  3. I saw this guy. He was wondering what to do because he didn’t have toilet paper.
  4. He took out a piece of cigarette foil paper [wrapper].
  5. Folded it in half and then folded it in half again.
  6. Folded it until it was 1/4 of its original size.
  7. Tore off a corner.
  8. Opened it up–
  9. And then like this–
  10. He reached behind… (picture left out)
  11. Then…
  12. He pulled the foil paper up, wiping off the majority…

悍马任奔:

Disgusting just looking at it.

ccww1812:

If everyone was like this, who knows how many forests can avoid being cut down, very suitable for energy-saving environmentally-friendly low-carbon lifestyle requirements!

lazily:

Brave man! Using your underwear is better though!

扣分无理由:

A pair of CK [underwear] isn’t cheap~~! Hehe

Raise a toothless dog behind the toilet, wouldn’t that save even more paper? Hehe, it can just lick you.

祖国的兵:

Pro!!!

That method is indeed good, but one doggy cannot be shared by both men and women.”

杀伐酷酷:

Pretty environmentally friendly.

这才叫深度:

[responding to zbklzl]

Stupid, just raise two dogs, one tied to each restroom, and then no one needs to bring toilet paper anymore.

xaqqqwt:

This guy has ulterior motives. If everyone were like this, wouldn’t paper mills all go bankrupt? We should actively promote contributing to the country’s economy.  If you can use one roll, use 2. If you can go to the restroom once, split it into two times. Only this way can our motherland boom!

砍棒子:

Use your shoe bottom.

88319888:

Use your socks! If you don’t have socks, then use your shoe pad/insoles!

xiangjianfeng:

Once while my classmates were eating I demonstrated this method.

In the end, the entire class didn’t eat very well.

What do you do if you don’t smoke?

  1. yay!!!! im first son! skeet skeet!

  2. that is disgusting

  3. Jesus Christ. I nearly heaved at the sight of that choudoufu on his finger.

    • that’s nothing.. i remember one time i went to take a piss in a restroom in shanghai. the smell was absolutely rancid. some dude was taking a shit on a squatter without even fully closing the door. not only did the guy not flush the toilet afterwards, but he also didn’t even wipe his ass at all!! how do i know that he didn’t wipe his ass? cause there was no waste basket and he didn’t flush the toilet, leaving a monstrous pile of steaming crap in his wake.

  4. 你的体温怎样?
    你的手应该变干净!
    远离脏东西
    晚饭以前
    W.C以后

    洗洗你的手!
    和我一起洗洗你的手

    五毛党 forever

  5. The problem of no toilet paper, or the problem of no good way to wash your hands afterwards? sanitation is where it is at, and the police state which is conceder with stopping the spread of epidemics still does have well enforced policy on sanitation issues such as cleaning hands after using a washroom.

    Is it class or is it a consumerism guiding ideology that in Canada there are hand sanitizer stations everywhere, ESPECIALLY at the universities.

    Policing as governance works everywhere and especially through propaganda and public relations. Anyone in Vancouver should check out some of the provincial gov propaganda with the ads in skytrain stations

    @Ke Da Fu its
    whats your body temperature?
    you hands must be clean!
    get the dirt off
    b4 dinner
    after the wc

    wash your hands!
    wash your hands with me

    50 cents forever!!!!

  6. It was a sad day when they withdrew the one Fen note.

  7. This is a really old post. Saw this a few years ago.

  8. I wonder what Han Han would say to this…

    “STOP THE PRESSES!!!!! CCP IS STEALIN YOUR TOILET PAPUR HURRRRR!!! A GUBBERMENT THAT CANNOT PROVIDE TOILET PAPUR TO HIS CITIZEN IS NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE!!!111 I AM SECOND LU XUN FOR SAYING THIS!!!11 WILL I BE HARMONIZED NAO?!”

  9. I should also say, that I was once in the 2nd best (apparently) hospital in the city when I had to poop water again (haven’t we all!). I got to the WC which stunk to high heaven, and what do I see? A long trough, and everybody squatting over it. I saw the biggest human turds in there that I’d ever seen. And obviously, no toilet paper. Luckily I had a receipt from a KEDI in my pocket. This was 2 years ago in a city in Jiangsu province that is now building a subway system. A city with a subway system mind you, but a hospital with no fucking toilet paper. Priorities!

    • I’ve had similar experiences in that Jiangsu city beginning with an “S” and let’s just say their modern hospitals are facades…. no toilet paper, no soap, blood syringes on the floor…. yummo.

