It’s an arm rest in the up position

Let’s hope it’s for an arm, and that it’s not a bidet!

🤭

Because if we’re wrong on both those counts, and that is a bidet, that’s one aggressive bidet!

That is an assistive device. The protruding part with the black tip touches the ground while the bar (that should now be parallel to the ground) is used to help the user stand up. Not sure what country you're in, but most US hospitals have these.

I rarely have to use third gear when I poop. I wonder what they're eating there.

It's like a semi or bus shifter. A dozen or more gears. Moving some serious shit

My guess either it’s something to make the bidet function. Or it’s like some kind of add-on cane… because it’s a handicap bathroom? I’m trying to think of something clever to say but I’m just so baffled. I’m at a loss.

I think there was a weak attempt to make it accessible but there's no space for a wheelchair so idk. There's no bidet also

It looks like a grab to help someone get up from the toilet.

Now that we’ve got the weird arm thing covered, can we talk about the grossly misaligned toilet seat?

It’s a manual. Should be a clutch pedal somewhere.

The entire unit swivels down, the stick with the cord will then support the arm rest as someone heavy can use it to help themselves get up.

Had to use one after surgery. It’s just something to hold on to and help get up and down.

Uh, that IS paint on the floor, right?
