Maybe they're urinals and you get one to yourself.


Do you normally share a urinal with strangers?

How many people work at your place Craster? Are they imagining all those sinks will be in use at one time?

That is something that bugs me so much about our toilets here at work.

There are 5 urinals and three cubicles in the men's, allowing 8 people to use them at the same time.

But then there are only four sinks, so we have to assume that people are twice as quick at washing their hands.

But then there is only one hand dryer, so there's always a queue for the dryer. Just... annoying.

With hindsight, scribbling 'http://www.beex.co.uk/' on a blackboard above a trough in a particular Oxford pub was not one of my better ideas. Late one night a few weeks later, after I'd completely forgotten about it, a friend sent me a photo of it with the note 'was that you, Kern?'.

Still, if you joined because of it, hello there

Superb viral marketing effort there Kern! We need more like this...

Which reminds me of a story. While I was at College I had a part time job in a retail store. We had a sticker printer but I was the only one who knew how to work it so I printed off a shit load of "Ross Rules" and "Ross 3:16" stickers and stuck them everywhere. All my friends had a pile each and was doing the same. I later found out that each roll of stickers cost the company around £65 at the time.

Anyway.. One day, while I was at college, one of the lecturers approached me and asked if I knew anything about these stickers. I denied all knowledge even though I was sitting there in an Austin 3:16 T shirt. He believed me and carried on his investigation.

That's the sort of shameless blatent self promotion I would be proud of. I only ever got as far as filling in a customer comments card saying how great I was and posted it. The next week, regional manager gave me £15 smiths vouchers for being great.

About six thousand. Also many sinks are important in a multicultural work environment when certain religious observances require washing before prayer.

This is how a lot of the young men used to wear their jeans in my part of London. Low waist. Very low. I always wondered what was keeping them up as it must have been something over than gravity.

But you also need to take into account that urinals 4 and 5 overflow if you aren't careful, so they are best ruled out. Your calculations also assume that it takes the same amount of time to wash your hands as it does to complete each type of bodily function, and that's definitely not the case for some people.

The one dryer is a bit poor though.

Also if there are five urinals, then you're only permitted to use 1, 3, and 5.

If they smell, they aren't sanitary. They are also fake flowers, so no. And the toilets usually smell of oranges due to the automatic timed spraying things.

The best thing in the toilets there are the automatic sink sensors. I have a top with a reflective edging to the zip, which when I walked into the bathrooms used to make all of the taps spring into action at once.

Wait, you guys are assuming that all 5 urinals can be in use at once... as we all know, this is impossible. A maximum of three can be in use at any one time.

Thinking about it, my work has 2 urinals, 2 cubicles and a shower which means that 4 people can go at the same time.

We also have two sinks and no hand dryer.

My work has three cubicles and two urinals which are just too close to each other for comfort. Again, three sinks and one hand drier. Used to be an airblade now it's a normal one.

My work has 5 cubicles, 4 urinals and 2 sinks with cold water only, and no separate ladies toilet.

The contractor thinks that's fine because the cubicle door closes and so screens me from the urinals. Which is just great. As soon as you walk out of the cubicle the urinals are right in front of you.

How do communal bathrooms work in places? Do they have urinals? Are they behind doors?

I don't like it when there's two segregated toilets, but behind each door is just one throne. Far more efficient to make them both unisex, although from experience the ladies' does smell nicer.

I particularly enjoyed this men's toilet in Brno in the Czech Republic. This was the gents, it wasn't one cubicle for a gent, there was no lock. Got to know eachother very well that evening.

There are switches and wires in this house that do nothing. Or perhaps, worryingly, do something I'm unaware of.

I don't know where anything is. So tired.

I've got a down stairs shitter! I could potentially now, with the aid of two mirrors, play Killing Floor 2 whilst curling one out.
