Americans shit in the same room where they supposedly clean themselves. Seriously. There are no separate toilet and bathing rooms in any American home I’ve ever entered.
If they ever actually take a bath and properly soak instead of just sluicing water over themselves, they “wash” in the tub they soak in, spreading the filth over their entire bodies instead of properly washing off the dirt thoroughly and then entering the tub.
They wear their shoes inside the house. The same shoes that walked over streets where their dogs shit, and people hock up loogies. Their feet are encased in the same stinking shoes all day and they usually leave them right beside the same bed where they sleep. Sometimes, they even put their feet up — still wearing those nasty shoes — on places where other people sit and lie down, and sometimes even where food is placed. Ugh.
They wipe their asses with dry paper. The only time they ever wash their asses is when they take a shower, or a bath. Some people complain about “skid marks” which are actually shit stains on their underwear.
Americans don’t compost their garbage. Most of them have something called a “garbage disposal” which chops up organic waste and simply dumps it into their water systems.
See, this works both ways.
I grew up in the US, but have lived in Japan for a long time. Some of these things I thought were kind of gross before, but now I think are absolutely disgusting.
That’s just the personal hygiene and a bit of waste disposal. I could go on for thousands of words about some differences between the way the two cultures gross the hell out of each other.
And that’s even granting the shitting in public point. Ever been to a major city in the US? You’ve seen human shit in the street at one point or another. You just thought it was dog shit. I can virtually guarantee it.
