch of the seat and do the wipe-down thing with toilet paper before i go. other times i can't be bothered and just do the hovering move. haha... oh, you know what i detest? those old school washrooms where it's totally flat with just that hole on the floor and you have to squat down to pee. a lil' too breezy for my liking. :dry:

[vunsin]

Ah... So you have the open hole type of toilet in your school? I thought they only have that in Asia. Somebody did a study somewhere before, and they said that non-Asians can't squat or hover, as you said, when doing their bathroom business. Hehe... That's why the public restrooms here are so clean because everybody wants to sit! In Malaysia, it's impossible to find a toilet seat that you could sit on, except in homes! In the public restrooms, all the toilet seats are wet and dirty and full of shoeprints!

[wackycashew]

no no no... not in my school! thank goodness! i was in HK at the time. yeah... i read something about non-asians can't squat, too. actually, i've seen some pics of japanese toilets that have the open hole type thing. oh, i hate seeing footprints on toilet seats. WTH?! don't need to pull any stunts while going to the washroom. it'd be hilarious if that person's foot slips and ends up sticking it in the toilet bowl... :laughing: serves that person right. :dry:

[vunsin]

Oh, sorry, I just reread your post and saw "old school" instead of just "school." Hehe... :blush: But that was how my school's toilets were. They didn't have anything with a seat. Well, wackycashew, people have no choice but to squat. Nobody sensible would sit on those public toilet seats. Every little girl has been warned by her mother against sitting on public toilet seats. My mom was even more extreme. She wouldn't want me to use other people's toilet too. She said I should just use my own private toilet whenever possible! But anyhow, when I went to the public restrooms, I always choose those with the holes.

[wackycashew]

and i meant "old school" as old-fashioned. not literally my old school. heehee...

yeah... i much rather wait till i go home to use the washroom instead of using the public restroom if i can help it. and oh yeah... i think all asian parents warn their daughters about that. :crazy: and in that sense, those open hole type of toilets can be better since you're planning on squatting anyway.

[Jess]

I hang my toilet paper from the back!!!!!!!!!!! Well actually, sometimes it just rolls to the back. If you know what I mean.

HAHAHA this was by the far the WEIRDEST survey I have ever taken. The questions were so creative. And I found out I knew the answers to all of the questions without having to think :blush: Maybe I know my bathroom habits too well.

Lisa and vunsin, you guys are having a very.. interesting.. discussion... :crazy:

[vunsin]

Haha... Jess, glad to know you think our discussion was, ah, interesting. I figured if we discuss this in any other thread we'd be off topic, but I'm assuming in here we'd be fine!

Back to the squatting thing. Well, now that I'm used to sitting (after being here for more than 4 years), I can't imagine going home and using the public restroom! *gasp* And they don't even provide toilet paper, you know, so if you'd forgotten to bring some with you, you're screwed!

[sUm^MeR]

Hey, lisa and vunsin, me too!!! I hate people who step on toilet seat and pee all over it. Even in my company, I have to sorta half-squat when peeing, because the toilet seat is usually wet and full of shoe prints. And they don't have toilet seat covers here in Asia!!!! Aargghhh!!!! :-x

But I can't use the open hole toilet bowl thing. I hated it because I always accidently pee on my shoes. :wacko: So even though I have to go to a publich bathroom, I'll choose the seating one, but I'll wipe the seat before I sit on it. Or I just do the half-squat thing.

[Jess]

Let me join in on this thoroughly fascinating subject!!! I sit when I go to the bathroom, but in dirty restrooms, I definitely squat. (well, not squat, you can't squat if there's not a hole in the ground, but what I mean is that I don't sit down, but stand slightly over it) Like in Port-a-Potties, I definitely don't want my butt touching the dirty seat with probably 504294320342904820384325832 bacterias crawling around 50miles per second.

And I hate the people that pee all over the toilet seat. I mean, come on.. that's just gross. The least they can do is clean up after they.. "miss," you know?? And those people that never flush.. how hard is it to flush after you go to the bathroom!?!?!?

[vunsin]

sUm^MeR and Jess, how could you do the half-squat thing? I always end up making a mess when I do that! I'd pee on my legs... Like, the pee would trickle down my thighs! You guys must have a special talent... Either that, or I'm just too short!

[Mushimushi]

haha...this is quite fun....
i have never thought about my habits in the toilet actually...hehe...only now then i realise about these stuffs..

