Why can't we go back to the (what I now know after Googling) is the Kohler Derry or something along those lines?

We had them in middle and high school and while I understand they might not be ideal for the inebriated or exceptionally careless you could piss anywhere in them as hard as you wanted without splash back.

Decades later I encountered one in a maintenance facility nestled in the corner of maintenance shop, obviously not a code compliant install, spare me the hand wringing) and casually mentioned that I didn't know they still made them like that and was told that this is the 3rd facility it has been installed in, the guys like it enough to uninstall it and reinstall it each time.



A picture for anyone else curious what a Kohler Derry looks like.

May be it's the angle, but it looks a little too closer to a toilet bowl than a urinal.

Occasional spills are probably easier to manage compared to a misunderstanding over it's purpose.


What direction do you use that from?


Too much risk of lower deckers
