Well, I don’t want to break the chain of talk about bathrooms and airing out private parts but…
Today was seated at a crowded noodle restaurant. A lady comes up behind me pushing a very large baby carriage. She can’t fit it in the space between my table and next table…so a guy at the other table and I both stand up and try to make room for her. I was thinking how troublesome to be a mom. As the carriage passes by I see a big dog inside.
I don’t know about the unwritten rules in a female locker room, but in a male locker room the rule is no wandering eyes. So the hair dryer drying your junk is kind of like “look at me, go ahead look right here at me drying my privates.” I just feel like socking the guy and telling him to do that kind of stuff at home.
Look Ma, no hands
Based on what I’ve observed over the years, I think this gets to the heart of a lot of issues: the public / private space distinction many of us on forumosa are used to doesn’t work in the same way for many people in Taiwan. Whether it’s watching grandma clip her toenails with her feet up on the tray on a train, or grandpa wandering around in his underwear in the local 7-11, or the dryergate case discussed above, a lot of the cases seem to fit into this pattern.

She is a mom: a furry kid mom.
That’s got to be a classic post. Do we still have those?
This locker room talk just reminded me of a coworker telling me he went to the gym about 6 or 7 years ago.
He went in the sauna. Another guy joined him and started wanking. I’ve wanted to use the sauna in the past but I’m too scared now.
My other mate told me about an ex who was sitting at a bus stop one night. I guess 15 years back. A guy started wanking next to her.
Wank things in Taiwan
The headline is wack… Wonder what the story is about
Just imagine, a hen laying eggs! I’m on the edge of my seat awaiting an update.
Is there any rhyme or reason to the numbering of MRT exits? Sure doesn’t seem to be. It’d be helpful if like, all odd exits were on the north of the road, and even on the south…
In some cases, it depends on the order in which they were constructed.
They are obviously on different sides of the wall. You’re facing different directions when you look at each one. It makes perfect sense.
Ah, the controversial layout of MRT maps in Taipei! They are aligned to the direction you are facing when looking squarely at the map. For some people, this is intuitive and makes sense immediately. For others, it appears to be more baffling than a zen koan.

After looking at a lot of them on Maps now, I conclude they’re mostly numbered counter-clockwise, with #1 being north-west, so usually 2 is south-west and 3 is south-east, but depending on the number of exits and the orientation of the track, it can vary
Did you ever have a closer look at a men’s urinal?
Lucky you’re not on a crowded Japanese metro car.
You got me curious… Why?