[wackycashew]

haha... after all my experiences, i can proudly proclaim that i am an expert squatter or half-squatter or whatever you wanna call it. it's an art that you gotta master... :brows:

jess, i hate people who don't flush!! that is sooooo disgusting! especially if they just did a #2. :crazy: and people who just throw tampons or sanitary napkins around are so rude. :-x

summer, i don't think those toilet cover things are that common around here either. i might have seen it one time at some higher class place.

oh, another thing... i hate one-ply toilet paper that's see-through thin! they are so fragile. you tug on the roll and you pull off two little squares. have to end up repeating that action multiple times to get the appropriate amount of toilet paper. stupid cheap companies... :dry:

[vunsin]

Har... I forgot to mention something about Malaysian public restroom. Most of the flushers don't work either! So 1) extremely filthy 2) no toilet paper 3) no working flush!

I heard China's worse. I can't imagine...

[Jess]

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm an expert half-squatter too!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have like perfect accuracy when I half-squat.......

haha it's SO gross talking about that.......!!!!!

i knowww, I hate the people that don't bother to throw about their used tampons/pads and leave them either on the ground, hanging on poles, or in the toilet (unflushed). it's soo nasty!!! and the people that go like extreme diarrhea in the toilet and don't bother to flush. aren't they nervous that people will go into their stall after they're done and check to see? man, i never leave a public stall without flushing. it's like an unwritten rule!

[wackycashew]

jess! *high five* haha...

yeah, it's such inconsiderate behaviour. i pity those who have to clean the bathrooms. must not be a fun job at all. and i always flush the toilet. how can anyone forget really?! even if the flushing doesn't seem to work very well, i make sure it's flushed before i open the door to the stall to leave. i'm sure people don't forget to flush at home, why can't they extend that knowledge to outside the home? :dry:

[vunsin]

Err... Did you guys think that when I said "don't work" it meant "don't work very well?" When I said "don't work" I meant "no water" and "broken!"

[Jess]

Hahaha I know, its like, a guy named Mincus never flushes the toilets in public restrooms and always leaves a huge chunk of bubbling green diarrhea in the toilet.

At home:

Mincus' Mother: Son, what is this? *inspecting stringy diarrhea*

...

Okay as you can tell I'm really bored..

[sUm^MeR]

What about those people who had such a big poop and it stuck in the toilet bowl. I once went to my school restroom, and one toilet bowl had this big chunky poop. I flushed it before I attempt to use it, but it turns out, the water rise up and flow out of the toilet bowl.... along with the poop. Aaararffgggyhhhh!!!! That's like the most disgusting experience ever.

wackycashew, I know the pain of those janitors. And I once work in Starbucks, and when I cleaned the bathroom, there was a poop....on the floor!!! Geeezzzz, how come someone is sooooo stupid to miss a spot when pooping? Luckily, I was a shift lead, and I told my other worker to clean it for me. But still, it's gross!!!

vunsin, I heard the restroom in China have no doors. And they have no water flowing, and the bathroom smells like pee. :wacko:

I'm a half-squat expert too Jess!!! I always do that on the public restroom, and I proudly announce that I never pee on my shoes when doing the half-squat thing. ^^

[wackycashew]

ewwwww... :crazy: summer, that is so sick!! why would ANYONE do that? :glug: i'm so speechless... and i hate the agonizing stench of some public restrooms. makes me wanna puke. i'd rather hold it in and go home first. oh, you know which bathrooms are bad? the ones at public beaches... gross gross gross

hey jess and summer, us 3 can be PPF's angels! :angel: haha...

yoohoo NOPPH, you have 3 assistants right here! :wink2:

[Jess]

We should be the H-SE!! (Half-Squatting Experts)

Summer that is sooo sick. I have never seen a chunk of poo lying on the ground ><;;; and I hope I never will........ I think ALL public bathrooms should have air fresheners and.. a box of matches so people can drench out the smell of their.. droppings.

[cici bebe]

:brows: I'm going to have to take applications for being NOPPH's assistants. There are many resumes just lining up in my mailbox it's hard to sort through.. Though you all sound VERY expert..


:wacko: Good thing I ate a while ago.


