    Either a previous owner had a bad experience where they got halfway up the stairs before they couldn’t hold it any more and said, “never again”; or it’s a house split into multiple flats and there’s literally nowhere else to put it for this particular flat.

      I prefer the didn’t make it theory. “Damnit honey I’ve shat my pants on that landing 4 times now. I’m putting in a shitter and IDGAF what anyone says.”

    There’s so much wrong with this… even beyond the obvious, they tiled the wall with exactly 6 tiles just around the sink. The sink is blocked by the shelf so you can’t use it from the front. And (it’s very blurry so I’m not sure) there seems to be some sort of sign stuck above the sink?

    Probably is actually a “crime” for most building codes. International Residential Code for example states that “a minimum distance of 15” is required from the centerline of a toilet to any bath fixture, wall, or other obstacle"

      In the UK “toilets under the stairs” are quite common, both my childhood houses had one. They’re converted from old school larders so they’re tiny, and I’m sure neither had a 15” gap before the sink.

    Hallway/stairway toilet, sure. Odd AF. But like, why two watering cans in one location? Is that also the only sink? Would I have to wash my dishes there as well?
