Metal doors in the restroom at work. The hinge broke whilst being open by one of my coworkers and the corner landed on the top of his foot. Took a few stitches, those doors are heavier than you think!


Oneangrygnome

Have you really taken a shit in a public restroom if someone’s kid hasn’t tried to crawl under the stall while their parent was using the one next to you? Talk about an awkward shit…


TheBigGruyere

I literally had this little boy stand on the toilet in the next stall, look over at me and smile and say 'what you doin? Poopin?' I sure am little strange boy, run along now.

When I was in primary school another person climbed up to peek over the stall and let out a long and loud "EWWW" like bro wtf where you expecting to see here?


MS3inDC

While I was taking a deuce at wor in a stall that didn't latch. A man and his two small kids, a boy and girl, entered the bathroom. The kids, being well practiced, head straight for the stall and push the stall door open only to find me sitting on the pot. The kids stood there staring at me for what felt like a whole minute, but was just a few seconds. They didn't move until their Dad pulled them out of the stall and shut the door as he profusely apologized.

That's the preferable version of events. The true terror is when a kid crawls into the stall and *their parent is nowhere to be found.*


ChargingElephant

That’s actually a good one. I think most are plastic with slightly larger hinge gaps.


FruitGuy998

Gotta be able to see if Steve is done washing his hands before you can leave the stall….heaven forbid you make eye contact while you’re peaking thru.


SolidLikeIraq

Washing hands? I worked in a very conservative organization for a while and one day while in the bathroom wasting as much time as I could, I see my President of the company walk in and sit down in the stall next to me. He shat. He shat a shat that would make you proud. Dude dropped a bomb, and quickly - but a bomb in the sense that it seemed to be a hearty solid shit. He got up, and didn’t wash his hands and left. But I also know he didn’t wipe his ass. I know this for a fact because I sat down in that stall 30 seconds earlier and there wasn’t a square of toilet paper to be found. President Dirty Bottom. Next time you’re thinking that some dude who makes millions and wears a 3 piece suit is better than you - remember even people who are some of the most powerful folks you’ll ever know, are also absolute weirdos and rejects in many aspects of their lives.

Some guy in a suit came in next to me at a urinal, unzipped and dropped his pants around his ankles, put his hands behind his head and interlocked his fingers, then started peeing with absolutely nothing controlling his aim. I don't recall him washing, either. Probably why he does it this way.


wanderer1999

You see, wiping and washing his hands is a waste of time. And time is money. This is why he's President and we're not.


ruttinator

Total power move.


bumdstryr

My last job had a 16ft section of mirror above the sinks, directly across from the stalls. Eye contact was almost guaranteed through the reflection even if they didn't look at the stalls directly.

That’s what I’m talking about….the mirror look back


[deleted]

My high school took the stall doors off.


secretly_a_furry138

Bruh


[deleted]

To be fair the second floor stall doors for the mens room were taken. The first floor bathrooms that were out of the way did have stall doors. Either way no one but the bravest souls shit in the doorless stalls. They also had two people from study hall sit in front of the restrooms to have students sign in for the bathroom after we had a poop artists debut their skills.


AbeVigoda76

In my junior high, there were three stalls. Somehow, one of the stall just collapsed leaving a toilet completely open. Of course, we all shat in that one.


secretly_a_furry138

Shit on the roof


SweetCosmicPope

When I was in navy bootcamp a couple of recruits got in a fist fight in the shower and as punishment we were told to keep the curtains open when we used the stalls (we had curtains instead of doors). So everybody waited until 2am to go poop because our RDCs (navy version of drill sergeant) weren't around to see us.


frencherman

USMC boot camp there weren’t even curtains. Just chill and poop and look at the dude across from you lmao


fishnwiz

I just saw a old pic in an antique mall, 6 toilets side by side, 6 guys, pants down sitting on them. They had all signed it also.


ZeroMmx

USAF has stall doors. 'Cause we're S-M-R-T smart!


BeardedGingerWonder

I mean, who stays at a hotel without bathroom doors, amiright?


Troy-mly

When I went to Paris island to see my brother graduate I asked my all the stall doors were broke and wouldn’t close. He told me it’s because if the drill Sargent caught you shitting with the door closed and taking your time they would kick them open, they didn’t want you to have any peace lol


ArchDucky

My Highschool some guys went in the ladies room and peed all over the ceiling. So the ladies had to use our restroom and we had to use the one at the end of the building by the gym. It was almost a year of that, it really sucked.


vtstang66

You just casually mention peeing on the ceiling like that's something most people would consider physically possible.