The GROSSEST thing is when I walk into a stall and there's BLOOD all inside the toilet. Once there was blood and poop all over I thought I was going to die right there. :sick:

[E-Ping]

Wheww...what a set of "complete" questions about toilet habits..pretty interesting though.I was laughing like hell when i saw the Q about have u ever tried to fart but pooped in ur pants instead..i thought that was pretty..um...funny. :laughing: Yea i have been wondering as well as why people would wanna light a match after going to the bathroom...um.. :oops:

[polaris^^]

that site is just hilarious!

some questions i just couldn't stop laughing at them :laughing:

haha, the lighting of the match after going to the toilet, wouldn't it just increase the smell? didnt even know people would do such a thing but its a strange world we live in --> anything is possible lol.

[vunsin]

I'm glad I've never had to clean any toilets at work. The restrooms, yes, as in sweeping and mopping, but not the actual toilet bowl. Taking out the trash is bad enough!

One time, I was working at the restaurant, and one old lady got sick and she pooped all over the floor of the ladies' room! I was the first person to push open the door after she left and I almost died from the horrible smell! I ran away as fast and as far away as I could. Luckily the only waiter who worked on that day was such a gentleman. He bravely cleaned the whole female restroom for us! I can't imagine how he could do it...

[jakinni]

About the toilet paper, I prefer mine hanging from the front too, but everytime my bf changes it, he does it the other way! I always change it back. It's not like his preference or anything. He just doesn't bother checking to see which is front and which is back (you know, the beginning part of the toilet paper will be stuck to the other part, right?), but somehow it always ends up hanging from the back. Hmm...

To add to the discussion about toilet paper hanging front or back, I always prefer to have it in the back. It's totally logical because when you pull it to rip off some, first it's easier since there's resistance, the whole roll won't come following when you only need a certain length. Second, if a lot of of the paper comes off and trails on the ground, it's so much easier to roll it back up when it's hanging from the back. Whereas if it's hanging from the front, you have to reach behind to roll it back up. Try it.

Last year, for my Microbiology lab, I actually had to go the public washrooms in the building and use a sponge to wipe various parts of the washroom, squeeze out the liquid from the sponge and put it on some growth media to see what, if any, bacteria grew. Everyone had to do a different section, I was assigned the toilet rim, when you put the seat up. I have to say, there were surprisingly few bacteria obtained from that sample. Others had to flush the toilet and let the water sprays land on their plate of growth media, and also surprisingly few bacteria were found to have grown. However, the place with the most bacteria was the lever on those paper dispensers. :? You'd think that's the cleanest place since people touch it AFTER washing their hands.

[sUm^MeR]

Oh my goodness, the lever in paper dispenser has more bacteria than the toilet rim???? 0_o

Anyhow, vunsin, I just don't know how could a sick person poop all over the floor. I just couldn't imagine it! What on earth is wrong with her? I mean, if I have a really bad diorrhea or stomach problems, I would still manage to poop in the toilet bowl, not the floor!!

About the toilet paper, I always do the front side. I don't know, I'm just more used to it. Because if I have in the back, I tend to pull that thing off and ended up using more than I need. And when I tear the paper off (if it's hanging in the back), I always make a messy tearing on the edge of the paper. Don't know why. *shrug*

[Viv]

oh wow...all of you seem so INTERESTED in this discussion! i only posted it up cuz i thought people would get a good laugh! not....get interested......okay now im officially scared of all you kids....lol just kidding! yeah i found the survey quite funny and i thought the person that wrote it was truly an idiot...

[vunsin]

Anyhow, vunsin, I just don't know how could a sick person poop all over the floor. I just couldn't imagine it! What on earth is wrong with her? I mean, if I have a really bad diorrhea or stomach problems, I would still manage to poop in the toilet bowl, not the floor!!

Well, that old lady was REALLY old and this is sad, but some old people just control of their bowel movements. Haven't you heard about diapers for old people? They're for old people who can't control when they need to go. So obviously that poor old lady just couldn't control herself. She was pooping as she walked... Hey, she had to throw out her pants, so it's not like she pooped on the floor on purpose! It wasn't really her fault. Nobody blamed her. It was just sick to have to clean up after her... We closed off the ladies' for the whole day because it smelt too bad. We had to use the gents' for the rest of the day...

I guess the paper dispenser thing was dirty because nobody ever thought to clean it? When the cleaning people clean the restroom, they'd wash the toilet bowls, sinks, and the floor. But who would clean the paper dispenser? And who knows for sure that everyone touches it with CLEAN hands?

