You've Squat To Be Joking!

Australia forced to install ‘squat toilets’ in government building after migrants continually ‘made a mess’ by STANDING on Western loos.

A GOVERNMENT building in Australia has installed squat toilets because migrant staff kept STANDING on conventional Western loos.

The new Australian Taxation Office in Melbourne put in the conveniences after staff at its Canberra headquarters kept perching with their feet on top of the toilet seat.

As many as one in five workers at the ATO are immigrants from a non-English-speaking background, and bosses have said that they want to “accommodate for the different needs” of their staff.

The new office in Melbourne had squat loos installed after several complaints about the “mess” left by workers at the capital’s HQ.

The Canberra office even had to put up stickers showing people how to sit on the toilet.

Jeff Lapidos of the Australian Services Union said some immigrant workers would “put their feet on either side of the toilet seat and quite often miss.

“It wasn’t good for other staff who came along afterwards and would have to complain repeatedly about the state of the toilets.”

A large number of ATO staff are from south-east Asia and the sub-continent, where squat toilets are common.

He also said it was likely that more western toilets would be REPLACED with squats to accommodate immigrant workers.

“I can imagine it will spread throughout new buildings and I can even see them appearing in other places where toilets are being replaced”, he said.

Justin Untersteiner, ATO acting chief finance officer, said: “We are committed to maintaining an inclusive workplace that engages, informs and supports all our employees, whatever their background,” he said.

“This commitment includes building designs with a range of facilities that cater for the different needs of our employees.”

Australian Multicultural Foundation executive director Hass Dellal welcomed the squat loos — saying it was a sign Australia was catching up with the rest of the world.

He also argued the squat loos were better because they allowed for a “more natural bowel movement”.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if in 30 years’ time, all buildings had to have both styles”, he said.

A few years ago we had a Chinese girl at work. She'd been here for around 8 years at that stage. She was one who used to stand on the toilet seat. Thankfully she was only with us for 6 months because she kept breaking the seats and the mess was unbelievable. Everyone, including the bosses, knew who was doing it, but nothing was ever said because they thought they'd be accused of being racist. Instead, the cleaners would have to come for the 50th time that day, followed by the maintenance men to replace the seat.

I agree that squatting is much better healthwise, but I can't imagine a 90yo who's got hip or knee replacements being able to cope real well. If you bend the joints too far they dislocate. It would be rather embarrassing to have to go to the hospital everytime you'd used the bathroom!

I don't have an issue with workplaces and buildings installing squats as long as regular ones are also available. However, I have to ask, would the countries that use squats install regular toilets to cater for their western employees?

What a load of C**P !

What a load of C**P !

Why? I think it's a perfectly good post and makes good sense!

Actually the "practice" is called kangaroo-ing and usually is found when the perpetrator's does not wish to place his/hers buttocks on an "unsanitary" toilet seat and tend to plaster the  seat with toilet paper , squat or crouch over the seat hoping not to come in contact with said unsanitary seat. I've never ever heard of anyone actually standing on the seat but have definitely seen the results of plasterers, squatters and crouchers.

The other disgusting "habit"  in mens toilets is when a bloke does not want to dirty his hands lifting the seat before urinating(usually has extremely bad aim)

That's pretty obvious by the amount if food attempting to be smuggled in from overseas. In fact, I think a lot of Asians don't think we have food at all. I have no idea why they try to smuggle food in. I stock up on all my Asian supplies when in the city and I figure it must be the real stuff as it's full of Asians doing their shopping. That's why I can't understand why they smuggle, when there is so much of their food readily available. No-one is forcing them to eat western food, same as no-one is forcing me to eat theirs!

FYI ...no need for toilet cleaners...you are the cleaner

Clean up. Once you are all done using the squat toilet it is time to clean up. Many places that use squat toilets may not use toilet paper, using instead a sprayer or a pot of water and your hand. Look around the squat toilet to find which method has been made available to you.[3]

• Most pots of water will have a small ladle. Splash water using the ladle while wiping the area with your hand.
• Using a sprayer is the same idea as the water pot and ladle. Spray water and wipe the area clean with your other hand.
• You can bring toilet paper with you. However, many toilets may be unable to flush paper without clogging.

3

Dispose of waste paper properly. If you used toilet paper to clean up after the using the squat toilet you will need to properly dispose of it. Not all plumbing systems are equipped to deal with flushing toilet paper and it can cause serious damage to those systems. Always properly dispose of your toilet paper once you are done using a squat toilet.[4]

• If there is a trash bin near the squat toilet, chances are it is intended for used toilet paper.

4

Flush the squat toilet. Some squat toilets will have a handle and will flush like a western style toilet. However, many may not have this feature and you are still required to flush and clean up after you have used the toilet. Always leave the squat toilet looking clean for the next person.

• Use the water bucket provided to make sure any waste is flushed down the toilet.
• There may be a foot pedal that can be used to flush the squat toilet.
• If there is a brush nearby use it to wipe away any footprints you may have left on the sides of the toilet.

line em up, movement down, move em on, move em out.... don't forget to clean  the poo from under your fingernails

left hand for wiping...right hand for eating
