Also I think that Europe has SO many distinctly different cultures that in most cases is almost impossible to make a statement that applies to everyone. It's like when an American says "I can do a really good Irish accent." First of all no such thing, there is a town 15k away from the one I live in and it is two completely different accents for both towns. Second of all no matter what you say unless you are from Ireland and have lived there most of your life, you can't do any of the Irish accents right. It may sound right to someone not from here but ask any Irish person and they will tell you no one who isn't Irish can do the accent right.

It's just always felt weird to me to count tangible, physical things including a zeroth one. In most buildings in America I've seen that have underground floors, they're typically labeled as: Ground is 1, first below ground floor is called 1B (B meaning basement), below that is 2B, and so on. So you'd have 2B, 1B, 1, 2, 3... Imagine I put some apples in a line: green, green, green, red, red, red. Then I tell you to take the first red apple from the center of the line. You'd take the farthest left red apple. Making the analogy that the red ones represent above ground floors, and the green ones represent the basement floors, there is no "Zeroth" apple. That's not to say I don't get the system at all. It makes sense in its own way, and if I were to move to Europe, I could get used to it quickly, but it still seems odd.

There are European languages where calling the ground floor "1st floor" would not make any sense since the specific word for "floor" requires said floor to be above something... aka above some sort of "ground floor" (which uses an entirely different term)...

About the drugs in bathrooms: In Switzerland we used to have an open drug scene in the 80s and 90s. Since it was illegal, lots of people took their drugs in public bathrooms. To combat this problem, in public bathrooms in areas where lots of addicted people would go, they simply installed blue lights so you can’t see your veins and can’t shoot up. To combat the problem overall, they did not legalise any kind of drugs but if you are addicted, you can go to certain places and they will give you your dose for free. That is so people use sanitized equipment, are under supervision and monitored, don’t run the risk of using some deadly substance and are encouraged to stop using. Also, they don‘t spend all their money on drugs and are thus more likely to get back on their feet again. Additionally, in public bathrooms, you’ll find little holes in the wall where you can throw in your used needles so no one steps on it or anything.

About paying for bathrooms, I have a few thoughts of why: 1. Profit. 2. A "paywall" to reduse damage on property. 3. Money to pay the repairment and maintenance. 4. Regulate people using the restroom. 5. Making sure you at least get some money from the person that used the restroom. (incase of restroom being owned by the resturant/shop/etc owner nearby or something). 6. "Tourist trap"/ crowded/ popular area = easy profit from the crowd. (I'm talking with bathrooms that is not INSIDE the resturants/cafés/etc in mind (but can imply for that too) as they often is "you can use it, but at least buy 1 item" rule which I find pretty logic as the bathroom is for custumers)

Well it depends all about which country you are in. Some countries tipping is expected. Manual labor (helping with your bags etc.), resturants, etc. Some countries you are expected to tip for these things. In some countries they have an expected tipping range of x to y amount of money or else you are rude. While some countries tipping isn't that common or part of the culture. Some countries you are expected to haggle, while some don't. So it really depend on the country if e.g you have to pay for the restroom, have to tip the porters/bagboys/etc, have to tip for good service and everything. Some people live of tipping while some live of regualting and charging people that use the restrooms and some want more profit. And I'm talking about different countries in general, not just Europe.

It ususlly doesn't cost much to use them, but I guess it is discriminatory against the poor who can't afford it. IDK I'm not really from a country where you pay for restrooms, so this is only what I assume and read. You can read more about it under "pay toilet" on wikipedia, if you want.

@cephalonhope8006

@John Smith I live in a country where I do not pay, but I have been in Germany and went trough this. Basically, the system works, public bathrooms where I live are most of the times avoided, since the cleaning isnt exactly done to the brim, and some people doent exactly care about who will use them next, so I can say I have found my fair share of "If I didnt need to pee I would never step on this place" kind of public toilets. Now, in Germany however, I first came face to face whit the "paywall" wen I went to a supermarket, the bathroom basically had a turnstile and we had to pay a lady/cleaner that was sitting on her booth so she would let us enter, and let me say that bathroom was clean af, and it was like 6pm, plus, I experienced something I never expected to happen, basically, I had some "problems" and took a bit more than normal to finish the business, and it seems that cleaning lady noticed that I had not left yet and out of worry asked me if everything was okay and if there was any emergency, it was pretty unexpected but weirdly welcome. (not sure if this happens everywhere though). So yea, I dunno about people peeing outside or SF and LA culture, but it seems to work on the city where I stayed and it seems that not only are the cleaners way more motivated to do their job, but people also respect public bathrooms more since they know they are paying to use them.

"Haggis you guys just can't be satisfied".. You, my friend, have just earned yourself a subscribe, I laughed way too hard at that. Thank you.

I feel like the ground floor thing does make a lot of sence. Ground floor, in my book, is floor zero, so when you build under ground those floors can then be labeled -1, -2... Also the thing someone said about certain languages which require a floor to be above something!

