I hate turc style toilets. And as a son of Moroccan immigrant we always went to Morocco 2 months a year. We were alternating between my grandmother's house (with turc style toilets) and our house (Western style toilets) every 3 or 4 days. I've always tried my best to take a dump in our house. But for some reason we once stayed at my grandmother's house for like 10 days. It was horrible to live through. I made the trip back to our house just to unload myself. A fricking log came out. Very very painful. As I was losing weight, I stopped in the middle of it because I felt different kind of pain. I was fricking bleeding. So I finished very painfully and I took my time to not do more damage. It was still hurting avec a week. TL;DR : I bled from my anus because I'm afraid of turc style toilets.

I'm not familiar with turc style toilets, so I did a Google, and I'm still not sure what I'm looking at here. Could you explain how it works? I figure you are supposed to squat over it (which sounds sensible, I mean westerners buy those goofy squatty potty things to awkwardly emulate this) but I don't understand what the bucket is for? Or why there's a spigot at the floor level a meter away from the toilet?

Please have mercy on a confused westerner who wants to understand ๐Ÿ˜…

It's very simple. You squat over a tiny hole (which get clogged easily) and then you wash yourself with water. Of course as a westerner too, I was using toilet paper (which clogged the thing more), so yeah fun times.
