Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for April 15, 2022

You don’t know squat

Remember back when you used to borrow a key from the gas station attendant and the bathroom doors were on the outside of the building?

Similar to an Asian squaty potty?

Especially gas stations with one bathroom (for LGSQT folks) and no urinal.

Men show their superiority in #1; not so much for #2.

Reason number 1 why I am glad I’m not a girl: the world is your urinal.

Was a time super clean restrooms were touted as a major reason to patronize some fuel brands. But then there also were about 5 guys who took care of your vehicle while you were tending to business. Lots has changed since then. The higher the price of gas, the fewer guys on station. Seems major companies also have dropped the periodic inspection policy, which, as always leads to reduced attention to the little details.

If you look at a gas pump. There’s about a 70% chance that it says Gilbarco. They are the largest manufacturer of that item in the United States.

I interviewed with the company and the interview was conducted, in part, in their showroom. I used the restroom at hand. It was the cleanest restroom that close to gas pumps that I had ever been in.

On a darker note, when I left Brooklyn to go to my first military assignment in Georgia in 1970, I stopped in a town in South Carolina to get gas. They had men’s rooms and ladies’ rooms inside. Outside was an outhouse – the first structure of that kind that I had ever seen – and it was labeled, “Colored.” At least it was boarded shut, but it did not look like it had been abandoned all that long.

adopted two girls from Krasnoyarsk Russia in 1998. Went to the ladies room in the Krasnoyarsk airport. They did designate where to put your feet as you squatted over the hole in the floor.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Also good for pooping in the woods.

No stick with which to flush it?

A back slapping and double knee slapping funny.

I am sure my scouts used that position in the day!

I finally did a LOL.

A well known pose called “The Hover”.

Toilet seats are dirty BECAUSE someone squatted. Surely you are more likely to catch something by hanging around after flushing or touching handles after washing your hands! I’ve also seen claims that the floor is the filthiest surface in a restroom, so try not to set bags there if you can help it.
