Sure, it should be that easy. However, around here (Columbus, OH) every time the electricity goes out people treat stop lights like we're living in Mad Max times.

I have another annoying sink design: sinks with flat basins so the water just sits there instead of, you know, draining away.

It actually works quite well. The real hilarious Paris traffic fuckup is having the central thoroughfare a one way system with the river in the middle

this is because urinals keep things cleaner when given the option

This loving urinal. It's like, hello, maybe try putting it in the actual privacy of a restroom next time. Also good luck with the upward pee arc unless you happen to be 7 feet tall.

I have a really vivid memory of walking into a bathroom when I was a little kid, probably on vacation, and they had a row of toilets in the center of the room with no covering of any kind, then a row of urinals on one wall and sinks on the other. Has anyone seen that before? I'm wondering if my brain invented that memory because it seems kind of crazy, would have been in the US.

Saw that at a fetish bar I went to once, but never in a public place. Where were the toilet paper holders?

Yeah, we had one of those urinals sinks in my public school. Either you get confused and urinate into anything that you can reasonably pee into, the designer figured they could save a couple of bucks by having people pee into the sink, or didn't know what the fixture was.

All the workers at the Elevator used it as a piss hole so that's what we did when I stopped by there. Maybe that wasn't it's original purpose, but that was it's use. It's not much different from a piss trough at a stadium.

In your defense, we had those exact urinals in my elementary school for the 1st through 4th graders, except they were a thick plastic material. Same foot pedal for "flushing"and everything. In 5th and 6th grade there were one-person restrooms in each classroom. A teacher told me as an adult that 5th grade was when boys started to find it funny to poo poo on the floors and seats, which was why they put one in each classroom.

so why are there so many four way stops? Oh wait it's because American "men" can't drive manual transmission so slowing down is too much to handle. Slam on brakes to stop, slam gas pedal to move. Makes sense.

I can kinda get that idea but it seems pretty redundant to me. Do people really have that much trouble not pissing on the seat if they are not being intentionally anti social? And if they are I don't think providing the option will help.

Also it was a massive bathroom. That's just one corner. They could easily have a urinal and separate stall.

there's a lot of high end hotel suites that have open bathrooms or theyll be closed off but the loving walls will be transparent glass i think the idea is so you can look sexy in the jacuzzi but most of the time it just means your husband/wife/whatever is going to get a front row seat to your morning poo poo
