Call me Drew, call me a geek, call me a freak for all I care! Either way, this post is not going to score me any points with the ladies due to the European nature of the topic. Perhaps this post will brand me very guy-esque, but that’s the risk I am going to take in order to spread a little hygienic knowledge and proper etiquette in my euro-centric water closet.

In all fairness, new guy at work initially brought up the idea, and being impulsively curious I just ran with it. About a week ago I was sitting at my desk eating some Swedish Fish when new guy asked me if I have any experience with bidets. Like most Americans I responded with a suspicious no, not quite knowing where he was going. Oh but he was diving down deep and the Swedish Fish were not coming. Nothing like getting to know your new co-workers than with a conversation about cleaning up after a toosee.

Regardless of the details I am sparing you, I decided to research the subject more thoroughly. After all, just about every other country east of us has jumped on the bidet wagon. So like any good researcher I started with wikipedia, moved to google and finished on ebay. Somewhere in there I read lots of engaging information, including an interesting dog dun example. Whatever the reason, I decided to take the plunge with new guy claiming to follow suit if I had a successful experience.

Lucky for me, the cheap 15 dollar bidet turned out to be a positively cleansing experience with only a minor flooding incident during installation (don’t tell the landlord.) However, I have realized that many of my house guests will not know what the thing is attached to the toilet! So I decided to create a Bidet Etiquette post-it for when you need reading material on my jon. Since bidets are catching wind in America, I thought it would be a good idea for me to share my post-it with everyone so you can not only be prepared for my spectacular loo, but your neighbors head aswell.
