it’s not odor-free. And pee is urine and water isn’t it?

Urine odor primarily results from the reaction of the urine with water and air, creating ammonia gas. Without water, there’s no reaction.

Bacteria and viruses thrive on moist surfaces, and the wet surface of a flush urinal is a breeding ground for their growth. Plus, flushing creates a plume that spread them around the restroom!

haha.. Falcon is the brand I saw.. I just checked the brochure i grabbed

The heart of the Falcon Waterfree urinal system is the cartridge, which acts as a drain trap. The cartride design and use of nonporous materials ensure that all urine passes into the cartridge and trough a unique biodegradable sealant. The pleasant-smelling sealant liquid provides an airtight barrier between the drain and the restroom to prevent odors from escaping. The sealant lasts for the life of the cartridge so there is no need to add sealant between cartridge changes. The cartridge also acts as a trap for uric sediment, which could otherwise contribute to drainage pipe clogging. The results are a virtually odor-free environment, clean pipes and no water waste.!!!!

haha romo, that’s such a good idea, except i’m usually stuck in meatings while the janitorial staff comes in so taking the sign off would be trouble some.

As for the no water toilets, they suck shit. I had them at UBC in my building in my last year and it was the fucking worst. The one’s we had were made by Falcon or whatever brand, but the way it worked (i looked it up.. they had a website on the urinal) is that there’s some gel-like material beneath the hole you pee into, then that slowly filters down the pee so there’s no need for water and apparently the smell is take away by the gel. Sadly, the fucks didn’t take into account that 5 to 10 guys would be unloading into it in the 10 mins between class so what you get is instead of a whole to pee into, a flooded lake of old-pee that just sits there until it can slowly be filtered down.

this is also not even taking into account the fucks that purposely plug the whole with gum or tissues.

Gawd. Save the environment my ass. We’d all die sooner from the bacteria and vomit in the men’s washroom.

flush after pee? that's in the past, WATERLESS is the future! in fact they have these in kwantlen bathrooms, and they even got automatic door, other than you have to touch yourself - which might be the best part for some ppl, it's literally hands free, unless you have to apuu

Also, feel free to bring in your own favorite brand of toilet paper for your preferred level of ass to paper softness without fear of it being used up by anyone else.

The solution here is to build your own “Out of Service” sign and post it on your stall of choice at the beginning of your work day. You will have free reign on your very own toilet without ever having to worry about foreign germs ever again. 9 times out of 10 apathy will override anyones sense of curiosity and no one will bother to ask management about the authenticity of the sign.

At the end of your work day, when no one is looking, remove the sign when you leave the office so the janitorial staff won’t find it and bring attention to the management about someone posting false out-of-service signs.

Congratulations on securing your very own work toilet.
