We had these in grade school and in the gym at junior high. Never seen em since.

[shortylickens]

Did you folks use these? With the pink powdered soap?

 

[whm1974]

Yes I did. Did schools get of them?

 

[IronWing]

Yep, we had them. I've seen them in factory change rooms as well. Walmart has a newer version without the foot pedals.

 

[Thebobo]

We have an all stainless steel one at work. Very large bathroom with like 8 stalls.

 

[lxskllr]

I don't think I've ever seen one aside from festival type setups.

edit:
BTW, we used to have the full length urinals at my elementary school. If Trump really wants to make America great again, he'll bring those back. That was when we lived like kings.

 

[Thebobo]

I worked in a place that had lots of toilets with no stalls.

 

[snoopy7548]

Is that a urinal?

 

[Mayne]

powdered soap? lol

but yeah that brings back memories. I i'm just trying to imagine soldering the mixer valves for these nightmares.

in the 4th grade we moved and i went to a new school. the art class had one and it was the first time i ever saw one. I had no idea how to turn on the water for several days.

lol funny, the race track we go to for saturday night races has those. man its like stepping back 50 years.

 

[Mayne]

i think it was the best part of my elementary experience back in the 70's.

I remember those, or at least similar ones. The pink soap dispensers rarely worked. I recall the half moon ones too, they were also a more black marble.

The floors at my first school were also made of the same style of "marble". Basically large tiles with metal borders, and they wrapped up to the wall to create a sort of baseboard. I can still picture them in my head actually. Weird the types of memories that stay in the brain.

When they built my new high school they had similar ones in the bathroom but all stainless steel. Come to think of it those things must be bloody expensive, surprised they don't just put in sinks. Maybe it's easier to clean?

The urinal troughs were the best of course we always tried to piss long ways down em.

Yeah I remember when we got a new kid in the 5th grade, he was confused as fuck. Teacher yelled at him for not washing his hands. He cried. My buddy had to show him how the thing works. Good times.

I've seen sinks like these in at least a half dozen workplaces. Places where people actually get dirty.

Terrazzo floors? It’s often literal chips of marble in an epoxy and ground down. Very durable, and can be quite beautiful.

[midnight growler]

I remember one from summer camp.

 

[pete6032]

Yep we had them in elementary school.

 

[Iron Woode]

LOL

I saw one in elementary school. We only had one and it was on the ground floor where the Grades 1 - 4 were. The upper level had normal sinks.

 

[TheVrolok]

Sure did.

 

[Thebobo]

Ok its take a picture of your work restroom and post it here day!

Yes, we still have these in the factory area at my work. Two years ago, I got stuck showing a college new hire around the plant. The plant is over a mile long and 1/4 mile wide. I walked this guy everywhere, showing him the robotic drills, lathes, composite layout, wiring, tubing, etc. After about 1 1/2 hours, he asked me where the bathroom was. I walked him over to one of these types of sinks and then told him to step on the bottom bar when finished to wash his urine down, plus he can use the soap dispenser to wash his hands. He walks over to it, has a really confused look on his face, is looking around everywhere, then says "But, everyone can see me." I told him that it didn't matter because most of the people in the factory were guys. Right as he's about to unzip, a woman walks by and he is like totally panicked. I start laughing so hard I nearly busted a gut. While laughing I then pointed out the restroom door 15 feet behind the sink. You should have seen his face. Fire engine red, and he was really pissed off. After he went and did his business he came back and angrily told me the tour was over. I nicknamed him Red, and now everyone calls him by that name, although most don't know why. It took him about a week to get over it, and he's one of my better friends at work.

I wish I could but since it is an Air Force Plant, photos aren't allowed.

 

[Carson Dyle]

I'm sure they're still installed in workplaces everywhere. You can be covered in grease to your armpits and easily able to wash up without leaving an ungodly mess for someone else to clean up.

 

[NetWareHead]

Yeah I remember those. We had those in my elementary through high schools in shop class.

Yes I agree. Always liked those full height urinals. I always said that I want a urinal in my home and if I can get my wish, I'd like a full height one.
