If you were really rich, would you have a urinal installed in your home bathroom?

30/60

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:57 (nineteen years ago) link

i guess that is slightly more convenient. esp for those with poor aim. (i slice my pee through with the seat down no problem.. not a drop that doesn't go down the toilet)

toilets with auto-flush exist too.

I disagree with some of their answers. I think (2) is actually trickiest. Standing at 6 is like saying 'ooh - I'm paranoid about being within 15 feet of you in case you think I'm gay'.

Well, you barely passed. Odds are in favour that you are actually a female and have never experienced a male rest facility in all it's glory. That, or you're a guy who doesn't get out much. If we were you, we wouldn't be showin' your score off to any of our friends, since they can probably pee way better than you can.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

for 2, I said stall 'I'm okay with being gay but let's not, ok?' 4.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Ken - I don't believe that. There are micro-droplets. Shine a good light on the seat afterwards and see if you're still such a hotshot.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Alba - I'm with you on the not going to #6. We can form a homo club.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:01 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not a homo club! It's an I'm not a homo but I'm perfectly at ease with my sexuality club.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

homo.

Well done. We can continue to accept you into our society, since at least you have the means to determine where to go to the bathroom. Well, not counting that time in third grade when you got stuck in that locker. Yeah, that's right, we know.

Huh. So if nothing else, for the most part I know what to do in the men's room.

50 out of 60.. for 4) i chose to be part of the pact rather than being paired up with the guy on the left.. but i neglected the standing between two men rule.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I knew what they wanted me to answer each time, but I am my own man.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I have noticed that in Scotland (and Ireland), men are far more likely to go into the stalls to pee, even if there is just one person (or even none - I am at the basins in this scenario, not spying with PPTV) at the urinals. English men are more comfortable with the whole thing.

btw. in this proposed home urinal set up, will there be a whole row of them, enabling one to pee with visitors and thrash out the positioning etiquette?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:11 (nineteen years ago) link

no thrashing.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:12 (nineteen years ago) link

But the drip!

Good lord! You can't possibly be male! We have monkeys that are better trained at peeing than you are. If, on the obscure off-chance that you ARE male, you need some practice going to the bathroom. Sad, really.

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:14 (nineteen years ago) link

wouldn't having a urinal in your bathroom be a bit stinky? or is that only public ones that smell bad?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:14 (nineteen years ago) link

This whole 'not wanting to look gay' thing. Do gay men ever really deliberately go and stand next to people peeing to spy, or as a signal? This was not my idea of how cottaging worked.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:16 (nineteen years ago) link

you'd probably want a "no cigarette butts in urinal" sign in your house too

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think urinals themselves smell bad, but the piss that misses 'em really does. (xpost)

and damned if I know, but I can't imagine watching urine shot from anybody's urethra is actually a turn-on to many people.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

i guess you could have those little deodoriser cake things in there too. isn't that what you boys aim for when you're at the pub?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, often we count them. There were 34 in the pub the other day, I think Ally C said.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Of course, this is in a trough set up. He didn't go around inspecting individual urinals. That would be gay.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I am thinking of all the corrosion and pitted paint I've seen on the partitions dividing urinals everywhere I go. Urinals would take more cleaning than toilets thanks to the spattering.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:21 (nineteen years ago) link

well if you were going to the trouble of getting a urinal at your house surely you'd want a trough? more impressive. and more publike.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Also easier to step in during the midnight pee-fumble.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:22 (nineteen years ago) link

sort of like a water feature when it's flushed too

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyway. I meant to go to bed two hours ago and instead I have stayed up talking about urinals on the internet. Good night.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

stupidest idea i've ever heard. though i do remember reading an article several years ago about barry sonnenfeld (director of 'get shorty', 'men in black', and 'the addams family') where it mentioned he had an urinal installed in his bathroom. i remember thinking, "yeah, that sounds about right".

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Urinals only smell if unflushed or clogged.

There is scientific fact what sez that the urinals at the ends are hygenically superior because fewer menpeople frequent them.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

if the urinal test was to be believed the ones at the end should really be the ones frequented the most.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:34 (nineteen years ago) link

The test's phallacy derives from its benighted assumption that most men aren't gay.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:36 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe it assumes that the men are secure enough about their gayness to be able to pee at the end urinals, becuase they don't have to prove their gayness to anybody.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 23:48 (nineteen years ago) link

i'd just piss wherever i wanted, and have an assistant clean it up.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 2 September 2004 01:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I am going to write an article about this. It is going to be called 'Peeks and troughs'.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:17 (nineteen years ago) link

(first line: "Women go to the loo together, men go apart")

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:17 (nineteen years ago) link

i never go to the loo with other girls. i get performance anxiety and plus i hate it when people want to talk to me by shouting over the cubicle partition mid-wee.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I have gone off the idea of writing this article.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:23 (nineteen years ago) link

sheesh fickle

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:24 (nineteen years ago) link

your article title was tops anyway

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 September 2004 06:24 (nineteen years ago) link

The test's phallacy

Best misspelling ever. Or did he do it on purpose?

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 2 September 2004 08:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I was wondering the same.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 2 September 2004 08:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Hmm.

Is no one concerned by the fact that the baby in that picture has NO GENETALIA????

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 2 September 2004 18:07 (nineteen years ago) link

What would be really tacky would be a mirrored urinal, so you could look at your schlong while urinating. I guess a gold urinal would be pretty reflective.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 September 2004 18:21 (nineteen years ago) link

i was at a wedding reception at maxime's de paris and they had mirrors in back of the urinals so you could clearly see your schlong and the schlongs of those around you WTF

― amateur!!st, Thursday, 2 September 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I would have engineered for me a DIAMOND URINAL inside which were contained the SOULS of the 3000 AFRICAN CHILDREN THAT DIED TO MINE SAID DIAMONDS.

Dude, ams, that's why you keep your eyes leveled on the wall and never under any circumstances drop them anywhere near wang level.

ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR THE FAMILY PEE ROOM? YOU THINK YOU'RE ABOVE YOUR OWN FAMILY'S PEE?

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I may not be rich, but I've got a urinal in my house, in a small bathroom not far removed from the dining room. the oddest thing about it is that the bathroom doesn't have a normal door. instead, it's got one of those swinging western bar-style door that goes from roughly my knee to shoulder. so, while my guests are over for dinner, I can relieve myself without missing leaving the conversation. classy!

― tobo (tobo), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

that is very clever

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Pleasant Plains OTM. Peeing outdoors is so very enjoyable.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

The joy of my childhood in the Sierras was walking onto the front porch to pee on the 'lawn'.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought i was the only one who did that!

We accept you, we accept you, one of us, one of us!

I too used to pee outside my door in high scholl - my bedroom was in a converted garage. But I was out there late one summer during the day and it stank! I learned not to pee there in the summer (no rain for months in So Cal).

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Unnecessary synonym for urinate: micturate, also derived from Latin, and meaning precisely the same thing.

― M. V. (M.V.), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 21:43 (eighteen years ago) link

an ex-plumber from new york married into one of the wealthiest families in michigan. he got into refurbishing houses. he was very proud of putting 12 bathrooms in a ~4000 sq ft house. no urinals, but i'm sure that's only because he didn't think of it. tackiness... didn't seem to bother him. (here's his pool.)
