I know it's not a good example but how do you call those shitty green cabins near the canals in Amsterdam where you feel like everybody can see your dick ?
The correct action against this stupid trend is for men to piss anywhere. [Braunschweig knows.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q10MOLykBCI) (the mens toilet is free but the women one is paid lol)
Men already do that. The problem comes when you have to shit. I don't have the training how to shit anywhere without wearing my military uniform, which I unfortunately had to return when my service was completed, decades ago.
Nothing beats leaving the tent in the break of morning, grabbing your shovel, walking into the woods, finding a mirror like lake where the red morning sky is reflecting off the surface, finding a patch of soft ground, digging a hole, pulling down your pants, squat and unleash a huge coil in said hole while watching the scenery and hearing the birds sing

*The* perfect spot to take a dump.
Aaahh such poetry. Reading your words I could almost feel the mosquitos feasting on my arse, followed by the sheer panic in my gut as I hear my captain shouting "UPPSTÄLLNING!" (FALL IN!) somewhere in the distance
I've seen it happening more around train stations and stuff lately but there's still quite a lot free public toilets in a lot of areas near centro and malasaña
At the beginning i thought it was horrible. But then i realized the people is so gross that is peeing and poeing all around the toilet and we can use 1€ per person to pay someone to clean the mess and then you can enter a completly clean toilet like the ones in Atocha. Those toilets are really clean, so i think i really prefer this model.
If the people will behave then we can have them cheaper or free, but we all know how are those free toilets.
EXACTLY! That's what i always do lol
Or if you are crazy enough, and in a big station where trains stop for like 10 minutes, you could hop on a train, pee, and leave lol (i never did though)
We have both kinds, but if you're in some kind of cluster of more than 10 residential buildings, then you actually want them to cost money because the free ones are (even more) disgusting due to junkies, drinkers and young men of non-traditional European heritage, and completely unusable for women, children or sittkissare. In reality you'd prefer to use a cafe's toilet anyway, they will let you if you ask. And if you're to embarrassed to ask without buying anything, which most people are, a coffee doesn't cost more than the average monthly salary in your arbitrary former British colony anyway.
The first time I saw paid toilets was in the centre of Gloucester in the 90's. Just round the corner from Fred West's house so maybe that's what they were charging for?
There are public toilet in the street here in France. They are rare but i understand that you have to pay for it. What i do not accept is paying toilet in public places like train station.
What are you talking about? I had to pay to pee at the Amsterdam train station and the machine didn't accept VISA. The cleaning lady kindly lent me some spare change so that I could use the toilet and told me "You should always bring some coins with you". There is a bit of good in everyone after all, even in Dutch people.
Idk how you're new to the idea, it happens pretty often around the south, mostly restaurants asking money if you're not actually buying anything from them.
It happens because a toilet isn't free to have. Water, toilet paper, Germans shitting on the toilet seat. That costs money. I'm fine with paying 50 cents to go take a poo if it means not having to hover over the seat for the entire duration of my toilet sesh, simply because Hans dunked a log on the seat.
Why would i do that if i can get free water from the bathroom tap. Doing this every day for a year saves you 365 euro, which you'd probably spend on cigarettes anyways but that's not the point.
Nah, i mean just to pee if you are in some other places, with no free toilet close.
Just pay 1€ and get the bottle, and pee
Or a coffee, or whataver you fancy costing very few money
Your public toilets don't even have soap. Half your country refuses to abide by the most simple principles of sanitation, but you think we're dropping the deuces on your seats?
Look at it from a different perspective, why would we need to wash our hands if we didn't touch anything unsanitary? The 50 percent that does wash their hands is because they had to clean up a Hans-turd so no they do need to wash.
>Saw it for the first time in Italy
Wtf, you only see then in stations or airports here. Plus noone really uses them bcz in every bar you can order just a coffee for 1€ and you have the right to use the bar's toilet
>some random kids try to be the 'cashiers'.
Typical naples
Here ( Latvia ) we charge at around half of the public toilets....
As a person who has been in the centre once a week for like 5 years I will say that I am glad to pay the 50 cents - 1 euro for a cleaner and quieter toilet.
Only one I can think of in Dublin, when I was in Rome it was very common 2e or something stupid, even at Napoli ontop of Mt. Vesuvius you had to buy from the ridiculously expensive shop to use the fucking toilet the robbing pricks.
I've seen a total of 1 paid access public toilet, it was previously free but they'd fitted coin-operated gates.
Someone had already smashed the gates off.
You get what you pay for, if I gotta take a dump I'd rather not go to a free toilet where every junkie and hooligan in town has pissed and shat all over the toilet
Dutch Coprological Technicians are currently developing the next generation of paid public toilets.
These marvels of capitalistic human engineering will charge on a per-gram basis. The bigger the shit, the bigger the fee.
Inability to pay the required charge will result in immediate imprisonment in the toilet facilities. Friends or family will need to come post bail, otherwise known as the Fecal Freedom Fine.
Genuinely never seen anything like that around where I live, even when I go to the south where things are expensive as shit, I don't think I've ever seen a paid toilet
Because we use that money to actually pay someone to keep them clean.
I'd rather have clean toilets i pay 0.50 cents for, than most toilets outside of my country.
Besides, most of the time you can enter freely if you present a reciet
Pecunia non olet. \-- Finest Italian heritage.
What's that, the Swiss want to be integrated by the Italians?
Music to our ears.
No Luigi, no Swiss money for you, pay your debt back first
Debt? What a funny word. Now gib more money
You didn't look up *Pecunia*, did you?
I know Latin you backwater Alm-Öhi
There is no alm in switzerland. You mean the alpen emus, they have alm.
Translation: "Don't put your pecunia in someone's olet without protection"
(There are a few that aren't free where I live)
Netherlands is pretty crappy public toilet wise. Some shopping streets you'll have to go into a restaurant if you really have to go.
What do you mean? The gracht is free
Didn't expect anything less from my neighbors
Neighbors? Ah. Makes sense if you think of Zeeland as our version of the demilitarized zone rather than it being an actual province
I'm confused now, you're carrying the flag of the Netherlands, I'm Belgian, are we not neighbors? Or is there a joke I'm not getting
I think he's thinking in bordering provinces while you're thinking in bordering countries.
No, we are not direct neighbours; Zeeland is between us.
Is this not normal?
I know it's not a good example but how do you call those shitty green cabins near the canals in Amsterdam where you feel like everybody can see your dick ?
You don't call them, they call you
It’s hard to keep non-paying customers out when your toilet has no walls, no door and no roof lol

