Funny Chinese Sign- Dont Stand on the Toilet to Shit

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 17, 2010


A lot of Chinese are still pretty ignorant about fancy things like flush toilets, they actually
squat on the seat, just as they squat over the holes that constitute typical Chinese
toilets (China uses ‘squat pots” which are holes in the floor above which they squat to defecate and urinate). I guess ‘stampede’ in Chinese must mean dont stand to shit.
