I was (surprisingly, to me) mocked by friends/family when I purchased a bidet seat a few years ago. Over the period of a few months, most went from teasing to shy curiosity to buying one for their own home. A victory for cleanliness!
- sneak 9y agoPeople who mock you for having a cleaner butthole than them are strange people indeed.

- awl130 9y agoThis is not about cleanliness; any type of virtue is resisted by others before it becomes the norm, because of course people tend towards less effort than more.
