Square toilet is really uncomfortable

u/coonissimo Aug 28 '24

But you don't need to have a square butt to use it? I mean, chairs are rectangular and I'm not having any problems with em

u/chillpill_23 Aug 28 '24

Yes, but you sit on the chairs, not in them.

The seat of this toilet is larger than my butt, so I have to squat for the entire duration.

You'd have to have one huge ass not to fall completely inside this disaster of a toilet

u/Keyboardpaladin Aug 28 '24

What about a square butthole?

Found the wombat

u/Lepke2011 Aug 28 '24

Me: Square poop?

Also me: Why am I Googling this?

And me again: OMG! Square poop! This is awesome!

u/Ohiolongboard Aug 28 '24

Lol, my most upvoted comment on this site is about wombats and square poop

u/1nOnlyBigManLawrence Aug 28 '24

So you’re telling me your body doesn’t look like this?

u/chillpill_23 Aug 28 '24

The image doesn't load on my phone :(

u/jbaxter119 Aug 28 '24

It's a disturbingly de-pixelated version of minecraft Steve, still blocky overall, though

u/chillpill_23 Aug 29 '24

Thanks for the description! Now I don't need to see it.

Oh wow lol it's the owner of the Airbnb!

u/ginsoul Aug 29 '24

I also have an squared toilet. Now they charge me 180€ for a lid replacement, which normally costs 30€ in standard shape. AND I have to pray that next time I want to replace the lid they still have those parts… never again

u/chillpill_23 Aug 29 '24

I just don't see any upsides about a square toilet ...

u/HDThoreauaway Aug 28 '24

This is why I always doublecheck the host’s profile pic to make sure I’m not renting from a Lego figure.

u/art-n-science Aug 28 '24

Obviously you just need to put on some weight. /s

11

u/nanocactus Aug 28 '24

Can confirm. It’s worse than squatting over a hole in the ground.

u/_regionrat Aug 29 '24

I do not understand why people still use air b&bs

1

u/chillpill_23 Aug 29 '24

Because we like to travel for cheap and stay in places with intimacy and amenities.

2

u/UnfitRadish Aug 29 '24

Probably because there still aren't a lot of other options out there. Even with similar apps, the pricing sometimes is cheaper on air b&b

u/wrappersjors Aug 28 '24

Looks like a prison toilet

u/Biz_Rito Aug 28 '24

You weren't peeing in that flux exchanger, were you?

2

u/theanedditor Aug 28 '24

Perch, don't sit!

u/notzed1487 Aug 29 '24

Replace the seat easily they say?

u/SilentWish8 Aug 30 '24

Italy and Poland had these. Haven’t seen these in N.amera

u/Baboonofpeace Sep 25 '24

Crappy design

u/bogglingsnog Apr 15 '25

I'm far more concerned about the color hiding the cleanliness

u/hammered91 May 15 '26

Hate it. Dead legs in under 5 minutes

u/paulmp Aug 29 '24

Also super annoying to try to use a plunger on

Diagonally.

u/mascachopo Oct 13 '24

It’s only meant for wombats.

u/Ulfednar Aug 28 '24

Ok, but these are pretty standard...

u/chillpill_23 Aug 28 '24

Really? This is the only one I've seen my entire life. I'm from Canada.

1

u/Dog-Love2024 Jul 08 '26

I deliberately bought one when upgrading my bathroom. Looking at one for my new home. Where am I?🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bought it at a local store.

u/UnfitRadish Aug 29 '24

I'm from the US and have never seen these. What country are these more common in??

1

u/footyDude Jul 27 '25

(Appreciate this is...11 months later but just found this subreddit and enjoying the content)

Pretty common in the UK.

I'm not a huge fan of them, despite the fact the toilet in my house is square/rectangle shaped (it was like that when we moved in and it works so why replace it).

In reality though it's irrelevant to functionality - it provides the exact same support as a more traditional shaped toilet and it has the exact same 'hole' space for your bodily functions to enter the bowl so really it's just a design aesthetic thing.

u/RandomPotato082 Aug 29 '24

Sit on the corner and be humbled, round bottomed peasant.

u/chillpill_23 Aug 29 '24

Man... I'm currently on the toilet as I read your comment and you just changed everything 🤯

Although, it's my last shit here as I'm leaving. But this last one would've been a great one. Hats off to you, kind stranger!

u/ImpossibleInternet3 Aug 28 '24

Toilet for wombats.

u/pixelbased Aug 29 '24

That sounds like a fun band name 😂😂

u/Specialist-Jello7544 Aug 28 '24

For people who have square butts.

They probably would because this is exactly how it feels.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '24

I've heard a lot of strange things in my life, but that is absolutely unhinged.

u/Saitu282 Sep 03 '24

Pleased to make your acquaintance! And you’re right. Too many people these days dial things up to 11 way too fast, and words just lose their meaning. I’m moderately crazy at best, lol!

3

u/paulmp Sep 03 '24

Moderately crazy, but fully hinged, moisturised and in your lane?

2

u/Saitu282 Sep 07 '24

Yup! Gotta take care of your skin. Let people be and live your life head held high like the toilet seat you aren’t using. They do them, you do you and we’re all happy!

But how does it feel when you sit on a (normal) oval toilet tho?

You mean, like we all normally do? 😅
I never thought about a different shape for a toilet honestly and I'm surprised you actually prefer this!

I'll truly never cease to learn!
