The Men's Public Restroom and You: Reflected Penises - General

You so need to write a proper paper on this. Or a book. I can help you.

You're a genius. This is exactly the way I feel. Go into architecture and end the suffering of our kind.

[QUOTE=Enishi;19685231]It could be far worse. We could all just piss in a trough.[/QUOTE] Some places of business actually do that, case in point a strip club in Lubbock Texas known as "The Boom Boom Cabaret". (don't go there unless you're turned on by missing teeth and cellulite)

Stall is an odd word, you should call them cubicles.

[QUOTE=Sh33p;19686132]Stall is an odd word, you should call them cubicles.[/QUOTE] Then it sounds like you are going to take a crap on the desk of an underpaid web developer

The layout isn't quite efficient, they keep the stalls next to each other for a reason. Also, it's not that hard to just find an empty urinal and pee, you just have to stare straight ahead.

Are you homophobic or 12? Big whoop you saw another mans penis deal with it like an adult and get on with your life.

oh dear....i-i need to go into a stall..i might see someones penis!!!!

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;19686233]The layout isn't quite efficient, they keep the stalls next to each other for a reason.[/QUOTE] I know it's not efficient or cost effective. The point I'm trying to make is spending a little more money for a large gain in privacy will make many a man happy.

[QUOTE=StormHammer;19685837]The problem is the plumbing in bathrooms is set up so the urinals all connect and go one direction, and the toilets all connect and go one direction. If you had a stall than a urinal repeating, it would be a clusterfuck trying to set up the plumbing to properly dispose of the waste from the toilets.[/QUOTE] then we put walls between the urinals

You are wasted talent in the restroom archetecture world.

[QUOTE=stupid07er;19686271]I know it's not efficient or cost effective. The point I'm trying to make is spending a little more money for a large gain in privacy will make many a man happy.[/QUOTE] You assume every man honestly cares about [I]maybe[/I] catching a [I]glance[/I] at the [I]reflection[/I] of a man's penis, and that's assuming if it is purely accidental. You are trying to make a mountain out of an anthill, the added "happiness" is infinitely smaller then the cost of something which is very well useless. If you don't want to see a man's dick, don't [I]stare at them while they have their dick out.[/I]

Why you are thinking about this in the first place boggles me. :confused: They aren't going to get better.

The only problem with your plan is that with the urinals in between stalls, when you come rushing into the bathroom desperately needing to piss, you'll think a urinal is empty because the stalls are blocking it from view, thereby causing great frustration as you run around looking for an empty one. It's like thinking you've found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot, only to find a motorcycle parked there.

[QUOTE=demisemiquaver;19686319]then we put walls between the urinals[/QUOTE] That would make the restroom bigger, more expensive, and would make it harder to clean, and for what, something that only a few men openly complain about?

[QUOTE=Ibutsu;19686402]Why you are thinking about this in the first place boggles me. :confused: They aren't going to get better.[/QUOTE] Because people mostly complain about smaller issues that affect themselves.

Thank you, I need to know this for when I construct my future bathrooms. After all, isn't this forum filled with bathroom architects? No? I guess it's just me then.

I would use that restroom.

[QUOTE=stupid07er;19686475]Dang it all... you are right.[/QUOTE] Why not have the western shutters that open out instead of in. This way, when you occupy a urinal, you shut the doors so others can see that it is already in use! :buddy: [b]EDIT:[/b] It would also stop the gaybows from staring at your ass.

You should be thankful that your biggest worry in the whole world right now seems to be this. [editline]07:07PM[/editline] Also, our avatars are similar.

I prefer the little flaps that you see sometimes that divide every urinal to your idea. It seems more efficient and it pretty much gets the same results. [img]http://www.tristatesupplyco.com/images/urinal%20screens.jpg[/img]

Not cool, bro. That's what you say. And he says oh sorry, I was looking at the floor. Something everybody should avoid, man.

Y'know what really fuckin' grinds my gears? The way they make toilet cubicle doors rotate INWARDS. You are forced to squeeze next to some fucking piss covered stinking toilet just to get in.