[xiaoli]

Hahaha, what an interesting survey. I was eating when I started it though. :sick:

I guess the paper dispenser thing was dirty because nobody ever thought to clean it? When the cleaning people clean the restroom, they'd wash the toilet bowls, sinks, and the floor. But who would clean the paper dispenser? And who knows for sure that everyone touches it with CLEAN hands?

I just read the results and only 57% of people always wash their hands after going to the toilet! Gross.

Hey, I'm an expert half-squatter too!! :D I call it hovering though. It's kind of a habit of mine, sometimes I unconsciously hover at home. Only with a #1 of course.

About the toilet paper thing, I have mine at the back too. Jakinni explained it well.

And I DESPISE those hole type toilets. They always stink like hell, way more than seated ones. I hate going to public toilets in Malaysia. I'd often forget to carry tissues around with me so sometimes when I really needed to go, I'd have to run around first, looking for somewhere to buy it. Most of the time I'd be wearing thongs (flat and open shoes!) and there'd be liquid on the floor (could be water OR pee) :crazy:

[vunsin]

Well, most of the people who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet are MALES!

When I put the toilet paper hanging from the back, the first piece always got stuck and I could never pull ANY paper out.

[wackycashew]

jess, we can be H-SE! you're a genius! :excited:

NOPPH... you have lots of applicants lined up? o.O well, you don't need to bother with them. us 3 are simply the best... and remember the gift i just got you? Supersoaker 2003 Turbo Peé Edition, specially designed to hose noobs down with pee. :brows:

jakinni, i don't reach behind to roll the toilet paper back up even though i have it hanging from the front. i just push up the front and it rolls back up fine for me. i don't know... having it the other way around isn't as convenient for me. but it's probably due to habit. *shrugs*

vunsin, oh my... hats off to that colleague of yours who's such a gentleman. it is sad though how some old people can't control their bowel movements...

Well, most of the people who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet are MALES!

When I put the toilet paper hanging from the back, the first piece always got stuck and I could never pull ANY paper out.
yeah... i guess guys don't bother cuz they don't have to wipe? :glug: and ditto for the second part there. especially in public washrooms!

[-+my-memory+-]

lolz... wat an interesting survery... never knew that there is so many questions about how you do your daily personal activities lolz....

[Quiet Boy]

I hate people who deliberately dirty and vandalise toilets!!! Like people who piss all over the place etc... :-x But lucky I'm a guy and can just piss in the urinals :)

I never even knew those hole toilets existed until a few years ago. When I first went into one, I was shocked, so I went back out and told him somebody stole the toilet! He went in there, laughed, and told me they;re all like that :laughing:

[lattae]

this is my favourite question
"Are you an inspector? (An inspector checks the toilet paper after each wipe to examine the fecal content on the sheet to see if further wiping is required)."

and 77% of those polled (at point I view) said yes... gee.. the obsession with what we poop...

[retrobaby]

ahahahahaha! :excited:
this is sooo funny! never knew that there can be so many different ways of using the toilet...and funny habits too!

[faustine_yap]

I really loved the survey, thanks jay_lover_4lyf

i never really think so much about my toilet habits, hehe :shy:

[wackycashew]

hey, this is a site that's my default page and i saw this pic today. since it's related to this topic, thought i'd post the pic here. :laughing: (btw, www.engrish.com has a lot of funny stuff about the misuse of the english language. :bleh:)

http://www.engrish.com/image/engrish/bathfun.jpg

[shouling]

i have never thought so much about bathroom habbits before in my life~!

that was pretty fun though.

thanx jay_lover_4lyf for posting it for us. i was bored too~!

[jessica]

haha, that's a funny survey.


One time, I was working at the restaurant, and one old lady got sick and she pooped all over the floor of the ladies' room! I was the first person to push open the door after she left and I almost died from the horrible smell! I ran away as fast and as far away as I could. Luckily the only waiter who worked on that day was such a gentleman. He bravely cleaned the whole female restroom for us! I can't imagine how he could do it...

don't even talk about pooping on the floor!... i went to a public bathroom once and there was a huge splatter of poop at the back of the toilet seat rim and some on the floor! :crazy: ... i ran out as ASAP... it was so disgusting. :sick:

[meemaw]

ahahah..this was a *great* survey! it definitely kept me from being bored :laughing: made me think too!..ahha..i wonder how long it took those people to come up with such...*thought provoking* questions... :hmm:

[michelle_chou]

well, that was interesting *cough* disturbing *cough* i never thought id see the day when a poop-n-pee survey was made...well, i WAS bored so decided to take it...still, it was rather disturbing...but thanks for posting it since it did take off some of my enormous load of boredom

[vunsin]

this is my favourite question
"Are you an inspector? (An inspector checks the toilet paper after each wipe to examine the fecal content on the sheet to see if further wiping is required)."

and 77% of those polled (at point I view) said yes... gee.. the obsession with what we poop...

