DH wants to install a urinal!

I've just found out from the builder that DH has asked him to install a urinal in the new bathroom!? We're having an extension onto the garage and it's meant to be a games room for the 2 boys but DH has since been making noises about putting a fully functioning bar in there with fruit machines and now a fucking urinal! I'm fucking fuming!!

Seems weird and he should have discussed it with you but... Why fuming? It wouldn't in place of a regular toilet would it?

BrutusMcDogface · 08/07/2018 15:08

Omg! Why wouldn't he consult you first?! I'd hate a urinal in my home! Yuk!

What the fuck. Build a toilet in there & give him a funnel - the stupid fool

Seasawride · 08/07/2018 15:29

Imagine the builder told you as he thinks it’s a crazy idea too. Yeuk no way. Who wants to clean that???

Bar and fruit machines? How old are your boys. Guessing toddlers and it’s really dads room! Wink

Is it on the plans for the extension?

Kpo58 · 08/07/2018 15:32

Couldn't he just use the compost heap instead?

SouthWestmom · 08/07/2018 15:33

I saw a basin urinal the other day and considered it for our bathroom. If he means one that's just a differently shaped loo I can't see an issue.

It's going to smell like a Saturday night pubs pissed up toilets - nice.
Get industrial extractor fans and slop buckets in, op. Grin

GreyGardens88 · 08/07/2018 15:40

As a man I think that's an awesome idea ha

GreatWesternValkyrie · 08/07/2018 15:40

Was he a pub landlord in a former life?

Perhaps you could distract him with talk of a home cinema instead. Or a home bowling alley. Or a go kart track!

Bluelady · 08/07/2018 15:41

That'll be fun when you try to sell the house.

MojoMoon · 08/07/2018 15:45

Why on earth would you want fruit machines at home?

A bar and maybe a pinball machine is fair enough but playing a fruit machine at home alone is pretty sad.

This may miss the point.

"Who wants to clean that"

I much prefer cleaning urinals to toilets. At least nobody shits in a urinal...

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/07/2018 15:47

No just no. It will make your house stink. Get him one of these

They absolutely stink, ask him to clean it if he insists

I am a man.

No way would I agree to this. If I was a builder, I would ensure both husband and wife were Ok with it before I began installing it.

Scribblegirl · 08/07/2018 15:54

Genuine question, what’s better about a urinal than a normal toilet? Isn’t it basically the same - er - experience?!?

Scribblegirl · 08/07/2018 15:54

(That said I would be super on board for a game room/bar extension!)

pigeondujour · 08/07/2018 15:55

Why does he think the extension is just for him when he's got a wife and two kids? Confused how unattractive.

titchy · 08/07/2018 15:57

Tell the builder to install it at child height as it's for your kids....

Godowneasy · 08/07/2018 15:59

Never has " No is a complete sentence" been so neccessary!

FeistyOldBat · 08/07/2018 16:02

Make it conditional on two things: he cleans it, and you also have a bidet. You can get toilet seats that act like a bidet, but don't tell him that straightaway.

He's not opening a pub is he?
