At least the water fountain allows you to turn your head away from the urinals.

[–]lovestory823 47 points48 points ago

Yea but it looks like the water fountain has pipes coming from the urinals

[–]SF4L 22 points23 points ago

I hate when your drinking from a fountain, your hear a toilet flush, and suddenly your drinking water pressure goes down until its done flushing.

[–]pcorlatan 51 points52 points ago

Out of the three times you used "your" in that sentence, only one was the correct usage. Nicely done!

[–]chejrw 15 points16 points ago

Better than it going up

[–]simonatrix 7 points8 points ago

It'd be much worse if the pressure increased.

[–]Shadax 15 points16 points ago

Even worse when urine comes out.

[–]kinss 3 points4 points ago

I hate when you're drinking from a fountain, you hear a toilet flush, and suddenly your drinking water pressure goes up while its flushing.

FTFY

[–]expert02 0 points1 point ago

Looks to me like it's a drainage pipe.

[–]Brettersson 6 points7 points ago

you seriously created a whole new post just to link to it here?

[–]DJ_GoochieSnif 0 points1 point ago

But you need to remove the little green sign of a cup under the water stream. That way people aren't encouraged to stick anything but their heads down there.

[–]Milol -2 points-1 points ago

That's why it's so bad.

[–]CornFedHonky 9 points10 points ago

Dude, I hope you didn't drink out of that. That's a ball washer.

[–]ufamizm 10 points11 points ago

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer 0 points1 point ago

Shit, had to switch between them to see it. And you're making them look at dicks while they drink liquid, not cool.

[–]LAWLstudent_ 1 point2 points ago

What am I missing here?

[–]mardish 2 points3 points ago

The faucet is now on the opposite side of the fountain. lol

[–]LAWLstudent_ -2 points-1 points ago

I see. So what you're suggesting is that a man can now simultaneously pee and drink in a continuous loop ad infinitum?

[–]simonatrix 2 points3 points ago

No, he's suggesting that now you have to stare at cocks when you drink water.

[–]LAWLstudent_ -2 points-1 points ago

Charming guy you are.

[–]simonatrix 0 points1 point ago

We're in a charming place.

[–]Zarron6 9 points10 points ago

The PVC pipe is for drainage, and there is a small metal-looking pipe on the left. Or are we talking about the pee mist from the urinals?

[–]crumb0167 6 points7 points ago

The billions of piss particles that have graced that fountain... Yeeeech!

[–]ratajewie 4 points5 points ago

I think it's the mist part. Peeing normally creates mist. But people in public restrooms? Hell, they probably pee in the water fountain because they can.

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer 1 point2 points ago

Pee mist. Definitely the pee mist.

[–]T0tai 31 points32 points ago

That looks like the favorite drinking spot of bear grylls

[–]LAWLstudent_ 2 points3 points ago

Bear Grylls is either a PR genius or a man deeply burdened by regret.

[–]Cicadra 14 points15 points ago

Pretty sure this is against the IBC (international building code) and is not allowed in the U.S. The owner of this building might get sued if someone reports it.

[–]jacobe7 13 points14 points ago

This is obviously not in the US. The urinals and drinking fountain in this picture have what are know as bottle traps, and they are not approved for use in most of the US. IPC, UPC, and National Plumbing Code all require P-Traps for these type of fixtures.

Edit: Spelling and grammar is hard.

[–]hawkersaurus 7 points8 points ago

"P-traps".

Worst. Pun. Ever.

[–]Cicadra 1 point2 points ago

I hate puns about toilets. Especially toilet paper. They are tearable.

[–]odsquad64 0 points1 point ago

They have them on sinks too. I always like to think of it as Pea-Traps since if you wash a pea down the drain it could get stuck in it.

[–]Mujutsu 3 points4 points ago

May I ask why exactly bottle traps are banned in the US? Just curious.

[–]HonziPonzi 3 points4 points ago

if I'm correct, bottle traps remove a lower percentage of waste per flush, they're still effective, just not highly enough for US code

[–]plmbob 1 point2 points ago

the technical reason is that they are not "self cleaning" meaning they don't fully exchange fluids when used. this allows for stagnation and fouling. The curve of a P-trap

[–]jacobe7 0 points1 point ago

Here is the code section from the UPC: "1004.0 Traps - Prohibited. No form of trap that depends for its seal upon the action of movable parts shall be used. No trap that has concealed interior partitions, except those of plastic, glass, or similar corrosion-resisting material, shall be used."