Um, it's more hygienic to do that, actually. Surely you don't want to have that "fecal content" leftovers on you for the whole day? :glug: It's uncomfortable and makes your, ah, crack, itches. I can't imagine how some people could go around like that for the whole day. I've always thought that it's only natural that people would want to wipe until they're totally clean. :? Oh well...

[GaryDAI]

I like looking at my poop :)

Very interesting page btw :laughing:

[JianDan[Ai]]

I like looking at my poop :)



we should let CiCi know we found her arch-enemy .. the pee fairy vs Doc Poop
(for some reason bad guys are all doctors =P)

[wackycashew]

gary as Doc Poop?! :excited: PPF, looks like you've got some competition now... :shifty:

gary, is this part of your plan to brainwash me? by becoming Doc Poop? :cry: *feeling infiltrated with poop and pee*

[Smonkkey]

Wow, this poop intrigues me. Poop and pee... i'm sorry but i have to do this. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: ok i feel much better now. Anytime you guy want to come by, do so, :drool: ....

[wackycashew]

:lolabove: smonkkey!! there you go again! i knew you'd find your way here. :laughing:

Poop and pee
Is what you see (what you see)
From them, others will flee
But you just shout with glee (shout with glee)
A Doc and a Fairy
Who's better? Who's it gonna be? (Who's it gonna be?)
Between you and me
We're just gonna have to wait and see (wait and see)

[GaryDAI]

lol wacky......I never thought I'll read a Poop and Pee poem :laughing:

I can tell that you are quite creative in that area :laughing:

[wackycashew]

lol wacky......I never thought I'll read a Poop and Pee poem :laughing:

I can tell that you are quite creative in that area :laughing:
haha... i can't help it, gary. every time i see smonkkey use this --> :drool:, i just get triggered... :rolleyes: it all started with that member vs. member game with him, JianDan[Ai], and sawmui13. :D

:secret: pssst... i get my Poop and Pee writing skills from Doc Poop and PPF. :brows:

[vunsin]

Gosh... You people are just having too much FUN with this! I'm hoping this will somehow result in our paying more attention to our, ah, hygiene from now on? As I've observed, some people don't clean themselves completely after pooping! :rolleyes: Gosh... I never expected to find some many interesting "facts" about our friends in this forum. Hehe...

[sUm^MeR]

Doc Poop and Pee Pool Fairy poem??? :laughing:
Lisa, you never stop to entertain use with your poem. :)


Well, that old lady was REALLY old and this is sad, but some old people just control of their bowel movements. Haven't you heard about diapers for old people? They're for old people who can't control when they need to go. So obviously that poor old lady just couldn't control herself. She was pooping as she walked... Hey, she had to throw out her pants, so it's not like she pooped on the floor on purpose! It wasn't really her fault. Nobody blamed her. It was just sick to have to clean up after her... We closed off the ladies' for the whole day because it smelt too bad. We had to use the gents' for the rest of the day...

Oh, okay. Now it's more understandable. Poor old lady. However, it's really sucks just to think of cleaning the floor fulls of her poo. I piece of poo was awful enough for me to grab. Btw, I accidently grabbed that poo in Starbucks becuase it was covered by paper towel. When I wanted to clean the restroom, I grabbed the paper towel on the floor, and....O...o ...that's when I realized I just grabbed someone's poo. :crazy: I've never wash my hands so vigourously except for that day.

Btw, I also like to check on the toilet paper after pooping. I usually wipe 3 to 4 times. Before I'm confident enough that I'm clean.

