soap is a problem as well. theft is the reason ive been given, by locals.

maybe, just maybe, if soap and TP (which are cheap as dirt) were available, theft wouldn't be a problem!?? but hey, what do I know? I'm just a genetically inferior waygookin.


Nah, my school a few years ago was a brand new building. Nice western toilets, toilet paper in every stall, soap dispensers by each sink. The kids would clog the toilets, take the tp and throw it around the halls, throw the liquid soap on each other, etc. So they took it all out. Of course, then they started taking it from the teachers bathroom, so then we all had out own rolls we kept at our desks.

I have no problem with it. My high school didn't have doors on the stalls because of sex/drugs/fighting in the bathrooms. These kids want to ruin the nice facilities and waste things paid for with tax dollars (MY tax dollars) then screw 'em.


And since ALL the students do that, you should punish ALL of them! Rolling Eyes

Too bad for the 5th grade kid who came into my wife's classroom with his pants around his ankles and his legs covered in diarrhea. Crying and begging for some tissue.

In my entire life at school I took maybe one deuce, and that was only because two days earlier I ate a habanero pepper. I don't see how anyone else can actually take a crap at school, let alone a godawful public school bathroom in Korea. In fact the entire time I've been in Korea, the only place I've ever unloaded was in my apartment, never in public.

Oh, the horror! No free tp!

It's the end of Korean civilization!

The youngsters and their folks could never figure out what to do if they had no tp!

Blarg!

that's interesting that you're so in command of your intestinal system. I don't have the same control over mine.

Mine is quite independent minded. . Depending on what I eat and when I eat it, I am almost sure to have to go the toilet at a certain time each and every day. Currently this means I'm in the toilet stall at school about a half an hour after lunch each and every day. We do have one Western style toilet and that's the one I use.
