A closer look
Swiss apartment buildings frequently enforce draconian residential codes that explicitly make it illegal to flush a toilet after ten in the evening, classifying the watery noise as an unacceptable form of sound pollution. This means that if you happen to consume a spicy street taco right before bedtime in Geneva, you are forced to either hold it until sunrise or marinate in your own terrible decisions until the morning alarm rings. It is completely on brand for a notoriously neutral country to maintain their pristine societal peace by heavily policing the bowel movements of their citizenry. The Swiss are so incredibly dedicated to ensuring a quiet night of sleep for the working class that they are perfectly willing to let their bathrooms smell like a neglected public rest stop, proving that extreme politeness inevitably loops right back around to gross insanity
