Especially because that’s where cigarette butts are supposed to go.
Is it at least the same flavor?
After a little while in the urinal, it’s all the same flavor.
I’ve noticed some (ill-mannered) people seem to like to spit into the urinal while they’re pissing. Maybe the gum fell out by accident?
If by flavor you mean color…then yes. Both days were yellow-ish. But as I said, it wasn’t clear if it was the same piece, or a newly deposited one.
Like they needed to spit, but couldn’t manage do to it without including their gum with their saliva? That’s being charitable I suppose. I guess it’s better than it ending up on the floor.
No further incidents this week. I’ll keep everyone up-to-date as events warrant.
Here’s a recent article from Wired about waterless urinals. The article seems to not really have an opinion as to whether or not the things are good or bad. But, if you’ve never heard of waterless urinals before (like me), it’s a sort of interesting read.
Because you can’t shit in it.
I like the argument against them made by the person the plumbers union hired "Fox didn’t perform any tests, but by examining the designs of the Falcon and other waterless urinals, she concluded that hydrogen sulfide gases in the sewer lines could escape when the cartridges were replaced, resulting in “unconsciousness, respiratory paralysis, and death.”
Those would be the same gases the plumbers have to breath every time they open up a drain system…right? It seems to me that if that argument won everyone over, suddenly the plumbers would all have to wear gas masks every time they take a trap off a drain.
Oh, I’m pretty sure one could, if properly motivated.
