Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
I keep asking Maggie to accommodate me in this way and she keeps being very emphatic about the no.
…this might be the last of the Saturdays I’ve earmarked before diving back into the Story? I’ll have to investigate tomorrow at the last second when I need to upload a new strip.
or…
MORE than one bathroom??
Joyce would find a way to occupy both, I reckon.
Assuming they do have two bathrooms, maybe Sal’s using the other bathroom at the moment.
They do not. It’s come up before.
I am unclear about the physical space this is taking place in.
Also, it’s probably best Joyce not do it, lest it awaken something in her.
It looks like a bathroom with a half-wall constructed to isolate the toilet as much as possible. They exist.
Sure. The other side of that small wall is probably the bathtub.
We only just got our second toilet fixed after a three year wait. I swear there was an ongoing conspiracy, it seemed that whenever I needed to go someone else was already there. Even at 2am. And just to prolong the agony it took a week before anyone thought to tell me it’d been fixed.
My grandparents’ house, prior to about five years ago when they built an expansion, had only one bathroom. I don’t recall anyone in my family ever actually trying to do something like this, but I recall being sorely tempted a few times.
My husband just told me their house in LONDON before immigrating to the US didn’t have indoor plumbing, they had to install a toilet before they sold the house
So yay not having to use an outhouse I guess Joyce and Walky but 🙃
Almost before I can remember, my parents added a second level to their house and we went from one bathroom to three. Which became two less than a decade later when a leak rotted the downstairs bathroom’s floor and we just kinda did nothing about it for almost 20 years. Floor is still kinda scary to me now when I go back. But anyway, I must have had to wait sometimes because there were four of us, but my parents’ bathroom was usually available if our bathroom was occupied.
I don’t think there was ever a problem when I was in college because I was either in the dorm with public bathroom setup or living with a roommate who was on a very different schedule from me. (The apartment we lived in the second year that was around the back of the house we shared a loft in the first year had an extra roomy bathroom because apparently until just before we moved in it had two toilets close enough for hand holding for some reason?)
When I struck out on my own, I was on my own for three years so it didn’t matter that I only had one bathroom.
Then I got a two-bedroom with a roommate and it had 1.5 baths so I never had to wait.
Now I’m married in a 1/1 and waiting is rare but a lot less rare than at any other time in my life.
I love my boyfriend very very much, but I might just kick him in the junk if he tried to pee between my legs.
(Though I also have an incredibly weak stomach when it comes to body fluids and would barf everywhere if he succeeded, which would then trigger my stomach again, so my reaction might be more rabid than a lot of folks.)
And yet there’s a shower drain right there, being ignored. Poor thing.
Not to mention the sink with a perfectly good drain as well.
My thoughts exactly.
He could also pee into an empty bottle or can, or — worst case scenario — into a pitcher, glass, or cup from the kitchen cupboard.
Just make sure you wash that piece of dishware EXTREMELY well before using it for its originally-intended purpose again.
Considering that this has happened multiple times already (this strip and the next two after), I don’t understand why they don’t have two bathrooms by now.
It’s hard to add a new bathroom to an apartment.
It’s been a long time but this strip is over of two that sick out ony my mind as being near the end of the freebies. So, you might be right.
Sigh…. *Sticks out*
This may be one of the very few times it’s acceptable to pee in the shower.
Don’t try to use something like a Gatorade bottle, like a trucker or gamer. The piss jug life is not a life you want to live.
The other being ‘when you’re already in there’?
Which is why, if at all possible, I have a rule that there must be at least as many toliets in my home as human butts that live there. 😉
Walky, this is a bad idea, and would be exponentially worse if you sneezed.
I recall a mention of a cat that once was claimed to have suddenly expelled every possible secretion from every possible orifice at once
So Walky doing similar is horrifying, especially in proximity to Joyce
Because living together can sometimes be difficult in unexpected ways.
