when nature calls

Have i ever mentioned how much i detests dirty stinky toilets? What? I haven't told you? Well i'm telling you now; i HATE dirty stinking toilets! But then again, who in the right mind would like it?

There are two types of bowls, the squatting type and the sitting type. I prefer the sitting type for the simplest reasons. Firstly, you have to squat, which is tiring. Then, i find myself being too close to the pee and shit for comfort. Also, the area around the bowl is, more often than not, wet, and you won't know if it's pee or just water.

Today i was in school and i went into a cubicle. It reeks of urine smell. The area on the floor around the bowl was wet. It's the sitting kind, mind you. If it's pee, i wonder how a person could miss the bowl and pee on the floor instead. The toilet roll was strewn all over the floor, maybe a desperate attempt to clean up the mess.

Then there are times when the flush is out of order and the toilet is so full of shit (quite literally) and there's also toilet paper and maybe traces of blood. You just have to use it lest you want to pee in your pants.

I'm totally terrified when i go abroad to countryside where there isn't a proper sewage system. You do your business into this hole filled with water. After you're done, you scoop water from this other pail to pour into the hole to flush your deposits away. Not to mention flies lurking around and mosquito lavae in the corner of the room ominously. You hurriedly get it over and done with and flee.

Of course, not all toilets are that bad. Some proves to be quite and experience. They are clean, air-conditioned and have music playing in the background. Every few seconds, air freshener will be released. There are huge mirrors and even couches. It lives up to the name of "restroom". A room for resting indeed.
