Whats the deal with those huge gaps in american toilet stalls ?

that awkward eye contact with strangers when you do more then just pee...

Ew, we don't have those. I wouldnt go

ever been to russia ? they have no doors at all there... only the side walls and you have a friend standing like in front of you to give you some cover

fart outlets

the ones in the buildings i have my classes in are even bigger than that. i'll either take the very last stall so that no one passes by or i'll just hold it.

Yep. One time as I was doing my business, someones kid watched me. Pissed me off. So now if I need to go, I'll wait until I get home or go in the woods.🌲

I think the gap above the floor is to make it easier for the janitors? And maybe to hand a roll underneath to the person next to you if they run out, hahaha.

But the door gap... shitty building for sure. Possibly intentional on the part of a pervy engineer who probably has an account here.

For voyeurs to peek.

After a long life of encountering such things, I don't even notice. And I'm shy.

They are designed to be installed anywhere... and to obscure the gaze , not be an air tight enclosure

because the stalls and hardware are made in China...

Yeah, I hate this, once you've used public toilets in Europe it's hard to go back.

I hate those stalls. If I have to use one I only take the last one

honestly i dont mind its no big secret what you do in there

I know right? such poor engineering