I believe the reason is that if the internal partition were damaged or removed, it is not readily visible. Without actually taking the bottle trap apart, you would never know you have a trap seal failure (other than the sewer gas odors.)

[–]Cicadra 0 points1 point ago

This might be a question not related... but you seem like an expert...could you please explain to me why all public restroom water closet have that opening at the front on toilet seats? this confused me for a long time O_o

[–]odsquad64 0 points1 point ago

Not an expert here, but... it's so you don't piss on the toilet seat.

[–]HummingRefridgerator 3 points4 points ago

Relevant: http://xkcd.com/986/

Only more so.

[–]Graptoi 6 points7 points ago

Probably dispenses liquid LSD or some other magical thing, but noone knows because everyone is too skeeved out to use it.

[–]ride4daze 8 points9 points ago

That awkward moment when you are drinking water and glance over and see a penis

[–]kevmo 11 points12 points ago

That titillating moment when you are drinking water and glance over and see a penis

FTFY

[–]ultrastoat -3 points-2 points ago

I love the word "titillate"

[–]Kebble 2 points3 points ago

and get water all over the back of your head?

[–]saaaike 3 points4 points ago

finally a restroom for those with bladder problems.

[–]MFJake 2 points3 points ago

That's a ball washing station not a fountain

[–]thou_liest 0 points1 point ago

No that is awesome! I get so thirsty after peeing! Like, immediately after!

[–]CynicalSoldier 1 point2 points ago

A drunk guy has most likely peed in that drinking fountain already.

[–]chronic_hatred 0 points1 point ago

Bunch of piss filled water. Fuck that.

[–]MarquisDiLorenzo 0 points1 point ago

This is a double splash-zone violation!

[–]beaverslayer 1 point2 points ago

you mean bubbler, right?

[–]DingoScallion 0 points1 point ago

Yes because when I'm at a urinal my mouth just gets so dry.

[–]Underberg 1 point2 points ago

Looks like the urinals' plumbing is vented using the fountain. If you use the fountain and flush the urinals at the same time there is a pretty good chance you will get urine flooding the fountain's sink. I'd say it's worth a try.

[–]NotTheDude 0 points1 point ago

4th Urinal

[–]solidfox535 0 points1 point ago

Awkward eye contact inc

[–]FeatherGrey 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of a hotel I stayed at in Italy. the toilet was directly across from the shower head, and both were behind the shower curtain. Why not put the bide across from the shower? It was strange.

[–]letsgocanada 1 point2 points ago

or is it the best placed drinking fountain?

[–]Allthatisjay 0 points1 point ago

Sir could you get your balls off my face? Im trying to drink here.

[–]b4rc0d3 1 point2 points ago

Its to wash your mushroom tip when youre done.

[–]DHarry 0 points1 point ago

All logic goes out the window when some one is designing a restroom.

[–]Victorsan300 0 points1 point ago

Right in the splash zone.

[–]Last_Gigolo 0 points1 point ago

in jail in Texas, it's on the back of the toilet.

[–]grape_nuts 1 point2 points ago

"aww no shit man this fountain puts out gatorade!"

[–]dmuns 0 points1 point ago

For a second after looking at the photo, I was scared this was /r/WTF and that some non-wtf worthy post was being upvoted. Needless to say, I'm glad this is /r/funny.

[–]stanek 0 points1 point ago

it is a bidet

[–]Battlingdragon 1 point2 points ago

This might be a design to reduce water usage. The urinals look like they could be a water-less style, with the gray water from the fountain flushing the drain pipe. Still a very awkward placement.

[–]10thplanetwestLA 0 points1 point ago

You obviously haven't been to jail/prison. There are definitely worse ones than that.

[–]Irishguy317 0 points1 point ago

I hate open urinals like that.

[–]noddegamra 0 points1 point ago

The bottoms of the urinals look like water filters.

[–]cpnHindsight 0 points1 point ago

It's a vicious cycle.

[–]Obnoxious_bellend 0 points1 point ago

I think you spelled best wrong

[–]Majil229 0 points1 point ago

Depends on your perspective ;)

[–]tomansari 0 points1 point ago

It would be worse if you were looking down the line of urinals just staring at em.

