I thought this might make a good idea for a thread. What are some of the weirdest, most bazaar, or just plan unusual cultural customs you've encountered? I know we all have a strange or embarrassing story from when we were on holiday or failing that we at least have stories about the weird things have doneo while visiting our own homelands.
I’ll start us off by telling a story about what happened to me when I was visiting Thailand. In Thailand all of the upper class fancy restaurants and night clubs have a bathroom (WC) attendant who’s dispenses mints, cologne, and the like. Nothing unusual there seeings how many western establishments do the same so what’s so weird? You see this attendant is also supposed to give the patrons a back massage while he takes a leak. I never knew that so I stumbled into the WC and began to take a piss when all of the sudden the attendant began giving me a back rub! I freaked out and almost hit the guy; I mean the last thing a guy wants is to have his shlong in his hands whilst another man rubs his back!
I quickly finished taking a piss then I went and complained to the waitress about the bathroom attendant which is when I learned it was his job to give massages while men “handle their business”. Weird but nearly all of the places in Thailand did the same thing and… once you get used to it it’s not such a bad thing. Still it’s a little weird.
