Achtung

When I left to Pakistan earlier this year, I realized that when I did get back, I wouldn't have too much time to find a place (with school starting and all), so I subletted my friends place and she was gonna find me a roomate. Well she did find me a roomate, she found me a very nice German girl to live with. Which is fine, and everything is working...no problems...

Now I have this little problem with my dissapearing lota. You see I use a lota, she uses toilet paper. She doesn't understand what this 'flower pot' is doing in the washroom. So she keeps moving it around. To my shock and frustration, because its not always easy to locate. I realize I can easily remedy the situation by explaining to her that I use the lota, but I opt not too. It seems like an odd conversation to have. So at times I try to hide the lota under the bathroom sink, but somehow she finds it and uses it to water her plants and do other non-lota like activities.

What do you guys think I should do about this lota problem? Any suggestions?

Keep it in your room, and bring it along when u go to the bathroom, and take it back with u when u leave. I am assuming she wouldnt browse around ur bedroom

hmcq

ROTFL.... good luck yaar
Another time another place I was in your place... i think its just best you keep the "lota" to yourself.....

I wonder if she will flip on hearing what her "watering pot" is upto sometimes of the day.....

lemme me know what happens....

I had a similar problem....but fortunately my gora roommate figured it out himself once he tasted the nihari...his exact words hmmm 'Now I can see why you need water to extinguish the fire'
so buddy nihari might be the way to go for germans too...Invite her for a dinner and put her behind on fire too

ciao,

hahahhahahhahahhahahhahahaha

this is funny.
i have a remedy for this situation too. i say put some dodo on the lota and show her what its really used for. yup, that oughta teach her a lesson in lota science. it might give u a bathroom of ur own too.

hahahhahahhahahhahahhahaha thats the funniest thing i have heard in a long time.

Back in Pakistan, living in a boarding school, the lotas there used to be chained to the toilets so noone would take them away or misplace them, or noone would be caught locked in a toilet in a compromising position without a lota. Do the same. Chain it to the seat, and lock it with a combination lock, preferably Yale, or Master lock. Guaranteed satistying toilet visits day in and day out.

Dear Achtung. You have to be honest with her. You should consider a demo for her on the usage of Lota. Pretend that you don’t know anything about the Toilet Paper either, use it as a note pad or something and she will get the message. Don’t ask her for a demo. Deutscher Esel saugt! Erklaren Sie ihr, das sie wissen sollte, das Turken in Deutschland die gleiche Methode fur das Reinigen verwenden.

Good luck.

Achtung Sahib!

Try explaining to her as to why you use lota. Tell her it is always better to wash than to wipe. If it does not work, try the following.

Keep a flower pot in the washroom. She would then readily understand why there is a lota.

Invite her to Nihari as suggested by someone. I am concerned, she might not add sugar into the water, before washing.

Please never part with this lota. Yes this particular one, as it has not only seen everything of yours, but maybe hers too!!!. So as it is relying upon your trust, you ought to reciprocate.

Been There Done that !!!!!
Except that i was (and am) in the dorms and couldn't leave the lota in the bathroom cuz anything found in the bathroom becomes property of the janitor! So i had to explain it to him why i want to keep it there and he suggested a good place for it too (i am using rooms in place of room cuz we have community bathrooms here). I agree with others that you should just keep it in your room, and carry it to the bathroom whenever you want lighten your load

I'd like to share the story of this indian-kuwaiti friend of mine who found himself in a similar situation and came up with a very creative idea, which was very effective, but made everybody doubtful about his character!!

He had this thick plastic shopping bag which our bookstore gives away when you purchase something. He used to hide the lota in it and carry it to the bathroom and if anybody saw him carrying it around, he would think that he must have come back from the store. Obviously he had to use it at odd hours when bookstore wasn't open and people started getting curious about the bag that Mr.X always carried to the bathroom. (i'll call him mr.X for the sake of confidentiality). Too bad for Mr.X that he was living with guys who were not so sharif and did not believe in minding their own business. The toilets are like the ones you see in malls and other public places. You can take a peek into the adjacent one if you stand on the seat. Out of curiosity, a couple of guys got into a toilet right next to the one Mr.X was in, and they saw him using the lota.(their timing was righ too )
Shouldn't have been a big deal, but the dumb fellows failed (or pretended to fail) to comprehend its purpose. For the sake of decensy, i won't exactly quote what they said about it, but before Mr.X could explain anything about it, everybody on the floor was talking about Mr.X having sex with the flower pot in the bathroom.

