Ok, so cost and cleanability might be incentive so have doors like that, but not incentives to make regulations.
Those regulations likely there for "decency and safety". E.g. to discourage people having sex, or to make it more obvious if someone passes out. That is: the regulations really are there to make reduce privacy.
There might be good arguments for reducing privacy, but that is still the proximate goal of the rules.
- jjeaff 9y agoI've heard that they were more to discourage illicit drug use than "indecency".
- bandrami 9y agoI think the end goal is making it harder to do heroin in a bathroom.
- drewmol 9y agoHaha, probably cocaine as well. Some public restrooms seem designed to minimize flat surfaces, private access to clean water, and secluded locations, while others (like in some night clubs) have randomly placed shelves with hard, easily wipeable surfaces, etc.
- nrb 9y agoNot entirely random: you need a place to set your drink while using the restroom.
- booleandilemma 9y agoI can understand this in a public restroom, but why do the bathrooms in my 30-story office building have to be this way?
- irrational 9y agoWho in their right mind would have sex in a public restroom? That's just disgusting. I very much doubt it has anything with reducing privacy.
