      So trans women can be discovered, I suppose.

      (Edit: immediately after posting this, it’s prolly way too dark but I’m leaving it there. Also it me, a trans woman terrified of using the stall for this exact reason.)

        Occasionally I hear people argue it's so you can catch IV drug users without bursting in. Personally I think it's that capitalism cares not for your happiness and it's fractionally cheaper to have shitty doors, and so that's what people do

            I know everyone hates the gaps but like… I don’t care if you look at me using the bathroom, you might see my thigh, who cares? Also, you’re the creep looking, I’m not doing anything wrong, I’ve got zero reason to feel bad or weird about this interaction. We all go to the bathroom can we just stop being weird about it already?

                I assume it's because it's cheap infrastructure.

                  Eventually, enshittification will hit public restrooms hard and we won't even have dividers at all. Just a single, giant hole in the floor everyone is expected to pee and shit into while a bank of CCTV cameras watches every angle of the room.

                    Let’s not forget the people who attempt to open the stall, notice that it is indeed locked, then proceed to knock on the door

                        I've heard every excuse, from making sure people aren't doing drugs, jerking off, or having sex in there. The assumption being that if people are given total privacy they'll be up to "no good" in the bathroom stall. I don't know if any of that is true, but I once went to the men's room at a big-city library, and discovered the stall walls were only 4 feet tall. (If that was meant to prevent drug use it wasn't working, there were a couple dudes in there doing the fenty lean, but I didn't see anybody fucking, at least.)

                            I’ve always believed that the whole stall concept was developed by some kind of pervert.

                            I mean, even when they grant proper visual privacy, that’s just one of our five senses. You can still hear and smell what’s going on next door - and I swear in some cases just about taste it.

                            To me, “privacy” means all senses.

                            Not to mention having weirdos peek over the top of the stall, which has happened.

                              A combination of saving money and keeping people out of the bathroom.

                                Eventually? My high school didn't have dividers and that was 30+ years ago. I feel like dividers are a product of the satanic/ homosexual panic.

                                  I know of one rest stop that offers stalls with doors, but half of the door is removed so that they can see if someone is partaking of questionable substances in there.

                                  I have heard of several, but that's the only one I've seen myself.

                                    It seems like folks are either fine with shitting in the streets or can't handle being seen.

                                      I've seen signs for the truck stop showers saying only 1 person is allowed in a shower stall at a time that are clearly only there because dudes be fuckin' in there.

                                        It's an invasion of people's privacy when they feel most vulnerable. It's no mystery why folk find it upsetting.

                                          The stalls at my work have zero gaps whatsoever and the door/walls (which are made of wood) go almost to the floor. There's fairly high quality locking handles that indicate whether or not it's occupied. It's amazing and I don't know of any other public restroom in my area like it.
