    As an American, experiencing European toilet stalls was one of the first tangible experiences where I was like “woah we are definitely doing it wrong”. Thanks, uh…Europe.

    Hold up.. you mean to tell me that there were stalls available for pooping even though as an American I've been taught my whole life that those gaps exist so people don't do sex in them?!!?!?

      Except for the ones where you have to pay, I can do without that.

        I am, of course, an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton in a European bathroom.

          If it means I'm getting a clean toilet, I'd rather pay a Euro for that

            I remember some pretty nasty pay toilets in Germany, but it of course varies.

              I think it's because bathrooms are cost, and so they got enshitified early to discourage costumers from using them.

              But where are the costumers supposed to change costume if not in a stall?

                Even worse are the urinals without dividers.

                  The only reasonable reason I've heard is it makes it easier to clean/prevent mold growth. Like y'all don't need to worry about drug users at the office.

                    A duodecimal system would have been so much nicer.

                    I think that's the Dewey decimal system, which inspired the Chewy decimal system, which is the next innovation in grocery store layouts.

                          It's never an either/or situation. Like, what, that Euro pays for someone to rush in after every use? Or is it a meaningless transaction meant to cause difficulty.

                            Going to Tokyo and every toilet being a sing-along butt rinser made me realized western toilets are barbaric.

                              I think they just suck at carpentry, amongst other things. Doors are haaaard.

                              Doors being hard doesn't explain it, since they're not a problem for the rest of the world (which is the vast majority of it).

                                Really? That's what I'd expect even in a run-down public toilet in a train station over here in Austria.

                                  2. So they can be sure you're not secksing or drugging

                                      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.

                                      I've worked a couple places where the stalls were like that. There are fixtures they can add to the gaps to cut them off.

                                      Also, places that have all-gender group restrooms typically install gapless stalls because of obvious reasons.

                                          Depends. What takes up a stall for longer, a good fuck or a good shit?

                                          A good fuck should last much longer than a good shit...
