I'm sure I've told this story before on herebut at the Panda Breeding Research Centre in Chengdu, China, they've got a Japanese toilet in one of the public bogs. This is quite a departure for China, where sit-down toilets are still largely for tourists, and many locals are used to hole-in-the-ground style ones.
Everywhere there's a sit-down toilet, there's a picture on the door of a person squatting on the seat, with a big red line through it, to discourage people from doing that. Fair enough, if you're used to a hole in the ground and have never seen a western-style toilet, you'd think you're supposed to squat over it too. Nonetheless, there are frequently muddy footprints all over the toilet seats.
Anyway, pity the poor bastard who was in before me and was greeted by a Japanese toilet with a giant electronic control panel covered in buttons for all the various functions. Evidently he couldn't work out what to do, and decided just to have a shit in the bin beside it instead.

It's the cleaner I feel sorry for. (
