Urinals in the home?

My name is URL

I'm in the process of doing up my bathroom (only one in the house) and am considering having a urinal installed. I've never seen one in a home before and don't really understand why.

Would people be offended by the sight of one or wha'? I live on my own atm and don't really see the point in flushing the toilet every time I have a piss.. it's a bit wasteful don't ya know.. and with the water charges coming in and all.

Would ladies be put off by this, or see it as a sweet environmentalist endeavour to save the planet? Imagine the domestic spats that could be avoided by using these things!

one of my friends has one in the house, why not, other than the extra plumbing involved and the increased water use

Every house has one, under the synonym of a "sink."

Saila

because we dont want the house smelling of piss

vicecreamsundae

you're going to need a ****ter anyway, so why bother with a urinal too?! you don't have to flush if you're only peeing in the poopthrone, and especially if you're living alone you can just let it mellow if it's yellow.

getting a urinal as well as a toilet is just a waste of money and bathroom space.

PseudoFamous

I'd get one, but only one, so the fear that someone is going to sidle up beside me doesn't kick in.

ewwwwwwwww......

Just use a slop bucket for your yellows and empty it out once a day.

Hawt.

Why not just install a raised bidet. That way the ladies can use it as a urinal as well. But a sign No No2s please may help any misunderstanding from the latter.

Two or more if you count the kitchen.

Sure while you're at it, install a bidet as well. Gonna cost you a bomb when the water charges come in though.

pee out in the lawn, nature will do the flushing for you.

If you do install one, someone will take a crap in it.

Why would you take a ****e in your friends urinal? Imagine the ****storm you'd cause if they found out.

What happens if someone tries to make a shít in the urinal?

If you want to have a sheebeen, go for it.
Otherwise who wants the smell of urine in their house.

You my friend, are a visionary! People will laugh but let them laugh I say, for a world without home urinals is theirs to wallow in. People laughed when Christopher Columbus said the world was round, and where are they now? That's right, in Spain and dead. 'Embrace domestic urinals or live in Spain!' That will be our battle cry.

Abrazar urinarios internos o que viven en España!!

Shiroki

I'd love one

Wolfe Tone

I wouldnt get one, the smell! Having to replace the piss soaked thing they put in them

I hate Urinals anyway and only use em if all the cubicles are full.

I think I remember reading something before about how they need some sort of unusual plumbing system so they're prohibitively expensive to install in your house.

If my friend put in a urinal i would consider it my duty as a complete prick to shit in it.

I'm sure they would find out when they see **** in their urinal. That might give the game away.

Elmidena

Is it solely so you can blast it with p!ss?

I am putting another bath room in the house at present .I will be putting in a urinal .Its one of those ones that flush automatically .Putting in a normal toilet was not possible because of the position of the room ,as its far from sewerage pipes

They would only find out if they were given the turd degree.

I know not everyone's knowledge on such matters is up to the level of a qualified plumber or hamster (same level of intelligence) but seriously, all plumbing is the same, water in, waste out. Same basic theory applies to sink, toilet, dishwasher, urinal....

Urinals in the home... A filthy dirty concept. I have worked in bathrooms years and seen this done once. It was beside a games room in a house.

However if your going to do it - 2 things.

Watch when the neices/Nephews come over to your house. As parents will tell you kids have a terriable habbit of trying to put there hands in them. Some might try to eat the freshners.

Buy an expensive one like a stark urinal. The last thing you want your toilet looking like is a toilet at the back of a petrol station.

Sky King

OP - You want to install a urinal to save water? But a urinal will use more water if it's on automatic, and prolly the same amount if it's on manual flush - unless you dont fluch it in which case your house will smell like it's been blasted with piss.

If you want to save water buy a jacks with one of those 'half flush' buttons which only use the amount of water required to dispatch a bowl full of piss, otherwise drink less and piss less often, else hold your piss and only release it any time you crimp off a brownie so you're getting 2 in 1 action with the flusharoo..

FlutterinBantam

Excellent debate here on a very important subject.

Now a few little pointers of the OP:

If you want your gaff smelling like the pissers in a football stadium ,go ahead.

When the water charges come in you will be sorry.

Some gimp,and they are out there, will feel it his duty to sludge out a 'loosie' into her, cover with a sheet of bum wadd and exit the premises.

Some female, and they are out there too, will try to take a piss in it,and will either

a: pull the thing off the wall if she's weighty

b: spray piss all over the floor and walls as it hops off the sides and then leave half a kilo of paper in it after cleaning the 'muzzle'.

c: leave an item of feminine sanitation crooked in the bottom of it.


So, unless you want your cludgie smelling like a badly run pub jacks, or you plan on living as a recluse, I would advise against.

Good luck with that:cool:

First of all, for God's sake, flush your toilet!!!

When we built our house, we had a urinal installed in our downstairs toilet, to this day I'm so glad we did we tend to have quite a few parties/visitors and from experience, when fellas together and have a few beers, they tend to pee all over the toilet seat and floor (God know what they're like when sober, but in a drunken state it can be disgusting) Since we have the urinal, the toilet seat is always clean.

Oh, and no one has ever "taken a crap in it" nor does "gaff smell like the pissers in a football stadium"

Oh, and if you're getting one, get one with a lid.

pickarooney

Just install a dry toilet if you want to save water. You can then power your house on smugness.

Irish Slaves for Europe

I'd love a urinal in my house, the amount of toilet paper I need to use cleaning up spilt piss is unreal.

jester77

Feck the urinal, squat toilet ftw. That way you can still piss standing up and it also allows the women to as well.

Urinals have lids....

You can get urinals now that don't flush. Have only seem them in Mcdonalds in Roscrea though

Only those with minute todgers use the cubicles, so an ashamed cubicle-user once told me.

they'll be all the rage when the water charges come in

I hate urinals. They're badly designed from a splashback perspective.

RichieC

yea the things reek and splashback can be an issue.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Go one better again, have a drain dug in the bathroom along one wall and tile it. Knock through the outside wall and simply let it drain out the side of your house. You wont need to plumb in any flush system, simply wash it out every few weeks with a bucket of water. It'd work out much cheaper and take up less room.

Quite right.


Wear a light coloured trousers, and on the way back form the pisser, check out the crop of 'forget-me-nots'' dotted around the crotch.

Like being shot with a small-bore shotgun:mad:

Toilets today have two flushing options, one for when ya have a piss and it only flushes a little. I dont really see the point in having a specialised place to piss into when you already have a toilet.
