Fearing Malaysian Public Toilets
1. You know when one is nearby - just follow your sense of smell.
2.It is a rare sight to see the toilet seat un-cracked/footprint-less. (Makes you wonder what a toilet seat is actually for).
3. Despite the whole hi-tech-savvy outlook of those new in-the-middle-of-nowhere-comes-a-public-toilet units scattered around the city centre, there is a person wedged somewhere in the middle collecting your twenty cents.
4. Never are its surroundings dry.
5. There was once I witnessed how the cleaners clean the toilet - by using the mop to mop up the wet floor, they also use the same mop to wipe the toilet seat (this was one of the shopping malls in KL, by the way).
6. Wonder how some people can leave the toilet without flushing it and not feel guilty about it.
7. The cleaners have hideouts in the vicinity of the toilets. Despite the authentic smell, I admire the fact that some of them can still enjoy their buns and pastries in such environment.
8. Some public toilets have the cheek to ask you to pay an entrance fee, promising that they'll keep the toilets clean for you. What's with paying 50 cents to access a no-toilet-paper, no-soap, all-wet-all-over-the-floor, dysfunctional-locks kind of toilet?
9. Last but not least, I feel the pressure, whenever I use the washroom, I hear some girls once in a while, forcing themselves to throw up. How STUPID.