In some countries in Europe the numbering system of “floors” is really easy and totally logical. Those countries don’t use the term “floor”, but instead make a distinction between the “base” layer, and the layers that are stacked on top. So for example in Dutch the ground floor is called “begane grond”, which translates to “the ground you walk on”, and subsequent higher floors are called 1st, 2nd etc “etage” (which is the French word for stage). Ground floor in those countries is therefore always indicated with a 0 (zero) in elevators, or lifts, as we prefer to call them ;-)

Evan: "Why would I ever want to drive a stick shift?" Uhm... well, just about everyone I know drives a manual. I am not allowed to drive a manual for medical reasons, as in I am physically unable to. This means I can never drive the car of my parents, or my siblings or any of my friends. I have a code 10.02 in my license, which is effectively the same as a code 78, except that it's medical in nature. And there's 2 more things you have to keep in mind. 1- rental companies tend to not have cheap rentals with automatics. You're going to pay extra for it and it might make your vacation rental car twice or thrice as expensive, as you'll have to rent a more up-market model. 2- mobility services tend to not have automatics as replacement cars. My mobility service explicitly excludes code 78 licenses from the free rental car, unless you pay the difference between the cheapest manual and automatic car. On a code 10.02 they aren't legally allowed to do so, because that would be discrimination based on disability, which is illegal. Still them finding you a manual car is going to take them a couple minutes at worst. Them finding you an automatic car, may just take several hours. Which is okay, if all you're trying to do is get home and deal with all this crap tomorrow morning. But it's far from great when you are trying to be anywhere on time.

As someone who works in the construction industry, and a fellow math(s) lover, the ground floor (or floor 0) is a much more elegant solution as then the basement floors can go -1, -2, -3 etc and the upper floors can go 1, 2, 3 etc meaning that you're floor number always tells you how far away you are from the ground floor. I just find it much more mathematically consistent.

Knowing how to drive a stick shift car is very convenient when renting a car in Europe.

@@meality I care for them.(Belgium) But I'm not going to listen to them. That I think is the difference. As an adult they don't have a say in who I hang out with, what my job is, who I marry, etc. And if they even thought they had a say in those things I would pick my freedom over them.

Hawaiians and Alaskans also don't have a tristate area. But if you're in Arizona, we called the tristate area Arizona, Nevada, and southern California.

Ribotto Studios I mean Virginia and Maryland have this weird thing where they don’t include a third state, but instead Washington DC. I don’t know if there’s sometimes a third state in there, but I’ve never heard of one.

8:13 like when you said that you had to pay for puplic toilets in Europe, you dont have to pay in every European country.

And it can be different in different cities in one country too. Some toilets are open, some you have to pay for. We have both in the town I live in.

In Spain, in apartment blocks, if there are flats on the ground floor, it is counted as the first floor. If there aren't flats on the ground floor, then it is counted as ground floor. I think it has to do with your home address.

In Germany, there are free toilets and ones that cost a euro. The free ones often have iron toilets, no seat and most likely one layered toilet paper. Sure, both are clean, but I'd rather pay for the convenience.

"pay for the convenience"

Ground floor vs. First floor. It dates back to medieval times where the ground floor of a building would be the actual ground surface of whatever happened to be there when the building was built. The walls would be stone to support the building above and it would be used for storage (like a modern basement or cellar) or to house livestock. You would then go upstairs where the floor would be wooden and have wooden walls. It was the first floor that people actually lived in.

It’s called ground floor because it’s on... ground level? 🤷‍♀️

11:20 Welp the bathrooms for which you have to pay in many EU countries for are almost always state/city/ect. owned, usually businesses like McDonalds, Cinemas or restaurants have toilets which you can use for free.

@@rivenoak Probably a cultural thing tbh. From what i have seen, Americans treat restaurant more like a place to eat and leave while most Europeans use it ONLY to have a nice family dinner or friendly dinner that usually lasts for about 3 hours. Entering a place like this just to visit the bathroom is something I couldn't even do character wise

my favorite spot for free bathrooms is the gas station! It's just so.. personal. Like, you get the key from the stressed out, 19 year old employee with a photo and a charm hanging off of, and you enter the small bathroom in the back where the employees have their own deodorant, their towel from home that their granny knitted... Gas station stops are great.

Just found your channel not too long ago and ive just binged a few videos. Really enjoy your content!!

What I have hear about the bathroom stalls being the way they are in the US is that most companies don't want you in the bathroom so they make it uncomfortable. This can be for employees needing to get back to work or for customers getting out the buy and not use the facilities for long. I have also seen this because it sometimes cuts down on people doing nasty things in them.

This was really nice to watch in between all of the stuff that is going on right now. Just some Evan reacting to comments and making some puns. 🙃 Also the new end card of the videos looks very calm and soothing.

I’ve never been to America so I can’t relate to the toilet cubicles problem but when I was in Italy there were literal windows on the toilet cubicle door in the restaurant... it was awkward being able to see my teacher from the toilet

Thank you Evan for being a consistent source of happiness for me! I'm also from New Jersey and I studied abroad last semester in London! I can't help seeing all of the similarities I have with you..hahah. Things are crazy right now...my entire college is shut down. I hope you're doing well considering everything! :)

Evan, you have the personality of literally every quirky sitcom dad in the history of TV all rolled into one and quite frankly, I'm HERE for it.

Evan, I praise you for addressing both . I've searched for these types of videos so many times and very hardly did I came across something besides "England vs usa". it requires boldness and you got it, even if you made some mistakes (the Schengen was a big ahaha) . Love the content.

You cracking up at your own jokes made my afternoon :P
