This all seems like a gigantic PITA.
"Some bidets do not have jets, but instead simply have a faucet that fills the basin, as you would fill a sink basin" So then what? You sit your ass in there and swish it around? |

I've worked customer service/retail, I know where she's coming from. When it gets that bad, you have to take a step back and breathe a little. |

Yeah, someone pisses you off, you just accidentally drop your hammer on their foot, or swing around when you're carrying a 2 X 4 and say" I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch what you said," and while doing this neatly catching them upside the head.

That would make retail a LOT more fun.....
She was on commission and people would come and ask for the English girl. I think most people commenting on ones accent are just being friendly, I don't understand why it should bother anyone. |

Of course not. It's the single most natural thing in the world. In fact, I'm adopting the practice as soon as I get home. We don't have a bidet due to some unfortunate and inexplicable oversight on our builder's part, but I reckon with a little effort I could utilize the Jaccuzzi tub as a reasonable facsimilie.

Re: Different Words
Hi there, I'm new here.
Your posts about bidets were the best. I come from Argentina, where every single bathroom in every single house (no matter how rich or poor) has a bidet. The comment asking if bidets come with pictures showing how to use them made me laugh out loud. The idea is that you use both toilet paper and then you move to the bidet and use the towel afterwards. As for people constantly asking you where you are from, it gets annoying. At least Americans know where England is... Argentina is a whole different matter. They ask me if we eat Mexican food... I'm like... Argentina is the last country before the South pole... far far far away from mexico... But I do love the cultural differences. Like the first time I came to Vermont, I asked where I could go for waxing (In Buenos Aires, you can get your whole body waxed for like $10) and they look at me like I was crazy. So then I tried to buy and electric hair remover only to find that noone had any idea what i was talking about. It also took me a while to figure out how to work the shower faucet (the whole only one faucet that has to be pulled out to make water come out) and I clearly remember trying to light the burner on the stove with a match until I realized it was electric. Cup holders and to-go coffee are another big difference, haha. |

Re: Different Words
hahaha here I was, complaining no-one knows about Argentina and I had no idea that we even made firearms XD (XD = LOL... just in case it's one of those cultural differences).
Thanks for all the welcomes :D Anyone from Vermont? And I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comment :$ Besides the lack of knowledge when it comes to Argentine cuisine =P, all the Americans I've met are always super interested in your culture. They always want to know how things work in your country. I find that very nice. |
