You must not get out much.

Urinals are in many homes, however; they are usually those out of the means of the common man.

It's not unusual for some large estate homes to have restrooms much like you'd see in a restaurant with 2-3 urinals and a stall or two.

Because people are afraid of urinals, I thought we established that.

I thought urinals were deisigned to deal with a lot of traffic. Like in businesses and such. Not to piss in once or twice a day.

We used to have one in the garage. There was a small bathroom with a urinal and sink.

:laugh: I could come by every morning and piss all over the seat and floor for that added restroom authenticity! :p

I'm going to put a urinal in my garage when I get around the redoing all the drywall. It's going to in a half bath type room with a sink.

I already have a "real" half bath downstairs with toilet.

Ohhh by the way, my wife said she doesn't mind the urinal. She said "Whatever, it's your garage baby, you do whatever you want in there!" So I'm starting strip club next week, she has no room to bitch, she said I could! :)
