Do Men from Peru Know Where to Pee in a Bathroom?
I recently visited a bathroom in Peru.
Check out the sign I saw.
Not to be rude, but do men from Peru know where to pee in a bathroom?
After snapping my photo and pondering if Peruvian men truly need that much guidance, I left the bathroom and mentioned what I had seen to my wife and mother-in-law.

It is without a doubt true that in Peru many public bathrooms –if not most– are disgusting. The threat of toilet paper and soap being stolen from bathrooms by impoverished individuals leaves many public restrooms without these highly important supplies. This fact, as well a lack of initiative to clean bathrooms, often results in unsanitary conditions. It has a large ripple effect, from contamination of foods, to the pollution of water, to the spread of disease. It also creates a feeling of low national self-esteem that does not inspire people to cherish landscapes in both natural and urban environments (of course, this later statement comes with considerable exceptions).
But why would men pee on the floor purposely? If they are going to pee on the floor, why enter the bathroom in the first place?
I don’t know the answer, but I do know one thing. My mother-in-law summed it up defensively and concisely: “In the U.S. I saw pee on bathroom floors too!”
Touché.
So perhaps for a future article I should ask: Do people in the U.S. know where to pee in a bathroom?

I Think this guy should visit another countries.He only went to Peru and realize that only Peru is like that….nonono I think he should travel more around the world and he probably would change the way of his thought and opinions.
Why is your mother in law watching men urinate in the united states?
Why is YOUR mother-in-law in the men’s bathroom’s??? Unless she is saying women are the ones peeing on the floor…
Why is your mother-in-law observing urine in a MEN’s room?
What was your mother-in-law doing in the men’s restroom anyway?

When you pee in a public toilet, you let the rest of the bathroom know how rapidly your “stream” flows. The deeper and more powerful one’s stream is, it can be surmised that their wang is bigger. So, in order to disguise one’s treble-y and piccolo-like ween-stream, they piss on the inside of the toilet bowl, ABOVE where the toilet water sits. That way, it doesn’t sound like anything at all, but any movement at all sends the urine onto the floor.
So. people pee on the floor because they’re uncomfortable with others knowing the size of their schlongs.
I think it’s fat guys who can’t see over their gut to see what they’re doing.

I lived in Peru for 9 years and the bathrooms weren’t so bad. Public Bathrooms are disgusting no matter where you. Now I live in the US and I find pretty gross surprises in public bathrooms, and im not only taking about pee.
