    Can we just get a bathroom design where they are a wall of stalls with a urinal and toilet inside and the hand washing station is on the outside without a door blocking the path? I hate bathroom doors after washing hands, especially when they don’t have a way to open the doors without touching the handle. Just put the sinks outside the bathroom.

      I have been to places with this layout.

      Private stalls. Sinks and hand washing open and visible to the hallway. Nobody feels threatrned or uncomfortable.

      No one needs urinals.

      Case in point: No one has one in their home.

        That’s a bad argument. How many people have hundreds, maybe thousands of people using their toilet every hour? Urinals are made for high traffic areas, where large numbers of men need to pee, and they also save water by not needing to be flushed every time.

        Home bathrooms are single-occupancy, plus most people don’t have the room. They’re definitely beneficial for higher volume places as add much more capacity for less space, and act as an “express lane” of sorts.

        Ah but the toilet sitters do appreciate how much less urine is on the seats and around the bowl. I would have a urinal in my home if I was to remodel my bathroom. They are convenient.

          You can also just sit to pee, so that there’s less urine on the seats and around the bowl. No need for a urinal, which also has splash back.

          If you splash urine all over the place when peeing you’re sitting wrong.
