[QUOTE=Cisco] For me it was this:Guys don’t care if people see their shoes while they’re peeing, since we pee standing next to each other all the time. Often without so much as a divider, much less a door. [/QUOTE] He’s more like a woman when it comes to bathroom ettiquette. He doesn’t appreciate people making small talk with him in the loo and would generally prefer to avoid using public restrooms. I told him it’s really not that bad unless you’re standing next to a guy at a urinal and he says, “Nice watch.” ---

My international anecdote… My wife and I were in Italy, can’t remember the city. In our hotel bathroom was a low-slung porcelain device in between the toilet (western version) and the sink. It was teardropped shaped, with a foot lever that made water squirt from the sides. I assumed it was a urinal, and was installed to not waste water with a big flush from the toilet. My wife insisted that it was a wash sink, so that you could hand wash laundry…we never figured it out, though I felt some residual guilt about peeing in it. ---

Every time I go to France they have this thing that I just don’t think can be a bidet, because it doesn’t, you know, squirt! It’s really like a low toilet-sink, you know, with a tap. I did once wash my clothes in one. ---
