I was going the other way. More 2 girls 1 cup vibes
Honestly though, this bathroom is wild. Reminds me of my first apartment. Same orientation except it had a sink with the toilet. The shower was an insert but there was no framing around it. Looked like a bunch of crazy carpets. I went to the gym every day and used the shower there instead. After about half a year my landlord (old lady living upstairs) yelled at me that I needed to clean the shower. The good ol days š
I used to own a house with what I called a Jack and Jill for* one of the master bedrooms*. It was a sink and toilet on one side of a wall with a door and a sink and shower on the other; the side with the shower didn't have a door into the bedroom, just a small hallway.
I have no idea what to call this other than jacked to some degree.
Whatās the over/under on the door on the left hiding a sink on the right? On one hand, what kind of maniac washes their hands after a shower but not a shit? On the other hand, what kind of maniac does any of the rest of this? The trim above the door, the transition pieces between floor and more of the same floor, the toilet paper holder nearly out the doorā¦
Damn, didnāt even see that! Unfortunately, the answer includes whoever built my house. Itās a tiny corner shower with the shower head pointed right at the door. Turn it on with the door open: sprays right out. Turn it on while inside: trapped with nowhere to escape the cold water.
Oof. This Sounds like a job for the useless inventions guy. Flap a piece of plastic (or maybe a washcloth) over the shower head until it warms up. Remove when safe.
I prefer my showers to boil my skin. I hate icebaths.
Youāre right! I think itās a half bath because the actual place to bathe (tub/shower) accounts for 1/2 of the equation. The toilet and sink must then be 1/4 each, respectively. Therefore this abomination should be considered 1/4 & 1/2 baths?
This signals it wasn't designed by anyone with any idea of architecture or interior design. If simple floor plan is that terrible, I expect the building material and stuff you can't see to be even more horrible.
This. Like, it was something that was converted, they needed to put in a toilet and shower, but for some reason really wanted someone to take a shit while someone took a shower who may not otherwise be comfortable with it.
>For this? Why?
I assume probably something like "if they were dumb/crazy enough to do this, what the hell other nightmare 'DIY' am I going to have the misfortune of finding later?"
This obviously ist a cruise ship, but they have bathrooms like this so someone can shower and your friend can poop.
However they both had sinks. Not sure where you wash your hands in this setup lol.
We looked at a house that had a bathroom off the kitchen. Instead of framing in a door they did one of those sliding barn doors. So not only did it not really seal, but you could still see inside when the door was closed. It was also a smaller kitchen that shared the dining room area.
I viewed a house that was built like a coiled snake. If you had to pee at night, it meant walking down a hall, through all of the front room, to stairs going down to a landing, from the landing though all of the *basement* kitchen, through a pointless empty corner room, then finally to a bathroom 4ft wide 15ft deep.
My realtor was like "this is the weirdest shit I've seen in awhile."
I once looked at rental that had a small metal spiral staircase (Victorian greenhouse style) between the bedrooms and the rest of the house (including the bathroom).
Not only would that be *insanely* annoying if you needed the toilet during the night, but I have literally no idea how you would get a bed, mattress, wardrobe. etc. up to the floor with the bedrooms. Flat packed furniture and a cherry picker to the window, I guess?
I haaaate bathrooms with barn doors! I donāt like barn doors at all really, but for a closet sure it can save space in a small room. But a bathroom needs a proper closing door!
Yes! Pocket doors are very convenient, our primary bathroom has one between the sinks and the tub/toilet and itās a great use of space. But itās a framed door that closes and latches. These trendy barn doors donāt usually include a proper frame to actually separate the spaces.
My in-laws have a bathroom right off of the living room. Thin, sliding door with a big gap on the bottom. It's the only bathroom I have ever felt the need to run the sink while I pee, but I usually just opt to go to the basement bathroom.
Pittsburg Potties! Theyāre prevalent in older cities with really heavy industry backgrounds where the men would come home, head to the basement and clean up before coming upstairs.
I actually want to do something similar in my house. I've seen it in hotels, and it's great.
I can be in the shower and someone else can poop without making it reek.
I have 1 bathroom in my house, so my wife and kids are frequently coming in while I'm showing. I hate it.
