The Janitor

JANITOR?? What the heck is that? Some of us might never even heard of this word before, to make it simple, it's the commonly called toilet cleaner or the person who cleans the toilet. Here's a look of it.....

 I think none of us have the ambition of being a janitor. But who could of thought that a janitor can make 75USD per hour in General Motors (An automobile manufacturing company in US).

75USD per hour?? You have to admit that's a lot for a janitor, LOL. What's the purpose of us striving so hard to get a degree or a PHD? You can easily get a janitor job there, Let me help you do some calculations, let's say you are working 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. So, it's 75x8x5=3000USD a week, which means it's $12,000USD per month!!!!

Anyway, please show respect the janitors as they are doing some of the dirtiest jobs for us all. Do you want your toilet to look like this??? That's the reason why they are so highly paid ;p

Condoms In The Toilet

Vending machines. It's common all around the world. But I entered the toilets in US I saw something different. It's really rare in Asian countries especially in Islamic countries to see something this in toilets.

Yup, that's a condom vending machine inside a male toilet in US. It functions just like any other normal beverage vending machines. Gosh, does this encourage us to have safe inside the toilet? Definitely NO. It might be something new for Asians, but it's really common in developed countries. The purpose of installing condom vending machines inside toilets is to promote safe sex and to lower teenage pregnancies. But the findings shown in the statistics below is more amusing.

Hold on, how come US has got the highest teenage pregnancy rate? LOL. This means that whether having a condom vending machine or not in toilets doesn't really help anything. It's simply business for the condoms companies...

Having condom vending machines in toilets does help prevent AIDs spreading around. You wouldn't want to get infected with AIDs because of your first few sexes with your mates. So, please bear in mind to enjoy safe pleasure. Utilise the damn machine in the toilet or simply get one from the convenient shops ^^

Airplane Lavatory Myth?

Wow, that's a popular airline in Asia. A nice plane but have you all wonder how the airplane dispose the lavatory waste? First of all, for those who don't know what a lavatory is, lavatory is also the toilet in an airplane. For many years, I have the idea that the wastes(shit/urine) goes out of the plane just like what a bird does. Haha.

I later found out that it doesn't work that way because if it were like that, then there will be many innocent people becoming their victims, LOL. Imagine there is a piece of shit flying from 10 thousand feet above with the acceleration of 9.81ms-2 hitting you on the head. You will feel that you are really lucky....

Here's a look at the lavatory in the airplane.

Looks small isn't it? I cant imagine how do fat people fit into this small room. But so far, I haven't hear of anyone getting stuck in the airplane lavatory, and you guys think that it's easy to get stuck inside that tiny toilet, do you know how hard is it to make yourself to 300kg?? lol, no offence to the obese people ya ^^ Peace :-)

Ok, but there are some differences between toilets in the airplane and on ground. There is no water in the toilet bowl because if there were water int he toilet bowl the water would splash out every time a little turbulence came along, you wouldn't want that wouldn't you? A free wash on you, lol. Airplane toilets use an active vacuum instead of a passive siphon, it's called the vacuum toilet. When you flush, it opens a valve in the sewer line, and the vacuum in the line sucks the content out of the bowl and into the tank. This happens during the flight. The wastes are collected into a tank, and it is only disposed after the plane has landed. 

Another thing to remind is that DO NOT smoke in the airplane lavatory, do you all know how much non smokers hate the smell of the smoke in the lavatory or toilets!!!! It really sucks.. Ok, I think that clarifies the myth about whether the plane disposes human wastes on flight like birds do. So ,the next time you got hit by something that looks or smells something like a shit, it is definitely bird shit and it must be your lucky day, LOL!!!

Into The Squat Toilet

Have you all ever dropped anything into the toilet before?? IF you have not, try to imagine, what would you do if you dropped your ring or your key or your hand phone into the toilet? Well, it's actually pretty simple, you just go get it back but how would you choose to do it? To be frank, I have actually put my hand into the squat toilet but not just for fun, I was trying to retrieve the soap from the squat toilet. In case some of you don't know what is a squat toilet. Here's the picture of a typical SQUAT TOILET.

                           

Ok, back to what I was trying to say, I was having a shower in the bathroom in my house(the shower faucet is built in the same room with the squat toilet). The picture on the right is a shower faucet. So, as I was enjoying my shower, I accidentally dropped the soap into the squat toilet. Then, I was kind of stunned, I wondered a while, Without further a due, I put my hand into the squat toilet and try to retrieve the soap back. It was my first experience, The feeling when your hand is in the squat toilet is totally different and disgusting.

