Explanation: The Romans, counterintuitively to modern Western norms, found the public toilets a place for socialization - a great place to have a painful shit, play a game of tic-tac-toe between the seats, make some connections - maybe even, as one satire of the 1st century AD mocks a man, get a nice dinner invitation if you chat up enough shitters! You've emptied your bowels - why not ensure that they will soon be refilled?
