In a roundabout way, this reminds me of a long-winded anecdote.
I visited the Giant Panda breeding place in Chengdu a few years ago, and found to my astonishment that they had a Japanese toilet in the bogs - one of the ones with a control panel like the space shuttle. This was the first time I'd seen one outside Japan, and was particularly surprising in China where the usual choices were Western-style or hole-in-the-floor.
There was a sign on the door in several languages, with pictures, explaining how to use it. However, that was obviously too much for someone who'd been in there before me, and had apparently taken one look at it and had a dump in the wastepaper basket next to it instead.
