Pinays have mastered the art of squatting while peeing. I don't know any Filipina girl who can't do it. I know someone who steps on the toilet to pee, another who simply can pee while in a squatting-almost sitting position. It's hell on the knees, I tell you. I can never really say that I am a master at peeing while squatting. I must admit, I only pee when I really have to. And at times that I really need to go, I must be at least at home, or someone else's house, where I know the people who sit on the toilet. Let me tell you, it's not good for your urinary tract to control peeing. When I was in Malaysia, I would only pee in the hotel, or in the office. The Malaysia office toilets were cleaned as soon as someone came out of the cubicles. And there was tissue for your tush also. I must admit, I used the tissue and I sat on the toilet. After all, toilet seats are there to be sat on. Call me elitist, but I would only pee in the lounge areas of Glorietta malls. The stalls are clean and tissue paper is flowing. Believe me, I worry who has sat there, but it's not really something that's keeping me awake at night. I just put tissue and I sit. I know how to squat, but since the toilets are clean, I sit. I've never caught any skin disease in my tush, yet. So now, I don't understand it. How come, when people use their toilets at home, they emerge with it still being clean, but when they use public toilets more often than not, there's pee on the toilet seat? Here in Cavite, I don't dare sit on the toilets. Simply for the reason that I once saw droplets of pee on a toilet seat. I just realized, I have two pet peeves. One is when people just spit anywhere and Two when there's droplets of pee on the toilet seat. -------------------- Buti na lang, men can do it standing up.
