And another one- if I'm drinking a drink with a straw, I fold up the straw in my mouth and chew it after I've finished the drink.

That's kinda hot.

I stand up to wipe my arse. I get the impression that most people do it sitting down and stick their hand in the toilet bowl or some shit, no pun intended.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Never seen it.

I don't have a cumbox

Tissues?

I thought standing up would be the norm.

I can move a vein in the back of my hand side to side 1cm by raising and dropping my middle finger.

sitting down allows spread and parting of cheeks thereby permitting and encouraging maximum wipage ability. the seat also grips your legs holding them in place.

i imagine standing up would squish everything. furthermore, how does one clean standing up as cheeks have fallen back into their natural position

 

[Cruyff14]

Hold a cheek with non wiping hand to spread it.

 

[Quivorir]

Most people have two hands and can use the other to spread...

How the **** do people that sit down to wipe do it in places like Thailand? The water in the toilets there fills the toilet so much your dick nearly touches it, wiping would be like running a turd gauntlett.

 

[Quivorir]

Well I live in Australia so its not a problem.

I went to India for the first time early last year, and their toilets are basically hole in the ground. Thankfully we stayed at 4-5 star resorts. But you'll see next to the 'hole in the ground' a pipe that squirts water. Basically, it's designed so that you squirt water up your rear end to clean everything out. My grandfather has heaps of these kind of stories.

 

[Gough]

My dick touches the water anyway. Hurr, hurr, hurr.

I don't go to Thailand.

When listening to podcasts, I like to go on Google Maps Street View and go places on it like I'm listening to the radio going on a long drive.

 

[WCErevival]

I'm amazed to find out a lot of people stand up while wiping. I used to do it as a kid but its not very efficient

 

[ioppolo]

I've never stood up...where would this habit even come from?

Let's not go down that path.

Instead of paying the fee for using an ATM not from my bank, I go inside the shopping centre and just get cash out from Coles/Safeway

 

[dales.girl38]

Who pays ATM fees?

A bidet. They are awesome. We should have them in Australia.

Not a bidet, I am not sure of the exact name of the equipment (I just call it a pipe), it's just a silver pipe thing that squirts out water, there is no sink/basin associated with the pipe.

Ok fair enough, I know what your talking about. I always thought a bidet could be either a fixed or the pipe you are taking about.

Either way they are awesome.

 

[Cruyff14]

If you use a bidet at someone else's house, are you meant to use the towel you would wipe your hands with on your bum?

I don't think you are meant to wipe your butt, otherwise they'd offer toilet paper.

But I don't understand the concept, why water the area and make it 'moist', when after all you are going to make your pants wet?