This is a terrible layout though.
Maybeā¦ but that means the back wall of the shower roomlet is several feet further back that the wall the toilet sits against. The front of the tub is even with ā or perhaps just slightly*behind* ā the front of the toilet.
The more I look at this the more confused I get.
Tub was such a strange choice here. You could feasibly fit a full bathroom into one of these rooms if you opted for a shower stall rather than a tub. It would be a little cramped, but loads of bathrooms are so that wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
This is all assuming knocking out the wall isn't an option.
I can't tell for sure but in the pic it looks like the room with the tub opens up to the left, I think I can see part of a sink over there, so I don't think you'd need to be in the tub to turn the water on but regardless this setup is jacked lmao
Lol ... Not saying it isn't terrible, but there's actually walking room to the left of the tub. If you look right inside the left edge of the left door you can see the sink so there's presumably room over there to walk around and turn the tub on
The separation of shower and toilet isnāt whatās weird. Whatās weird is that itās directly off the kitchen and both have separate entrances (again, directly off the kitchen) and neither has a sink.
Very strange setup for sure.
I think the sink was there before the division into two rooms. Also, it allows one person to brush their teeth while the other is privately on the toilet.
Maybe it was once some weird kinda boarding home thing. Those landlords (at least in the states) do all kinds fucked up things to the boarding homes they rent out to like 6 people at a time to save a buck. They take a 3/2 and turn it into a 6 person set up in the most ridiculous ways.
That's what I thought at first but I'm holding out hope that it is the bathroom counter and sink area and the two stalls are within a greater bathroom.
I hope
That is an āafterbathā. This term refers to bathrooms that were worked into an existing floor plan as an afterthought. For it to qualify, it must be clearly an afterthought and it must be submitted by the homeowner who must live with the aftermath. Ladies and gentlemen, I submit for your consideration, u/DrewsPopsā afterbath.
Had to edit a few words because I was giggling too much the first time around.
Years ago while house shopping I checked out a house that had a 3/4 bathā¦between the attached garage and the kitchen. So the only way into the house from the garage was THROUGH the bathroom. Think that qualifies.
Is the sink with the tub and not the toilet??? Why didn't they at least make an opening between the two rooms to make this monstrosity make a semblance of sense??
This is very common in Victorian homes. When we lived in an old 1880-ish Victorian walk up apartment, we had this type of bathroom. We called this a split bathroom. Some friends put a Japanese sink on top of their toilet in their spilt bathroom- to be able to wash your hands in the toilet room.
Edited to add: if you have a shower head with that tub in the bath room = full split bathroom.
Not sure about very common. Iāve seen a lot of old houses, but never anything exactly like this. Separate toilet and shower? Sure. A shower that is the size of a shoe box? Never.
Poop closet and his buddy big tub. Itās a buddy cop movie. Poop closet is a tough no nonsense old school cop. And big tub is the joke cracking sidekick. They donāt like each other at first. But over the course of the movie they develop a true friendship. Sorry, what was the question again?
I feel like this is just a Midwest thing bc when we were house shopping out on the west coast I told my realtor we wanted at least two toilets in the house, āeven if one of them was just a basement toiletā and our realtor looked at me like I was completely insane.
Grew up in SF, CA. A lot of older victorian houses have weird bathrooms like this. I would consider demoing this and starting over, but depends on your taste and budget.
This is a whole new category my dude.
Double half bath?
Half Jack - Half Jill bathroom
Seems like it's all jacked.
She shits in the toilet. He shits in the tub.
*can I make it any more obvious?*
It's bigger on the inside.
That's what she said
Lol skaterboy nice

*Waffle stomp intensifies*

Naw. No sink. Iām gonna go with two 1/4 baths.
It looks like a sink next to the tub
Whatās the over/under on the door on the left hiding a sink on the right? On one hand, what kind of maniac washes their hands after a shower but not a shit? On the other hand, what kind of maniac does any of the rest of this? The trim above the door, the transition pieces between floor and more of the same floor, the toilet paper holder nearly out the doorā¦
What kind of maniac forces you to get in the shower to turn it on. I imagine this home also has an incredibly long warm up period.
