Europeans often keep shit in their toilets for two reasons: Living in a multistory building and not annoying the neighbors downstairs during the night; and saving water. It’s absolutely disgusting, but such people also don’t usually wash their hair (and I mean, engineer-type people, not necessarily unemployed kind).


What? I’ve lived in Europe most of my life and have never seen any of that. People flush toilets and wash their hair here too.

Besides “Europe” is a big place, how can you generalize.


The saying is 'if it's yellow let it mellow" (aka don't flush), "if it's brown, flush it down". And I haven't heard that as a European thing.
