One of the most interesting I saw was a toilet where you basically poo poo on a shelf, then it's washed away. I saw it in Hungary but apparently they're common in Germany too. - It wasn't technically a public toilet, it was at a restaurant

The automatic toilets I encountered during a trip in the US all made weird noises like a baby crying. Ours up in Canada didn't make that squealing sound. Caught me off guard everytime.

The ones in London are actually not that terrible. Most of them you have to pay like 30p to get in and I guess they use that money to make them not poo poo holes.

If they're anything like the ones in manchester, don't bother paying, pull the turnstile back to you a little bit, you can squeeze through easily enough, or just jump over.

So what you do, you take a poo poo on the floor, when taken to court, you say you didnt have 30p to pay for the loo. you should get away with a few hours of community service, probably picking up poo poo. But on the bright side you'll have many laughs while people try to stop you making GBS threads whilst arresting you.

Why? Because Starbucks are generally cleaner so you don't have to worry about wiping piss off the seat.

It's been my experience that front desk people just really don't care. Back when my wife and I would do the camp out all night for Best Buy Black Friday thing (more for fun than profit), hotels were the best places to use the restroom. Just walk on by the front desk, say hi, then do your thing.

Adding "Toilet defender" to the front desk clerks' job description would be more trouble than it was worth for management.

Throwing toilet paper in a bin is horrible and I always refuse to do it. Causing somewhat clogged pipes is still better than putting poo poo paper in a bin out in the open. I'd rather poo poo out side and use a leaf, even.

Once I saw a toilet with poo poo piled higher than the seat. Like gutter punks just kept adding to it.

Japanese public schools tend to have squatters for "cultural training."

I prefer the totally flat 3rd world squatters. Japanese squatters have this loving rim that just makes water and piss pool on the floor.

In the village where my granddad lived in China, they just piled the poo in the corner with a shovel until some poor sap comes to clean it up. I was like 4 at the time so it looked monstrously big but it probably wasn't as big as I remembered. Oh and the smell. The horror! the horror!

This was in a rural part of Guangdong, China. The place is falling apart now since nearly all the youth are opting to leave for the cities.

You've got to question the mentality of the people who kept making GBS threads into a toilet that's collecting poo several inches high.

To be fair a lot of those signs are posted by old folks who just assume the pipes can't handle it. I don't know how many times I've seen bins full of poo poo paper and a toilet that sounds like a 747 taking off.

so there's this slavoj zizek video about ideology and toilets which is pretty funny if you're into that sorta thing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AwTJXHNP0bg

by far the worst public bathrooms I've visited were in China, no doors on the squatter stalls might seem very communal and even slightly old school Roman, but it really put me off my game.

One thing I'm feeling kinda anxious about is the probability of needing to poo poo while traveling from the U.S. to Thailand via airplanes. Does anyone have any tips or strategies for making GBS threads while engaged in long airplane journeys that they'd like to share?

My trip will have 2 stops/layovers (3 flights). The first layover (in an American city) will be 3 hours and 45 minutes long, and the second layover (in an Asian city) will be 2 hours and 30 minutes long. I assume that making GBS threads in an airport would generally be preferable over making GBS threads on an airplane, but I would hate to miss a flight as a result of having lost track of time while wiping my rear end in an airport restroom.

peanut

Is this your first cross-ocean flight? Your layovers are plenty long. You'll find toilets everywhere near departure/arrival gates. Airplane toilets are fine unless you're too fat to fit in.
The Thai toilets outside of your hotel room, however, will probably be squatters with a faucet and a bucket for manual flushing.

Drop a deuce on the plane once everyone's asleep. Flights to Asia from America are like 12-17 hours, you're just taking your revenge on the rear end in a top hat parents who won't discipline their kids.
