Urinals in Homes

[retrorich]

Why don't they have urinals in homes (along with regular toilets, of course)?

Females are always *****ing about males wetting the seat or failing to put the seat back down after urinating. Urinals in the home would help solve that problem. Maybe a tiny separate bathroom for males, with just a urinal and a sink.

Urinals are easier to clean than toilets, and use less water.

Because they aren't aesthically pleasing?

Aren't you the one that posted pictures of flower shaped urinals a while back? Weren't those aesthetcially pleasing enough for you?

My vote for why we don't have them is that your average home bathroom only has room for one piece of "furniture". The urinal is a uni-tasker. The toilet can be used effectively by all.

Because bathrooms have only so much room, and only half of the population can use urinals.

I never ***** about this.

Any man who wets the seat will be cleaning the seat. If you mess it up, you clean it up. If I discover this wet seat at 3am, he will be cleaning it at 3am.

If I get my rear stuck on that cold seat in the dark at 3am, any male keeping the seat up will be invited to join me in my wakefulness.

I woke my husband once in 20+ years. I woke my son once.

I never had to do it again.

And provide a nice place for one of my cats to curl up for a nap.

LADIES TAKE NOTE: Men do not appreciate or repond to *****ing. They do, however, understand actions.

When it comes to toilet manners, they can be trained as easily as Pavlov's legendary dog.

Here endeth the lesson.

Oh yeah.

I think you guys got the main reason.

As for the seat being up or down, the applicable axiom is "Look before you leap." Not checking the seat before you sit down is downright foolish.:run:

On the other hand, toilets provide fresh drinking water when you forget to leave fresh water out -- and sometimes even when you make a point of changing your pets' drinking water every day.

I've been married for 36 years, and "potty-trained" my husband early on. I never, ever have to worry about a wet toilet seat or even about a seat that's left up.

Try that in the dark at 3AM when you're trying to dodge 3 cats intent on tripping...er..."escorting" Mommy to the loo.

Let me know how that works for ya.

Indeed they do! Although my 2 cats who drank out of the toilet gave it up. One because he's gotten too fat and feels unstable. And the other because she now thinks she deserves water from the sink. :kat: Fussy broad!

My dad used to train bird dogs. He always maintained that training men was no more complicated. And when he would say that, Mom would peek out from behind the kitchen cabinet and nod and grin.

We have 3 kitties plus the obstacle course that is our bedroom....been there, done that many times. The rule still applies. Look around before you sit down.

Nope. Just put it down when you're done. You're the one that used it so you put it back when you're done.

How do you "look" in pitch black? I'm not gonna turn the light on, as that would wake the other half.

As for wetting the seat -- seriously, I never had a problem with my son, because we taught him how to clean the toilet at the earliest possible moment (I think he was 5 or 6?). He got the idea that he would be cleaning up his own mess, so he learned to have a good aim.

I really don't understand women who put up with men whose aim is so poor that not only do they wet the seat, but the floor and the wall behind the loo. And then they clean up after these slobs? How stupid of them to enable such behaviour!

My daughter (who had never experienced a wet toilet seat at our house) ran into this problem shortly after she got married. Her husband had left for work when she discovered the mess and since they live in a small condo with just one bathroom, she had no choice but to clean up after him. I've never seen her much madder. She said that when he got home, she was going to tell him that if his mother was willing to put up with that, fine! He could go home to mama, but she was not about to clean up a mess like he left EVER again! (Knowing him, and knowing his mother, I suspect he just figured what he'd done was totally acceptable.)

How funny! My wife & I have the same conversation! :biglaugh: The answer remains the same. I don't care if she turns on a light. If I'm sleepy enough, I will fall back asleep. Looking before you sit down is the only prudent option. Anyway, speaking of sleep....

We've discussed that, and agreed that if we ever build our own house, we'll have a urinal in at least one bathroom. We're more interested in saving water than in segregating the sexes; we keep our toilets clean, and our female visitors know to look before they sit down. (Actually, I prefer to keep the lid down, so women who don't look are likely to be surprised but not to get wet. )

Have you ever lookwd at the floor in a public urinal.
How you can miss at point blank range I have no idea.
I would not want to be around them if they were shooting a gun.

isn't that what the sink is for?

In Europe, most of the nightclubs and cafes - or any place where men will be drinking alcohol - have special urinals with the very life-like image of a fly in the center-bottom of the bowl.

This has proven to dramatically increase the accuracy of drunk men, and led to many 'easily trained' jokes.

Haha. That is awesome! I think I remember hearing that somewhere else.

Let's hope that a frog doesn't make its way to the bowl..

Your wife is a very nice lady. Much nicer than me. I would've considered putting an ice cube down your pjs. :devil:

If we have guests, I always check. But the use the hallway bathroom, not the one off our bedroom that I use at oh-dark-hundred.
