30 Weird Things About Bathrooms In Other Countries

We all know that the most comfortable place in the world is none other than our own homes. There’s simply no place like it. But, would you agree that inside your home, there are two places that you are the most comfortable in? The first one would be your bedroom. And the other? The bathroom!
Yes, it is a place where you can be who you are. No one is around to judge you, and it is somewhere you can be true to your nature. If you think that your bathroom is not as perfect as you would want it to be, I suggest that you take a look at these 30 unusual bathrooms in other countries. By the end of the list, you will surely realize that your bathroom is way better than most!
1. The right way to use toilets in Japan
Japan is not like any other country when it comes to its bathrooms. In Kyoto, particularly, bathroom keepers always have a hard time reminding tourists of the right way of using their toilets. They get so fed up with all the smelly mess they have to clean that they decided to put up stickers such as these so tourists would know the right way of using their toilets.

2. Be ready to meet an old woman in the bathroom
In South Korea, it is an accepted fact that old women are often assigned to clean public bathrooms. If you happen to see one in yours, just relax and let them do their job.

3. Don’t pee on the bidet when you go to Spain
If you plan on going to Spain, make sure that you understand the way their bathrooms work. Normally, their bathrooms have two toilet bowls: one for doing your “business” and the other for when you need to use the bidet. You might get confused and pee on the one with the bidet, so be careful.

4. Snakes coming out of toilets in Australia
In Australia, especially during the dry season, snakes tend to look for places where they can get the hydration they need. They normally find this in the toilets, and they crawl inside to get their much-needed water. These snakes may be non-venomous but still, the fright of seeing one coming out of a toilet bowl is definitely a big no-no.

5. Open-air urinals in France
If you happen to be in Paris, France, you might notice red mailbox looking urinals lining the Seine River near the Notre Dame Cathedral. These were built in August 2018 to keep public urination in check. These eco-friendly urinals have a layer of straw and sawdust inside to keep odors at bay. The straw can then be used as compost.

6. Sharing was big in the toilets of Ancient Rome
In Ancient Rome, there used to be a common sponge that everyone used to wipe themselves with. Aren’t you just glad that those days are behind us?

7. Construction issued in Russian toilets
Although this does not mean that all toilets in Russia are poorly made, there are quite a number of facilities that were found to be unusual and practically some of the worst bathrooms in these modern times. Toilets were found to be placed side-by-side without partitions and lids are screwed on the opposite way.

8. About 50% of Indians don’t have their own toilets
The sad part about all this is that almost half of the Indian population are forced to publicly urinate and defecate because of lack of facilities. Furthermore, the incorrect waste disposal that is being done by the people also leads to more cases of water-borne diseases among women and children.

9. Bring your own toilet paper when you go to Cuba
Apparently, Cuba was not ready to accept the huge influx of tourists that decided to visit the country when it opened up for tourism. There wasn’t a sufficient amount of paper products which led to no available paper in its public bathrooms. If you plan to visit Cuba, it’s best to bring your own stash of toilet paper.

10. Welcoming strangers in Scotland
Most people think that the tradition of Scotland where strangers are allowed to use the bathroom originates from a law that was passed ages ago. However, the fact is that this is part of old customs and not actually a law. The next time a stranger knocks on your door and asks if they can take a dump in your toilet, make sure you let them know of this fact.

11. Sweden charged for the use of all its public bathrooms
If you are hoping to find a public bathroom in Sweden that does not charge, then you are in for a major heartbreak. Apparently, all public bathrooms in Sweden require a charge before you can even pee in them.

12. Egyptian toilet paper is not free
Are you planning to go to Egypt? If you are, you simply need to remember one fact about their public bathrooms. You cannot get their toilet paper for free! It’s always better to bring extra change whenever you go out so you won’t have to worry about buying toilet paper when you badly need to use the bathroom.

13. Scarcity of public bathrooms in Poland
There are only a few public bathrooms in Poland. If you plan on exploring the country, make sure that you remember where the scarce public toilets are once you get in a specific area. Just think of it as finding and taking note of the “emergency exits” before going anywhere.

