It still broke. (waiting three weeks for it to be changed and doing weekly spackle maintenance, i'll spare you the details). I may take a picture before it goes off to the toilet graveyard. My theory is that it broke because it has been here since the building was built in the forties or fifties. The French part of Switzerland= always behind on technology. Even with toilets.The DPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173122589441265947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-62222928017692719952009-08-28T14:56:21.883-04:002009-08-28T14:56:21.883-04:00Ok, here's an absolute no-no on European '...Ok, here's an absolute no-no on European 'hover toilets': no men over 6'4" especially ones with shaved heads! lol<br /><br />Your dinner discussion sure brought laughs. I actually like European toilets because it is so much easier to clean the bathroom floor. Also, don't you love the fact that you can hose the whole bathroom down and scrub it all with soap and water (am I weird wanting to do that once in a while?). And oh, what about my favorite - hot waters just flows right off the tap. No endless waiting and wasting for the cold water to flow out of the pipes like in America.Rrrajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-46580614589722880812009-08-27T13:17:53.748-04:002009-08-27T13:17:53.748-04:00A friend of mine once broke one of the non-europea...A friend of mine once broke one of the non-european, non-hovering toilets. I assume it was faulty before she sat on it (she's not a large person by any stretch of the imagination). I think it happened as she was in the process of standing up again, but the toilet broke at floor level and fell over, emptying its contents all over the floor. And this was at work, at a job she had only recently started. And she told me this story voluntarily and gleefully! I gather she avoided getting covered in anything unpleasant (but I think she threw out her shoes).rswbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012776363244113631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-81054217261685711152009-08-27T10:38:06.862-04:002009-08-27T10:38:06.862-04:00i have an irrational fear that im going to sit on ...i have an irrational fear that im going to sit on one of those toilets and it will break off the wall. i know this is unlikely given that im not the largest person in switzerland (or austria, my mother in law has the same kind) but still it freaks me out.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869813213951981071noreply@blogger.com
