Yeah, apparently. Also very comfortable and unselfconscious with public nudity.

But I can tell you it sure was smelly before the flush! We learned to flush immediately! I really appreciated water in the bowl after that.
Only one of our Austrian accommodations had the poop shelf. It was a less expensive small town inn, rather than a larger city hotel.

I think my extremely dry attempt at a joke might have been lost, but I do appreciate the color!

Have they ever done a bacteria test on a baby's face? My guess is that would be one of the worst.

Off the OP, but switch the water source to above your head. This is frightening and makes me want to wear a mask when I shower.

That's what I would think. I don't get in the shower until the hot water has hit the fixture so any "bugs" in there are long since flushed out anyway.

I just ran across this sign, which is so appropriate for this thread.

We've wandered pretty far with this topics, so, let's wander a bit further. I once heard a discussion of the song (She Works) Hard for the Money by Donna Summer. Apparently, the "heroine" of the song was a female rest room attendant. I don't recall the entire discussion, but the concept of hovering DID come up and the culprits were identified as young women (teens?). In any case, I like the song (and Donna Summer) so I thought I'd include it here.
Oh, and I've personally solved the seat up/seat down/poor aim, etc. issues in the family by always sitting, no matter what business I'm attending to. I NEVER miss but YMMV.
Enjoy!

Hadn't seen that one before........only the shorter:
Our aim is to keep this bathroom clean.
Gentlemen, you aim too please.
or the pithier version:
We aim to please.
You aim too, please.
