Wayward China toilet users face fine
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
It says that people who misuse public toilets could face fines, but was a little shady about what misuse of a public toilet actually is.
"New laws that come into force next month in the southern city do not specify what amount of spilled urine would be classed as a violation."
"The regulations were designed to curb the "uncouth use of a public toilet""
I know what it is, I have seen it first hand, a thousand times. Urinals are Kryptonite for Chinese men, or at least that's what it seems like they are, as they will not get close to one. I don't know why but they never seem able to stand close and actually urinate in one.
See!
But they seem to have a funny attitude towards toilets, "it's a toilet, so of course it smells". Even in people's homes they wont put an s bend in the toilet plumbing, so that a lot of homes smell like toilets as the smell reeks out through the drains.
There is also an aversion to using chemicals to clean. What most cleaners do is use a wet mop and wipe it around. So of course there is a horrible smell as all the pee water evaporates.
I remember when I went to Nanjing, I went up the coolest building I had ever seen. A 450 meter top ten in the world sky scraper. After we got the elevator down I started to need a pee. And a couple of minutes down the road a ran in to a hospital. The toilet has horrible, piss everywhere, overflowing bins of used toilet paper and then nowhere to wash your hands. 2 minutes away from one of the most advanced and highest buildings in the world has a hospital where you couldn't even wash your hands after visiting a stinky disgusting toilet. They should have saved the money they spent on the tower and bought some handwash! but that's China.
