Give me double toilets mate, couples that shit together, stay together
In case this isn’t a shit post, it’s because it takes me 2 minutes to get ready for bed and it takes my wife 15 minutes, and it’s nice to not have to wait for the other to be finished at the sink.
my wiiifee she takes so long! I need my own sink!
lol sorry friend, I came in here to make a joke about men not wanting to wait for their wives and decided against it after typing it out, then immediately saw this.
Its actually helpful having more than one sink, I’d be overjoyed to have laundry trough in my bathroom.
Yeah, same thing in the morning. You’re both rushed to get ready for work and it is one less thing to worry about having to sync your routines. Definitely a luxury, but pretty simple to implement, comparatively.
Dual toilets, or go all the way to separate bathrooms, is more expensive. Plumbing is harder, fixtures are more. But I admit I’m intrigued by the idea of completely separate sleeping/bathing spaces and only sharing the kitchen and living areas. Like, how far can we separate things before they get “weird” for you?
What does the sink have to do with that though? Even if you are talking about brushing teeth, potentially having to borrow the sink for like 8 seconds seems like a good tradeoff to get more counter and storage space I. The bathroom or shrink the bathroom so it doesn’t waste as much sqftage.
Teeth, makeup (removal), shaving, nails, and whatever else.
I guess it’s a preference. I get to have my few things arranged how I like, she hers. We wouldn’t have any use for the extra counter space either, to be honest.
I don’t really prefer one way or the other. We bought the house and it has a double sink, when I renovated it I put in an ikea one because that’s what was there. 🤷
Teeth, makeup (removal), shaving, nails, and whatever else.
You do all of that in 2 minutes?
I wouldn’t renovate to get rid of such, but it just seems so wasteful by whoever originally designed it unless you have like a 4000 sq ft place for like 4 people and don’t care about waste.
my sister’s house (no mansion, just a recent build) has double sinks in the master bedroom. the layout(s) of the bathrooms house-wide are annoying to me. it seems all new builds are just large for largesse rather than utility; laid out more for the listing than for use.
it’s a 4 bedroom 4 bath house. upstairs, the master has its bath complete with two sinks like post (toilet is relegated to a weird claustro-closet). one of the sinks in her bathroom is a junk drawer ha!
The other 3 bedrooms: one has its own master bath and shower, and the final two bedrooms have a shared bath n’ shower set between them. none of these bathrooms are accessible from the hallway, you must go thru a bedroom to do your business.
there is one “public” bathroom on the main level…now lemme talk about that stinker.
This damn thing is a half-bath, set right between the kitchen and living area. i don’t know how the architect managed it, but it is somehow accoustically perfected to deliver your performance to the rooms nearby where everyone’s tryina hang out.
Exaggeration? Not even. Like, forget stealth mode, you need a battle plan with flawless execution. You think things are going well? One slip-up and the people watching tv or chatting will be interrupted by your public broadcast. The noise is seriously noticeable.
No, I’m not scatalogically shy, nor do i possess super-hearing. It’s a problem. A bad enough problem she eventually had another bathroom installed basement-level so guests might poo without detailing exquisitely to everyone what they ate that day.
New house designs have gotten so shitty, and McMansions are the worst offenders. I live in an old WW1 era house and while it lacks in a feq modern conveniences like an HVAC system, the built-in efficiences are wonderful.
Every room has a solid door, and closing them gives you a lot of privacy. Walls naturally insulate, allowing me to open windows on cool evenings and close them in the morning before the heat arrives – It can be as low as 70 indoors when it’s 90 outside. This works in reverse too when it’s heat you need instead. If it’s truly hot, the windows are all positioned to allow a breeze to pass straight thru the household.
If needed, the kitchen can be closed off to stop the heat, smoke, and odors from permeating the house. This makes the kitchen more of a strict workspace and less of a socializing area though. There are a lot of major hassles in having an older house, but the energy efficiency is wonderful
why do they put their toilets in their bathrooms? i understand why people with small houses/apartments do it, but why not have a separate toilet room if you have a 9200 square foot house anyway?
they’re weird.
Well, I do prefer to wash my hands after cleaning myself and before touching 2 door handles, so I get that one.
I’ve never seen a toilet that didn’t have at least a small sink in there.
oh so the prorposal was a bathroom with no toilet (so sink and shower/bath), and a toilet separate from that room that also has a small washing station or something. yeah that could work
I’ve been in houses where toilets were in small closets with nothing else. I didn’t like touching the doorknobs.
Yeh same, most of my life I’ve lived in houses where the toilet was separate from the sink, so you had to open at least one door on the way. There are some really cool Japanese toilets I’ve seen where there’s a small handbasin above the cistern that runs after each flush. Seemed very efficient
“Everything I don’t understand is a fetish, a disturbingly accurate guide to life”
Ok granted, but double toilets without any separation would 100% be a fetish thing. You can’t tell me otherwise.
It’s pretty convenient to jump straight from the shitter to the shower. Saves a bit of time and paper.
A nice toilet-less bathroom with a big tub would be nice though for special cleaning occasions.
If you check Zillow for mansions for the absurdly rich it’s actually pretty common to have his and hers toilets/bathrooms off the enormous master bedroom, often through huge his and hers walk in wardrobes the size of normal peoples bedrooms.
The question really is side by side or front to front. Are you holding hands when you haven’t had enough fibre? Or are you looking into each others eyes while you pass that log?
