Every person has to go to the bathroom, from kings to paupers. The same throne is reserved for all. Nothing pleasant comes out of going number two. This activity is one of the least favorite events for a human to do. The humiliation that comes from making animal noises on the toilet when you have a neighbor is sometimes hard to avoid. Grunting & groaning is a common noise in the mens´ bathroom; the women´s might be different.
One male friend doesn´t believe girls poop because that would ruin his vision of delicate, pure ladies. The use of toilet paper varies per person, from a few sheets to a long portion of the spool. The character of feces is as diverse as the people that plop them out. Colors and shapes vary from black to green and long to multiple short pellets. Wiping is another nasty matter all together. All that stands between user and used is a few sheets of tissue.
What is really annoying is when the stall is too small to spread one´s legs to fully reach one´s bottom. As if pooping was not bad enough, the inevitable plunging experience takes place here and there. Girls have been know to give the plunger over to guys, and guys then work on the situation, either making it worse, or fixing the problem. The plumber is sometimes called in to fix what the man messed up even more. All in all, the toilet is a contraption that people all over the world see on a daily basis. There is no avoiding the push of the poop in the intestines and the pull of the toilet as the answer to one´s problems. Most people would loath to go back to the days without indoor plumbing. This amenity is seen as a necessity. Outhouses at county fairs are bad enough; a pit in the ground when camping in the woods is not to be spoken about in polite conversation. The toilet is a symbol of our need to flush out the icky from our lives. Nobody wants to leave crap lying around the house. This disgusting object must be expunged and preferably carried distant, distant away. The rates of disease would drastically increase if sewer lines refused to work. Back-ups being common place would destroy the lives of numerous people through infection.
Personally, a toilet destroyed part of the Breuer house. The pipe was clogged, and the washer was trying to empty itself of water; instead of going down the drain, the water erupted back up through the toilet in a volcano of dirty water. Since feces particles were probably present, the flooring in the area needed to be replaced, along with countless items in the basement, from the rainfall that soaked through the ground floor. The sight of a rainstorm in the basement is not a pleasant one. Taking the toilet for granted is a dangerous line of thought. As one dad in particular says, ¨Use less toilet paper; we don´t need to ruin the house again.¨ Apparently, there are many types of toilets, ranging from wet-flush to dry, from sitting to squatting. The common type of toilet is designated by country norms, with the U.S.A. commonly using sitting, flushing toilets, and some countries in Europe using squatting, dry toilets.
The average person probably doesn't consider the problems that can come about through the segregation of toilets by sex. Transgendered people have a hard time picking which room to use; should they go with their apparent gender or biological gender. This lack of clearly defined norms of where to go to the bathroom has led to other user discomfort, and sometimes harassment of the transgendered person. One modern day solution is the construction of bathrooms that are gender neutral, and open to all sexes. The disabled also have difficulty when they need a caregiver of the opposite sex to assist them in the bathroom, as do parents with children of the opposite sex. Some people are also gifted with high-tech toilets that do everything from heat the seat to automatically flush when the user stands up. Well, a trip to the toilet is in order...
