We all have small rituals and some may be related to the bathroom. I have a thing about getting downstairs before the toilet stops flushing. This came of an incident in which my father failed to do this and lo! 38 years, 4 months and 5 days to the day, he died.
However, when I came across this, I was amazed. OK, God tells you what to do with the unwanted stuff if you’re out camping, because he doesn’t want it on His Shoes
De:23:13: And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
De:23:14: For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
but this from the moonworshippers, including a dedicated prayer is simply weird!

Islamic toilet etiquette
From Wikipedia,
The Islamic faith has particular rules regarding personal hygiene when going to the toilet. This code is known as Qadaa al-Haajah.
Issues of chirality, such as whether one uses the left or right hand and the foot used to step into or out of toilet areas, are derived from hadith sources. The only issue which the Qur'an mentions is the one of washing one's hands especially following going to the toilet which is mentioned in verse 5:6.
Rules
A Muslim must first find an acceptable place away from standing water, or people's pathways or shade. They must then enter the area with the left foot, facing neither towards nor away from the Al-Qiblah.
While on the toilet, one must remain silent. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is forbidden. When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each others private parts. A man should not touch his private parts with the right hand, instead using the left hand for touching private parts.
The Islamic prophet Muhammad specified that one should use an odd number of stones to clean the anal orifice after defecation and then proceed to a different location to wash it with water. Use of toilet paper in place of stones is now thought acceptable, but washing with water is still needed for purity. When leaving the toilet, one must leave with the right foot and also say a prayer - "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."
