Fearless

American public toilets, you might as well leave the door open, you have the privacy of a crop top

Suspicious magnifying glass placement

Suspicious that you noticed it
- People are simply primed to look for the trouser cat in these sorta pictures.

Is there any reasons you guys there over the atlantic prefer those creepy gaps under the stall doors / walls?

Puratins hate anyone having privacy with their own body
- Those puritans should have some bodily privacy known as fucking themselves.
We all hate them. Please help.
- Indeed.
  Sometimes my back gets wet sliding under them.
We don’t prefer them. The people that own the buildings do because they are cheaper.
- They do it because of moral panic about same sex, sex and drug use
- because they are cheaper
  Not to give some rich idiot an idea, but so are no locks, no doors, no walls.
- I think maybe it also makes it easier for the cleaners/security to see if there's someone hiding in the stall at closing time.
One of our airports had a large mixed-gender bathroom with fully-private stalls and it was the best public bathroom I’ve ever used, I assume to appeal to the international crowd.
- Amazingly, McDonald's has pretty consistently provided the best public restroom experience for me. They're almost always clean and usually provide either a private room or at least a fully protected stall. Wal-Mart would be second best (in terms of consistent acceptability across locations). Though Wal-Mart toilet paper often has little embedded specks that make me uncomfortable (observed before use, not after).
No one prefers them
Users of bathrooms don't prefer them. Bathroom owners do. Privacy would allow people to feel comfortable, which is the last thing the bathroom owners want.
I've seen one interpretation of our fire code result in each enclosed stall requiring their own flashing light and siren. So the expense to build really does add up. Every contractor knows how to do it the cheap way, anything else they charge a much higher rate to make it worth the trouble. Maybe some shit related to sex or drug use in bathrooms as well, I'd imagine the more secure it feels the more likely someone might see that as a safe thing to try, not saying that's a real thing but shit gets talked about on the news enough for it to be something the decision maker has in their head to be influenced one way.
I didn't realize how much of a difference it made till I got my new job where the restrooms don't have any gaps. Never felt more secure in a public restroom.
The gaps on the bottom and the top serve the important purpose of ventilation. It's a really effective design allowing vertical airflow. So yes, I do prefer air gaps over stinky boxes, and I have personally never seen a creep sticking their head under the gap.
No, none of us do. Well, probably a small amount of us do, but they would be the exception that proves the rule.
Where I'm from doesn't have the gaps, but they could be useful if the door jams.

The wide stance tho' 🫣

- Who does number two work for?!

Very smooth legs.

Four jobs ago, I worked at a location that had generally inadequate bathroom stalls. One of them entirely lacked the lock on the stall throughout my entire tenure there, meaning that sometimes taking this (metaphorical) position wasn't optional. Everyone avoided that stall when possible, but there weren't always other choices.

Fortunately it was a smaller stall, unlike the one pictured, so taller people could brace the door manually, but not everyone had the endurance or reach for that. In fact I once, in a moment of desperation, was convinced no one was in there and burst into it to the mutual surprise of the unexpected occupant and myself. (Totally my fault.)

Leaning into the stall to close the door for their subsequent privacy was one of the more awkward experiences of my life.

You should have stood there, staring them in the eyes. Waiting.
- In this case, I was the intruder. Had I been the one who was interrupted, I might have considered that strategy.

Fearless… or extrovert?

Or faulty latch, and door opened while seated…
Seems like a good day to make bathroom friends

Nice apartment! I see you even hot parking space. And how's the rent?

How big are the stalls in the US? That looks absolutely massive compared to any I've seen here.

Stalls of this size are meant for wheelchair users to be able to maneuver their chairs and get on and off of them.
If there are multiple stalls usually only one of them will be this size. If there is only one then it will be like this.
- Not to brag but I used to work in an office that had TWO of these bad boys.
- Makes sense. I've only seen accessibility toilets be dedicated rooms, and without a stall since they usually aren't big enough anyway.
Its probably just a single-person restroom.
There's been a trend to put those walls around the toilet in those restrooms, despite that you'd be the only one in there.

"I don't care Anymore"

Takes a bizarre, tantamount to assault picture, posts it for validation

I'm assuming it was taken with sufficient care that no one else would walk in for the purpose of this joke. Maybe someone was working late and they were the only one left at the office, or something similar.
I'm going to assume this is a solo bathroom with a lock on the actual bathroom door.
- Doesn't make it any less bizarre

Make sure you're friendly and provide a warm greeting to anyone who enters after you

Just keep the volume up and we're cool

Waiting for a John?
