Oh, I can think of something worse. Leaky 
plumbing. And it's annoying when the faucet is 
leaking into the sink, but a wet floor is *really* a 
bummer, and a ten-fold bummer when the wet floor 
is around the stool, so you have to figure out how to 
keep everything dry. 

Is it *really* that much of a hassle to provide hooks 
so you can hang up your coat?

If I was building a facility, there would not only be 
grab bars behind and beside the stool, but there 
needs to be one above the urinal as well. Different 
kinds of disabilities, you know, and trying to lean 
forward while you are on crutches so you don't get 
your shoes wet is a real bummer.  Grab bars are 
*cheap* and wonderful.

Toilet paper *is* a marketing euphemism. Your 
comment reminds me of the complaint a society 
lady made to Bess Truman about Harry using the 
phrase "horse manure" in a discussion of gardening. 
Bess replied that it had really been hard to the get 
Harry to *start* using the term "manure"
