Australian Adventure: Put down the seat!

Dear Australia,

You’ve been lovely. You’ve been delightful.

But… I have a complaint.

What is it with leaving the toilet seat up!?!

Maybe it’s because there are so many co-ed bathroom spaces but I swear the amount of “seat up” in Australia is beyond acceptable.

Really, it’s amazing that I haven’t ended up with my foot in the bowel after doing the “ew ew ew – don’t want to touch that with my hand so I’ll just kick the seat ‘til it falls down” move.

I’m buying new shoes after this, by the way.

Call me spoiled, but I’m surprised that the women of the country haven’t revolted.

AND… Get this.

In Sydney, they’ve installed “outdoor urinals” on the street. I didn’t see any in-person… just the large flashing billboard sign that public urination is a $200 fine.

…Because apparently even with the outdoor urinal this is still a problem.

In my humble opinion, an investment in automated seat toliets would have been the way to go… Perhaps the public peeing fine will pay for it.

Either way, I’ll be glad to be back home.

And so will my shoes.

xoxo

Whit
