'I visited your beautiful country and had a wonderful time,' he began. 'But I didn't know how the f*** to p*ss on this thing.'. The post quickly sparked a flood of responses, with Aussies chiming in to explain the purpose of the mysterious grates - and why they're vital for keeping bathrooms clean.

One fellow tourist admitted to a similar mishap during his trip to Australia. 'I was in Australia last month. I didn't realise you were supposed to stand on the grate and [use the bathroom],' he wrote. 'I stood back on the tile, and another fellow came in and stood on the grate. I said, 'I meant no disrespect, sir. I didn't realise you were supposed to stand on the grate.' He said, 'That's okay, mate, I'm just jealous of the blokes who can stand back there'.'.

The hilarious exchange prompted more Australians to shed light on the mystery of the grates. The visitor shared his awkward encounter with a urine grate on Reddit , a common but puzzling feature of public urinals Down Under. 'The whole point of the grate is so that errant streams and drips don't end up on the floor,' explained one Reddit user.
