    American toilets gave me culture shock

    They’re so shallow that you can’t even sit down without your balls touching the bowl or the water

      I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.

      On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn’t splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes “timber”.

        I think you mean high stall walls and not low. You’re talking about the huge gap so the janitors can sweep and mop easier.

          No, I meant that I literally could see people taking a shit when walking in the restrooms at several places, because the walls were just ~180cm high (and I am taller than 180cm).

            I’ve never seen stall walls that short but usually when I’m sitting, I would not be able to see over it. Generally the giant gaps between panels are enough to let someone see you from the door.
