I am glad the euro ethics have made it to the gorge. Keep it shitty 2020

When I was a kid, we would go to 'family camp' in the sierra foothills outside of Yosemite every summer.  Around the age of 7 or so, I shat in one of the campground showers.  No other reason than I felt like it.

Fast forward about 8 years, and I was working on the summer maintenance crew at the same camp.  The job of the day was cleaning bathrooms.  I found a dump in the exact same shower, and it was my job to clean it up.  So I grabbed a dust pan and scooped it up, accidentally splattering some of it on me...  I was 'spooged' as we said on the crew when hit with something gross.  Immediate hose down and a run to the river to rinse off.

Some kind of shitty karma for sure.

Maybe it was some Euro dude who thought it was a shitter.  Often in Europe, depending upon the country, I have run into what looks like a shower stall with a hole for pooping.  Maybe he/she was drunk and confused on malt liquor and crappy weed.

That’s racist

Europe is not a race.

The post contains cultural bigotry.

No, seriously. I used one of these Euro holes in Monaco when I was sixteen. It was tiled, too, so it looked like a shower. But you had some waffle places for your feet, presumably so you didn't slip while squatting. Now we may be getting somewhere. This could be the answer as to why.

Was the hole on the wall or in the floor?

I hate all the races equally- including my own. No ya fools, go to Italy and you will know what I am  talking about.

I know how the squatter looks like, grew up using one. Did you wash your behind or you had TP handy?

Hah. I know a guy who took a shit in a Middle Eastern footbath in the Gulf thinking it was a squat toilet. That must have gone over well when the sheikh came in to wash his toesies.

I know someone who shat in a Morton Salt evaporating pond near the Great Salt Lake.

I think you are confusing shit hole with glory hole

Looks like that'd save a few trees.

Ok, always wondered about these things.  Saw them rarely in Europe myself except for some southern parts.  Mostly I’ve seen this in Asia.   Never needed to use one thankfully, but just what the heck is the concept here?

Like Tim’s pic, none had toilet paper.   Some just had a bucket of water.  Like what the F do you do with that??!!  Was it for flushing the turd, washing your ass, or washing your hands — or all three?

Aren’t your pants in the danger zone with whatever you plan to do straddling that thing?  You expected to do some sort of “Matrix” like maneuver? That hose looks awful short to be effective at much of any option.  Either way,  I wouldn’t touch the bucket or the hose if you paid me 10 grand$.  

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
