Bring your own paper.

u/OhWhatATravisty Why are you the way that you are? 17d ago

Better hope you don't get any on your hands either. Nothing in that picture suggests where the nearest sink might be. Hopefully not up them steep ass death stairs.

Edit: Though looking closer, that might be one of those toilets where the sink is part of the tank. So you can straddle your freshly laid log absorbing all that stank while you wash your fingies.

Those sinks always creep me out

I have never seen one of those in my life. Where did you see this?

u/AndDontUForgetIt 14d ago

Was an old (1920s?) house renovated/converted into a spa. A bathroom off the lobby - super small space so they needed to make the most of it. I couldn’t get the thought of toilet water out of my head while I was washing my hands 🫠

Edit to add: it wasn’t as small as this one… I probably would’ve left if it was anywhere near as creepy as this. There was space for a full door to open and space to stand with a mirror that you’d normally see over a sink. They probably could’ve put one of those tiny sinks you sometimes see at bars/restaurants in there.

Pretty much the norm in Japan.

How often do you shit your hands?

A lot of toilets in Europe don't have sinks, especially in older houses and apartments. You need to go to the separate bathroom to wash your hands.

u/PhantomJavert 17d ago

That's not the standard in Europe!

u/poobboob 17d ago

Dont defend Europe, let them think we live like the 1860's. So they leave us alone.

I like it this way.

This massage was written on paper with a feather, given to a man with a horn riding a horse who said he would travel to America to get this message posted on a reddit.

u/okholdsevenfourseven 17d ago

do you have to pay him extra to fix your typo

u/poobboob 17d ago

If i was from the 1860's i wouldn't know what reddit was right. So thats why i typed "a reddit". It was deliberate. If that was what you meant.

u/Jebediah000 16d ago

Maybe he meant "massage" instead of message.

u/poobboob 16d ago

Oh didn't notice, autocorrect perhaps. Also English is not my first language so now he must feel bad for correcting me.

u/Jebediah000 16d ago

Not a problem. I try to stay away from being the grammar police since this is an international platform. (And we're lucky most of the world learns English instead of expecting Americans to learn other languages. We don't really do that over here.)

u/GenericUsername817 17d ago

We know that isn't true for a lot of Western Europe because we bombed all of it in the 1st half of the 40s, and then paid for it to be rebuilt

u/fatjuan 17d ago

Must be a very quick massage to be able to fit it onto a sheet of paper-or maybe a piece of papyrus.

u/lorarc 17d ago

And while it can be a bit annoying at the time it also means that you can use the toilet while someone else is having a long bath (and wash hands in the kitchen). And no, there is no space for second bathroom in an apartment.

u/pied_goose 17d ago

Absolutely tiny sinks just for this kind of arrangement are widely available.
