If you travel abroad to any country that borders the Mediterranean Sea or Asia you may find yourself confronted with this upon entering a public toilet. This won't happen to you if you surround yourself in Four Season's luxury and dine in places with no fewer than three Michelin Stars, but for the rest of us this is what we will face. They will be found in all road side rest areas and some bars.I was speaking to a district nurse recently and the subject was constipation. She always recommends that if one of her patients is constipated, the closer they get to a squatting position when trying to have a movement, the easier things will be on your backside. Same with children. If they're "bound up" get their old potty back out. The squatting position will aid things immeasurably.
In the meantime, if you're faced with this style of public convenience, behave like a seasoned traveller and pretend that it doesn't bother you. Millions of people, clean people, use them every day without pitching a fit about it. Anybody who has ever been camping should be cool. What are you going to do in there anyway, eat your lunch? Just try not to splash your shoes or let your trouser legs get damp.

You obviously travel in better circles than I do. :-)
Not for all the money in the world would I ever use one of those.
