also older taiwanese furniture isn’t very ergonomic, they just didn’t care about how well it functioned back then as long as it did what it was supposed to do
Well, … well… that might depend on the way you took when walking to the toilet bowl. I mean… how shall I put that. Certain cubicals along the way may have certain inhabitants with certain closing habits and then …
Reminds of a Dutch guy I once knew, complaining about the toilets in the Netherlands having ‘inspection plates’. Apparently, a suitably long and firm loaf might touch the plate and fall forwards, a bit like a tree falling over, into the genitals, causing a condition known as ‘shit balls’ or, alternatively, ‘shit dick’, depending on the man’s proportions.
It’s happened to me in a few places here and really freaked me out too. Most recently in one of the older toilets at the NTU sports center … a few others. Yuck!
Only this one time I had to squat on a toilet in the MRT while drunk and rubbed my penis against that raised part all of them have and that is just marginally cleaner than the bowl itself. I spent the next few weeks worrying about my junk developing some unknown, horrible and crippling disease. Nothing happened, but a lesson was learnt.
