Would you want to pee between two people taking dumps?

[–]bird-man6 5 points6 points ago

Or stalls with feces left in them to stew.

If this is happening a lot, how to arrange the urinals may be the least of your problems.

Would I?!

[–]Reddalot 60 points61 points ago*

Because it requires more materials.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points ago

And because I pee on people's feet while they can't get away.

It's really about more complicated plumbing.

yeah because it cost more

[–]stoopidquestions 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why don't more people like you think about what's behind the wall? Each toilet/urinal is held in place by a hanger within the wall. In most places, the men's room is opposite the women's room, and they make back-to-back hangers for the toilets (this is why sometimes while you're sitting there shitting, you'll feel the whole toilet move oddly; someone has just sat on the toilet behind you). Since women's rooms don't have urinals they can't use the back-to-back hanger, and they can't fit 2 hangers in one wall space.

On top of that, all the plumbing for the toilets is low, while the plumbing for the urinals is higher, and alternating toilets and urinals requires more pipe.

[–]Mechakoopa 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's what causes that? That happens in my apartment, but mine tilts back so much the toilet starts to flush itself. I can tell when my neighbour has used the can because my toilet will be empty.

[–]stoopidquestions 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sometimes? In apartments generally toilets aren't wall-hung, but the pipe under the floor connecting your toilet to the main line probably connects in a Y to the toilet behind you in the other apartment connects into that Y on the other side, and it acts like a sea-saw.

[–]lucygucy 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hmm, this probably explains why the women's never has: * enough toilets * space for the tampon box things.

[–]anexanhume 2 points3 points ago

More minerals!

[–]epheterson 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Def you share a wall by putting them side-by-side. It'd even be more efficient to just put those half-as-tall dividers between urinals beside a row of toilets. Also wasteful in terms of length of room required, urinals may be packed more tightly than this setup if not next to stalls.

[–]kaidance 0 points1 point ago

Inefficient use of space and materials for insecure people.

[–]orbit101 22 points23 points ago

I simply will not poo in a public bathroom unless I am alone. I'm embarrassed by the noises. I don't understand why all washrooms don't just have music playing at a decent "poo-noise-canceling" volume all the time.

This is such fact that I would blow you if I weren't so manly.

[–]xyroclast 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In fairness, it's often more than preference. There's a reflex that actually makes it impossible to pee from the anxiety. I've discovered that it can be overcome psychologically, though.

I wonder if it dates back to instincts regarding peeing to mark territory? (you'd be in danger trying to pee next to someone already marking the territory and would probably have to fight)

[–]TheCannon 2 points3 points ago

That is an awesome idea, but it probably wouldn't work too well in bathrooms with limited space.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

There are better ways. A simple divider between each urinal is sufficient in my opinion!

[–]emceelokey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you were going to use up that real estate then you might as well put another stall there. This is actually a bad idea and it's not very efficient. You're better off with another bowl here because you can still piss in a bowl but you cant shit in a urinal. You already have two walls there as well so all you need is another door. That's probably why that's not in every bathroom.

[–]MoocowR 1 point2 points ago

Why are urinals such a big deal ?

[–]theresaviking 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't understand what the original or solved problem was. Do people not like stalls to be close together?

[–]MoocowR 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Its because the stalls are in between the urinals so 2 guys aren't pissing beside each other.

[–]theresaviking 0 points1 point ago

...

why is that a problem?

[–]lordeddardstark 1 point2 points ago

If you think you just came across a brilliant idea but you wonder why it's not being adapted everywhere, it's probably not that brilliant.

Is your pee pee that teeny?

[–]SquareNinja 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What is the most disgusting is those guys who go right up to the urinals, forming an opaque seal between their clothing and the urinal, just so that people can't see their peckers. GROSS. I'll just not touch the urinal at all, thank-you.

[–]garbagefaced 1 point2 points ago

you can't have proper battle shits this way. i need to be close to my opponents, it's not all sounds you know..

Because thats exactly the same as this.

[–]Yoshistrider 1 point2 points ago

What the fuck?

Is it that hard to piss beside someone? You have nothing to be scared of. I really don't think any company is willing to pay the extra money for more materials when you can just man the fuck up.

[–]kpeters920 1 point2 points ago

every bar should have this... it would save me from the unwanted "piss conversations" that i unwillingly get sucked into every. fucking. time.

[–]exitbag 1 point2 points ago

i'm an architect, it would be wasteful (from a building performance and cost standpoint) to configure male restrooms like this. personally, i think they should do away with gender segregated restrooms

[–]JennyCide 1 point2 points ago

"Why is this not in every bathroom"

Because it would be fucking stupid to have urinals in the Ladies.

Because bathroom designers are trolls that like to create awkward situations.

[–]chason_htx 1 point2 points ago

Because then you can't cross streams. Crossing streams is a highly effective form of male bonding. I do this with all my bros. Hell, the last time I crossed streams with my boss I got a raise the same week!

Actually, the bathrooms in the language sector of my college have this exact arrangement. It actually get's annoying to see which urinals are open cause I have to walk through the area instead of surveying one area where the urinals should be. Instead I have to walk past several stalls to find an open urinal

haha I was just pointing out a flaw in the system, I don't really mind the extra second it takes me to walk to see if there are empty urinals.

Why, when you can make it a toilet, and you can shit in it too.

[–]dude_Im_hilarious 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fun Story - today at work I decided to take my daily shit - I pull out my phone to go on reddit/other random stuff...maybe play a game...who knows I'm not in any real rush, ya know?

So I hear the toilet flush next to me, common practice being an office toilet and all so I ignore it. About 30 seconds later I hear a voice say, "Sorry about that!" and I then look down and see a river of water coming towards my pants (that are currently at my ankles) so I wipe like there's no tomorrow and I'm able to pull up right as the water fills the bottom of my stall.

And what about good tradition to give toiletpaper to your neighbour if his ended? Hey, you! Peeing guy, would you be so pleased to hand over this to next buddy!?

Something about being in a confined space accessible by anyone at any time with my dick out makes me feel less than comfortable.

[–]Rorkimaru 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a question of space usage. Urinals are more efficient in terms of space so the bathroom can process more people but only when they are lined up together.

If you're going to design your bathroom like this you may as well do all stalls since a stall can be used for both purposes.

Because people don't care that much about urinals being next to each other. Who cares if you're peeing next to someone else, man up.

Most building designers don't care that you're an insecure homophobe.

[–]Casemods 0 points1 point ago

I never use a urinal.

I want pryvasee

There is really no reason to have urinals

If I do use a urinal, I make sure to use twice as much water and twice as much paper towels to counter-act the establishments attempts at Savin money

[–]antonbe 0 points1 point ago

[–]Arxl -1 points0 points ago

I make it a point to stand next to other gentlemen at the urinals. It is hilarious how insecure men are, especially when they turn away at the urinals.
