When I was 5, my family moved to Paris, France for a year. In Paris, there are these coin-operated porto-potties on the sidewalk (I don't remember the specifics of where or how many). My mom told me something about having to be finished in under a few minutes, but I interpreted it as that if we didn't use them in under a minute, the toilet would self-clean (hot water and soap would spray out of the walls) and we'd be killed. But that doesn't really make sense now...
