Remember the days when getting air at the gas station for your tires was 2.50! Lol

Air was free in the US for many years. It still is but it's harder to find.

Exactly! The places with free air never seem to have working machines. I'm happy to pay for air on the rare occasions that I need it. That's so much better than driving around, trying to find a gas station with a working air pump.

Interesting, here in Portugal and I think all over Europe, the air at the gas stations is free!

The bathrooms in Porto and Lisbon were not free when I was there. At least the air is.

reply

yes, there are bathrooms in the street that you have to pay for. You could go to a cafe or restaurant and ask to use the toilet. It's free! Ahahah

reply

One place in Lisbon didn't even have toilet seats! They didn't want anyone dropping a deuce.

reply

In Eastern Europe, almost all toilets don't have seats. I've read that it's healthier!

reply

I never sit on a public toilet or even another person's John but it's nice when the seat prevents the splash.

On a side note the toilets that use less water are hilarious. You end up flushing multiple times just to make the matter disappear.

Depends upon where you go in South Asia, there are no seats because you don’t sit to do your business, you squat. This goes for many parts of Southeast and East Asia, too. You might have noticed that people do a lot of “hunkering down” there. Other places don’t have the knees for it, anymore.

In Uzbekistan you can find a hole in the floor or a toilet is a crap shoot.

reply

This example of seatless in Portugal, Lisbon was an anomaly.

reply

Wait, you guys pay for air?

reply

Yeah the air compressor to pump up a tire

reply

Haven’t done that in over 20 years!!! Japan has that feature. This must be at a place that doesn’t have a compressor for air tools.