14. Artistic public bathrooms in New Zealand
In New Zealand, public toilets are not considered eyesores but as artistic venues where the people can see artistry and creativity. The materials used are from recycled items which makes the public bathrooms not only artistic but eco-friendly as well.

15. Artistic toilets in ancient France
During the old times in France, public toilets were more than just common urinals. They were considered installations made to showcase art.

16. Best of luck in flushing things in Brazil
Because of terrible plumbing systems, Brazil is known to have public toilets that need multiple flushes before “things” can finally go down. Another downside? Brazilian public toilets also have leather toilet seats.

17. Irish people are not fond of public toilets
Rather than using public toilets, Irish people prefer to use their own private facilities. Almost the entire population are phobic when it comes to using public bathrooms.

18. Wastes go straight to the ocean
Antarctica opts to just dump their waste into the ocean. How in the world are you going to install plumbing systems in a place full of ice? It may be possible, but we don’t know when that will finally happen.

19. Toilets can’t flush paper in Mexico
The thing about Mexico’s plumbing is that it cannot handle toilet paper. Instead, you must throw the toilet paper in the trash bin that is usually placed beside the toilet.

20. Primitive toilets in China
Chinese public bathrooms are often just holes in the ground and are unisex. Are you willing to share a public “hole in the ground” with strangers?

21. Privacy in German bathrooms
Apparently, bathrooms in Germany are big on privacy. Did you hear the sarcasm in that statement? Just be prepared to encounter these kinds of bathrooms when you decide to go to Germany. You’ll be on display.

22. Don’t forget your toilet paper when you go to Laos
The population in Laos is so sparse that you might want to bring your toilet paper with you. In case you need to heed the call of nature, you are ready even if the house you’re staying in is far from the main town.

23. Precious toilet paper in Chile
Even toilet paper is stolen in Chile. Because of the rampant theft of toilet paper, public bathrooms now do not have toilet paper in them. If you plan to explore Chile, make sure that you are always bringing your own toilet paper.

24. Spraying is the norm in Thailand
Before going to Thailand, make sure that you know about the way they use their bidets there. The bidets are actually water sprays and sometimes, there is no toilet paper around that you can use to wipe yourself.

25. Introducing the private bathrooms in Malawi
In Malawi, private bathrooms are still in the introductory stage. A private bathroom in Malawi looks just like the one in the picture. It may seem primitive but, in fairness, it is a big improvement for the country.

26. Streets serve as public bathrooms in Peru
Do not be shocked if you go to Peru and see someone occasionally decide to urinate on the street. This is a normal thing that Peruvians do from time to time.

27. You always have a target in public bathrooms in Iceland
In Iceland, men’s urinals are often built with targets pasted on them. These targets can be from different themes an one of the weirdest would have to be when they use faces of actual people!

28. Indonesian public bathrooms are the same as Thailand
Indonesian bathrooms are basically the same as Thailand or any other Asian country. Bidets spray water and you may need to make sure that toilet paper is always available by bringing your own all the time.

29. Three-way urinals in Belgium
The urinals in Belgium are not only made to be used by three people at the same time, but they are also very public! Take a look at this image taken while men publicly urinate during a festival. It’s totally a normal thing for them to see!

30. A public bathroom in a Ukrainian orphanage
This one is just sad. Orphans and anyone for that matter deserve to have a decent bathroom. Kids in this Ukrainian orphanage deserve to have a better bathroom than this hole in the ground.

After going through this list, I’m pretty sure you now know that your bathroom is definitely better than most around the globe. You gotta appreciate what you have and just be thankful that yours is working right and that toilet paper is not an issue at all.
On a more serious note, we need to know that countries around the world have their own sets of beliefs and practices. We should always remember to respect that, even if it means bringing our own toilet paper every single time we visit.

Lazy People Solutions That Defy Common Sense

There’s the right way of doing things, and then there’s the wrong way of doing things. But how can a solution be wrong when it’s faster? This is how.
Every day, we go through small internal battles. We argue with ourselves over doing things right or doing things fast. The 40 people ahead all opted to do things fast. And the consequences came even faster as a result!

