Poor mans bidet in a million plus house...... [#3] Posted: 04/01/2012 - 8:47:23 PM
Bidet, I see it quite frequently in certain ethnic/religious instances. Obviously they need to go, no backflow prevention and usually uses a self-piercing valve.

That's the technical reason I told them it had to go. I have a feeling it will make a mess as well. The agent told me that this is quite common in some countries.

That's what I expected to see, but they actually used a compression T.

That'd be the left hand. It's that way throughout the middle east. That's why it's an insult there to touch someone with your left hand. You also don't want to walk into a public crapper over there without bringing a roll of T.P. with you or you might find yourself learning the local custom the hard way.

Japan has been doing the handwashing above the tank trick for decades. Not much room for those of us with big hands, and the newest low flow toilets don't provide a lot of water so wash quick!
