I'm with you Sunny. I resisted for hours, but finally had to click on it. I'm so sorry. (Note to self: never leave hometown.)

I dunno, different cultures, different things. The poverty level in India is not what we're use to around here. I would imagine toilet paper is not something on their list of must haves. India has very limited paper products... so there's a reason for washing instead of wiping.

I did not resist. I thought it was going to be something innocent like "Do you prefer the roll hung to dispense over ot under?" or "Which brand do you buy?" etc...

On a serious note, don't they use Bidets over there?

I Mexico you have to pay like 50 cents to use the restroom and the "crapper cops" give you 2 squares of TP at the door....2 squares...for 50 cents... youd think at those prices they could install larger pipes...

Wow all that for 50cents. You could buy a whole roll of cheaper toilet paper for that price. I guess just bring some TP with you..

I guess the fingernails come in handy if scraping is necessary.

BTW a lot of cultures in the middle east use the left hand for wiping. That's why lefthandedness is considered unclean. If a child is lefthanded, they are still taught to use their right hand for everything.

I am glad I am not the only one that is completely shocked by this practice. It just goes to show that something that seems stupid and disgusting to you can be the norm for a whole country of people.

Makes me wonder if ther are any american practices that make other people shake their heads in disgust/wonder.

Really now, did you have to go there?!

Now I started dry heaving. I don't even want to look at my left hand and I use TP.
