The Rolled up Toilet Paper in the waste basket is a byproduct of living in Costa Rica... Most homes don't have suffcient water pressure to put the paper down the toilet hence they are brought up to put the paper in the waste basket not the toilet..

With that said, Its one of the things that drives me crazy.

They do the same thing in Mexico. The problem is most Mexicans don't change their habits when the come to the US. The stench they leave after using the bathroom is not only unbearable, but it lasts for hours. Now, that pisses me off!!!

It really pisses me off when said house DOES have the water pressure to put the paper down the toilet and they put it in the basket anyway...

Many Tico homes do not even have a seat in the bano, much less a door
Plus it gives the dog some food :shock:

Chicas have stolen my cologne before, so I leave the bathroom door open. So I prefer they leave it open when they go in to take a piss, and if they close the door, I politely ask them to leave it open. Unless she is one of the girls I have known a long time and can trust.

My first trip to Medellin I went to this nightclub that my cabdriver recommended. The place wasn't extravagant but certainly wasn't a dive either. After a few beers I had to go to the bathroom where there was one of those setups where you could buy tissue, cologne,gum, etc from the attendant. The interesting part however was that the attendants were 2 hot chicas.

Also the wall where they were situated was the same wall where the urinals were installed. Simply put, the chicas watched you do your business from a few feet away. I usually don't get stage fright but this was a little too personal. I should have inquired about the short term rate in the stalls. :)

I had many mexicans working for us legally on the h2b visa program for many years and we had to constantly speak to them about flushing the toilet paper. We used Porto potties as well and they would still not put it in the hole and just stuff up the urinal holes putting their shit paper in there. It's a very common thing for central America, and not just CR
