The Hose

Dec 02, 2008 21:45

I overheard the DJ relating on radio yesterday a fairly amusing and disturbing incident. Apparently he was in the Johor Bahru city, Malaysia, when he had the urge to take a crap. He went into the nearest toilet in the shopping centre but discovered there was no toilet paper in the cubicle. The other cubicles in the same row were also missing the most important feature. So he ran to the other loos at the other floors, but to no avail.

It was then he noticed there was a hose attached to a tap in each of those cubicles. His conclusion: these rubber pipes were there in place of conventional toilet paper for you to hose yourself down after taking a dump!

He remarked quizzically how was one expected to dry his arse after using the hose? But my BIGGER question is: do our neighbours up North really use the water hose to clean their ass after taking a dump??!! Are you shitting me?! FOR REAL???? This is the city urban folks we're talking about, not some kampong area.

I cannot even begin to imagine how they go about washing up. For one, how the hell do you aim the hose properly at the right parts like, without using your hands????? What if some stray matter dribbles down your thighs into your socks and shoes? You gotta have your shoes on right?! RIGHT??? Otherwise you would be stepping on dirty, murky brown water!! Holy shit, it's so mind-boggling!!

I must first qualify that i have been to JB of course. Although pretty infrequent. And I have been to the toilets to pee, and nothing more. But if there was a lack of toilet paper in the loo, i'd have just assumed the mall management were too cheapskate to provide them. I certainly wouldnt associate the presence of a rubber hose as a substitute for paper. So is that DJ being over imaginative or what???? Are there really people who would use that method??

toilets, digusting