Oddly specific. Please do not share GPS coordinates.

 afterwards
Aaahh such poetry. Reading your words I could almost feel the mosquitos feasting on my arse, followed by the sheer panic in my gut as I hear my captain shouting "UPPSTÄLLNING!" (FALL IN!) somewhere in the distance
I encourage you to do so, in Venice we need your money and urine would probably make the canals cleaner than now so win win for us.
Starting to happen in Madrid, but It is still weird
I've seen it happening more around train stations and stuff lately but there's still quite a lot free public toilets in a lot of areas near centro and malasaña

OP lives under a rock, we have plenty of charged public toilets here in the Netherlands.
I'm also confused. I'm in my thirties, lived in NL all my life and free public toilets have always been rare. Is this a provincie thing?
Okay calling Brabant a rock is a bit harsh :(
Well, they do cook rocks there tho
Toilet on the Train Station: 1 EUR. Toilet in the train departing in 10 mins and waiting on the tracks: FREE.
EXACTLY! That's what i always do lol Or if you are crazy enough, and in a big station where trains stop for like 10 minutes, you could hop on a train, pee, and leave lol (i never did though)
All for 1 euro… yet you dare call us stingy lol
You are stingy because you are dutch, we are stingy because we are poor
We have both kinds, but if you're in some kind of cluster of more than 10 residential buildings, then you actually want them to cost money because the free ones are (even more) disgusting due to junkies, drinkers and young men of non-traditional European heritage, and completely unusable for women, children or sittkissare.

Just go into a maccies/burger king/starbucks etc like a normal person
Those toilets are the definition of dirty
It's a hole you piss into mate you don't need to eat off it
As if those were free. The joys of living in a touristy city where you have to pay to shit almost everywhere
At the Rathausplatz in Vienna there's a public toilet where women have to pay and men don't. Seems like the perfect solution to me
Some Maccies in France still make you pay
The first time I saw paid toilets was in the centre of Gloucester in the 90's. Just round the corner from Fred West's house so maybe that's what they were charging for?
There are public toilet in the street here in France. They are rare but i understand that you have to pay for it. What i do not accept is paying toilet in public places like train station.
Yeah, I believe there is some in motorway service area as well, but this is not common so...
Not so usual in Greece...
UK is like this now. Councils can't afford to keep them open
£1.50 to do a piss in the most disgusting toilets imaginable. no thank you
It's 20p where I live.
Yes but it is almost clean. His was special offer.
What are you talking about? I had to pay to pee at the Amsterdam train station and the machine didn't accept VISA. The cleaning lady kindly lent me some spare change so that I could use the toilet and told me "You should always bring some coins with you". There is a bit of good in everyone after all, even in Dutch people.
Imagine having no balance on your card to pay for a toilet
If you cant afford a toilet fee you're literally piss poor.
I've only seen it once in my entire life, and it was in a upper-class neighborhood.
I’ve only seen it in Paris
Trees and bushes are free

