      Omg I came here to comment exactly this. Such a luxury

      You know, you could bring a water bottle to the bathroom and one of these pocket sized bidet caps and nobody would really know. Unless you chose a crinkly bottle I guess

        Um… my dude… I’m going to need a lot more water pressure than that…

        That being said, I wonder if you could make an adapter for a battery powered paint sprayer… or just give zero fucks and leave a pressure washer in the stall. Obviously not full power, but pressure wouldn’t be an issue then.

          Well I hope she owned it, though if pre-covid probably not. Sentiment has shifted a little since the great tp shortage.

          If I was her today I’d fuckin own it. Already use those portable ones to shit in the woods.

      I have a bidet but can only use it in the summer because the water is ice in the winter :(. I’d love to hook up the hot water to it but there’s no way to do it in my rented house

        A lot of Japanese bidets have a water AND seat heating feature, no need for hot water hookup. I know it seems expensive but it’s very well-made and I’m very happy with mine.

    I can only imagine. Can you image working in construction? No break room. Nowhere to sit for lunch. Eight porta potties for two hundred workers, sitting in the direct sun on a code red day. Dude that cleans them is puking.

    When I got higher up, and got access to an entire building, I’d find an empty floor and use those bathrooms. Pure luxury.

      Having worked construction, there are plenty of places to sit for lunch if you don’t mind improvising or you drive to work. Porta-johns are definitely nightmarish tho. On the last job I worked, someone (we still aren’t sure who) missed the hole with a puddle of straight diarrhea, rendering one of the only two toilets on the entire job virtually unusable.

    I mean im not the type like my wife who will hold it to not use an outside toilet but I have to agree. I would say access to your fridge is equally useful though. Its just way more convenient overall. Sill not having the commute is tops. I generally had to give myself an hour on leaving to make sure I would arrive ontime and for whatever reason traffic always seems worse in the evening. So like 10 hours incinerated with travel per week. Then like the additional getting ready is like 30mins so thats another 2.5 and that fridge thing means you can eat without going out but you don’t have to pack a lunch. going to give that another .5. All the incidentals from walking my dog to being able to catch a 30min show at lunch im going to say its worth at least 2 more. Its easy to see its worth 25% on the low side and 30% on the high side (with the caveat that a job is useless if it can’t meet your bills).

    This is a valid point, the down side is I have to pay for the toilet paper and water myself.

      Pro tip, any time you do visit the office, bring a standard key for the dispenser. I mean they bought it for your use, right? If you don’t have an office nearby you can always visit someone else’s office.

    Yes and I can use it as often as I want without guilt.

    That and I can play music and videos with bothering anyone as background noise.

    Actually the best benefit is being able to hang around my cat.

    And husband, it’s nice to see him too I guess.

    The toilets in my office are maintained by dedicated staff. The ones in my home are occasionally paid attention to by distracted volunteers.

    Disagree, it means I have to fight with my partner for use of the toilet and she is somehow always in the bathroom

      It really is. After 11 years of remote work I would never go back to an office. I also understand we can’t all work remote. I was an automotive and industrial painter for most of my pre-IT career and that would have been rather difficult to do over the internet :p