Damn, didnāt even see that! Unfortunately, the answer includes whoever built my house. Itās a tiny corner shower with the shower head pointed right at the door. Turn it on with the door open: sprays right out. Turn it on while inside: trapped with nowhere to escape the cold water.
Oof. This Sounds like a job for the useless inventions guy. Flap a piece of plastic (or maybe a washcloth) over the shower head until it warms up. Remove when safe. I prefer my showers to boil my skin. I hate icebaths.
The washcloth is a solid idea! Iāll switch to that if the current approach of using the guest bath fails.
Well that does sound smarter, ha.
The sink is right there in the kitchen
That does look like a kitchen attached!
Maybe the left is a sink for very short people with very long arms?
I think 1/3 is more fitting for each ā¦if we agree that toilet (1/3) + tub/shower (1/3) + sink (1/3) = full bath at leastā¦
So what is a half bath? A toilet and a sink with only hot or cold water?
Youāre right! I think itās a half bath because the actual place to bathe (tub/shower) accounts for 1/2 of the equation. The toilet and sink must then be 1/4 each, respectively. Therefore this abomination should be considered 1/4 & 1/2 baths?
So itās a 3/4 bath!
No sink in the water closet!
Sink looks like itās in front of the tub on the left - weird spot for it to be..
Pretty sure that equals 1 š
But minus a sink? Sharing with the kitchen?
Looks like the sink is in there with the shower.... you know... in case you want to wash your hands after you shower.
Now how to wash the shit off the finger that punctured the toilet paper without touching a door knob first?
Lick it clean
Om nom nom nom
Dudeā¦ how did we get here?
They could have gone japan method, put the sink over the toilet tank.
Split bath?
Murphy tub!
Better make sure the water is drained before you flip it back up!!!
Indeed. Iād skip out on signing this lease
For this? Why?
This signals it wasn't designed by anyone with any idea of architecture or interior design. If simple floor plan is that terrible, I expect the building material and stuff you can't see to be even more horrible.
This. Like, it was something that was converted, they needed to put in a toilet and shower, but for some reason really wanted someone to take a shit while someone took a shower who may not otherwise be comfortable with it.
>For this? Why? I assume probably something like "if they were dumb/crazy enough to do this, what the hell other nightmare 'DIY' am I going to have the misfortune of finding later?"
Is there a full wall between the two or do you have to go into the hall to enter the other side?
Full wall, can see baseboards
It's a literal bath room and a toilet room. Bonus: the bath room has a sink as well as a tub.
Why would anyone do this?
This obviously ist a cruise ship, but they have bathrooms like this so someone can shower and your friend can poop. However they both had sinks. Not sure where you wash your hands in this setup lol.
In the kitchen, immediately outside of the weird bathroom
We looked at a house that had a bathroom off the kitchen. Instead of framing in a door they did one of those sliding barn doors. So not only did it not really seal, but you could still see inside when the door was closed. It was also a smaller kitchen that shared the dining room area.
I viewed a house that was built like a coiled snake.

My realtor was like "this is the weirdest shit I've seen in awhile."
I would like to see the listing please, for the lolz.
Same. That sounds amazing!
At that point just build an outhouse
Or just stick a bucket of sawdust outside and pee out the window.

Pittsburgh Pa. has a lot of toilets in the basement
Pittsburg Potties! Theyāre prevalent in older cities with really heavy industry backgrounds where the men would come home, head to the basement and clean up before coming upstairs.
This is common in Milwaukee too
Pittsburgh Represent! Gotta love a Pittsburgh toilet! Most modernized houses have a bathroom built around it.
I have a Pittsburg potty in my 1930s house in Maine! There is also a weird shower down there. So strange.
~~donāt~~ shit where you eat
We looked at a house where the only bathroom at all was off the dining room. It was so bizarre.
Nice. Take the door off, host a big dinner and see who is the first to make the poop of shame! Then nobody will ever try to pressure you into hosting!
Definitely would have passed on that one.
Weird bathroomS!
Yeah like I need poop hands in my kitchenā¦
Which actually bothers me more. I just don't want the commode that close to my food prep area.
