I work in a large office and have noticed a few of the Indian Indians doing this mouth rinsing thing in the gents. What are they up to?

I could ask them, but that would break the rules - r.e. starting conversations in the gents loo.

You should address this question to STWs leading Cowboy... or his "friend".

I've found Indians to be very clean people. They care about education, appearance and have manners. Not a generalisation IMO.

Then there are their neighbours..

Doesn't matter what your opinon in that is a perfect example of a generalisation.

Isn't there a Chinese next to the Indian down the road from you Hora? What have you got against the Chinese? Do they have dirty worktops in there? Have they not cleaned the fish tank recently?

Try working in an office in India, like I am right now...you would be amazed with the rituals that go on in the toilets 😯

As said above they are a very clean people, they don't do the nose blowing tissue thing, it's all about snorting and swilling water 🙂

Actually I'm not falling for it. Enjoy your cowboy boots...

Which sits close (in a way) to personal experience. I can speak a fair bit of Punjabi and Urdu BTW.

'Neighbours' immediately had me thinking of ****stan, not China. Which neighbours are you on about hora?

Anyway, a quick search throws this up:

Although I've not seen any evidence of oil, or 15-20 minute duration. Might be related though.

Weird, I start thinking of Kylie and Jason, not ****stan.

Is this from your extensive traveling in the middle and far east? Whats Urdu for

"Oh those are pretty. Do you have the pink snakeskin in a size 7 please?"?

Made me spit some salad out.

Hora, it's not for [i]you[/i] to decide. Didn't you know that?

You don't get to say it. Other people make that decision based on what you say. Seems its a thumbs down from the massive. Next, have you thought about making a statement along the lines of

"some of my best friends are black/Asian/Bangladeshi/****stani/Gay/Lesbian one-legged munchkins*.... then go on to pontificate further?

My brother does maintenance for the royal mail.
He regularly has to mend toilets at the Gatwick sorting office as a certain section of society stand on the toilet rather than sit.
PS not Indians,before the lynch mob arrives.

Careful zippykona, any form of comment or experience will be classed as racism.

Sounds pretty risky to me. Have there ever been any incidents of them slipping on their own wee when balancing, falling off and smashing their heads on the sinks.

If your brother put a hidden camera in the toilets I'd say that in no time he'd have a few 'You've Been Framed' moments. £250 a pop. Not to be sniffed at

They're called perverts.

I might take up standing on the toilet bowl given how many times I have to clear up menstrual blood from the seats round here.

Is racism worse than sexism?

Pehaps we should install some hole-in-the-floor loos, in that case.
Much more hygenic and more difficult to break. I'd use them.

To say that the people of one country, let alone one of 1 billion people, are this or that is a generalisation, what are you getting so upset about?

Loved the news reports when a business (I think it was a shopping centre) did just that - 'Coming over here, taking away OUR thrones?'

When out in the Maldives I noticed that the loos were normally accompanied by a little shower hose to the side.

I thought this must be some sort of bidet type thing for washing your ar5e, and that when the maldivians come over to visit the UK they must be pretty shocked at our 'equivalent' - the ubiquitous toilet brush.

I do use the hose as a bog brush when I'm in Asia! Far better solution.
