Bidet

So I've mentioned the bidets here. Some toilets here in Korea have about 10 buttons on them, and sometimes when I'm feeling random, yea, I like to hit the buttons and have a blast of ice cold water shoot my bum. It's quite nice, I'm not going to lie. The events that are described below however, I did not bargain for.

It was just a regular dinner, and I decided to go to the bathroom. Becky and Freya came with me. I went in first, and you know, did my thing. Then I decided it would be fun to hit the bidet button. So I did. Everything was fine and dandy for a minute, when I realized the water had been on quite a long time and had not turned off. So I hit the off button. Nothing happened. I hit it again, and the steady stream of water did not stop. At this point the girls are yelling at me because they have to pee, and my reply is "Seriously guys, I can't turn off the water!!!" I then unplugged the entire toilet, and the water KEPT ON COMING. I now realized that I was going to have to someone get my ass off the toilet, pull up my panties and my jeans and somehow slam the toilet cover down on this jetstream of water. Now imagine the following scene: I wiggle to the side, grab panties and jeans and in one swift movement stand up, pull them up, and yank down the toilet seat. The entire time the girls are still yelling "It's not funny Jasmin just turn it off!!" and I'm roaring back "I can't, seriously!" It was kind of funny.

So there we are, the three of us, staring at the closed toilet with water spraying out of it.

Stupid Korean Bidet
