Attention passengers — Bulgarian train engineers have been given rotating chairs so they can urinate out of the locomotive's window without having to stop.

The engineers' union had complained that, on some older trains, there were no toilets and they were forced to pee out of the windows, the Ananova Web portal reported.

In response, the railroad agreed to fit the special chairs so the driver can turn and relieve himself out the window without having to get up from the controls.

This innovation must also have added benefit of encouraging train riders to step away from the edge of the station platform.


No comment. Do with it what you will.

How many words rhyme with pee?
