great thread- the whole business about someone mopping the floor whilst I'm peeing freaks me out too, and since I work at Incheon airport where there are roughly one cleaner for every 3 passengers, it happens on pretty much a daily business.

They do it at my school, the Korean guys just keep peeing...I can't understand it.

I get stage fright when I see some burly adjuma checking out my package as she is mopping around my feet.

Since that experience i ONLY pee in stalls now...no stall or lock on the washroom door, i dont go.

The ajumas and the chicks in the bathroom don't bother me anymore...it's the Korean ajossi standing next to me with dandruff and cheap wig checking out my package that weirds me out.

That, and when the bathrooms are so small I'm afraid I'm going to fall in the urinal...

Great topic.

I just recall a foreign female teacher new to Korea.. we took her out to eat galbi and drink beer. After dinner.. I went to take a piss.. and about one minute later she walked in and freaked out to see me pissing in a urinal in there.. she about had a heartattack.. kind of funny and the shock on her face.. and how she was embarrassed by it. I had my back turned and against the wall. I just recall the door opening and closing and heard her say to the others 'oh my god *Tigers* in there!

After being in Korea for awhile.. funny how you almost forget how weird it is. Reminds of a girl I knew in university who was obsessed to see what a urinal looked like and how guys peed in them and everything else. If she were in Korea, she wouldn't have had that strange curiousity.

I know if I am using the toilet or if I go into one and ajumma is there, I tell her to get the hell out and give her the stink eye asking her in korea if she has any common sense; jung shin up sayeo/jung shin up sa meeka?

ok, i've got a funny but odd one...

In my school theres a uni-sex john. Now i'm not bothered by this as it has a lock.. so its no prob to get abit of privacy. When it comes to doin' the "sit down" style of releif though.. I have a problem. I've NEVER been fond of doing that in a public restroom (prefer home.. always) but after working for a few hours you just "have to go" sometimes (not to mention a greasy lunch). ok back to my prob.

The room is clean enough, well maintained (still has the plumbing smell though) but the stall is freakin' small!! I sit down fine enough but when i ...get.. half way up to wipe.. it get really tight. Can't really do it without my face plastered up against the stall door. lol



theres one to make fun of.

Uni-sex bathrooms. I got into it with one of my battalion commanders about field latrines. We contract them out from adjossi, they are one holers, and look like a thermos. Anyway, he was pissed off because I didn't label them "male and Female" I said, "hell, only one person can fit in them at a time, and they have locks! What's the difference?" (we had plenty of them and they were cleaned twice a day). My response went over like a fart in church. I put a sign on them that said "Male and Female"...on the same paper... What was he afraid of? they were going to double up and sit on each other's lap? I think he claimed that he felt the males would piss on the seat....whatever..
