I'm remodeling both of my bathrooms at once.

The downstairs toilet is functional, but the upstairs bathroom is not. I removed the tank to the toilet, and the tank is on the floor next to me on a tarp here in my upstairs office.

I've been drinking a ton of water the past few hours, and I have to pee really bad. If you think I'm walking all the way downstairs just to pee, and THEN walking upstairs again, well, you're out of your mind.

So my question to you is, as I sit upstairs, where should I pee? The choices are as follows:

1) I have flashlight on my desk. Unscrew the top of the flashlight, take the batteries out, and pee inside my flashlight.

2) Dump out my huge amber pharmacy bottle of boner pills, pee in the bottle, put the cap bag on, and store the boner pills in the Home Depot paper bag sitting behind me.

3) There is a paper towel roll on my desk that only has one half of a paper towel left, which is kind of only half stuck to the cardboard core tube. I could make up a reason to use that last paper towel (like maybe pretend to blow my nose with it), then staple shut one open end of the paper towel core, and also put the last 3 inches of Scotch tape remaining in my dispenser over the stapled end, hoping for a good seal. I would then pee into the open end of the tube. There would really be no way of setting it down upright after that, because the bottom of the tube is all misshapen and distorted because it is all stapled and taped up. Setting it down on a surface would make it tip over, and all of the pee would spill out. My solution would just be to hold it upright in the air, until I decided to go downstairs and empty the tube. Kind of like holding up the Olympic torch, except I wouldn't be running with it, I would be sitting here with a cardboard tube of pee in my left hand, while trying to eat a package of those little orange cheese and peanut butter salty bastard crackers out of the package with my other hand.

I'm having a hard time deciding, so hurry the fuck up with your answer. I have to pee like six race horses, and it's gotten a lot worse in the time it took me to type this long ass question.

put the paper towel roll on your pee machine point it out the window and have at it.


Logic would say that you have to be drinking bottled water, as you have no working sink upstairs. You could pee in that.

I have way to many brothers and sons to have to think about this. I've seen what they are capable of when they have to pee in odd situations.

rubber cove baseboard, which is planned to be installed after the wall painting is done by another contractor, which is 95% complete as I type this. It is only 95% complete because the contractor is now home with the flu.

He had an extensive paint job, because when I looked at the paint line where the old baseboard was, I was able to peel off 5 coats of old paint a square foot at a time. This caused me to panic, and to do some sanding that I should not have done, which then led to an eye injury, which then necessitated me to call in a drywall contractor to skim coat the walls before I could even think about getting the painter in there.

In other words, I spoke much too soon when I said the job was complete in the referenced link.
