Nah, it's because we're too lazy to walk more then 10 feet to use the bathroom.

Is it because, rather than flushing, you'd prefer to brick the room up and build a new one?


We only spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, and much more than that sh!tting or masturbating. Plus I don't get great reception for my televisions on all channels in some of my bathrooms, so sometimes I have to take a dump on the other side of the house if I don't want to miss any of the latest reality show.

The latest reality show which, presumably, consists of a network of CCTV cameras set in a million bathrooms so that obese, slack-jawed mouth-breathers can watch millions of other obese, slack-jawed mouth-breathers gawping at each other as they paw half-heartedly at their underused genitalia while straining purple-faced to crimp off off a curler into a brand-new lavatory?

Well , I live in India , and we have five family bathrooms , three on the first floor , and two on the ground floor . On the first fllor , we have one for me and my brother , one for my parents , and one for my grandparents . On the ground floot , we have one for my grandparents ( because they can't really be expected to go up and down , due to their age ) , and one general-puropse bathroom .

Then there is a seperate bathroom for domestic staff on the ground floor .

So it is not just an American phenomenon . This design ( one bathroom per bedroom/generation/couple , with one added for good measure or other unique reasons ) is standard for almost all the Indian houses I've seen .

Do you Americans ever, in your own homes, find bathrooms you've never know existed? Or possibly opened a door to what you think is a bathroom only to discover you're in Narnia?

Er . . . . funny that you ask , because a lot of people in the neighbourhood call out house the white house , as it the only house completely painted white . Coincidence , I guess , that you brought it up . So the answer would be - five + one .

Yea, it's called the Sheister and NBC is hanging it's hopes that it can ride those toilets back into the lead. They've already signed on American Standard, Charmin and Toto as sponsors.

What's the motivation behind it? Are those people with more bathrooms than bedrooms really willing to fork out thousands of pounds more simply because you're terrified that someone might smell your pooh?

You mean the average person in India has domestic staff??

And ignorant me thought many lived in farming villages....

Oh, and Middle Class people in Latin America also have large houses like the "typical Indian" house.

I grew up in a 3 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom house.

One of my uncles whose's a doctor has 4 houses (beach, Hills, 1 City apartment, I main house).His main house has at least 6 Bedrooms and as many bathrooms.This is NOT typical whatsoever, thought most modern apartments in Panama have 2 full bathrooms.

I live in huge house as well. It's two story, 9 room, 3 bathrooms and 2 bedroom house. We don't need AC, since it's very natural, the air flow. We wanted it to be this way, sure it costed us more than installing new AC but we were after the luxury.

I like my bathrooms so this is my personal bathroom, or as I like to call it, the master bathroom. I'm the only one allowed in it, but my lovers are allowed to join from my lead if we want to have sex in there. I have thought about installing 60" plasma tv's into every corner, so I can see hockey games even if I was bathing or just in the bathroom for fun.

Here is the guest toilet, as you can see one of my happy friends enjoying. This might seem a little weird solution to have many seats next to each other, but it is very practical and fun. My guests love it. Also stone is good material, if someone makes a mess, my servants can just hose the general area and it's clean again.

You should really try moving out on your own, its very rewarding.
