A toilet door is a basic no brainer. Unless you want any others to watch or - if travelling alone - you want your bedroom area to smell the same as your freshly shat-in toilet...
But then hotel do dumb things like fully enclose a barfridge in a cupboard too.
- refulgentis 11mo agoI hate to say it, but lowkey airflow is not stopped by doors.
- darth_avocado 11mo agoThere’s a big difference between a ocasional whiff and a massive stinker.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoIf it smells that bad something is wrong with your diet.
- z500 11mo agoIt's half dead bacteria, it's not supposed to smell like a bed of roses.
- toast0 11mo agoTravel messes with a lot of people's systems.
- darth_avocado 11mo agoThat’s not remotely true. There are plenty of health conditions that affect this. Alcohol consumption can affect it. Completely normal diets with specific foods can affect how stinky your poop is. Non standard but healthy diets also can do the same. There’s a lot more to it.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoYou might at least consider it. When I cut most of the processed foods from my diet, that particular bodily function became much less odorous.
- darth_avocado 11mo agoWhile yes to a certain extent cutting some processed food and adjusting your diet may help with it, eating a few boiled eggs would set you back massively. It’s not that straightforward.
- khazhoux 11mo agoI can safely say there’s no person whose shit I want to be smelling, regardless of their diet.
- phyzome 11mo agoI feel like you're not picking up on the central point of "worse is worse than bad".
- moralestapia 11mo agoIt probably is. Door closed + extractor makes gaps have negative pressure, no way anything goes into the room.
- refulgentis 11mo agoExtractor, what I’d call a bathroom fan, fair that effectively stops airflow, I’ll go with “close enough to negative pressure for civvies that they fool themselves” (I.e. ain’t actual negative pressure like a cdc lab) A door stops airflow? No.
- fluoridation 11mo ago>A door stops airflow? No. I mean, it literally does. Put something that smokes in a bathroom, open the window, close the door, and caulk the gaps. See how much smoke phases through the door.
- refulgentis 11mo agoI forgot HN isn’t exactly the demographic that tries this and finds out exactly how well it works. I guess for this demographic, I’d suggest telling your tenants it’s okay to smoke in the bathroom as long as the door is closed and the fan is on.
- nrhrjrjrjtntbt 11mo agoBathroom should have extractor fan. I havent smelt a shit outside of my home bathroom for this reason.
- darth_avocado 11mo agoIt’s also a hygiene issue. Bathrooms are notoriously covered in fecal particles, one of the reason why flushing with the lid up is not a great idea. Having a door at least provides some protection against your bed also being covered in them.
- energy123 11mo agoFungus still everywhere though.
- georgefrowny 11mo agoHotel beds are covered in far worse, a few more floating poo particles coming round the corner from the loo (after all, even if there is a door, it isn't always closed by prior guests, and they may get into bed without washing hands or worse) is the least of your worries.
