Re: Gross Guest Tricks
Unfortunately, in a lot of countries, toilets are public entities. We as Americans have made them a private place, but many other (even developed) countries around the world don't apply the same standards of restroom etiquette that we do. In Hong Kong, rest areas are less than modest and in Tokyo (both quite developed), the rest areas may not have things that we are accustomed to when going potty.Syndrome wrote:I don't mean this as a bash at a particular ethnic group...just reporting what I have seen multiple times. Is it common for Indians to use restrooms without closing the stall doors? I have seen it more than once at WDW and also at Universal. Really freaky...each time, mom was in one stall and a kid or two in another, and everyone was going with the doors wide open. Not gross so much as a "too much information" type of thing. Just wondering if that is the norm in their country perhaps, since I've seen it more than once?
Americans are a lot more uptight about natural body functions than other developed countries (I'm born and raised in the USA as well, but have witnessed it). If you venture outside the US, you lose all sense of modesty in many european/asian/middle eastern areas. Trust me, Freud would have a field day diagnosing my bowels or bladder in other countries, lol.
So to answer your question, it's not that they are being a voyeur, they just simply are not used to our rules on many things.

Ironically, after I typed that post, a repressed memory resurfaced. Mr. Syndrome and I used to do lots of roller coaster road trips. Once we were in a boofoo area of Ohio or Indiana...I don't remember which. We stopped at something called a "Wayside," which apparently is a rest area for the modesty-challenged. It had facilities that were barely a step up from outhouses, and NO DOORS! And women were just parked there taking care of their business for all to see. Freaked the heck out of me. So really, I guess it's not even always a "distant" culture.
I LOVE the suggestions on what I could have said to the Booger Queen. If Mr. Syndrome had been with me, we would have taken the indirect approach and had a heck of a loud conversation. I can't take credit for Magic Nose Goblins, as that is a relic of Ren & Stimpy.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

He probably was in a hurry and did not see the sign. I have walked into a men's restroom and boy do they not look alike unless you are blind.DisneyMom wrote:Your opinions, please....

Not a pervert. I would have embarrassed him time or did a freaked out screaming church lady routine. I did that once to a guy watering the bushes and he ended up driving his car over a cinder block, chunk crunch. lol.

Re: Gross Guest Tricks
Yeah! How was the drum solo?!? And the rest of the concert for that matter? I love Rush!ktulu wrote:Drunk/high, but nevermind that, how was the drum solo :)
