[B]Posters have gone up around a university campus instructing students on how to use the toilet properly.[/B] Swansea University says it has produced them to [B]help address cultural differences[/B]. The posters include images showing students what they should and should not do. Some students have called them ridiculous but others say they are a good idea to help keep the toilets clean and hygienic. [B]The images on the posters show a drawing of someone standing on a toilet seat with a red cross and another with a figure sitting correctly with a green tick.[/B] It asks students to[B] ensure used toilet roll is placed in the toilet and to make sure they flush it properly[/B] for the next person to use. In some countries in South East Asia where people squat to use the toilet there are posters informing Westerners how to use them. In parts of the Middle East where plumbing systems cannot cope there are posters informing people not to put toilet roll down the toilet but in bins. A university spokeswoman said: "[B]Swansea University is a multi-cultural campus community and the informational posters were produced, for use in both male and female facilities, to help address cultural differences that were unfortunately causing damage and hygiene issues.[/B] "The information was produced in conjunction with the International College Wales Swansea (ICWS) and displayed in key areas around the campus. "Since the inception of these posters, the situation has greatly improved in the affected areas." Images of the posters have appeared on Twitter with some students criticising them. Student James Trott told BBC Wales: "[B]It's a bit stupid really... it's just pretty damn funny.[/B]" [IMG]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/58435000/jpg/_58435909_toilet3042wn.jpg[/IMG] [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-16983788[/URL]
I don't want people getting foot juice where I put my butt! Gross!
public toilets. rather shit outside in a bush then use a public toilet.
It all makes sense now. There's gonna be a lot less messes in my house from now on.
There is nothing worse in this world than a university housing restroom on a Sunday morning. Pretty sure the posters forgot to mention you shouldn't piss on the walls/ceiling.

I wouldn't want to have such [I]shitty[/I] posters at my school.
[QUOTE=znk666;34638427]I wouldn't want to have such [I]shitty[/I] posters at my school.[/QUOTE] Enough of this toilet humor, grow up.
Wish people would learn how to respect a public restroom. The restrooms on my floor are horrible. The sinks are full of food and shit when there's a god damn trash room right next to it. Toilets are always covered in piss, nobody fucking flushes. Best part is when I'm in there using the urinal or whatever, and someone comes out of a stall, without flushing, and just leaves. Kind of disgusting.
[QUOTE=Bytecry;34637963]public toilets. rather shit outside in a bush then use a public toilet.[/QUOTE] I shit in public toliets if I need to shit, because ya'know i'm not a nancy. Also myth busters.
We Asians shit, not sitting down, but crouching down, it's how we Asians shit and it's not going to change any time soon. Some facts: Many places around the world don't have nice toilets like these, or a toilet in general.
Waaait. Are you fucking kidding me? Some people crouch down on the toilet seats? Ugh. I mean, sure we did that in washrooms in the Middle East, because public toilets there were ceramic-lined holes in the floor. But not using Western toilets the way they're meant to be used equals shit everywhere. Because people can't aim properly at a large target less than a foot away.
[QUOTE=Bytecry;34637963]public toilets. rather shit outside in a bush then use a public toilet.[/QUOTE] I go the extra length at my university. I go up to the 7th floor of the administration building and use the washroom next to the university president's office. Its so incredibly clean.
Someone constantly pisses all over the floor AROUND this one particular toilet in my college. Probably should put signs like that up for people like him.

[QUOTE=garychencool;34638943]In some places in the world, it's nothing more than a hole in the ground.[/QUOTE] Yes. I've lived there. I'm saying that seat toilets are NOT meant to be used the same way.

"toilet roll" refers to toilet paper? I was unaware of that difference between the US English and UK English. Unless of course it actually refers to the toilet paper cylinder that is in the center of each roll. But that wouldn't exactly be the best of things to flush.

I went to Swansea uni for 2 weeks last year. The state the toilets were in, I'm suprised they've only done this now. But it wasn't all that bad, I had a brass band stalk me around campus playing the Pink Panther theme song.

Seems like squatting is a much better option, it doesn't matter how awfully disgusting it is since the only part of you that touches anything is the bottom of your shoes.

I would find this very silly if it wasn't for the fact that [B]nobody in the fucking world seems to know how to use the fucking toilets of a public restroom[/B]
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34677198]in canada we discard all the paper padding and wipe our ass on the cardboard cylinder[/QUOTE] We do this here in America too.
gonna print some of these off and put them up at school, maybe now they'll stop pissing on the seat and floor and leaving shit all over the place (they drew on the wall with it once)