Btw, any of you guys flush after each piece of poo? My friend is used to do that. And when he was living in the dorm, everyone will know he's the one that's pooping just by lietening how often the flushing sounded. At first I thought it a was weird habit, but I figured that it's the best way to get rid of the smell. So once it's out, you flush it, and the poo doesn't have a chance to spread its smell. :bleh: I know it's such a waste of water, but it's much better than making the whole bathroom smell like your poo. :D

[wackycashew]

haha summer... i'm glad you find my poems entertaining. :D

as for the flushing thing, i do the flush after each poo thing ever since my mom started telling us all to do it. for one reason, it gets rid of the smell. for another reason, it minimizes the probability of clogging the toilet. (it's not fun using the plunger to pump the toilet after someone has done a #2. o.O)

and oh my, you didn't realize it was poo till you touched the paper towel? :crazy: ewwwww... i could imagine the shock and disgust and the subsequent need to wash your hand vigorously multiple times. :wacko: hope you don't have to go through that again.

[vunsin]

About the multiple flushing, I think it's a good idea. However, I find one problem with it, or maybe it's just MY problem, but when I flush while still sitting on the toilet seat, the water from the toilet bowl will splash onto my bottom! Yucks!

And I have one habit that I'd like to "share" here since we're already on this topic. :) At home, after I do #2, I'll wash myself instead of just wiping. I think this is the most hygienic way! And no need to waste tons of toilet paper or risk clogging the toilet either.

[sUm^MeR]

OMG vunsin. You are really ASIAN!!! Do you use soap also?

I think only Asians wash their butt after pooping. Even in Indonesia, we have a water sprayer in public bathroom. So instead of wasting toilet papers, we have a water sprayer to wash after ourselves once we've done peeing or pooping. Some of us can't even use toilet paper because we don't feel it's clean enough.

Hehehe you actually do that? Wow, I'm so amazed right now. But I don't get it you use no toilet paper at all and after you flush you rush straight to the shower and wash yourself?

[vunsin]

No, of course I do use SOME toilet paper. Just not a whole bunch. Just enough to stop any possible "dripping" before I make my way to the bathtub. :wink2:

[cinsin]

So I see that you and all the other Indonesians do your bit for the environment :D

[vunsin]

So I see that you and all the other Indonesians do your bit for the environment :D

Sorry, off topic, but: Who are the other Indonesians? Am I supposed to know them? :?

[sUm^MeR]

Hahaha, maybe nupengyou got mixed with my post, vunsin. I was talking about how Indonesian doesn't like to use toilet paper, they use water sprayer instead. It's one post before you. Maybe nupengyou thought it was yours. ^^

[vunsin]

Oh.... mistaken identity. I see, I see... Well, the water sprayer thing, I think they provide it because Muslim women are required to wash themselves after #1 (and of course also #2). It's part of the religion. That's why they always provide the water sprayer thing in toilets. In some public restrooms where there's no water supply (anyone surprised at this point?), they'll provide a small cup or something (argh, I forgot the name of it) for them to scoop water from somewhere...

[Quiet Boy]

hmmm vunsin I think nupengyou accidently mistook you for summer

gosh, bathroom habits are so interesting! :excited: Maybe cos I'm a very unhiegenic person by nature (I haven't flushed the toilet in years and I never wipe afterwards). I find myself coming back to this particular thread again and again to find out about other people's toilet secrets! :drool: hehe if I ever meet one of you guys in real life, this is probably what i'll rememeber cos this thread will be stuck in my mind. :bleh:

[vunsin]

WHAT?! Quiet Boy, you never flush the toilet?! Shame on you! :-x Hmm... And stop that drooling! How could you not flush the toilet? If my bf do that I'd be so pissed at him! How could you.... :? How about #2? Don't flush either? :brows: And you never wipe? :oops: Gosh! What do you do then?

[Viv]

vunsin...u must take a long time in bathrooms eh? i mean...everytime u go fer a #2 u have to go into the bathtub...wash...come out...put your pants on...and then get out of the bathroom? yeow!

whoa..quiet boy..u dont flush? thenwhat happens to the people that live with u? lol glad to know you`ll remmeber this thread.....

[vunsin]

vunsin...u must take a long time in bathrooms eh? i mean...everytime u go fer a #2 u have to go into the bathtub...wash...come out...put your pants on...and then get out of the bathroom? yeow!

WRONG! :laughing: After "come out" there's supposed to be "wipe/dry" before "put pants on!" Haha... :laughing:

Not to say PROUD exactly, but at least I know I won't itch back there!

[sUm^MeR]

That would take an extra 2 minutes, then vunsin. For the wipe/drying part. ^^

Btw, I don't even know that it's a muslim tradition for women to wash after themselves after peeing.

However, after spending my college years in the States, now I'm used to using toilet paper instead of water sprayer. Just think, if you're using water sprayer, and you plan to wipe/dry yourself up, the water would tear the toilet paper, and make the bits stuck in your private areas. It's sorta disgusting.

