Yeah, you don't need the urinal to be under the sink. You can just run a pipe to the urinal...

Yeah, I was a little confused by the choice of meme there, since this is actually a thing. https://www.sinkology.com/product/sinksense-greenflow-toilet-tank-sink/
I've actually seen those (or rather some quite similar to them) in the wild a few times. They're not very convenient to use (because the seat is in the way) even though you can't help but think they're a great idea each time you use them.
I'm not going to bother to research, but I'm sure there must be models where the sink faces the side of the toilet. It'd take up more space, but still less space than a totally separate sink and toilet.

so that when men wash their hands
Do the men in your life not wash their hands? 🤢
Public men's restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.
When I worked fast food, I usually had to fill the men's soap but rarely the women's soap.
This could mean the place had more male traffic, women don't wash their hands as often, or something else. Who knows.
Women bring their own soap.
(This is a joke but also I kind of almost believe it)
(Also this joke if kind of stolen from the game Life Is Strange)
That is one of my favorite games.
women don’t wash their hands as often
I could believe this. Not saying the men's are much better as I'd say they're definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women's restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.
The number of guys who do this in my local arcade bar really pisses me off. We're all touching the same surfaces in there WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS.

Some men don't even wipe their ass. 🤷♂️
Can I downvote you for saying something which, regardless of if it's true or not, definitely should have been left unsaid?
let it crust like a sigma 🔥🗣️
Peel it off like a freshly completed 3D print; crackling noises and all.

From what I've seen in my 30 years of life 90% of men don't wash their hands
Not just the men, but the women and children too!
I found that it depends on the level of education. University: People wash their hands. The logistics center right next door: “What’s a sink?”
I'm borderline obsessive about it personally. Like after bathroom, right before eating, and right after some gardening. And it is fucking disgusting how many dudes I witness in public restrooms walk straight out. I used to call them out, but it's not worth the hassle anymore.
But from a purely subjective pov, never touch another dude's hands because odds are they haven't washed them in days.
I was at a major concert the other day waiting in line for the bathroom. So many men just strolled out of there without even looking at the sink.
i mean i get it. i was cooking at an event and the way i wash up, well, a man there accused me of prepping for surgery. i was only washing three inches above my wrist. gran's an RN so we might have grown up knowing how to clean.
I am a janitor for a college and you'd be appalled at how rarely I have to fill the soap dispensers in both the men's and the women's restrooms, there's a lot of folks who just don't wash their hands in general

That makes way more sense than Riker-maneuvering yourself around these awkward things:
Edit: Riker Maneuver if you're unfamiliar with the term.
I think for those, you go with the butters.
wow he even rikered out of the chairs?
TIL
If anyone is curious it came about because of back problems. Frakes has back issues and it was easier and less painful to do it that way, it got turned in to a character trait.

This person is entirely unaware of the lack of hand washing that takes place in the mens bathroom and I'm so sorry for them
My mom doesn't wash her hands either.
That's why I'm kinda reluctant to go for a hug... eww germs, mom wtf
Honestly my dad wash his hands more often than mom does...
Just an anecdote tho, I wonder what the general population stats are.
I told my mom to wash her hands and she says I'm "OCD"
Ahhhhh wtf this triggers my germophobia so much.
It's genuinely disturbing how many men I've seen not wash their hands.

Can’t you beat the system by pissing directly into the urinal sink and not washing your hands?
Then men would have no reason to leave without washing their hands. Seriously dudes, I'm pleading over here, soap and water.
You think the dudes that don't wash their hands are worried about flushing?
Grey water system.
I see two problem, washing hand need to be long enough to fill at least on reservoir and You hâve yo wash your hand to be efficient. In public space you will fast run put water.