  10. Foreign Friends (Laowei Faggots) should know already that Paper and Tissues are generally very very damn precious in China. Ever noticed that in restaurants they demand seperate payment for their tissues?

    You dont have to carry your 250$ Jack Wolfskin high durability long-range scout trekking back-pack with integrated camel-pack drinking system with you, for just sitting in a stupid-ass laowei bar in the typical laowei-street, but you definitely have to take at least one small package of tissues with you at any time.

    *Just a protip for the most of you frustrated english teachers out here, shitting water and forced to clean your butt with your index fingers.

  11. And that is why i carry a pack of Tempo with me always

  12. Haha,another set of fake “candid” photos.

  13. What the poster saw tells me there was no running water or separate cubicals in these “toliets” I suppose he was doing his business in those holes in the ground. Why he had to watch the guy wipe his butt is beyond me.
    I think they don’t put toilet paper in a lot of the toilets coz people tend to steal them. This is why it’s common for Chinese (women at least)people to equip themselves with tissues before going to a public toilet.

  14. recently a japanese man found himself in a similar situation, twittered about it… and somebody came to his rescue.

    http://gizmodo.com/5535769/twitter-user-brings-toilet-paper-to-desperate-japanese-man

    I guess we’re stuck with using cigarette foil in china

  15. I hope he wasn’t a chef going back to work!

  16. Back when I was in Beijing, when I knew I was going out for a while I would always throw a roll of TP in my bag. Saved me (and my less thoughful friends) on many occasions!

  17. this is ooooold.. a friend told me this like 10 years ago dude

  18. You don’t use the restroom if there isn’t any.

    Alwayscheckbeforeyoustartshit.jpg

  19. Chinese are really HiTech.. All because of Expo!!

  20. I would not be surprised if it is a public bathroom to see that there isn’t any TP in there…

    But in Beijing, at least, most shopping malls have TP and soap in the bathrooms now. So imagine my surprise when going to the can at the Zhongguancun Carrefour with the runs (from some unsanitary food, I reckon), and there’s no TP to be seen! Ran around the mall, and there’s no place to buy it, neither! Except, of course, carrefour with long lines…..

    Anyway, thank goodness for Starbucks, the only place civilized enough to have some napkins out in the open……..

  21. Some countries where people do not use paper to wipe their backside use a tap and hose. Be careful if you see the wall turning brown.

  22. Old joke is old. I first heard this in Thailand in ’96

  23. this is what is taught when u are in army… nothing new…

  24. One word: innovative.

  25. socks.. use your socks!!

  26. I think there’s always the risk that some migrant worker will go into the stalls and steal the entire roll of toilet paper to bring home to his family. That’s why places are reluctant to provide it.

    And a lot of men in western China don’t use any toilet paper. They are probably puzzled at this post, too. They’re thinking ‘why would he do anything other than zip up and crush out his cigarette after shitting?’

  27. praise to the great and glorius china government. only the chinese man can think to use a the condom wipe ass. you the disgusting white man can go to hell, you are the a more disgusting!

  28. Someone asked me who is the ‘them’
    I answered the propagandists, and the ‘peace time propagandists’ public relations agents.
    Clautair Rappai, a marketing adviser, is one of the them. He conducts group studies to determine code words of products. Key’s to advertising their success.
    The American ‘code’ for toilet paper? Freedom. Finally the long time coming answer to why americans think that China has no freedom? the lack of toilet paper!!!!
    I had to pay a 无毛 fee on google books to learn about this ;)

  29. this is downright disgusting……
    i was expecting some ingenious way to get out of that sticky situation, didn’t expect he resolve to use the finger……

  30. “Use your socks! If you don’t have socks, then use your shoe pad/insoles!”

    WTF! Even if this wasn’t just crazy enough already, I want to know who the hell- while squatting, with pants around ankles, and nothing to grab onto- can get to their shoe insoles or socks for a better ass wiping!
    ROTFL. The mental image is lovely…

  31. Dear hongjian,
    it’s not that paper is precious in China it’s because your country is too fucking cheap to install plumbing that can handle a wad of paper. it can handle only soft watery stool caused by your shitty food made with recycled oil that you poor douche bags use to cook with. I make so much money here when I run out of TP I use a 100RMB note and give your glorious leader chocolate milk stash! garrr!

  32. a 1 yuan coin works a treat..

    you can even use it afterwards to buy a bottle of water.

    kids can opt for the smaller 0.5 yuan coin.. maybe they can buy a candy with it when they’re done

  33. old old joke as far as i know

  34. Its Volkssport for us krauts. Complaining that is.
