Toilet brushes in Taiwan

Lighten up, it isn’t a complaint, it is banter.

Really?!

@NomadCapitalist

I was horrified to see the toilet brushes in some public toilets in Taiwan hanging in the air … Please tell me I just came across particularly grim examples of public toilets, and it isn’t what Taiwanese do as the norm in both private and public toilets?

Nah, that certainly comes across as a complaint, and an odd one at that.

It is the same type of humor. Some get it, others don’t. The fact I used superlatives for the mundane were the hints.

I am light, though I’d say the same to you about lightening up - this just seems like an odd thing for someone to whinge about. You appear to be having a lot of challenges in Taiwan, between your toilet brush horrors, not being able to find routine items like meat cleavers, getting ripped off by a bitcoin ATM, almost getting hit by a Tesla, your daily commutes from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and whatever else.

Calling it “banter” or “humor” would be a stretch, and judging from this you’re no Gary Larson…

When the joke police arrive, it is time to move on . G’day.

Some attempts at humor don’t even need the joke police. If the only one who gets it is the “comedian”, it might not be the audience’s fault…

When they clean all the toilets with the same rag and don’t even wipe it dry…

At least I complained loudly and enough to where people stopped leaving their nasty shit unflushed.

When a bowl is clogged and the sausage drifts on top, that’s nasty.

If you will eat in night markets…
