Story 1: And it's weird in so many movies when the villain forces a victim's face into the toilet for drowning. It's disgusting, of course, but over here, this would result in a bump in the head from the ceramic, but not in a wet face. Unless you flush, of course.

Story 2: On my first stay in the US, I clogged up the toilet by one normal usage. I flushed twice to force it down, but instead, it overflowed. Totally different mechanism, that!

Weird cultural differences.
