Everybody Poops
So I've been on a hotel tour of Europe for the past 10 days. Whilst on this tour I have had much time to ponder the wonders of life, mainly because I am ill and have nothing better to do than watch dubbed tv in bed every night instead of painting the town hypercolour. And there is one thing about hotels which concern me.
Why do they never, ever have enough ventilation in the bathrooms?
See, cause everyone poos. I poo, you poo, George Clooney poos, George Dubya poos, Angelina Jolie poos, your mum poos, even your partner poos (whether they do it when you're home or not). Pooing is a part of life. Maybe not the nicest part of life, but it is kind of essential.
And yet every single hotel I have stayed in has no window in the bathroom, or ventilator fan in the bathroom, or even fucking air freshener spray in the bathroom! Personally I hate air freshener because it just smells like you've taken a shit in a pine forest, but anything would be better than sitting in a very small room being slowly suffocated by the smell of your own shit. Just a tiny fan would be an improvement.
If politicians want to get elected, maybe this should be their new platform. Actually, it should be a double headed platform - the first section of which is to provide proper ventilation in hotel bathrooms, the second part is to restore the old Facebook layout. I'd vote for that...

7 reddit:
Our new house has a no windows in the bathroom, which causes poo problems--candles just aren't as good.
Next rental house will definitely have "windows in bathroom" near the top of the list.
i think its a european thing. at least in japan even though the bathrooms are hermeneutically sealed they do still mostly have ventialtion!
but japan is unique. they have toilets that clean your bum for you!
as for the old facebook layout, i'm sssssooooooo with you
Japanese toilets also provide ambient sounds to cover the somewhat aurally pleasing sound of the plop.
Have you thought of carrying matches with you?
However.... have you ever pooed in a bathroom with a huge window?? I don't know about you, but my ass clenches together so tight that it took me about 4 hours to crap out a 200 meter long matchstick.
saying that, I kinda like the smell of my own poo.. other peoples poo though.. well they can get stuffed.
it's not often (first time that I've come across) that a blog post about bogs made me sing REM to myself. Thanks OMel, you have made my day!
we have windows in abthrooms here, but for some reason, EVERY public bathroom has a door that opens inwards. So after you wash your hands you have to touch the doorknob to get out, rather than the logical kicking it open. I ahte to think that people who might not have washed their hands have touched the doorknob...