That would really depend on the quality of the toilet paper you're using. At home, I use a special hand towel for that purpose. :wink2: When I'm not at home, I normally try not to do #2. But if I have no choice, I'd just wet a bunch of toilet paper at the sink and then bring them in with me. :happy: They don't really stick.

[LiLxAmMiE]

that bathroom survey was very sick! now that was the most disturbing test i've ever had! :happy:

oh wow! u think alot! but i guess its true and plus it probably does take a couple minutes to dry yourself....

hahaha... :laughing: vunsin, you sound like you're a pro at this! so knowledgeable... heehee... yeah, i guess it does depend on the quality of the toilet paper. just check the "strength" first prior to wetting them, right? i don't like to do a #2 in a public restroom either. feels weird... like it's less clean or something...

[ashley]

I should've made time and checked this thread earlier and now I'm just going to butt in mid-way... hope you guys don't mind.

Yup, Muslims are supposed to clean themselves, be it #1 or #2, with water. Yes - WITH WATER. Did you know that if the rest rooms did not have water flowing, they'd rather not do it? BTW, I'm always curious about how they can handle themselves when there is water but no toilet paper to dry themselves up. They always manage, somehow, without any tell-tale wet spots on their clothings.

Drip-dry???
I find it amazing that I'm learning all these things about other people from other religion's toilet habits, stuff I would never be able to learn at school.

[Merriana]

euh....disgusting.... :oops:
but the results that's very shocking.... :wacko:
plus the question is very very weird...
and i can't imagine that there's actually someone out there that
poop and not closing the door...
his/her family must've gone crazy because of the smell.. :laughing:

Oh, something I forgot to mention. Actually, Muslims are only supposed to wash their privates with their LEFT hand. That's why they're not supposed to eat with their left hands or shake hands with left hands because that's considered rude. So don't shake a Muslim's hand with your left!

[cinsin]

Oh I heard about that, my sister was telling me about that when she went to Indonesia, but she was telling me that they don't wash their left hands after they go to the toilet and that's why you're not supposed to shake their left hands.

[vunsin]

Oh I heard about that, my sister was telling me about that when she went to Indonesia, but she was telling me that they don't wash their left hands after they go to the toilet and that's why you're not supposed to shake their left hands.

Well, if they have to wash their privates with water, I'm assuming they'll use their hands while doing that, so I guess technically they do wash their hands!

And don't worry, THEY aren't supposed to shake YOUR left hands either. :wink2:

never knew that before... i think that's kind of unsanitary.

WHAT is kind of unsanitary? The washing? You think it's cleaner NOT to clean up? :glug:

[wackycashew]

vunsin, i think what jessica meant was using their hands to do the cleaning is unsanitary, especially if they don't really wash their hands afterwards.

[vunsin]

So how else is one supposed to wash him/herself? :? Even if you just wipe yourself, you're still using your hand. :? Either way, you're supposed to wash your hands after that, so what's the difference? :?

[wackycashew]

no no no... of course we use our hands. i'm not familiar with what these people do. but after your wash yourself, you'd usually wipe with a towel or cloth or something to dry, right? and then of course proceed to wash your hands. but nupengyou was saying before that they DON'T wash their hands, right? :? they're using their hands to do the washing. but they don't use soap and water to just wash their hands afterwards? i'm getting confused... :wacko:

[vunsin]

Yes, nupengyou said they didn't wash their hands, but they're only supposed to wash themselves down there with their LEFT hands, and they're NOT supposed to shake anyone's hand or eat with their left hands, so I'm assuming we're safe anyways... :wink2:

[wackycashew]

i see... nevertheless, that feels icky to me... so they never really bother to wash their left hand? any particular reason? it's just a norm for them? :? it just seems so restrictive that they can't eat with their left hand or shake anyone's hand with that hand... why not go that extra step to just wash it?

[vunsin]

Erm... I can't verify whether they do or don't wash their left hands. We can't come to a conclusion based on what nupengyou's sister heard during a trip to Indonesia, can we? :wink2: And even if that was true, we still can't make a generalization that ALL Indonesian or Muslim women are like that. :wink2:

[strawberri]

:laughing: ....i never realised all this stuff that goes on in the bathroom...

