I’m not afraid to admit I’ve walked into a few bathrooms that were designed for the opposite sex, on accident.

In this week’s Top Ten list of the taboo kind, we’re talking about dapper urinal designs – some of which feature a waterless system or electronic flush, and are shaped squarely, as a teardrop, with an octagonal look, or as a simple cylinder.
