PIC: These rules for using the toilet in the Olympic village are very strange

Rosanna Cooney

We’ve honestly never seen this before.

With 204 nations competing in Rio, variations in toilet etiquette are to be assumed.

The Olympic organisers, however, got a bit creative with their interpretation of the bowl’s possible functions.

The poster snapped by American basketballer Elena Delle Donne, in the Olympic village, is a pure testament to the diversity of our world.

The squatting makes sense, but was the ‘No Fishing’ commandment really necessary? And where’s better than the toilet for a good puke?

Stay strange, Rio.
