Every day when I'm on the throne I think it would be so nice to give my bottom the proper cleaning it deserves. And I'm astounded by the fact that after all these centuries, we in north America can't stand the idea of a bidet.
I mean we certainly spend gallons of water cleaning everything else except the one body part that does the dirtiest business.
Instead of using water like civilized people, we dry wipe our butts and come up with nasty pop culture words like dingleberries.
I remember there was an ad a few years ago by one of the TP companies... maybe Charmin... they were trying to sell wet wipes, with the idea that you wouldn't just put shampoo on your dry hair, so why would you dry clean you butt when you know it doesn't do the job. And there was such a backlash from the public, they cancelled the ad.
A few years ago, I got the chance to try a handheld bidet nozzle in my home. It was hooked up to the main water line feeding into the toilet tank. So the water came out with plenty of pressure. I tell you, it was the best feeling... nothing feels better than a super clean butthole after taking a dump.
When I mentioned this to a coworker, he made such a disgusted face... I just didn't get it. We certainly don't dry wipe the rest of our body... so why such a resistance to cleaning our butthole with water??

We are originally from South Asia and hosting/feeding people lavishly is a big part of our culture. We’ve recently moved to North America and are a bit confused by the culture. One of our friends invited us and another couple over for swimming at their pool yesterday along with our respective kids. About an hour into swimming they served a small platter of kebabs and bread which was quickly polished off. Towards the evening the hostess told her husband that she heard one of the kids complaining to his mom about a stomach ache because he’s hungry and suggested that they order some food. The host proceeded to go into their pantry and pull out half a bag of animal crackers. As those were also quickly finished off, it was clear that the kids were still hungry, including their kid. The host then made each child a toast with peanut butter. The child with the stomach ache ate his entire toast, his brothers toast and half of my daughters but no one offered to make him or any of the other new toast. As we left, I was a bit disturbed by the experience. The couple hosted us very warmly, allowed our children to play with all of their kids toys and consistently offered us beverages but I was a bit disturbed and confused by this experience. If I were in that position I would have instantaneously whipped up a quick meal for the kids or ordered some pizza’s but I found it strange that they didn’t do the same, especially since they are not financially strained at all.
I’ve had a few experiences like this (attending a first birthday where there was no cake for any child except a smash cake for the birthday boy, going for play dates where the only snacks served are the ones I take etc) and I’m starting to wonder if it’s my expectations that are the issue and if the culture around hosting is truly is that different in North America?
Edit: Thank you all SO much for sharing your thoughts and helping me better adjust - I am so touched by how helpful this community has been! I wasn’t aware that there were such strong regional differences and learned a lot from the responses.
In this particular instance, I agree what a lot of responses have highlighted - that we, along with the other guests, overstayed our welcome. I appreciate you helping me see that and sharing tips on how to better navigate such a situation in the future.
Thank you again!
