earthquake country
That’s cool! Here in the states people have no problem using the entire elevator as their bathroom
Could you turn around a minute?
>Emergency items such as drinking water, emergency light, toilet paper and deodorant are installed on this chair.
I don’t know deodorant is an emergency item, that’s a good thing because I prefer to smell fresh after shitting myself in an elevator.
The Japanese really have figured out everything about toilets. They’ve been setting the standard for a long time.
I lived way too much of my life without a washlet
Lmaooo. That is a nice idea but imagine being stuck in the elevator with someone who has explosive diarrhea. 🤮😆
For the same reason there is a toilet on some buses I guess. But this one…only in Japan!
“What floor?”
“Number two, please.”
This shit is on another level
We need these in the US. Remember when a guy was caught in a New York elevator for 3 days? The emergency and fire buttons in the elevator were not connected. And the elevator had a camera that security guards were monitoring 24 hours a day in the lobby. There’s video footage of the camera monitoring the security guards were you could see the stuck guy in the elevator on one of the screens the guards were monitoring. He could have used this…. several times.
Can’t have that in NYC. It’d be overflowing.
Hey, American here, we could use these in our classrooms for active shooter situations!!!
Pee corner established!
We have to establish a pee corner!
Not sure if good thing or bad thing
Impress your friends by taking a dump in front of them.
They established the pee corner
Dwight Schrute approves
Really interested in how the plumbing works with something like that
Just a lid on a hole in the floor.
This is because earthquakes are not unusual in some parts of Japan, and getting stuck in an elevator for a long time in an earthquake is not unusual …
Thank goodness there is deodorant. Can you imagine being stuck in an elevator and smelling of BO? Better to smell nice as you drop a deuce in front of the other 6 passengers. We’re not monsters.
“We have to establish a pee corner!”
I got stuck in an elevator with a family and not 5 min into being stuck the little kid started doing the “I gotta pee” dance. We all turned into opposite corners and the kid peed into a plastic bag they had. Definitely not a great experience for anyone haha
People in the US would rather complain than actually do anything about an issue, especially if involves making someone’s life better.
Are you more likely to get trapped in an elevator due to earthquakes there?
As someone with Ulcerative colitis, this could be a life saver in an elevator breakdown situation.
I’m guessing because of the earthquakes they have over there often? It’s pretty cool.
It says not only it can be used as emergency toilet, it also stores emergency water/torch/toilet paper/deodorants.
So I assume this is not to be used as an emergency toilet in normal circumstances, like someone need the toilet urgently, but to be used in real disaster. In normal situation, it says as it says in English, take a break, so people can sit on it to take a break, if you are tired/ need to sit down.
[Japan started installing these in elevators after an earthquake caused many people to be stuck in elevators for up to 70 minutes.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/06/03/toilets-in-elevators-the-new-japanese-idea-that-isnt-as-crazy-as-it-sounds/)