[vunsin]

Hey, I just found this piece of "toilet news" from Singapore, teaching people how to keep the toilet clean. :laughing: There's actually a "World Toilet Organization" and "World Toilet Day." :laughing:

Breaking the Taboo Over Toilets?
Wed Nov 19, 9:34 AM ET
By Jason Szep

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Flushed with the success of making the island's lavatories among the cleanest in the world, a Singapore-based organization marked "World Toilet Day" on Wednesday with a call for more hygiene in public facilities.

"What we are trying to do is break the taboo over toilets," said Jack Sim, a founding member of the non-profit World Toilet Organization.

"Everybody talks about what goes into the body and no one talks about what comes out," he said.

The two-year-old World Toilet Organization (www.worldtoilet.org), which aims to raise global awareness of toilet and sanitation standards, marked its annual World Toilet Day with a call for people to speak out against poorly designed or filthy latrines.

The group is collecting tips ahead of a World Toilet Summit to be held in Beijing next year.

The group -- whose members include the British Toilet Association and 17 other similar organizations from 13 countries -- has a top-10 list of latrine essentials that Sim says will lead to "happier people."

The average person, according to the group's Web Site, visits the toilet 2,500 times a year -- meaning you spend nearly three years of your life in the lavatory.

To make the experience more enjoyable, parents should teach children to aim properly, toilet seats should be wiped clean before and after use and flush handles that don't work should be reported.

The group also urged new projects to alleviate a serious lack of toilets in many parts of the world.

"More than half of the world population do not have toilets. They are defecating openly," said Sim, who is also president of the Restroom Association of Singapore.

Women, he says, suffer most from poor public lavatories.

"The amount of space for women's and men's toilets is often a mirror image of each other. But the female requires more than that because they don't have urinals," he said.

"The men just go to the urinals, zip down, shoot, finish. That usually takes about 32 seconds.

"A women can take three times as long. This means a queue can form -- and when there is a queue it starts to get dirty."

He said Japanese toilets were among the best in the world, but those in Beijing were improving fast ahead of the 2008 Olympics.

"The toilets in Beijing now are really beautiful. They have renovated 2,000 public toilets," he said.

Singapore boasts some of the cleanest public lavatories in the world -- helped in part by automatic flushers and laws which impose fines on people who don't flush after use.

:lolabove: ahahahahaha... ROFLMAO... :roll: OMG, vunsin!!!!! this has been the most hilarious thing i've read today. hahahahaha.... these are my fave quotes from your post...

hahaha... :laughing: these are so funny... thanks for sharing, vunsin! man... WTO... and a BTA... gosh, can i attend that summit next year? i've always wanted to go to beijing... perhaps this is the motivation that i need... :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

Hehe... It does sound like a joke, doesn't it? And it's supposed to be news. :rolleyes: But the part where they compare men and women is so true. Men always complain why women take so long to go to the bathroom, but they didn't know how much more effort we have to put it. :dry:

[GoNgZhu]

OMG! tats so funny and cute, world toilet day!!!!
i guess you learn somfing new each and every single day!!!!lmao!!!!

aish, this is sooo disturbing...but its so hilarious too! i kept laughing, i'm so weird. ack, someone really did have too much time on their hands...i feel so dirty taking this quiz -_-

[DragonPrince]

The more I answer those question. The more I felt like laughing.

When I saw the results, it was funny to know how many of us are unqiue or alike. I didn't know there was so much to using the bathroom.

[ichigo fairy]

and who lights a match after going to the bathroom? o_O

i think the match makes the stinky smell go away.


omg, this survey is funny. :excited: LOL ^-^ my dad heard me laughing out loud while i was taking this survey and asked me "what's so funny?" hahaha^^

[Ice]

Omg this is really lame!!! but interesting... Ive know more of my habit now!!!

[chewy]

ha,it was a fun game....i found dat most ppl have the same toiet habits as i do....

[lilazndreamer]

hahahahhaha... its so detailed.. whoever made this survey must've thought of all the possible things poeple do in a restroom.. hhaaahhaa...

hmmm.. .teh one about dropping tissue paper in the toiilet before you pee to prevent bouncing of pee. LOL.. i must try that sometime... hahaha.

[koala--bear]

That was just weird! i COULD NOT stop laughing! i mean "Do you inspect what you've left in the bowl after flushing?" that was just hilarious!!! But also a little disgusting.

[lizzy2OO6]

BHAHHAHH
how funny...
i cant believe someone made that...
still, its interesting to see the results XD
