A guy came up to my son (where he works) complaining that the faucets in the men's room don't work, and he needed some hand sanitizer, because he had to rinse the soap off his hands in a toilet (the bowl, not the tank).The faucets are motion-activated. He's had to have seen something like that before in his life, or he could have asked.
Oh that's definitely typical European arrogance. We'd rather make a fool out of ourselves than admit we don't know something, and simply ask for some piece of knowledge - this is especially true for asking for directions. GPS and map data has been an incomparable blessing for Europeans.
