The bit that always bothers me about US toilets is how poor the privacy is. The cubicle door is like 1m high and raised nearly 40cm off the floor, and often poorly fits on the frame. I'm told it's for ease of cleaning but we accomplish that with raising them only 10cm here and extending enough for at least a standing adult.
That's not to say we don't have crappy stalls here, but they seem the norm in the US and the exception at home

Plus Americans don’t know how to act so the doors get broken a lot by people kicking them or swinging on them. At one bank I worked at had this really disgusting overweight guy - he couldn’t fit into a normal stall, and he was too lazy to walk across the floor to the handicap bathroom he could fit in, so he would just wedge in as much as he could and cut loose. No aim, just random salvo fire. Every single day.