[–]bosox34 0 points1 point ago

This would be the second worst place. In jail its above your toilet.

[–]Fullyscared 0 points1 point ago

Best placed ;)

[–]Titsmagee27 0 points1 point ago

Nasty

[–]pwnicorn123 0 points1 point ago

Good thing is, it's not a unisex bathroom

[–]FomorianKing 0 points1 point ago

Nah, it adds another urinal when in use.

[–]gregny2002 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the gentleman from this story decided to open his own pub.

[–]epoxy_proxy 0 points1 point ago

This is actually in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. In the gift shops you can buy the freeze dried food the astronauts eat, and this is how you get to drink like the astronauts too!

[–]Rad_Rad_Robot 0 points1 point ago

This is remarkably similar to a Dada piece by Duchamp from 1917 called "Fountain". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_%28Duchamp%29 Some culture learnin's for today.

[–]Emrikkaljo 0 points1 point ago

[–]lobanza 0 points1 point ago

Oh, man, if I could control the water pressure of this water fountain I would increase it such that it had a perfect arc onto the junk of the guy that would stand at the closest urinal. I would then make it cold as fuck. That way, you could just blast somebody's dick with cold ass water and he'd be none the wiser.

[–]echidnaenema 0 points1 point ago

Common mistake... It's not a drinking fountain: it's a cock bidet!

[–]BonefishBret 0 points1 point ago

yup. I would pee in that.

[–]Sugarman123 0 points1 point ago

its connected in to the urinal :|

[–]Twagstir 0 points1 point ago

It's like trying to wash your hands in a public bathroom, when the urinals are directly next to your right hand... one miss-slip and.... well

[–]RichardZZX 0 points1 point ago

I like drinking from them when they're filled with little ice cubes.

[–]19115162093 0 points1 point ago

Are the pipes connected?

[–]javier682 0 points1 point ago

When the water fountain is right outside the bathroom door, and you are in mid gulp. Someone flushes and your water pressure drops. You don't want to be reminded that they are connected but it is better than getting a rush of pressure , huh?

[–]Cicadra 0 points1 point ago

If I were gay I would just stand there and drink for a whole day.

[–]Stockmy00 0 points1 point ago

OR BEST PLACED DRINKING FOUNTAIN..

you could quench your thirst whilst relieving your bladder, you could also just keep drinking and peeing all day.

[–]klemon 0 points1 point ago

They should put a poster above the drinking fountain with

'Save our future'
'Recycle water'

[–]bwjasperson 1 point2 points ago

All it needs now is a sign that says "drunk people piss here"

[–]blacklotus21 -1 points0 points ago

For those with drinking pee fetish. Bear Grylls has no problem with it lol.

[–]sloppybeej 0 points1 point ago

best placed drinking fountain

[–]GrimQuim 0 points1 point ago

Given a non-toilet alternative, I always choose the non-toilet alternative.

[–]Mjolnirium 2 points3 points ago

Good sir that phrase has left a wrinkle on my brow and a bad taste in my mouth.

[–]Seligas 2 points3 points ago

You drank from the fountain, didn't you?

[–]Mjolnirium 1 point2 points ago

Twas a mistake I do not intend to repeat

[–]GrimQuim 0 points1 point ago

I fire safety officer once told me; "leave combustibles unattended and an arsonist will find them and will set fire to them"

I guess I'm kind of like that arsonist, but just a guy who'll piss in things he's not supposed to.

FYI my girlfriend hates me.

[–]Mjolnirium 1 point2 points ago

Your words have a strange poetry to them that I find both alluring and terrifying

[–]matts41 -3 points-2 points ago

Poll time: How many people here call it a drinking fountain and how many call it a water fountain?

[–]jacobe7 0 points1 point ago

Some would call it a bubbler as well (Wisconsinites)

[–]hockeyfan69 -4 points-3 points ago

Definitely placed as test to see if you are homosexual or not.

[–]TheAethereal 2 points3 points ago

My bigger concern is direction the plumbing runs.

[–]EducatdInsolince 1 point2 points ago

The pipe at the bottom is the drain. No reason it can't go to the same place as the urinals, however unsavory that positioning may be.