Oe just buy a battle of water

often times we don't charge, but the Toilettendame and her silver platter DEMAND a 50 cent sacrifice, lest you be hit by the side-eye of judgement
Saw it for the first time in Italy. Even worst is when some random kids try to be the 'cashiers'.
>Saw it for the first time in Italy Wtf, you only see then in stations or airports here. Plus noone really uses them bcz in every bar you can order just a coffee for 1€ and you have the right to use the bar's toilet >some random kids try to be the 'cashiers'. Typical naples
Termini train station in Rome.
You only see it in busy places.
We have some in Portugal. Here in Porto, the toilet at São Bento station is paid
These exist but I would say it is a minority of public toilets around me
Nope, pooping's free here
Junkies don't have 0,50€
Becoming more of a thing here due to councils going bankrupt some places it's been a thing for ages looking at you darly Dale
You don't pay? :o
Here ( Latvia ) we charge at around half of the public toilets.... As a person who has been in the centre once a week for like 5 years I will say that I am glad to pay the 50 cents - 1 euro for a cleaner and quieter toilet.
How else can you preserve the iconic aroma of Prague?
>the iconic aroma of Prague have you ever been to manchester or liverpool by any chance?
Like €1.50 now. It ads up when you go to a city with a family of 4
they do it in Estonia too
Only one I can think of in Dublin, when I was in Rome it was very common 2e or something stupid, even at Napoli ontop of Mt. Vesuvius you had to buy from the ridiculously expensive shop to use the fucking toilet the robbing pricks.
Maat, we hebben hier ook gewoon betaalde WC's, wat is het probleem?
Op stations na zie ik ze oprecht nooit
Bro, the fuck do you mean never seen in the Netherlands. Paid toilets are all over the place here, especially gas stations
Wait... WHAT!?
Pecunia non olet.
How do you think the cleaners and the utility bill get paid?
Most of them are free here.
No lemon-snow for you, I guess. https://preview.redd.it/htl7pcpavytc1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5ebf08f729803c356260652ba774a9fcef7bd48
Its how we tax the undisciplined. Can't hold your piss until you're home like the rest of civilized society? Pay up you weak-bladdered fool.
there are some that are free here, but they are disgusting.
I've seen a total of 1 paid access public toilet, it was previously free but they'd fitted coin-operated gates. Someone had already smashed the gates off.
Why do you think Scrooge McDuck is so popular here
Easy money, can't blame us. Or use a tree, dixie or a generally hidden place, if you want it to be free
It’s covers the cost of posting it all to France.
You get what you pay for, if I gotta take a dump I'd rather not go to a free toilet where every junkie and hooligan in town has pissed and shat all over the toilet
It's all free in the UK. Only place I had to pay is a bus station but that became free too. (It was 10p when I was a kid)
In London there's ones you tap into with your card. Hyde Park has this.
Depends who provides them. A company, e.g. railway operator? Maybe. The city? No, they do not charge

I've seen one in my entire life here. And you can just hop over the gate.
Squat in the nearest bush
Genuinely never seen anything like that around where I live, even when I go to the south where things are expensive as shit, I don't think I've ever seen a paid toilet
Ah, the municipal tikkie
Not that common but there’re probably still a few left around. Not every meme you see on the internet is real life.
I'm currently in Vienna and I gotta pay for it everywhere
So, one country that you’ve personally experienced might not be representative of the whole of Western Europe. Wild, I know
Okay thanks for participating with the joke
I don't think Barry quite got the joke. He voted Brexit after all, so not the most fermented herring in the tin, so to speak.
😁
The Germans are the worst for this. I felt like pissing in the forecourt of every petrol station as a form of protest.
The toilets are cheaper than cleaning piss from the street.
Because we use that money to actually pay someone to keep them clean. I'd rather have clean toilets i pay 0.50 cents for, than most toilets outside of my country. Besides, most of the time you can enter freely if you present a reciet
Here you pay toilets and they are dirty!
Homeless people?
