The answer perhaps...
US drinker stabbed for not washing hands
Those men among you who indulge in the woman-enraging provocation of not putting the loo seat back down after taking a leak should count yourselves lucky you're not in Fort Worth, Texas, where some people take the matter of good toilet habits very seriously indeed.
Just ask 25-year-old Morgan Jackson, who was with two drinking buddies in the car park of the Tumbleweeds Sports Bar last Thursday evening when an infuriated toilet user charged them with a knife "because he apparently grew angry that one of the men didn't wash his hands in the bathroom", as the Houston Chronicle explains.
Indeed, so pissed off was 27-year-old Eric Jennings Kisiah that he stabbed Jackson three times in his left torso and once in his back with an eight-inch knife which was subsequently recovered close to the scene of the incident.
Prior to the attack, Kisiah "confronted a group of three friends at the bar because he was upset about one of them not washing his hands after using the restroom", according to the police report. He "called the men names and told them that they were dirty" before leaving with the threat to "slash their throats", as one of the men recounted.
When the three pals eventually left the bar, Kisiah launched his assault from behind a shrub where he'd being lying in wait. He was restrained by "several men" until the cops arrived.
Jackson was later reported to be in "good condition" following surgery at a Fort Worth hospital. Kisiah was cuffed on "suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" and held in Mansfield Jail with bail set at $20,000. ®

After he did so they brought another bowl saying as you enjoyed that one we brought you some more.
You don't think they really drink the snotty bits, do you?
The arabs like doing the same thing with sheeps eyeballs

Just because someone is westernised and working in a "civilised" country doesn't mean things are any different. In Sweden it's customary to do a form of snort to clear your throat (not even spitting it out!). That too is disgusting!!

Seems after poo poo it is customary in some nations to use cups of water to flush the toilet... and then throw the cup down the bog

At my place of work the main problem is people not flushing the loo. Don't know whether its the foreigners though.
Maybe the scene in the film "Borat" was not so far off the mark after all... (that's the one where he does a poo in the loo and brings it downstairs to the other guests in a bag).

Worked with this Sri Lankan bloke once. Use to snort snot between his fingers and examine it. The noises made you want to throw up.

All the permies here have been made to go on "cultural awareness" courses, presumably to teach them how to do all that