It’s as good as new.
If you look closely, you’ll be able to see that some of the column uses new wood. Thanks to this restoration, the roof that the column’s holding up should stay in place for weeks. Warning: Do not play Jenga with this!

For once, the sockets are making the right expression
Drilling metal screws into the plugs? What could possibly go wrong? The weird thing about this one is that it actually took some effort to do something so stupid.

Looks sturdy
Calm down, there’s some plastic tape. No one could possibly walk over the gap with that tape in place. Right?

Does the Cookie Monster live there?
This is why health and safety laws have to exist. Trash and food should not mix! At least he’s wearing a hairnet.

Who needs one of those fancy red extinguishers?
The beauty of this device is that it’s easy to refill. And you can drink from it too! Why does anyone use normal fire extinguishers?

The company rules said no, but her sneakers said, “Just Do It!”
So this is why sneakers can’t be managers! In reality, this is a company issue. They need to buy bigger stepladders!

Was this builder a pirate in a past life?
That or they were inspired by the whole, “walk the plank,” spirit. They can probably also make amazing card towers. Also, what is that platform/plank thing?

Prevention is better than cure
Why have an emergency when you can just not have an emergency? This is some of the best self help advice out there. That phone should write a motivational book.

Because hauling them up one at a time would take longer
If the wire starts breaking, just grab on to the hook. See. It’s not like there isn’t an emergency plan.

Simply avoid the metal spikes
Yes, that is the only entrance to the building. At least there are two planks. All that pressure on the employer paid off!

They complained that there was no heating in the worksite
It’s ok, the flame was quite far from the wooden studs. Just hope that it doesn’t roll off the ladder. Because that floor is also made of wood.

Always remember the soft landing!
The sign has a point. Slipping and falling hard hurts. So just slip and fall slow and soft from now on!

What’s more dangerous, the fire or the escape route?
If you fall, grab one of those wires. Imagine studying at this college. What are their public safety degrees like?

Watching a scary movie in this seat is not advised
Sure, there’s being lax about health and safety, and then there’s actually setting a deathtrap. This definitely veers into the latter! Someone get that guy a hardhat!

Calm down, it’s a church. Jesus will protect him
Was he trying to fix the roof or trying to reach heaven? With this method, he’ll get there one way or the other. Or maybe that other place with the fire and stuff.

There’s something fishy going on here
On the plus side, that fish can be sold at a discount! And the shoe dirt will give it extra flavor. Yum!

What happens on Craigslist stays on Craigslist
Would you be able to sell this without being consumed by guilt? He lost two fingers. Who knows that the next accident will do?

First thing’s first, don’t panic!
Fixing the door? That takes time. Writing a note? That’s quick!

In a way, he’s literally sleeping on air
And soon, he’ll be sleeping under that air. Does this make you proud to be American? He’s so fearless!

They protect the toes don’t they?
Again, this is one of those lazy solutions that end up taking more effort than doing it properly. Some people are so determined to be lazy that they put in tons of effort. What heroes.

At least they put the cone out to warn them
Seeing that cone will be so reassuring after you’ve broken your leg. Maybe the manager meant that they should put the cone outside of the hole? Hey, they don’t get paid to think sensibly.

This warning could save your life if you didn’t see it
Is this tag made from paper from a tree that fell when no one was around to hear it? Also, why is there a full stop after the word “found”? That’s the real issue here.

They asked him if he had secured the scaffolding.
His response was that he had, “nailed it.” It’s ok. If you look closely, you’ll notice that there’s also a cable tie.

It’s only a 25 foot drop
If you do fall, simply aim for the trash. It looks pretty soft. It must be a joy to work here.

It’s just a thin tile
What makes this tile extra special is that it can also send something all around the world. Will it get past the fire inspector? It would fool me.

The light switch pan is filling up again
Leaky light switches are the worst. And by worst, I mean deadliest. Perhaps a wider pan would fix it?

