Why are toilets in cbathrooms ?

maryxyz

Does anyone agree that it is barbaric to have toilets in bathrooms, as is the case with most modern houses ?

Older houses had separate toilets and bathrooms, which was much more practical -family members could use both rooms simultaneously at rush hours - and bathroom users didn't have to suffer the inevitable loo pong while they washed !

I think this bath/toilet combi was dreamt up by builders simply because it is more convenient for them, with no consideration given to preferences of the house-buying public.

Bring back separate bathrooms and toilets ! ! ! !

You don't happen to be the lady who spent two years on one?

I prefer an outhouse.

Barbaric? lol

It is barbaric to have to leave a room (touching a few different door handles etc) to wash your hands.

Kold

I don't think barbarians had indoor plumbing.

Only noticing,

All French houses have seperate sh*tters and showers

i think a great idea would be to have a second larger waste hole in the shower cubicle, so you wouldnt even need to leave the shower to have a number 2! proper order!

Huggies pull-ups ftw.

Everybody should just have wet rooms with extra large plugholes and be done with it.

Empty room with a hole in the ground and water from above.

What you do in there is between you and your god.

Could you class masturbating in a graveyard as indecent exposure?

We've spent the last few weeks looking for a new house, and not one of these house (built in the last 5 years anyway) have only one toilet.
so they have heard your complain.

I wouldn't recommend dumping a load in the shower.

Pipes are not constructed to take that kind of load and even if you get the lot down the plughole it will back up eventually.
if you really must do it , then use a shower cap or a plastic bag and leave the load outside for disposal later.

People can be verrrrry lazy

Well.............? Surely it doesnt take 8 hours to take a few (tastefull:D) pics?:)


Anywhoo, the seperate toilet rooms were always small and cramped, I like a bt of air around me when doing my business. Plus where do you put the paper/magazine your reading if theres no bath?

Well if you were installing a large plughole to fit it down, then obviously you would size the pipes to take it, come on,
who exactly is the lazy one, not arsed with a few extra pipes

Just crap into a blender and pour it down the hole, problem solved. Make sure you put the lid on the blender, though.

I find if you squish it up with your foot it dissolves nicely and goes down no problem, though the plumber did once have to come out after a sweetcorn incident.

Surely if you're combining a shower with a shitter you're going to need one less pipe (two if you include the cistern ) & a high pressure shower to clean away the klingons! :eek:

By all rights you should be able to have a shower whilst taking a sh1t. Would save time TBH

Why have users in the Construction & Planning forum taken an interest in this thread?

nomorebadtown

I dont understand why this thread was moved from the Construction & Planning forum

I agree with the OP, nothing worse of a morning than having your shower in a room that smells like your housemates sh1t.

You know that handle on the toilet? That gets rid of all the poo.

star-pants

We have a bathroom (bath/shower, toilet and wash hand basin) and a separate toilet (with washhand basin) as we needed a second toilet (as there are 6 of us in the house). Best idea.

I say no to pooping in the shower - that's just skanky. However if you really need to go, then the toilet being in the same room helps, hop out of shower, onto loo and back into shower again. Running into another room wouldn't be good.... random streaking.
Plus - (if there's no young children) - a struck match rids smells in the bathroom.

In cambodia - they had an outhouse, with a porcelain hole in the ground for toilet and then a large area with a drain for showering, not seperate rooms. Granted shower was a large barrell of water with pans for throwing water over oneself.

Why go to the bother of using a blender, just get a "garbage" disposal unit
as the Septics call it.

Thats quite amusing but I think you'll find that the Humour forum is here: Link

So the instant you flush, all traces of that sh!te smell disappears? Even after all your housemates have had a feed of guinness and curry the night before?

Like those things the americans have in their sink? You could poo and wash your hands at the same time. Good time saving idea.

Laxatives ftw! No blending/chopping/slicing/dicing needed :rolleyes:

off topic, but was over in Liverpool recently and some girls I was chatting to told me that in some of the clubs now, the cubicles have two toilets, to cut down on the amount of time girls take to pee when they go together. Madness.

Mr NoTV

ash closet in the yard, slats for seats, Victorian values.
God bless maggie thatcher for her inspirational ideas

maryxyz

Just to reassure you, IFight, many separate loos actually had tiny handbasins so you could wash your hands before leaving.

I'm abandoning this thread as most respondents seem too juvenile for this topic which actually merits serious discussion.

It confuses them anyway. I was in a hotel in New York and bursting for a piss, but had no idea where to go. So I find someone and ask someone that works there where the toilet is. She had no idea what the hell I was talking about. Eventually she goes, "ohh.. the Rest Room".

No, it's not an effin rest room. A bathroom makes sense as theres a bath. A toilet makes sense as theres a toilet. But rest room does not. There's no bed!
