Yes but how will I pass stuff under it? Or prank the guy next to me? Or find out what co-workers panties look like?
Interesting, but in the US, they actually have toilets in them.
How the hell am I supposed to watch?
Those marble walls must amplify farts to the level of fearsome thunder cracks
Laughs while dropping a deuce at a Buc-ee’s…
It’s a poop vault.
Everyone in the u.s. knows that awkward moment when you make eye contact with the other person in the bathroom. Our stall gaps are outrageous.
Yes, but how do you make awkward eye contact with someone looking for an open stall?
Aww you mean an unaccompanied 4 year old can’t randomly crawl on the floor, enter your stall, stand and just stare at you, mid-shit while you tell them “no! leave! Go! Why God, whyyyy!?”
Yeah, deep down I’m still scarred…
That’s not a toilet stall, that’s a water closet.
More like ur-a-pee-in’
I’ll see myself out
No Peakaboo?
Nearly the Costanzian vision of society
are you sure, it looks like an apartment in Manhattan
Here is the real reason.
Yes the gap filled US partitions are less expensive but the real cost issue is the room.
If you make a small room with a full door, US building code requires a sprinkler head in each “room”, if you have one big bathroom with open stalls/ partitions, you don’t need that.
The plumbing costs for the sprinkler heads will make the cost of project substantially more.
TLDR: money
To European Redditors: this is a normal US prison cell.
In addition to the nice, big door gap… in the U.S. we like our bathrooms as quiet as a library in a graveyard — so you can clearly hear the dude 3 stalls over wiping his ass.
Do Europeans not know they can add 6 inch gaps to each side so you can see inside those stalls? And you can raise the bottom a good 2 feet and see people’s feet and pants pulled down.
Seems like y’all are missing out
