Just out of morbid curiosity. Do you sit or stand up to wipe, maybe even both?

Some people who grew up with squat toilets, like to squat on other toilets too. Thats why in some countries you see a lot of signs like this in public stalls:

What's the best way to go to the toilet – squatting or sitting?

I saw signs like that in Japan at Chinese establishments. Also ones showing that you face away from the toilet while sitting on it.

Blew my mind.
