Toilet manner

It is obvious that different countries have different cultures. Going to Poland I was looking forward to see what would be different and what would be alike, what I wasn’t really anticipating was the big difference in toilet culture Poland had compared to Sweden. Normally in Sweden knocking at a door means kind off: Hi anybody there, can I come in?
Here people knock on the toilet door, first time I got so confused I didn’t know what to say and my mind just went on instinct.

- Yeah, öhh, come in…

Well luckily no one tried to get in. Now i find myself knocking on the toilet door to see if anyone is in there, the right thing to answer back to a knock is zajęty! (busy)

But the differences don’t stop there.

In Sweden we have a tendency to hit the big hole in the middle of the toilet; you know where you then flash down whatever you have done there. Well polish girls; I don’t know what’s up with them, but hitting the big hole in the middle of toilet seat seems to be very difficult (when it comes to pee), or maybe it is just not their thing. I don’t know I never had a problem hitting the hole; it must just be a cultural thing?

Written under no influence just confusion.
