Can you clarify this for me, please?

A request for clarification on this topic.

Bylaws say they have to have 2 urinals and this is the only way they can fit them in.

This is the correct answer. Building capacity and bathrooms are related. I know a place like this.

> Bylaws say they have to have 2 urinals Where I worked (in California, and this was 20 years ago) there was a state law that said any bathroom with only one toilet must be any gender (men, women, trans, etc). There was **ALSO** an OSHA rule saying that when there were more than number of employees (might have been more than 15 employees?) there absolutely must be dedicated men’s bathrooms separate from the dedicated women’s bathrooms. This created a situation where the only way we could figure out how to be compliant with all the rules was to jam two toilets into a small area so that we were allowed to make it a dedicated women’s bathroom. To be clear, we had several “any gender” bathrooms with only one toilet in them. Then we ALSO had a few dedicated “men’s bathrooms” and “women’s bathrooms” to satisfy the OSHA part of the rules. But the latter dedicated gender bathrooms then had to contain multiple toilets to avoid running afoul of the any gender California rule.

But toilets ALSO have a minimum spacing requirement (15” unobstructed from the center to each side, so 30” wide total.) So two toilets would have to be 30” apart. That’s assuming they’re not ADA accessible, which requires much more space.

> So two toilets would have to be 30” apart. For our situation (not this OP’s original particular situation). The bathroom “rooms” we had were (this is an estimate based on memory) about 120″ by 48″ (with some variance between each bathroom). As long as we managed to get 2 toilets in that one room, we could make it a legal “women’s room” that didn’t violate California law. But if there is only 1 toilet, it violated California law to make a “gender specific bathroom”. I’m not sure what state/jurisdiction this particular situation is in. Also, sometimes you do the best you can to mitigate the possible penalties/fines. Let’s say the fine for having two toilets too close together is $500, and the fine for not having a gender specific bathroom is $1,000. You jam two toilets together (violating code), hope you never get caught, but you know the violation is limited to about $500 if you are caught. > That’s assuming they’re not ADA accessible Yes, several of our all gender single toilet bathrooms were ADA accessible. That happened to be easier for our particular layout than problem of cramming the two toilets into one bathroom, LOL. My observation is about half of these sorts of rules (including safety and fire rules) are actually quite reasonable. Stairways had to be a certain minimum width, then get 2 inches wider for each additional 5 people in the office. That’s pretty “reasonable” if you think about it, in a fire situation it allows more and more people to escape before burning to death. But the other half of the recommendations/rules were just kind of arbitrary and kind of forced and could conflict between California and Federal rules and it was my opinion the law makers didn’t even try to look at it from any rational perspective. Or think about the conflicts. Or make a recommendation in the case of the conflicts between two laws. We not only employed full time HR, Facilities, and compliance employees to navigate this stuff, but had a full legal team that worked with them. All to deal with… toilets (and other such minutiae).

Could you not just have a trough that covers the whole wall?

R

A trough would probably not qualify as 2 urinals as required by the Bylaws.

If there are 3 stalls, you go a stall over. Not the one directly or people will assume you want to talk about CrossFit.

Hear me out: one trough then another trough about 6 inches above the first one. Would that count as 2?

I feel if someone were to have a double dick for real. I think the size of both would be inadequate

People have had multiple dicks one or both usually dont work and even if they did theyre usually not located neatly next to each other.

I have a friend who works at a prestigious US hospital as a medical photographer. One day back in the early 2000s, she had to work with a man who had been scheduled to have one of his two penises surgically removed. She was assigned to photograph both the before and the after. She said they were roughly equal in size. However, she wasn’t given the details regarding how functional or non-functional each one was. As a professional, she didn’t ask. I’m afraid I could never be that professional myself.

Yeah dude, obviously. But his post was a big deal around here for a minute. Is everyone so busy trying to be right that they have no sense of nostalgia anymore? Also you’re like the 4th comment to say it.

The real extra dick was the friends we made along the way.

What do you think?