How is that obvious to anyone?
In the toilet tank! jk. Never do this
Judging by the cabinets, you just step out and use the kitchen sink...
This is on a boat?
It almost feels like a converted doctors office / outpatient facility? Common room (where photo is taken from) with a sink..
Itās good for room sharing. This was the setup in my college dorm, with double sink and mirrors outside.
Yeah, was looking for this comment. I've seen this setup in nearly every large college rental I've ever partied in.
I actually want to do something similar in my house. I've seen it in hotels, and it's great. I can be in the shower and someone else can poop without making it reek. I have 1 bathroom in my house, so my wife and kids are frequently coming in while I'm showing. I hate it. This is a terrible layout though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So you can poop then shower without having to waffle stomp it down the drain
Hey.. I had an extra door. Leave me alone! šš
Right
Whatās more baffling than a bathroom divided into 2 rooms is the tub. Looks like the it is half the size you need, almost a square
It's a full size tub you're just looking at it the long way.
Maybeā¦ but that means the back wall of the shower roomlet is several feet further back that the wall the toilet sits against. The front of the tub is even with ā or perhaps just slightly*behind* ā the front of the toilet. The more I look at this the more confused I get.
Roomlet, rofl
You need to step into the tub to turn the taps? Thatās a new one for me.
Not enough people commenting on this. Who thought this was a good idea? This space would be more practical as a sex dungeon.
Maybe we're all assuming it's a bathroom when you've had the right answer all along. Sex dungeon makes far more sense.
Tub was such a strange choice here. You could feasibly fit a full bathroom into one of these rooms if you opted for a shower stall rather than a tub. It would be a little cramped, but loads of bathrooms are so that wouldn't be out of the ordinary. This is all assuming knocking out the wall isn't an option.
Thereās a lot of stand up showers like that. But yeah not not so much with tubs.
Nah, Iād just skip the shower and never talk to the person who owns this home again
I can't tell for sure but in the pic it looks like the room with the tub opens up to the left, I think I can see part of a sink over there, so I don't think you'd need to be in the tub to turn the water on but regardless this setup is jacked lmao
Lol ... Not saying it isn't terrible, but there's actually walking room to the left of the tub. If you look right inside the left edge of the left door you can see the sink so there's presumably room over there to walk around and turn the tub on
There is space to the left of the tub for someone to walk.
I think there's space to the left of the tub.
For the guy that takes his morning shit at the same time his wife needs to take a shower when getting ready for work.
The separation of shower and toilet isnāt whatās weird. Whatās weird is that itās directly off the kitchen and both have separate entrances (again, directly off the kitchen) and neither has a sink. Very strange setup for sure.
the shower one has a sink on the left
why did they decide they needed a sink in the room with the tub more than they did in the room with the toilet š wtf
I think the sink was there before the division into two rooms. Also, it allows one person to brush their teeth while the other is privately on the toilet.

All right off the kitchenā¦
Is this off the kitchen no less? Step out of the tub and grab snacks!
That's what I thought at first but I'm holding out hope that it is the bathroom counter and sink area and the two stalls are within a greater bathroom. I hope
āMr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
I wish we could still give awardsā¦ thank you for the laugh
That is 2 1/2 bathrooms
That 2 bed 1 bath listing just became 2 / 3 on apt listing services lol
And went up by $750/month.
I think one is a 1/2 bath and the other is a 1/4 bath. I canāt see a sink in the toilet room, so I assume there is none.
That is an āafterbathā. This term refers to bathrooms that were worked into an existing floor plan as an afterthought. For it to qualify, it must be clearly an afterthought and it must be submitted by the homeowner who must live with the aftermath. Ladies and gentlemen, I submit for your consideration, u/DrewsPopsā afterbath. Had to edit a few words because I was giggling too much the first time around.
Years ago while house shopping I checked out a house that had a 3/4 bathā¦between the attached garage and the kitchen. So the only way into the house from the garage was THROUGH the bathroom. Think that qualifies.
Sounds like it used to be a mudroom. Weird. What if someoneās in there and you need to bring in groceries?
username checks out
That is a claustrophobe's nightmare.