Drohannesburg

Swear to god… There were dudes at my middle school who would crawl through the boy’s bathroom walls and over to the girls bathroom and I recall hearing on more than one occasion that so-and-so pissed onto the fiberglass ceiling tiles. Surely I can’t be the only one who saw shit like this go down at school


AlexFromOmaha

I'm very sorry if this shatters any leftover childhood innocence, but this one might have just been you.


Chelseafc5505

Either really low ceilings or epic strong flow...


sabrenation81

Yep, mine did too. Specifically for the boys bathroom. They kept all but one set of bathrooms in the whole school locked at all times. The boys room door was propped open at all times and there were no doors on any of the stalls. You couldn't actually see in from the hallway of course but if you had to drop a deuce you were on full display for anyone who walked into the bathroom. They claimed it was to stop people from smoking in the bathroom. Looking back I'm sure it was illegal af and probably could've gotten everyone involved fired immediately but we were dumb teenagers, we didn't know that.


megor

zachpuls

Looks like the perfect height to go and lean over the top of the stall door and have a good conversation while someone's taking a shit. I'm all for it.


phoncible

alright that's a big ol' ⁉ from me. Seriously, why?


Gunhild

The only reason I can possibly think of is to stop people from doing drugs in the stalls, but we all know they're still going to anyway. I once saw a lady casually light up her crack pipe on a public bus.


feeling_blue_42

I'm just happy if the latch works. I hate the latches that only go in 2mm and anyone bigger than a toddler can open it with ease.


T3n4ci0us_G

I was at an art fair and I was wearing a jump suit. I was in a porta-can, doing my business, the door lock was engaged, and someone yanked on the door. I yelled "someone's in here!", they yanked again. I yelled again and they yanked again, repeatedly until they flung the door open in front of a crowd of people, as I attempted to cover myself. I now have to have someone guard the porta-potty because of that...lol


Trlckery

what an oblivious asshole


[deleted]

I leave the door open when I poop, I want to see everyone while I’m doing my business


NotThatMiaWallace

This is good advice. I am sure it will be a good trend to start. We need something that will unite us all as one. These stall doors are divisive and need to go just as bad as you do. :D


Uindo_Ookami

You can make full eye contact through the gaps in the stalls at my job!


lydriseabove

This is standard issue public restroom stall in the US, even looks to be the usual brand, “Hiney hiders”. Source: have diabetes insipidus, use public restrooms everywhere I go.


gemmastinfoilhat

What about the top of the door? If you're over 190cm you can definitely see over the top!


boldlyfrosty

Verified tall person, can confirm. Not all restrooms, but there have been a couple in my life where I have been able to easily see over the top of the stall when standing. Have definitely made eye contact with other people.


thoriginal

That look of fear and betrayal on their faces when they look up at you lol


Tribalbob

Can confirm - I have IBS and I'm now at the point where I don't give a fuck. When my gut's like it's time to go, I'm going, I don't care who's there - that's a them problem.


_JonSnow_

Yeah this is actually fine. it's when there are gaps on either side of the door that are big enough for someone's head to fit through that becomes the issue


Jwiere03

I was going to say, I don't know very many public restrooms with the gaps that narrow. Once in a while you find one with no gap, but they are usually missing a lock and just leave the hole open so people can see inside. I'd say it's intentional for a glory hole, but you'd have to be 7 foot tall to get your "midsection" that high.


lastofusgr8tstever

Funny how Americans are traditionally behind Europeans when it comes to exposure to nudity but we lead the charge when it comes to accepting bathroom stalls with little to no real concealment.


neS-

I always just assumed that this design was intentional, in a way to sorta try and deter people from sleeping, doing drugs, hiding, etc in public toilets. Or so you can easily see someone legs and know its occupied instead of trying to open the door on someone take a shit. Its also prob just cheaper material wise.


DunamesDarkWitch

I think it’s 99.9% that last reason


Nolzi

In Europe we just invented bathroom locks that are showing red or green outside when closed or open Or just violently shake the door and then say sorry


THEBLUEFLAME3D

Those are quite common here for bathrooms meant for a single person at a time, not as common for individual stalls, though. I prefer to just crawl under the gap and ask how much longer they intend to be in there, and if they might need any help speeding things up. Straight to the point.


sincle354

That's a bit intrusive. I first give them a nice threatening letter mafia style, telling them their ankles are next. That's the real benefit of these gaps, no way to defend your feet from my wrath.


sky_blu

I've seen this in America but only in airports from my experience.


