When We Focus on the Wrong Things Think Retro Tuck Stop Trough

Sometimes the cool thing is not so cool. Someone somewhere decided the cool thing to do would be put a truck stop retro trough in a bar bathroom. Hipsters have a tendency to try to turn something vintage into something really cool. Example converting a garage shop into a coffee place.


Hipster conversion is just an annoying exercise in self coolness at times.
No a trough is ever going to be cool!
But some have decided they want to turn a bathroom into a retro truck stop experience. There is never a time standing by a bunch of dudes with no elbow space I have said this is is a comfortable place to urinate in. or why don’t they bring back the trough?

Why a trough is necessary is beyond me. Is there a practical reason to save money. It sure doesn’t save space.


Some things will never be cool no matter how vintage they think it is.
Once everybody gets into it it is no longer cool again anyway.

Not everything needs to be reintroduced and tried too make cool.

There has not been one time where I longed for the truck retro stop trough.

Shouldn’t we be focusing on true creativity with a purpose?

Couldn’t we concentrate on something of value, instead of a gimmick of self importance inner circle coolness.

First choice for me would be a urinal with my own space. Before a trough, I will take the stall any day.

Do we really need to spend time on this? Do we need a communal urinal?

When we focus on the right things we end up with an unforgettable story of a lifetime.
