Why won't my wife compromise? I thought marriages were supposed to be compromises.

[StageLeft]

So, we're trying to save a little money. I eat protein powder and have a few 10lb tubs kicking around. I had what I think is a bright idea to start using these as mini-potties in the house. Basically, only for #1, we'll fill these and instead of flushing down lots of water (read: $$$), once these are full, we dump it and start again.

My wife was against this from the start. She refuses to partake. So I say ok, fair enough, we'll compromise. Instead of waiting until this potty tub is full, we'll wait until it's half-full. I only asked her to meet me half way, but nope she says no potty-buckets in our house.

I don't get women. They complain when we spend money on beer and then won't even less us piss that beer into a money-save potty-bucket.

pic of unreasonable wife?

 

[Farang]

Ferment it and you can save money on booze, too

 

[waggy]

yeah...can't say i blame her.

 

[Miklebud]

Only at ATOT...

 

[Chryso]

She is clearly cheating.

 

[Drakkon]

sounds like reasonable logic to me...save money on water...convenience factor....apart from the stench but i imagine you'll get used to that...I don't get what her problem is 😕

 

[nakedfrog]

Maybe it's the form factor? Would water bottles be better? Or perhaps some urns?

 

[JulesMaximus]

You should suggest that you recycle the pee. Add a little sugar and call it lemonade!

Oh wait, sugar costs money, better just drink it straight.

Why take half measures when you can just build a privy in your backyard and go fully back to the 19th century?

 

[Scouzer]

You should probably cane her.

I once had a girlfriend that liked to pee in jars.

I think the problem is the tubs are not big enough! Get the 20lb tubs so she can pee in them. Makes an easier target for you as well.

 

[PricklyPete]

Ingenious. You should avoid cleaning clothes, washing dishes...or really even showering. You can save mad money and buy your wife something nice...like a loaf of bread and some ham so she can make you more sammiches.

If it's yellow, mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.

 

[Exterous]

Whats wrong with a trench in the back yard?

 

[zerogear]

Why not just throw a 1 Liter soda bottle filled with water in the toilet tank? Save on water per flush.

Maybe, I don't know, flush the toilet once per day and let the urine accumulate that way?

Problem is, once the fluid hits a certain level the toilet auto-flushes. That's why the tubs are so great. Let's us track the "ins and outs", too, in case we need that information for medical reasons.

I still find that solution to be pretty unsanitary.
