This happened when I had Iraqi Coast Guard exchange personnel back in 2003. They were not only squating on a toilet not designed for it, but add in a rocking ship and a near waterless vacuum waste system and hilarity ensued.Originally posted by Dinner View PostWhat if I don't want to crap like a Vietnamese peasant? Sitting down was good enough for the Romans so it is good enough for me.
Now, I've used my share of Asian squat-****ters but I find them to be primitive and rather unhygienic especially since it's hard to aim with them, there is seldom toilet paper in them, and you're expected to use a **** covered hose which unknown hundreds of other people have used before you. There is a reason why, even in the worst parts of Asia, all the expensive high class hotels offer nice, comfortable western style toilets and even the locals know they are superior and happily use them when they are available. Of course that doesn't prevent village peasants from attempting to squat on top of a western toilet seat like they would a primitive Asian squat toilet but most of those people fall down and hit their heads when the seat (over the bowl) moves. That will teach them to bring their peasant ways to civilized bathrooms."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

Ancient toilet paper from the Nara period. The wooden sticks were found in small streams ca. 10-15 cm wide and designed to be squatted over, and are believed to be used for cleaning after the use of the toilet streams. The modern toilet paper rolls are for size comparison. Photo taken by Chris 73 in February 2004 in an exhibition hall in Nara.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

No. It's so that you can look cool in public.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View PostSerious answer: it has been the design since at least roman times, I would think to help prevent accidents, like having a foot slip in.
