I have never understood why North American bathroom stalls don’t just go to the floor. Jesus Christ how much would it really cost to enable some damn privacy.

- stock_toaster 8y agoI always assumed it was to make it easier to mop/clean.
- ascorbic 8y agoThe rest of the planet mostly does ok.
- stock_toaster 8y agoBut maybe it is a ... wait for it... moptimization!
- pnutjam 8y agoBlame the people who spend all their time worrying about what your doing in private.
- thieving_magpie 8y agoI'm torn on this one. One the one hand I would love that extra privacy. On the other, I really value knowing if someone is in the stall next to me and how many people are in the bathroom. If the stalls extend to the ground how am I supposed to scan for legs? Someone could be hiding in there waiting to frighten me! I cannot use the bathroom until everyone has left it. Just how am I supposed to verify that some quick-footed coworker hasn't made their way in during someone's loud flush? I cannot stomach this game of chance.

- rhoursour 8y agoHow do you use the bathroom on a plane?
- thieving_magpie 8y agoI don't use the bathroom on a plane. I'm at a young enough age that holding it isn't too complicated. Though it has been some time since I did a 6+ hour flight.
- culturestate 8y ago> how am I supposed to verify that some quick-footed coworker hasn't made their way in during someone's loud flush Most places with full-coverage stall doors also have occupancy indicators on the outside - if you go in and lock the door, it changes from green to red.
- thieving_magpie 8y agoI'm going to need an internal panel indicating the occupation of each stall.
