    I think I read that bathrooms where the whole thing is a shower stall are common in parts of Asia. I wonder how you're supposed to keep the toilet paper dry when you shower.

    Maybe it’s one of situations where folks don’t use toilet paper? 😣

    This begs the real question: would you rather hole-in-the-floor/shower combo in a closed private bathroom or a porcelain toilet in American-style godawful stalls where privacy is cursory at best?

  • Havelock2.0Havelock2.0 What are you? Some kind of half-assed astronaut?Registered User regular
    The latter.

    Although I think the worst toilet I’ve been to stateside was as a kid at a ballpark. It was a trough in the floor with ice in it. I was terrified of falling in. I still get nightmares

    Those are super common in stadiums here in the US

    As are the “piss wall” style troughs

    Stadium troughs are great, though

    They're an abomination of rich shitheads being too cheap to provide proper bathrooms to save some cash. I have less than zero interest in standing shoulder to shoulder with total strangers with any amount of anybody's genitalia hanging out, nevermind trying to not think about how much human waste is being flung about the room in aerosol form.

    A night club i used to go to 20 years ago had one of those thorougs but it was filled with dry ice that smoked up the air and would go into overdrive when hot pee hit it.

    My wife, who used to go to that club too told me the ladies room stalls had one way mirrors on the doors, so if you were there taking a pee or whatever you'd see people checking themselves out "looking at you", putting on makeup, or whatever.

    Don't ever install one of these in a communal bathroom where you can't see the urinals/stalls from it or somebody will just walk up and pee in it.

    40C isn’t hot enough. 37C is definitely not hot enough.

    I did a whole project to raise the water temp, because hot water was coming out of the faucet in some of the areas at 37C. At the end I got it to 46C and that was the lower end of acceptable.

    I've only ever seen these when I was in elementary school, presumably because everyone was too short and/or sober to use them as a urinal then.

  • zagdrobzagdrob Registered User regular
    I always thought trough urinals were fine at places like ballparks or stadiums where a bunch of dudes were all going to have to piss at once.

    As long as they also have stalls for people who need to dump / aren't comfortable at a trough.

    Like it's no more weird or uncomfortable than a wall of urinals without dividers in between them which is pretty common as well, just with more throughput and less water wasted with each flush.

  • AtomikaAtomika Live fast and get fucked or whatever Registered User regular
    Gotta say

    I’m happy the women’s urinal idea never took off

    Troughs are fine for events. But usually it’s just urinals without dividers. I think last trough I used was at Ren Faire, and that fit with theme.

    How is that different from just removing the stall doors? That is before we get into the problems caused by people like my friends where the code for the front door will also open the back. I have never seen a better example of men refusing to even talk to a woman before making decisions that they think effects only women.

    Well I assume you can’t drop a deuce into them

    Otherwise I don’t understand it at all

    You get these in liveaboard boats as well, they kind of live in their own little shell/box (or have a hat) a bit like you'd find in a work or public toilet. Works like 70% well...enough.
    Though there often it's a regular sit down toilet that has a shower more or less over it.

    They can plan for whatever they want I suppose. I know more than a few people that only realize they are about to poop while already on the toilet. You are going to need to spend a lot of time cleaning random shits out of those urinals.

    That and like... how do you even use this unless you're wearing a skirt and no underwear? The entire thing that makes urinals feasible for men people with dongs is that they don't have to pull their pants down.

    A little, also just unsanitary especially in a public bathroom. I try not to touch anything but the seat and not even that if I can help it.

    As a man in the street, I can attest that men not understanding how women's clothing works and/or assuming women don't wear underwear sounds totally on brand.

    A friend of mine came home drunk one night and decided to take a nice hot shower and fell asleep, sitting on the drain. He only woke up when the neighbours from below broke down his door to stop the water running down their bedroom walls.

    One thing to be aware of when using European toilets is the differences in etiquette compared to what you might be used to on the other side of the pond. This instructional video should be helpful (relevant bit at the beginning):

    As opposed to what? If they’re not past my knees I can’t see how I can sit properly and once there gravity is going to carry them the rest of the way.

    Yeah same here but my SO was giving me mad shit about it. I do try to keep any article of clothing from dropping low enough to contact the floor at least, because ew gross.

    Just take them off completely and hang them on the door.