You can actually feel all the thing or what I call "mucus" attached to the tube of the squat toilet. It felt kind of a combination of cushion, our saliva and phlegm. The layer is very soft and it's all around the tube, I could feel it all while I was inserting my hand into the tube trying to retrieve the soap. I successfully retrieved back the soap with a "different" experience. Yea, you all might think why don't I just use a tool to retrieve the soap of just let the soap go. I have no idea. Maybe I was also keen trying to experience what's it is like to put your hand into the squat toilet, but it was a very disgusting and vomiting experience.

So, be careful when you are in a toilet, DON'T drop anything into the toilet or you will regret doing so. Trust me on this one ^^

Scary Toilets?

I am sure all of you heard of many different ghost stories. Do you know the story of Toire no Hanako-san, or Miss Hanako of the Toilet? It's a Japanese urban legend that can be found at most every elementary school in Japan, and it goes like this: if you go to the fourth stall of a specified girl's bathroom, usually on the third floor of the school, knock three times and call out "Hanako-san, are you there?" then you'll hear her reply, "Hai" (yes). Open the stall and you'll see a shimmering figure of a girl with bobbed hair with a red skirt on standing there. It's the ghost of Hanako , a girl who committed suicide after being bullied by her classmates (ijime), who is said to haunt the girl's bathroom looking for revenge. Or in an older version, Hanako is a girl who was playing hide-and-seek in the school bathroom during the war and was killed in an American air raid because she couldn't hear the air raid siren.

Well, I have to say that my primary school has one of the spookiest toilet I have seen and many of use who studied there agreed with that too. Both the male and female toilets are built at the basement level somewhat like a underground basement. There are these 2 long staircase linking from the surface to the toilets. The staircases are something like these. spooky?

                         

Haha, maybe not, but these are what I could find from the web which are closest to it. The length of the staircase is like the 1st picture displayed. Well, it's really creepy down there for an Malaysian primary student aged 9-12.  According to the rumours, the school was used by the Japanese during World War 2, mass slaughtering were done at the toilet area. Some even say they saw some people in army uniform outside the toilet which is an empty area filled with rubbish. I used to go to the toilet with my friends, we all went down slowly everytime, and then all of us will be running back up right after we finished with our business down there, haha. I never pass motion or shit in that toilet, i would rather hold it than to pass it down there, I think I am not the only one doing that. That really influence me going to toilets even back in my home in late nights (11pm for a 10 year old). I will be rushing back from the toilet to the living room. Although, some say ghost doesn't exist but many believe that it does exist. But what makes me believe in ghost is the toilet in my primary school. Sometimes when I am in my house's toilet, I could hear some noise above me, my grandmother told me that it's just rats, but I don't seem to believe it. So, how creepy and spooky could a toilet be?? I even heard stories from Japan about a toilet

China's Toilet

Hmm, good day guys, this is my first post. I am very interested to talk about toilets. I think all of you already know that China has a bad reputation for having dirty toilets right? Well, I can't think of any reasons why the chinese don't keep their toilet clean and hygienic. It's now 2009, the we can still see toilets like this in China, it's really common to see something like this.

Ya, it stinks!!!! And believe me, it really sucks when you enter a toilet and see something like that in your vision. It is really sad for us to see these kind of toilets still exist in China, isn't it better for us to pass motion in the wild or open area which looks basically cleaner that these kinds of toilets? Oh my, what are the chinese thinking? How can they survive using these kind of toilets? Did you all noticed that there isn't any doors for the toilets(as displayed in the pictures). That really amazed me when I first went to China and entered their toilets. There is like totally no privacy when you are trying to do your thing where everyone else can see your lower part of the body completely naked. One of the rumours that I heard from the locals about the toilets without doors is that it helps to cut down costs. Personally, I think that's really ridiculous. You will be feeling windy and a bit cold when you are squatting down especially during winters or autumns. Look at the picture on the right, do they even clean or wash the toilets? Where are the toilet cleaners? Don't tell me that they aren't any toilet cleaners too. It makes me sick.

Oh, do bear in mind that THERE ARE STIL CLEAN TOILETS IN CHINA like in the airports, hotels etc. I do sincerely believe that China has already improved their toliets and it's getting better ^^ Peace out guys.
