This and I'm no plumber, but I'd imagine this would unnecessarily complicate the piping setup.

Edit: My notifications are full of so many conflicting answers lmao

u/aurumtt 13h ago

i don't think the piping will make much difference in cost when it's newly installed. the panels totally would though. these badboys are deceptively expensive.

u/Any_Contract_1016 12h ago

That's why they cut costs by eliminating the bottom six inches.

u/camel_case_user 12h ago

And the half inch around the door so everyone can see you poop

It's why I always carry sparklers and a t-shirt gun with me at all times.

u/Chrisscott25 12h ago

Yes! Nothing like lighting a sparkler and doing the sprinkler for an eager audience…

u/jervin22000 11h ago

If I’m taking a shit I ain’t lighting anything in the same room.

What, you don't want to do an accidental terrorism!? Coward

u/jervin22000 11h ago

If I’m going to do a terrorism it’s going to be on-purpose and not pantless. Besides I spent a lot of time growing the hair back there I’m not in a hurry to singe it.

Please tell me the t-shirt gun isn't for launching t-shirts!

u/MagnumMyth 12h ago

He's not just waving the sparklers around with his hands...

u/Chimpbot 12h ago

Let's just say that it can be used to launch a variety of objects and materials.

I’ve always wanted one for launching suction cup jelly dongs at people who drive like dicks so they have something to go fuck themselves with.

I appreciate that you elaborated with this second comment, because after reading your first comment my immediate thought was How?"

Youre the guy that shot that tee to me!! Thanks again.

u/The_Troyminator 55m ago

Just don’t mix up the t shirt gun and toilet.

THATS why you carry yours?! I keep mine incase the toilet doesn’t flush…. Shit really hits the fan then….

Do you know the ROI on installing cameras into the stalls? Asking for a friend.

Everyone knows that when someone watches you poop, you lock eyes with them as a show of dominance.

Hey I don’t make the rules

That's what the thing that, for legal purposes, I have to call a "T-Shirt Gun" is for.

Bonus points if you can get all 4 walls covered, and a fancy design on the floor.

u/SavageTrireaper 11h ago

That’s a Schrödinger’s box of Bathroom usage. The stall is empty until you look through the crack and make eye contact with someone pooping and collapse the waveform.

1

u/MrBootylove 10h ago

That's actually the plot of Dark Matter. A scientist travels to other dimensions by achieving superposition while taking a fat dump at work.

u/Forbden_Gratificatn 6h ago

Schrodinger's shitbox. You dont know if deadly gas has been released until you know if someone is in there.

u/less_accurate 11h ago

That is one weird US thing. Having a large gap at the bottom and then a smaller gap everywhere else. I am getting anxiety attacks just by thinking about it

2

u/ReliefNo1362 7h ago

In China, some places get the half wall that comes up to your waist so you can make eye contact with people before you squat in the squatty potty. So like....anything is better than that.

1

u/UntidyVenus 4h ago

For toddlers to crawl under and scare the poop out of you.

1

u/HoOkAySo 3h ago

That “weird US thing” is actually the ADA. The gap provides toe clearance for wheelchair users while still keeping the stall size small.

1

u/bshr49 2h ago

I thought toe clearance is just for forward approach. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ADA clearance circle impede stall walls.

u/fenrsulfr 11h ago

When I notice someone watching I just start to jerk harder.

u/Apart_Debate_6515 9h ago

Absolutely not. I've been a contractor for a long time, and I've learned a lot about threatening architects with the consequences of their own actions

u/Pension_Pale 11h ago

You know what? Forget the stalls altogether!

u/Apart_Debate_6515 10h ago

It's poop with a buddy day! Look at all that saved money

u/Pindogger 2h ago

I worked at a Mexican auto plant for a short period. There were no doors on the stalls. If you desired a modicum of privacy, you carried a newspaper and held it up like a barrier.

u/lowteq 12h ago

The eye lock through the gap is so creepy.

