Tokyo Toilet Terror

Average: 3.6 (35 votes)

During my stay in Tokyo, the hotel room was identical to any American-style hotel I’ve stayed in, but the toilet was different. I’d never seen a toilet with a built-in control panel and retractable bidet. It came with instructions and a warning label. I was literally scared of the toilet in my hotel room. It could sense my presence when I walked in the bathroom. Then it would slowly raise its lid, and a low sinister humming would begin. That was the sound of the bidet’s water pump motor warming up. A light would come on from within the toilet bowl, and there it would be, glowing in the dark, humming ominously, waiting for me. Waiting to get me.

Poor Julie! She obviously does not live the luxury life stye. If she did, she would have immediately known that her hotel was an establishment of great discernment and devoted to catering to her supreme comfort! The name of the manufacturer of this toilet is synonymous with and recognized as the most innovative and luxurious brand of automated toilets in the world. In the US there is huge demand for this line of products in the highend interiors business. But me thinks that Julie's corporate travel department is, instead of looking out for corporate profits, rather catering to Julie's rising level of asperations!

Better than the low-tech toilets in India:

hahahahahahahahaha.
that sounds so ominous.

toilets are not supposed to be ominous.

I experienced a similar toilet but not quite as automated. This one had the buttons on the side in Japanese. So being curious, I pushed one of the buttons while leaning over with my head very close to the bowl. Suddenly a little plastic stick with small holes popped out Luckily I realized just in time what was about to happen. I jerked back out of the way just in time to avoid getting a Japanese toilet facial.

That's so awesome...

So long as it doesn't sprout hundreds of little legs, I think you're gonna be OK. :P

I can't wait until these are available in US hotels!

I think it wanted to be fed?!?!?!

Tokyo Toilet Terror sounds like a good name for a metal band
