Al I thought this was a reference to the Greenland MP (I think?) I heard on NPR this morning. He was asked if he thinks the US Government is fascist and he said “if you see a piece of wood with hinges on it, you start to ask if its a door” or something like that
In a lot of public stalls in Japan, the outer end of the door is rounded. And the wall it connects to when closed is concaved. So even though there’s a gap to allow the door to open and close freely, there no direct line of sight.
It’s crazy how so many things like this just add up to a shitty life experience in general… Like every single product we use regularly has had its features and design strengths pared down year after year until we’re left with a thing that barely does the things it originally did, and it somehow costs more than ever.
If it’s just one or two things, it’s annoying. But when it’s literally everything, it just makes life shit. Capitalism has ruined this planet.
Peekaboo gaps exist outside the states don’t gaslight our readers. Urinals in Heathrow are just a fucking trough you’re supposed to piss in like you’re at a Red Sox game.
Public restrooms in Britain at least aren’t any more enlightened than those in the States
Yes. I’m very familiar with the both the kind on the floor where you have to stand in someone else’s piss and the kind bolted to the wall. I’ve never seen them as a problem, til the comment I originally replied to.
What, is everybody else suddenly just cool with airing their dicks out together? What’s the deal with this? I’m queer and it even puts me off. I’m not looking for a peek, I just wanna take a leak. In the States we have some privacy, we at least put little dividers up. But I saw that shit all over the UK. London, Midlands, York.
But not normal-ass bathrooms in side-of-the-highway gas stations! When you’re expecting several thousand drunk losers to piss together in harmony, sure. That’s different. But that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about public restrooms meant foe like 3 or 4 urinals that are replaced by a trough for no discernable reason.
You know outside of the US most countries bathrooms stalls actually work / fit / don’t have peekaboo gaps?
Yes, and we’re incredibly envious of it every time it comes up :(

Every time what comes up? Your peekaboo?
Peekapoo*

That sounds like it would cost 5¢ more to manufacture and install. Won’t someone think of the shareholders?

That sounds awesome. Love cool designs like that.

Apologies if you feel I was gaslighting.
I’ve never experienced Heathrow so can’t comment.
I would argue from ‘my’ experience UK bathroom’s seem more enlightened but your own experience may vary.
Haha you’re fine I was being playful
Other than the urinals (and that’s a common thing, just a big trough with no dividers instead of multiple urinals) it’s not that different.
👍
Please tell me they dump huge buckets of ice into the troughs at Heathrow.
At least the door overlaps the gap.
What’s up with a trough?
Like instead of a urinal with dividers between it there’s just a trough

.most US baseball stadiums I’ve been to are using troughs. They are very much present in the US.

“Hey! This guy isn’t peeing, he’s just holding his dick!!” Lol
