Why do gays screw in public bathtooms
It feels almost like reading, “Thou art a wicked wench!”so archaic does this Facebook comment sound, at least to me. Suddenly obsessive worry seems so over. Anyway, this was posted below a column of mine that ran in the Chicago Tribune:
Call me a Helicopter Mom all you want, but my child will never walk to school alone. That’s my choice for my child. He’s six and Thank Goodness for Family restrooms because I don’t trust a youngster going into the men’s public restroom alone either. There are bad people in this world and I am solely responsible for his well-being. Obviously, I cannot be there every second of the day, but I will be there when I can. 2015 is not the same as 1985. I’m sorry. Trust me, my child has plenty of fun and has the same experiences as others his age, but his health and guard are my priority.
I actually don’t doubt that her son has fun. It’s the idea that anyone who lets their kid walk to school or be independent does NOT prioritize their kids’ health and safety. We do.
That’s why we let them go. – L
For all the innovations in restroom design, water is still central to function. It can cost you, though. Here are some areas to focus on for effective water reduction.
Make Sure You Have Effective Toilets
Toilets are the biggest culprits of water waste. If you haven’t upgraded in awhile, older toilets can cost you between 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush! Make way for new High Efficiency Toilets (HETs) that take your per flush amount down to 1.28 GPF. That’s a lot of savings.
According to the American Water Works Association, a toilet flushing 7 gallons is costing you an estimated 12,775 gallons PER PERSON each year. Contrast that to 2,336 gallons per person with a 1.28 GPF toilet, and the difference is obvious.
New federal plumbing standards dictate that toilets can only use up to 1.6 gallons per flush anyways, so an upgrade is going to net you some savings.
Make Sure You Have Efficient Faucets Too!
Aerators are the screw-on clue of the faucet where the water spills out. Modern aerators can expand your water efficiency by 40%, and they only cost about $5 a pop. That’s a no-brainer.
Automatic shut-off is an important consideration, too. Many faucets come with meters or ti
A Plea From A Miss With Crohn’s: Please Enable Me Use Your Bathroom
This past Sunday, I woke up feeling determined.
I was going to travel to a spin class!
Other than the marathon and a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, I haven’t been up for much in the fitness department. Running and other high-impact workouts don’t generally agree with my stomach, and sometimes all the twisting and inverting in yoga makes that an undesirable option, too. But if I can get to a studio, I tend to accomplish OK on a spin bike. I’m close to a bathroom at all times, it’s low impact, and my worst case scenario is hopping off my bike mid-class to use the bathroom. Manageable, right?
So I psyched myself up to head into Manhattan on Sunday for a class, hoping for the best and planning for the worst.
I left the apartment with plenty of time to build all the usual bathroom stops between home and the studio. (I’m not new around here. I’m a pro at planning this stuff and timing it all accordingly.)
I was doing fine on the five-minute walk from my apartment to the ferry station until about four minutes in. Then it was clear that I’d need to hustle and use the bathroom at the f
Then, there's the absolutely genius argument of "privacy" in something literally called a "public toilet" which just makes so much sense. Not to mention that separate stalls with doors that can be locked somehow aren't enough, apparently. Do you arrange secret meetings and discuss world domination in those widespread toilets if you need that much privacy? I realize this sounds insane, but you're a human being appreciate everyone else and the world actually doesn't revolve around you, so just mind your possess business and execute your thing.
As for gender segregation itself, it hasn't always been that way and don't unlearn that there also used to be racial segregation for public toilets. As you can dream, people had similar nonsensical arguments in favor of racial segregation too, but not havin
Why are tamperproof bolts & screws used with bathroom stall partitions?
Crafter_Man1
I’ve noticed the stall partitions in most public bathrooms are affixed to the walls using tamperproof hardware. Is there really such a big demand for these partitions that people are willing to steal them? I have also seen them used in the bathrooms of businesses and DoD facilities . What’s the deal?
Fear_Itself2
I don’t think they steal them with any profit motive. It is just mindless vandalism.
Joey_P3
I believe they’re more concerned with people taking them apart just becuase. Just becuase why? Just becuase your shitting with nothing else to do, and if you have a dime or something else flat, why not take the walls down.
I think, like you said, it’s more that they’re meant to be tamper proof, not theft proof.
We had another thread on this, lesse if we can identify it.
Joey_P4
The hell with it, I’m not seaching for it if it’s gonna take me 10 minutes.
Q.E.D5
The stall components come with the hardware already. Even if it’s to be installed in a location unlikely to suffer vandalism, like the Pentagon, it’ll still include the tamper-proof fasteners.
