When I first bought my house, I was seriously going to have one installed when I remodeled one of the bathrooms. But then a friend of mine (a girl, of course) said it would "ruin the resale value of the house," because "who wants a urinal in their house?" ME! They save a metric fuck-ton of water...why should I pee in a bowl of water, then flush and refill said bowl of water? Also, it's more socially acceptable than peeing in the sink. I never did install one, and I regretted the decision for many years.
As an aside, my male cat pees in the bathroom sink. I think he just naturally hears the call of porcelain, and I don't give a crap if he does it...cat litter is expensive. A long-distance friend of mine (the same one that said not to install a urinal in my house) said "ewwww!" when I told her that my cat pees in the sink, but she thinks that her dog shitting in random locations on the floor (usually somewhere that it won't be found for days) is normal. What's up with that? I think she's a cat specist.
So, I would absolutely love to have one of the Exhilarator air dryers- there's nothing like it: it's an air dryer that actually completely dries your hands. Mega noisy, but worth it.
I would like the self cleaning features found in European pay toilets... When I leave the bathroom, I want the entire room to be sanitised without me having to do any work. As an alternative, I would settle for this system they had in a restaurant in Switzerland where the toilet seat would clean itself after each use: when you stood up, or when you flushed, the entire seat would spin around into a cleaning apparatus which scrubbed and disinfected it. Not because my toilet seat needs regular scrubbing and disinfecting, but because IT WAS SO COOL TO WATCH! -=C=-
The most obvious option here is missing:
A urinal.
I have a friend with one in his game room bathroom.
I have a friend who has one in his basement bathroom!
@Alien88 stop peeing in the floor drain
And cakes! Urinals gotta have cakes!
That's gross, why would you eat cake out of a urinal?
My friend's house has one in every bathroom and he's the only guy in the household :o
at a local drive-in, they don't have urinals. They have a tiled wall with a trench and drain in the floor. Very odd but effective
I do not understand why people are voting for automatic faucets. I hate those things. They turn off too quickly and never turn on when I want them to.
Those are crappy ones. Good ones stay on while your hands are beneath them'
Plus the temperature is always too hot or too cold.
I want one of those Dyson Air Blades...
They have one in the local Sam's club. I pretend to pee just so I can wash my hands and use it!
The Airblade Tap is pretty cool: http://airblade.dyson.com/hand-dryers/airblade-tap/airblade-tap.aspx
They're a little too narrow. I have fairly large hands, and I don't want to actually touch the sides of the thing - half an inch wider.
@DJP519 I thought I was the only one who thought that!
We have them at work - they are hella noisy, and leave pooled water dripping on the floor...
Need an Air Blade and staff to maintain it!
@capguncowboy It's good to know I'm not the only one who does that.
Where's the option for an automatic flush toilet?
Absolutely, without question, a urinal.

Unless it's foul (drink more water, yo) or you have people coming over, why flush urine every time? That's just silly.
goldenthorn, I always have people coming over. In addition to installing a urinal, I was also planning to install a revolving door.
I have pets that fail to comprehend that any uncovered liquid is not in fact refreshment.
It's only socially unacceptable to pee in the sink if other people see you pee in the sink. I prefer to be alone in the bathroom.

I'm down with OPE, yeah you know me.
Where's the option for High-Pressure Flush Toilet?
I was JUST going to go there. Why can't we have these in our homes anyway?
I live in Boston, and have one in my apartment. Kinda nice, but kinda not so nice with 1AM flushes...
Are those the ones with the pressurized tank in the back that go WHOOSH when you flush 'em? Yeah, those are nice.
If it were an option, I would have picked a janitorial staff. But alas, of the options listed, absolutely the hand dryer.
So, I would absolutely love to have one of the Exhilarator air dryers- there's nothing like it: it's an air dryer that actually completely dries your hands. Mega noisy, but worth it.
I love your name for it, but it's actually the XLerator. http://www.exceldryer.com I love watching the air put temporary dents in my hands!
I do like the Dyson hand driers. Really fast drying. However, they don't work for one's face. In summer heat, I wash hands and face to cool down.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that - that's the other reason they are terrible at my office! They replaced our towel dispensers with 'em. :(
I can't even count the number of times I've been out somewhere and splashed some nice, cool water on my face only to find a damn hand dryer.
are there places with face dryers?

Because
O'hare in Chicago has the cool seat diapers that are automatic...but its Chicago so its gross no matter what!
I could not use that thing just because of the eye at the bottom. Staring up at the bottom.
@editorkid The eye at the bottom?
You don't see it? The white, the iris, the pupil, the eyelid, just under the play arrow. I can't unsee it.
It really doesn't look like an eye to me. Maybe an Angry Birds Eagle Eye?
@editorkid
At home, sure. These have no place in public restrooms though... It's only good for one trip and then it's a 100% used towel. Gross.
Need one of these motorized for drying after bidet
@medz Not exactly... It's not actually a loop - it's a scroll, like a Torah, and when you get to the end, it doesn't loop: you wash it!
I would like automatic flush toilets, as I expect that's the only way I will ever get the guys in the gaming group to flush the damned toilet!.
Who doesn't flush a toilet?
Definitely a urinal. I've seen that as a new option on home design shows lately.
Where's the option for random strangers who feel it necessary to have a conversation with you while doing their business?
If I had a son, we'd already have one of these:
baby urinal
If they make flushable litter boxes, why aren't kid's potties flushable?
An attendant.
Glaring omission: Glory hole attendant.
I would also like an obnoxious stranger in my bathroom talking on their cell phone while I'm on the toilet.
Urinal for hubby preferably with a target in the bottom....
