How are you expected to know this as a visitor? Do they have signs telling you?

Generally, yes, except at the high speed rail stations way out of town. Everywhere else will have a sign telling you not to drop tissue in the toilet, and a bin next to it for your dirty tissues.

If you're extra careful you can de-laminate the roll and use that...it's a bit harsh but works.

I've done this before, worked a treat. You can get surprisingly thin sheets.

Also... slightly concerned about what circumstances the blue light would be used in... Surely yellow covers all eventualities which could lead to unavailability?

Maybe the yellow is used when the toilet is broken and the blue is used when the horror of horrors happens and someone blocks the toilet and a mountain of **** floats about in the bowl. The toilets not officially broken, but it needs investigating and unblocking. Just waiting for the lucky chap to come and sort it out.

Needed a good laugh today, thread delivered to an exquisite level

I really don't like how the arrangement on the legend doesn't correspond with the arrangement on the diagram

I'm more annoyed with the use of 4 LEDs just poking through the front panel instead of an RGB unit and a nice lens.

Imagine trying to flush your boxers full of ****

Not happening!!
Flush until bowl has clean water in it then use it to "rinse the ringpiece" til clean..
Allow a few mins to dry (post on OcUK for eg)

then pull up intact boxers and exit cubicle..
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY

use the curtains if there are any

One sheet method. Grab a sheet and fold in half, then in half again. Tear the corner off and open it up, stick finger through hole and scrape the **** away. Once done grab paper and drag over finger to clean any residue. Take the little ripped of corner and use to clean under the nail. Wash hands and leave.

Maybe a lot of deaths in toilets over there? :confused:

The woman who took the photo of the Taiwanese toilet realtime display says on her blog that the blue LED signifies "anything from a leaking valve to a horrible dump".

And as for not putting paper down the toilets in Taiwan, doesn't that mean the room reeks of poo if you have to put it in the bin?

Depends on the disposal system or bin. Considering it is designed with this purpose, probably not.

Well the OP escaped but one could see the brown marks under his finger nails!! ewwwww

I was thinking about this a little bit last night.

What I should have done it just sat in the sink.

I hate using public toilets at the best of times. I've run in, done by business and THEN noticed they are out of paper

My options

1. Use soap and my hand

2. Clench cheeks and run to another cubicle. The issue here, is all the toilet doors open onto a lobby and there's loads of people outside

I'm not using my sock!

It's my hand isn't it

You should carry a pack of wet wipes with you for precisely this purpose. Having a clean bum hole is very satisfying.

This has to be the ultimate troll thread.

Why would you not check before having a dump if there was enough tissue?

Maybe he used all the paper to cover the manky public toilet seat, which was covered in spatters of all sorts of hideous bodily fluids and stains from the dark side, just like I do... When it comes to public toilets having OCD is a blessing :cool:
