I’ve been blessed with a bit more spare time than usually lately and have decided to blow it by watching ridiculous television shows. Lately, I’ve been watching The Marriage Ref. Surprisingly, it’s pretty funny, and I can listen to it in the background when I’m doing other work. It’s actually playing as I write this.
Without knowing what the show is about, it got me thinking about putting a urinal in my home. I can’t do it now, but I’m seriously thinking about doing it once I have the means.
Think about it, the average toilet uses 1.5-3.5 gallons per flush. A urinal uses 1 and in some cases none at all. Using American Standard’s little calculator I’d save $27 a year in water bills which hardly gets this thing to pay for itself. But it’s convenient and the model I want would save 4,300 gallons of water a year. I think that’s pretty green of me (specking of green I caved and got some reusable grocery bags).
So here’s the model I want. It’s a waterless model and if you’ve ever used them you’ll know they’re extra convenient because you don’t have to flush.
I can’t really figure out why larger and for lavish homes regularly come with bidets (even though they look like a torture device to me) but don’t include urinals. From a male perspective using a urinal is much easier and the more tired we get the worse our aim gets as well. Better to be shooting free throws at the end of a game than throwing out half-court shots.
It’s time to start a trend, who’s with me?
PS: Just because it exists I have to share the 10 coolest urinals ever found.