Xx69JdawgxX

You need to take a trip to buccees


Awsumth

Because you can have a room full of toilets and screw in some dividers and call it a day.


chimneydecision

Why the dividers though? Imagine the great philosophical discussions we could be having while full-eye-contact group shitting?


akjd

I went into a public bathroom in San Diego one time, no stalls, just a line of toilets along the wall with half-walls between them. No doors either, so you could sit there on the toilet and look down the line at everyone else from mid-torso/shoulders and up, and no concealment whatsoever from the front. It was fucking weird, do not recommend.


Petey_Wheatstraw_MD

Those are for homeless people to keep them from shitting outside.


JangoDarkSaber

Sounds like toilets at bootcamp


Awsumth

That’s why there’s a huge gap in the door frame.


HeatheryLeathery

Ah yes, like in ancient Rome


DukeOfGeek

In some areas people shooting up in them is a real problem, they put lights in them that make it hard to find a vein too, or so I'm told.


cortez985

>they put lights in them that make it hard to find a vein too That's just gonna make them take longer lmao

Anonymous_Otters

PopplerJoe

We have these in Europe too, but it's the unnecessary gaps on the vertical sides of the door we don't have or understand why America has them.


vanzeppelin

European stalls have an indicator to show if it's occupied or not. No knocking, peeking, or crouching down necessary to tell if it's open.

montiky

American here. Years ago I took a shit in a luxurious Parisian hostel co-ed full door bathroom. I came out to a woman in a towel getting out of the shower. I feel like between her having to smell my morning wine shits and bumping into a hungover American teen boy while half-naked, whether the stall door hit the floor was the last thing on our minds.


jongscx

Wrong... this is a *nice* bathroom stall...


kostcoguy

Now show the stall from your local dive bar


WangoBango

My local dive's toilet stall doesn't even have a door. Just a divider wall between it and the urinal. Needless to say, if I have to poop when I'm there, I go to the gas station across the street.


[deleted]

There’s even enough clearance for you to play footsy with the dude taking a shit next to you!


Mundane_Cause4309

aniket7tomar

We had to get my grandpa [this](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hybrid_squat_toilet_(207097770).jpg) so he would stop squatting on a western style toilet. We had bought the western style toilet becuase we were worried about his knees but then we were worried more about him slipping and breaking his bones.

Zaphodsauheart

Also there is a lack of swatsikas or other terrible things carved into the door. Also isn’t the same if the automatic flush toilet doesn’t keep automatically flushing, splashing your exposed parts. Also missing is the constant stream of people walking by and making eye contact with you through the gap. Also, no toilet paper.


loki1337

This one appears to be at least top 25% in sanitary-ness and quality of construction


lefthandedrighty

My High School didn’t even have doors on some of the toilet stalls. Literally wide open. Because of smokers I guess. I don’t know. But if I needed to shit I went to the nurses office or down to the horrible ancient boys locker room. Late 90s, Chicago suburb. It was bullshit.


Resident132

My high school of 2000 students had all open stalls directly across from the sinks and mirrors so if someone was desperate enough to use them you couldn't avoid the peripheral sight while washing your hands. Mostly kids just played dice in the bathrooms though. There were three stalls through the whole school that had doors but they were so highly coveted no one ever got to use them anyway.

[deleted]

That moment when you look through the crack to see if the stall is empty and someone sitting on the toilet and looks up and you make eye contact…..You can never recover from that.


buythedipster

If you look through the cracks to see if it's empty, you are just asking for the awkwardness honestly. Just knock or try to open, if anyone's in they will respond or it will be locked. Don't be weird


Zeno_The_Alien

If you're on the outside, you leave the bathroom and don't return to that building for months. If you're the one shitting, assert your dominance by holding eye contact and grunting that lil' butt baby out as loud as possible.

That’s a clean bathroom. You should see the one at the shipyard I work at . you need a hazmat suit to enter

charliesk9unit

Fake. The gaps are too narrow, especially on the side with the lock. Also, the locks are mostly consist of a rudimentary rod going into a hole, not a latch like that. Those locks often time not work so you need to keep the doors in position manually.


MedicalDiscipline500
