unbillievable Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 It's a cultural thing. This isn't unusual in Russia.
Jauronimo Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Its a remnant from the Soviet era. Classic counter espionage. Not only can you not keyster your micro film without your dumping buddy noticing and reporting you to the secret police, but its easy to see who is out of place when confronted with public defecation. Many a western spy's cover was blown when they hesitated to saddle up next to Boris and pinch a loaf. One of the seldom told tales of the Cold War.
Azalin Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 twin toilets makes sense. isn't that why it's called a 'number two'?

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 @ Philmont, there were these configurations of latrines. Take special note of the "pilot to bombardier" configuration... Back to back seating, offered a bit more privacy, but each person could look out for bears by enabling a 180 degree view w/that help: http://philmont.wikia.com/wiki/Latrine http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/thepumpdoctor/4873153668/ "...The other configuration, called the "pilot to bombardier", is generally preferred because its two seats are back-to-back and offer somewhat more privacy than the "pilot to copilot".
Dante Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Encourage community handholding while you poop Wow. Even our nasty plastic outhouses used at concerts and so on have more class and dignity that that.
