Question for you, /r9k/. How common is it for Americans to use the setup in pic related for their bathrooms? I went to visit some relatives in Iowa, and got to stay in their house. They lived in a pretty small city, and had to do this because of something that had to do with their city sewage treatment. Essentially, you had to throw the used TP in a separate bin, and then also scoop the turds back up and put them in yet another separate bin. I've experienced the TP thing in hotels in Cyprus, Spain and Greece, but the scoop thing came as a complete shock and I thought they were joking. Could some American shed some light on this? How prevalent is it?

I'm American. I've never seen this. I've traveled outside of the country and never encountered it abroad either. Idk what you're talking about, even.

>>7600792 One time when I was in a dorm and the plumbing was being fixed for three weeks we started to shit in sinks (only thing that worked) and it was preferable that our shits are runny so they go down the drain easily, otherwise you had to break it up with water streams you'd direct by turning on the faucet full and then using your palm to point the stream into the shit to break it apart. Still to this day I do it on occasion when I want to reminisce. I also make sure my shits are never fully solid.

At a friend's cottage, you had to throw your toilet paper into this garbage can beside the toilet, or else the pipes would clog or back up or something. I still flushed mine though.

A bin for TP is not unheard of, but a bin for feces is b8

I suppose this is as good a thread as any to ask... Is it acceptable to defecate in your bedroom (with sanitary protections) if you do not want to use the bathroom (which is shared by roommates) ? As a personal example I have a "phobia" of using a restroom other people might use, and so in my apartment I have a bowel movement by going into an empty potato chip bag. I throw the toilet paper into the same bag, spray lysol in it, seal the bag tightly, wrap the bag in 2 or 3 grocery bags, put that in a cardboard box, and close it up good. Then at the end of the week I throw those boxes out in the trash outside. I spray lysol all up in the closet and around my room. Unusual yes, but sanitary measures make it perfectly safe. I am afraid what my roommates would say. I know it is sanitary but I fear they won't think rationally on it. Please share your thoughts on either my own system, the concept in general, or your personal systems you use to avoid a shared restroom.

No, this is just fucked up and I'm inclined to believe you're rusing me. My grandmother made me throw used toiled paper in the trash, but she was fucking insane and her house had narrow pipes that couldn't accommodate the inch thick toilet paper she bought

This is why people make fun of people in Iowa. What kind of backwards fucks don't pave their roads at all (every Iowan's car is dusty as fuck) and maintain a poop bucket?

Speaking as an American, when I visit relatives, the poop goes in the top tank, or, if it's my brother, the tub. I shat in my brother's tub on six consecutive visits one month.

Mexican here, we throw used toilet paper into a bin, the bin is covered whit a plastic bag, so when the shit bin is full we put it into the trash. The reason is mainly poor pipe system, i also tried to flush the TP but i had to pay someone to fix my fucked pipes.

>>7600899 I feel so bad for people that can't use bathrooms shared by other people... I mean, all the trouble you have to go through just to avoid the one room in the house that is literally designed to be shit in. It bends my brain. Anywho, I would trust your instincts and avoid bringing this one up with your roomies.
