old man emu Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I had cause to visit a loo at Sydney University recently and was amazed to see this pictogram on the wall [ATTACH]49631._xfImport[/ATTACH] Apparently these signs are now needed because of the large number of South-east Asians attending the university. The situation is not unique to Australia: Do you squat or sit? Bizarre toilet etiquette signs ‘aimed at Asian tourists’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They (scientist) say Squating is best for the bowl. I think Perching is dangerous to ones health.( slipping off the Wet rim) spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I agree there, Spacey. Worse, still, after you slip off the rim, you'll fall over again on the wet floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Squating is best for the bowl. Is that bowl or bowel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think the elderly are not expected to crouch. Last time I visited an Indonesian loo, it looked a lot like most don't bother to crouch. They just bend slightly and aim at the nearest wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 When I was at uni nearly 50 years ago the cleaner would follow asians into the loo and if he couldn’t see feet under the door he would chuck a bucket of water over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