Like to or love to?
If only there was a place that we could put things that don’t work. Just think, we could employ people to take these things away. Perhaps we could even reuse parts of these broken things in non-broken things?

Cones to the rescue again
It took a while to put them down. But now that they are down, everyone can get back to work. Who wants to play with the forklift next?

One day, they’ll invent an elevator that doesn’t share its “off” button with a lightswitch
And before anyone complains, they underlined the words “do not.” They like to be extra cautious like that! What’s the longest someone’s been trapped in the elevator here?

Thank you, essential workers!
Imagine if one of them was super valuable. As in, it was a priceless first edition. You’d have to risk collapse to get it out!
Whose bright idea was this?
Does anyone else feel like they could get an electric shock from just looking at a picture of it? And tetanus. And splinters.
When you get annoyed at all the people honking
Because, when it lands on the road, it isn’t a problem any more. Fun fact: this truck got pulled over pretty soon. Another fun fact: the driver lost their license.

This is actually pretty ingenious
If the cone were the other way around, it could blow away. Now the hole is basically fixed. And it got fixed in record time!

Daily!
There must have been a lot of dust on that day. That or someone was blatantly disregarding the notice. But who would do that?

So that’s why they were so cheap
Perhaps they shrank in the wash? At least the mice will be warned. And the city saved $3 of taxpayer money.
Is there anything that cones can’t do?
It’s fine. The electrical wire in the water is insulated with rubber. Whoever thought this up is so smart.
The emergency hammer kept on falling off
So of course they cable tied it on. Now it can never come loose. Not even in an emergency.

This is literally a man cave
Bet all the women are jealous that they can’t get man caves now. Sadly, this is just seconds away from being a man cave in. It was fun while it lasted.
Why waste the money on renting a vehicle when you can just buy more straps?
In his defense, he only had to transport them 300 miles. But did he make it before the load squished him? We don’t know.

The worst that will happen is that the plugs will have a bath
Visit this restaurant before it burns down! At least they had the foresight to put a towel under the tank. That made all the difference…

Next time you’re feeling down, just think, at least you weren’t behind any of these dumb disasters!

10+ People That Had No Idea How Attractive They Were Until They Worked To Improve Themselves

Sometimes when your health is out of balance you can’t see yourself clearly. When people struggle with something physical, like weight, they can’t always see how beautiful they really are. These people didn’t even realize how attractive they were until they worked on themselves, but now they can celebrate their appearances every day.
These 30 people have powerful stories, and their transformations are absolutely amazing. Their messages are so inspiring.
“I lost 100 lbs, and I feel great.”

“It took me 2 years and 3 months to get in shape. It sounds like a lot of time, but it was well worth it.”

“I made true friends, and they helped me to have a more active lifestyle. That’s how I managed to lose weight. Now I can communicate with any person.”

“The difference between these 2 photos is 4 years. And I was even used to not enjoying what I looked like.”

“Me when I was 19 and 21.”

“I was depressed because of the way I looked. I didn’t even want to live. But I decided that I was able to change everything, so I started losing weight… I feel great, and I’m enjoying my life!”

“I didn’t use to be really fat. I had a hard time choosing the right hairstyle.”

“I used to weigh 60 lb, now I weigh 90, and I keep working on my body.”

“3 years between these photos. Some people don’t believe that it’s me.”

“So much has changed in 3 years! Before, I didn’t get out much. I was very shy. Now we live in a time when changing your appearance is very easy.”

“Just 4 years, and this is what I’ve become (I’m on the right).”



“I didn’t do anything special, but I’m not ugly anymore.”

“I restored what was destroyed by 20 years of McDonald’s and Coke.”

“15 months later I finally have a chin! Now I’m doing everything I can to maintain my weight.”

“I lost 100 lb, and I keep working on my body.”

“The difference is just 4 years. I was a nerd, and now I’m a macho.”

“The difference between these photos is 25 months. I had always been fat, so I decided that I could lose weight.”

“My weight was 330 lb when I finally decided to start losing weight… But now I have a new goal — 180 lb. I’ve started my way to it! I wish you luck too.”

“The difference between these photos is 20 months. I lost weight, and now I’m not shy about the natural structure of my hair.”

“This is my progress.”

“Now I am 25, I lost 120 lb, and I work out every day.”

“This is my boyfriend at the age of 16 and 21. It’s hard to tell that it’s the same person.”


“I knew I owed it to my son to try to break the family tree of obesity. There are so many compromises to being an obese parent: I was simply forfeiting the ability to participate in so many wonderful moments.”

“As the pounds started to come off, I noticed a change, but others didn’t — until the day I appeared outside of my office standing up.”
“My goal is to train and inspire people to show them that the weight loss is possible.”
“My dad pushed me and motivated me to start working out. He would tell me he wanted me to be around for a long time.”

50 Cringeworthy Fashion Fails We Can’t Believe People Didn’t Notice

Not all of us are fashion experts. This is why we try to experiment and mix and match clothes to see if we can look more stylish. Unfortunately, the more we try to look more fashionable, the more we end up failing. The risky fashion choice we make often leaves us looking ridiculous and weird in other people’s eyes.
Fortunately, fashion disasters aren’t always bad. In fact, they can be transformed into little entertainment and also a warning for others to never try to copy them.
Here are the most cringe-worthy fashion fails you need to see this year:
1. Brown logo on white shoes
In theory, putting a brown logo on a white background will make a product look classy. In reality, a brown logo on white shoes just looks like bird poo from afar.

2. A not-so-comfortable evening dress
This is probably one of the most uncomfortable dresses you’ll see. I don’t think you’ll have a great time wearing this to a party or anywhere.

3. When you accidentally stepped on something
This is actually a good pair of shoes if you always walk on mud or dirt. You won’t have to worry about cleaning your shoes. Plus, its design can work as camouflage for when you accidentally stepped on your dog’s poo.

4. Undecided
Will you give up or will you never give up? Well, it’s a good shirt to wear if you still can’t decide. At least, you’re letting other people know where you stand.

5. The letter “G”
There’s nothing wrong with being gay. However, if you are seriously working on showing support to your team, you might want to find another way to do that.

6. Wrong idea
For an introvert, you might find this shirt uncomfortable. It’s like whoever designed it clearly doesn’t know what introverts are like.

7. The crotch
The crotch on these pants doesn’t look like it’s intentionally designed that way. Otherwise, why is it totally misaligned?

8. Lost
Is this in New York or is this in London? I guess the designer is quite as confused as we are.

9. Your Saturday sweater
This sweater’s design is actually cute. Just make sure you don’t pull it taut like that or else, Saturday becomes Turd day.

10. At a candy shop
This is a children’s shirt in a candy shop. It might look harmless but the sexual connotations are quite disturbing.

11. The irony
The way this shirt is marketed is quite confusing. Should you not iron it because it doesn’t look wrinkly or should you not iron it because it’s designed to look wrinkled?

12. The saggy bunny ears
There could have been a better spot for those bunny ears. The way they are sagging at those points looks a bit weird.

13. When you want to look sick
Even if your favorite color is purple, I don’t think you should get these tights. They can make you look like you’re covered in bruises.

14. No, thanks.
This is probably not the best design to have on your swimsuit. Apart from that it’s a children’s character, the theme creates a different connotation.

15. A practical jacket?
This jacket’s design is a bit spooky. It’s like something you’d wear if you’re planning to rob a bank or if you’re aiming to look like a snowman.

16. Is that even a donut?
Without the label, no one would think that it’s a donut. It looks more like someone’s backside.

17. Buy what?
You’ll have to take a closer look for you to actually understand what this shirt is trying to say. The image at the bottom is a glass and the text is supposed to mean “shot”.

18. That “part”
The dress would look nicer if the bottom part wasn’t designed that way. It forms something you can only find in men.

19. Nothing sexual here.
This is a wrestling patch. Despite what it looks like, there’s nothing sexual there.

20. The popping shoes
These shoes can make it easier and safer for you to walk on smooth surfaces. The only issue is the popping sound they make with each step.