Moral: It's better to be laughed at for what you do, than getting ridiculed for what you don't

There is another way...
Dont use Lota at all... but instead, get in the bath tub, open up the tap and do your stuff. Thats what I do when I'm in a hotel or something...!

L0stB0y

LOL!

Peoples Champ

Well when i go somewhere I take one of those plastic cups. I just put my water in that and no one even knows what's going on.
Or u could I guess I just thought of this now so it's kind of stupid and some might not agree and I don't either. But really wet a toliet paper, and then.. etc..
But that's stupid.

Anyways if anyone catches u, just tell them straight.. AT LEAST WE'RE MORE CLEAN. You guys just use a stupid toliet paper, and just wipe it, without cleaning your...
We're more hygenic, and also WHITE doctor's have said that's actually very good to do. Like I said good hygean.

Oh well Zaalim that's pretty funny though hahahahahahaha.

After reading Zaalim's story, I recall my college time where I once saw the following inscribed on the wall

ye hamari bad nasibi howay aik bar khatnay
agar bar bar hotay tou buhat nokdaar hota

after few days someone wrote under it

ye tumhari khush nasibi howay aik bar khatnay
agar bar bar hotay tou maidaan saaf hota

I think Achtung has pretty maney suggestions. He/she may be confused now what to do.

pathwari

The solution is very simple :
just convert her to islam and our culture and the lota will be a very popular thing.

johnd

Ama ACHTUNG, main to sumjah tha kay tum larkey ho, phir yeah German SHE kay sath Room keon share kar rahey ho. Well it's up to you and good luck. Just tech her how to use Lota.

Achtung,

In virtually every post, you make it a point to mention your female roommate .... even when its not necessary. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this.

Your either consider it incredibly good fortune and are excited beyond belief ... or think that its a very hip thing ! Well kid, get over it.

Going (no pun) to the lota problem, I suggest you honestly explain what you use it for. And even if it ain't so, I hope, for your sake, you tell her that its a combo of TP and lota.

Dev.
ps: The other solution ofcourse is to find your own place .... but then you'll have nothing to talk about (other than the over-analysed CBCD issues).

Thanks for the advice everyone...I think I may have the situation under control now...

I think you are actually the only one who "noticed this" ...because its not true . I've mentioned her once before, in a Sesame Street post. Your imagining things.

Devuchka wrote: "Your either consider it incredibly good fortune and are excited beyond belief ... or think that its a very hip thing ! Well kid, get over it."

I don't think neither, your judgment of who I am is totally off base and uncalled for . Re-read my posts, you'll see that I've never mentioned her before and where I have (twice including this post) its for a purpose. I didn't have to mention my roomates gender in this post, but I thought it would help put things in perspective. Your mind is playing tricks on you - probably the result of too much mind numbing 'ragging'.

<Yawns>

Thats the third time you judged me in this post, its getting kinda old. I haven't mentioned her in any other posts (than the ones I've mentioned). The only one who has nothing to talk about here is you. You've demonstrated that by fabricating this lie, just so that you can talk about and judge me . Anyways, I don't mind the attention. I know very well that you and your very confused rag friends (VCRFs) are running out of things to talk about. Your over-nourished egos have had about all they can take, bringing down others is a great way of making yourself feel better.

Achtung

ps: you don't know me well enough to judge me and I don't know you well enough to judge you...

Well, in my case she already knew about it. However, she did ask once why guys would need water after 'number one'. My simple response to this complex query was 'Hey, what can I say, we are just cleaner species'. (Pun was definitely inteded given that I was an illegal alien back then).
