They have public bathrooms? Lucky.
I read this as “public fatalities” and got confused
Apropos of nothing. I was dying for a piss at Piccadilly Circus in London late at night and I saw a public toilet entrance. I approached it a d this random bloke was standing there asking I’d I wanted a blowjob for a tenner. I said, no thanks. Then he gave me a look, and said I’m not going to be doing it! I still said, yeah but no thanks still. He then said, fine, £5. I was like, I’m not looking for a discount here buddy.
Anyways, I walked away and had to hold it till I got to the station. I assume he had mates or something at the toilets that were gonna mug me or something when I got in.
In Vancouver, BC. There are public toilets here. Big self cleaning stainless steel boxes on the sidewalk. Go in, have your piss. Except there’s also a huge drugged out street population too. So I’m walking Robeson St and I see a wasted guy pissing on the outside of the toilet in broad daylight. I’m like, he’s missing the mark in more ways than one!
Meanwhile Germans are going: “wait, that’s not the norm?”
You guys have public toilets?
Maybe we should just privatize the public toilets, that should fix the problem.
In Manchester around Piccadilly Gardens the only remaining public toilets are in the Arndale Centre, so when the pubs empty out and that’s all closed up there are no public toilets. But there are the glass fronts of corporate offices in quiet backstreets.
thats how you get paris level public urination levels.
do you want that?
I read this as toilet dessert and got confused
You’ve never snacked on a urinal cake?
The forbidden creme brulee
I feel like it would be classified as a pudding for some reason. I watch a lot of British TV and still don’t understand their version of puddings.
“Pudding” and “dessert” are pretty much synonymous in the UK, though it probably varies regionally. If someone said “pudding” in a dessert sense, they’re more likely to be talking about a baked dish than, say, ice cream or pie.
“Pudding” is historically also a broader term, and can also describe some specific savoury dishes, but it’s old fashioned.
Let them eat cake.
Came here to say this. To the guillotine with you!
That explains the increasing amounts of sewage detected in their waterways. Due to lack of public toilets, people go back do doing their business the old fashioned way.
No, that’s just the privately owned water utility companies dumping untreated shit in the rivers to save money for dividends. It’s free market efficiency, we’re told.
Have you been to a rest stop near the German Autobahn recently? The toilets charge 70 cents or 1 Euro (even just to pee). Because of those ridiculous prices all the truckers started going number 1 and 2 in the bushes years ago - It is seriously disgusting, you can’t even take a dog for a walk there anymore.
Idk, I would gladly pay 1€ for a clean toilet, even for peeing. If it costs money and is a pigsty on the other hand…
Because of those ridiculous prices
Water costs money, electricity costs money, toilets cost money to maintain and people who clean them cost money.
They make enough money from selling gas, food and coffee at a huge mark up. Pissing and shitting are basic human needs and should be free. It helps nobody that the grass and bushes are turned into a disgusting piss and fecal matter biosphere.
Yeah but it’s refundable if you buy something
Only partly and they refuse to accept multiple vouchers at once these days. As someone with a weak bladder and IBS I often collect 5 of these vouchers on an 7 hour drive so have my whole glove box stuffed with them by now*
You can’t let your dog shit in the bushes because there’s too much shit in the bushes?
Oh no!I actually pick up my dogs poop when we go for walks, as does everyone in Switzerland. I don’t know why that’s so uncommon in other countries.
The point is, you can’t take your dog for a walk around human feces - it’s disgusting!
You take your dog for a walk by the autobahn? Are there not nicer places to go?
I assume they mean taking their dog for a walk when they stop at a rest stop. Dogs need the toilet during long journeys too.
Yeah, I drive from Zurich to Northern Germany every other month.
Consider taking the grain, much more relaxed. And much cleaner. Zürich-Berlin or Zürich-Hamburg is just ~8h, and you can relax or work during that time.
I would love to, unfortunatley the village I am heading to is pretty much disconnected from public transport and my parents don’t drive anymore so it’s better if I bring a car to run errands for them as well.
The noble goal of austerity comes
at a costcaked in shit.