21. Just spell it
Using images to replace a letter can make a design look extra nice. However, you just have to make sure that the image actually looks like the letter. Otherwise, you’ll end up making something like this one.

22. Look closely
This shirt is empowering. I’m just hoping that whoever made it counted the fingers before releasing it.

23. Quite distracting
There are dresses that shouldn’t be worn during formal interviews. This is one of those dresses.

24. Crappy design
If you ever pooped on yourself by accident, this is the dress that’ll save your day. On a regular day, however, I think it’s best to avoid this dress and this design.

25. What if you missed the front?
If you are going to issue a warning, it’s best to keep it all in one area. That way, you won’t look like you are actually encouraging a negative behavior like this one.

26. It’s not what you think.
If you’re going to wear a shirt with beads on, think twice about wearing a jacket over it. You might end up looking like this and it’s awkward.

27. Hood on or off
This is the type of jacket you wouldn’t want to wear with the hood off. It sends the wrong message if you don’t put the hood on.

28. Emo?
Back then, this look was a hit among teenagers. Now, it’s something a lot of adults regret and it’s not hard to see why.

29. Not edgy
This look would have been better if she colored her hair completely. With just a few colored areas, it looked weird and awful. It’s like someone spilled paint on her head.

30. All black
In theory, wearing black will make you look slimmer and classier. I guess this photo proves that theory wrong.

31. Those eyes
Wearing a black eyeliner used to be a hit among teenage boys before. It’s a good thing that the phase ended already.

32. When you can’t decide which hairstyle to wear for the day
This hairstyle is quite confusing. It’s like she can’t decide if she wanted dreadlocks or straight hair. It’s a good thing her hair and shirt match.

33. The 2000 glam
This photo summarizes the fashion trend of 2000. Those glossy lips, orange glasses, and twisted hair are just on point.

34. Those eyebrows and lips
It looked like this guy got confused about colors. Pink should go on the lips and black should go on the eyebrows- not

35. Every single day
Back in 2003, this guy used to leave the house looking like this. It’s a good thing that it’s 2020 now.

36. In love with bracelets
This 15-year-old had an immense love of pony bead bracelets. He’s nearly filled his entire arm and neck with them.

37. They thought they were cool.
There are so many things going on with these kids’ styles. From their hairstyles to their jackets and pants, it’s a good thing everything’s over now.

38. Her formal wear
Believe it or not, this kid wasn’t going to a Madonna concert. This was her outfit for the father-daughter church dance in her area.

39. Those baggy pants
Almost everyone in the 90s used to wear those baggy pants. They weren’t just cool back then but they’re quite comfortable, too.

40. Recycled dress
This wasn’t a phase. She just decided that it was a good idea to wear a dress made of trash bags and duct tapes.

41. White face
This woman has just discovered white face powder. It certainly took her style to a whole new level.

42. New male fashion
It’s hard to determine what the designer of this shirt is trying to achieve. This new male fashion certainly looks weird.

43. Would you wear it?
This shirt looks like it has been cut in half and sewn together without checking the alignment of the stripes. Intentional or not, it’s hard to believe that anyone would buy it.

44. Wrong orientation
Ariana Grande would have been proud of this shirt, if only her face wasn’t printed upside down.

45. A sweater for kids
Someone didn’t think hard while designing this. It looks more like “hell” instead of “hello”.

46. The new fashion
These hats prove that in today’s fashion, stains and tears are cool. You won’t have to worry about keeping your hats clean anymore.

47. This is high fashion.
It’s hard to understand why someone would buy this sweater. It’s even harder to understand why a sweater in this condition would cost nearly a thousand dollars.

48. Crazy expensive shoes
These shoes seriously looked like they’ve been picked up from the garbage can. You can clearly see hot glue and duct tape on it!

49. When fashion makes no sense
Sometimes, it’s hard to understand fashion. It can be as confusing as this zipper that has no pocket.

50. Speechless.
These pants are crazy. They are painful not just in the eyes but in the brain, too.
