Off Topic: WTF? Is it just a culture thing?

[Mr Punch]

The squat ain't too bad once you get used to it.

It's good for the leg muscles, it's good to sober you up, and according to Chinese medical lore it's good for the kidneys: however, it's really bad for giving you piles.

The fact that in most stations in Japan of a night most of them have been used by drunken salarimen with yaki-niku, too-much-beer-and-coffee-to-sober-them-up bowels (or just useless drunken gaijin with weak squat muscles) who haven't sat straight pretty much guarantees them a pass from me.

+1 for the squatter.....once you get used to it.

But never use one if you`ve been drinking or you`re liable to need a change of pants.

I never did use a squatter while drinking. It is something I pointedly avoided.
