    Eye-watering.

    I'm sure it's not very common these days since there are faster and easier ways to do it, but apparently it was normal for the Romans and other ancient cultures. Of course, they had slaves do it rather than having to bend double to see what they were doing.

        It's a matter of some debate (therefore my use of 'apparently'), but here's a credible source:

        I read about this. I think it's true. Can't be bothered to find a source though
