Reminds me of this japanese comedy sketch https://youtu.be/ZkQNP2cqG2I https://youtu.be/ZkQNP2cqG2I Another tricky thing is figuring out how to flush the public toilets. The user interface is non standard on every toilet. The most surprising way I've encountered was to step on a button on the floor. (Remember to never press the big green button)

> Remember to never press the big green button Is that one that automatically opens the door, or one which automatically starts a full wash of the entire toilet cabinet's interior?

  Worse. It raises an alarm and automatically sends down a bunch of security guards to check on you, lol Sometimes the button is red, but it can be any color, sometimes it looks like a flush button.

    Wow, never heard of that one, pretty nice variation on an awful pattern. Is it in handicap stalls or does it also exist in "regular"?

> Remember to never press the big green button One of my greatest fears :p I saw someone do that one time actually, and the door that the button opened was really slow moving and irreversible until it had completed opening fully. This was on a train, with all of the passenger seats facing the door in question. The guy that did it had to quickly pull his pants up and then stand there awkwardly while the door finished opening so that he could close it again.

Friend, you missed the biggest news of 2017: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38660860 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38660860 Although it probably takes a few years for all toilets to be replaced...

  Haha! It's almost the end of 2021 and I haven't noticed any changes! Squatters are still around too, lol

Such a great sketch, even without audio! I hate that we don't have a universal way to encode and decode how to use doors/buttons/levers.
