Some women at work complained about other women 'squatting' or standing on the toilet seat to use the facilities. Leave it to Jake to explain the cultural differences that lead to this behavior.
We have a lot of Asian immigrants working at our factory. The most popular kind of toilet in Asia (and in many other parts of the world) has the individual squatting over it while facing the plumbing. If you find this method of personal waste disposal hard to wrap your head around, you have obviously never roughed it in the woods.
Try to imagine growing up with this style of toilet where one's body never comes into contact with any of the actual device. Now imagine the horror of someone explaining that you should now place your buttocks ON the device while SITTING! Civilized? Why, we're all a bunch of unsanitary, unnatural monsters.
It's akin to explaining how you should place a thin piece of tissue paper in your hand and wipe your bum to an individual who has grown up around bidets. Disgusting!

...Or using the same hand to wipe and eat.
My family just had a heated (and drunken) debate over crinkling vs. folding toilet paper. Let me just say that the person who was the most ardent supporter of the fold method was the only one present who needed a seperate ass cloth in the shower.
I'm just sayin...
A factory my friend worked at had a problem with Somali men standing on the regular toilets,not the urinals, and pissing into them very sloppily.
Being a camper, I do understand the concept of this device.
As an aside, nothing will make you take care of your business faster then hearing the buzzing of insects in the stinking hole of the outhouse.
On some of our job sites in the desert the crews are predominantly Mexican who grew up using newspaper and poor plumbing, if any. As a result, there is always a large wastebasket next to the toilet. Just in case you thought 120 degrees in a Honey Bucket wasn't bad enough in and of itself.
As for myself, I'm one of those people who uses a paper towel to open the door.
PS, Fuck air dryers.
