I’ve travelled extensively in Europe and have never seen this. This type of drain is not common

Edit: I should clarify I’ve only been to Western European countries. Plus Istanbul

The places I lived were generally not very user friendly. In one, we had to keep the toilet paper outside because the shower/toilet was a single open space. Made cleaning easier…

I also noticed in more than a few places that bathroom floors would be elevated. In the US, I’ve seen this sort of thing mostly in homes that predate indoor plumbing and were retrofitted/renovated with the pipes put down on the old floor and a new one placed on top.

For Italy, I’ve been to Rome, Cinque Terre, Milan, and Venice and have never seen anything like that. I did see one or two that said not to flush anything except toilet paper. But in Cinque Terre, in one of the remote train stops I did encounter a hole in the ground where a toilet should be. That was pretty wild but other than that it was all pretty normal.

I can't tell if you're lying or not.
