Watched through The Drew Carey Show not too long ago, and this post reminds me of this exchange:
Mimi: I caught this perv in the ladies’ room.
Larry: Hey, I was taking a nap. There’s a couch in there! Why don’t we have a couch in the men’s room?
Drew: If there was a couch in the men’s room, would you want to sit on it?
Larry: Good point.
Speaking as someone who has cleaned public washrooms for a living before, I would be greatly more distrustful of a couch in the ladies room. Both are suspect though.
Oh my God. I’ve carried that quote around in my head for years, but had forgotten where I heard it. Man… I should watch that show again. Haven’t seen a single episode since it was originally airing.
It’s for the people just using the bathroom as a quiet place to collect themselves and get their shit together, without having to sit on the toilet lid.
Never really thought about that, but then again I would rather sit on the lid than the couch 😀
If I had to sit somewhere in the rest room, you can see whether the toilet lid is contaminated, germs wouldn’t live long on the toilet lid, and it is possible to sanitize. That chair is in the splash zone, you can’t even tell whether it is contaminated, germs could live forever, and there is no way to sanitize
Easy, dip in formaldehyde.
Or so the person holding your hand while you squeeze one out has a comfy place to sit.
Shitting all by yourself, handsome?
as someone who lives in a place where they lock the bathrooms to avoid people doing drugs and overdosing in them this seems like a strange luxury that would never happen here.
Couch?
My in-laws have carpet in one of their toilets. That’s about as disgusting as this.
I was extremely happy when we replaced the carpet in the bathroom. Walking into a carpeted bathroom is one of those moments when you just shudder uncontrollably.
I had green shag pile carpet in the bathroom of my first house. Very disturbing experience.
My best guess for a reasonable answer would be the room is used to dress, and the bar indicates someone with a disability so sitting while dressing is a thing. I do agree it’s not the best, something easier to clean and wipe down would be better.
Even leather instead of cloth would be better.
That’s for your sorority sister to help hold your hair back.
Clearly a toilet fitted for a handicapped person. The added chair isn’t much of a surprise to me. What is a surprise is the material choice for the chair and walls.
That’s the recovery chair
Honestly, I’ve needed that before. After the full-strip shits.
OP, how do you not see that’s not a couch? It’s an armchair. Do you somehow not know what a couch is? It’s like calling a villa a skyscraper or a sailboat a cruise ship.
You are correct, it didn’t strike me at first lol
Cheering section for when you really need to grab onto something and give it hell.
Look, don’t blame people for needing a rest after their chipotle evacuations
after
Between?
Good point :)
For kids to sit while their parents use the toilet, maybe?
It’s an accessible toilet, this is for a carer.
It’s for sitting when you hold your homie’s hair back while they upchuck.
This is the setup for my low budget talk show called “Coach On The Shitter” (COTS)