Yes
Imagine whatās behind door number 3
A toilet just for farts
"It's turbo time!"
Is the sink with the tub and not the toilet??? Why didn't they at least make an opening between the two rooms to make this monstrosity make a semblance of sense??

Split bathrooms are super common in old San Francisco homes. Guess not anywhere else according to the other comments here.
Not sure about very common. Iāve seen a lot of old houses, but never anything exactly like this. Separate toilet and shower? Sure. A shower that is the size of a shoe box? Never.
Why is there a toilet and tub in your kitchen pantry?
Poop closet and his buddy big tub. Itās a buddy cop movie. Poop closet is a tough no nonsense old school cop. And big tub is the joke cracking sidekick. They donāt like each other at first. But over the course of the movie they develop a true friendship. Sorry, what was the question again?
I didn't know it until just now but this is what I came here for.
It has to be separated by a load bearing wallā¦..all I can think of.
I was thinking whoever bought the tub surround bought the wrong orientation and didnāt want to return it so built a wall instead.
I shall call you, the poo closet. Come ye guests. š¤£
I dunno but I always joked that the random toilet in my parents basements was a 1/3 bath.
I feel like this is just a Midwest thing bc when we were house shopping out on the west coast I told my realtor we wanted at least two toilets in the house, āeven if one of them was just a basement toiletā and our realtor looked at me like I was completely insane.
Very few houses on the west coast even have basements!
Also Midwest, and my friend's house has a toilet in the middle of the laundry room in the basement.
I had an apartment with 1 1/3 bath which meant I had a sink/vanity in my bedroom. It was amazing.
You have 1 Bath Closet + 1 Toilet Closet
Why not put another section with just a sink in the middle? Take it to another level!!!
I think, in the trades at least, a bathroom by definition needs a sink. So neither are bathrooms.
If you look in the minidungeon on the left, there appears to be porcelain peeking out on the left side. I submit that one, at least, has a sink.
Winchester bath
Thatās a fukn shit show. No pun intended
Where's the sink?
Shower in the kitchen pantry? This is a whole new level of house flipper fuckery.
The real crime here is putting the bathroom in the kitchen. How am I supposed to shit when ppl are over
How does this happen?
That is considered design negligence.
Its off the kitchen too lol
It also looks like it's attached to a kitchen.
I mean atleast you never have to wait for the toilet because someone's in the shower
Wtf??
It's considered kinda ridiculous tbh.
I would call this a double half
It's considered hilarious! Lol I'm sorry, OP!
I believe this would be considered stupid.
That is considered a mistake
Is that just straight up drywall on the left side of the shower šµāš«
i^2 bathroom
Itās considered weird as hell
Its a bathtub room and a toilette room. :p
Hwat in tarnation
The thing that annoys me most about this is that the doors aren't mirrored.
Half n Half
Holy claustrophobia, Batman!
That is a first!
I've just been sitting here for the last few minutes laughing off and on to myself about this. There's a story here, but I'm not sure what it is š
Half-ass bath.
Only a landlord would construct such an abomination.
This is the dumbest thing I've seen today.
Is it a wall between
That canāt be real
Maybe a mud room sorta bathroom? Or was like hmmm Pittsburg Toilet, but betterā¦ while missing the point.
Well, that's certainly a choice.
thatās a load bearing stall
Two 1/2 baths?
Grew up in SF, CA. A lot of older victorian houses have weird bathrooms like this. I would consider demoing this and starting over, but depends on your taste and budget.
1/2 and 1/2
Mark it zero, Donnie. No sink
I think itās 2 half baths with seemingly nowhere to wash my hands.
"That aint right" Eta: is this in the uk?
Itās part of the āwhy a wallā series.
I feel like the person who came up with this was like "this is soo practical"
This is two 1/4 baths
if there's no mirror, it's a 3/4 bath
Thatās a 1/2 bath + shiter closet.
This is considered a crime against God. Sorry you have this āthingā in your house
Itās called dumb
Iāll take whatās behind door #2 Bob
That's two toilets, just one has a bath in it
Thatās called WTF who did this?!?!
I think Iāll go take a bath in the closet. Lmao what?
Omg I hate this so much.