17

u/Repulsive-Basket7435 11h ago

Grunt louder and maintain eye contact to show superiority

u/QuipCrafter9 12h ago

Peeking through there in the men’s room is a great way to get your ass kicked where there are no cameras and a lot of hard surfaces. I mean “slip and fall”

2

u/MrBootylove 10h ago

I'm sure the peeping tom will patiently wait for their attacker to wipe their ass and pull their pants up.

2

u/PressureItchy9372 9h ago

brave of you to assume that all guys wipe their butts.

1

u/Gwynito 6h ago

How do they not? Wouldn't your ass rash up like crazy if you didn't?

1

u/PressureItchy9372 2h ago

oh, don't ask me. I'm firmly in the "bidet til clean, then blot dry with T.P." club. No skidmarks for me please.

2

u/QuipCrafter9 9h ago edited 5h ago

I’ll wipe my ass with him, my weighty dingus flopping in the breeze and all

Jk I’d probably invite them in very loudly and animated, to draw attention to their behavior and make them feel rediculous

5

u/Vassar-Longfellow 10h ago

Only in the US though. In many places in Europe the doors are all the way down. Which is nice since many are unisex.

0

u/HoOkAySo 3h ago

Europe doesn’t have ADA, which specifies the bottom gap for toe clearance (wheelchair accessibility).

3

u/lankyleper 11h ago

We have 2 stalls at work. 1 has a strip that covers that gap on the non-hinge side. The other has no strip and is oriented at the precise longitude of your anatomical confluence. The icing on the cake is that it's right across from the mirror/sinks. Great setup for someone to inadvertently view your groin-al region!

1

u/Boring-Persimmon6739 12h ago

watch if you dare!

1

u/Little-Staff-1076 12h ago

I like to imagine that when buying these poop shack walls and doors that they sell a standard stall with reasonable tolerances. Then there’s a drop down menu for “viewing slits” that every single retail store is selecting when buying their setups. Gotta have that eye contact with customers when you’re cleaning the bathroom and someone is dropping a log.

1

u/Short_Ad_8635 12h ago

So, glory holes are just to save material and costs?

1

u/Not_an_okama 11h ago

Thats to make construction as cheap as possible. Much easier to mount in a 1/4 gap than 1/16" gap

1

u/MrGumburcules 11h ago

That's just for team building

u/Shankar_0 11h ago

Apparently that's a very common thing in America, baffling. Glad my country has better public bathroom regulations.

Or just remove the dividers altogether. Will save a ton of money!

Thats a small glory hole. Wide dicks are too much of a liability.

u/UsedDragon 10h ago

all of these things are features that are designed to assist you with sharing, and that means caring.

u/Killjoycmdrkj 9h ago

Jokes on them I poop facing the flusher for this reason! :D

1

u/NoBonus6969 8h ago

Plus now the side walls will need a little window so we can watch them poop while we pee. Ladies don't understand

1

u/Critical-End6308 7h ago

I went to Germany and the stalls went to the floor and no gaps anywhere. It is possible.

1

u/HoOkAySo 3h ago

Legally, in the US the stalls would have to double in size in order to eliminate the bottom gaps. The gap provides toe clearance for wheelchair footrests.

1

u/ididntunderstandyou 7h ago

Only in the Land of the Brave

u/AlGekGenoeg 6h ago

Why do American toilets even still have a door at this point 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/iieeef 6h ago

and sometimes a little circle from the wall

1

u/MuscaMurum 3h ago

How else are people going to know that I have a "wide stance"?

1

u/PoweredbyAndroid 1h ago

And cut out an additional whole on one or both sides of the side walls of the stall. For CoSt CuTtInG measures....

-3

u/One-Ad-4295 12h ago

That half-inch makes it very easy to see if the stall is occupied.

18

u/kzwix 12h ago

It's a US-only thing, though. In civilized countries, we have stalls which close properly, hide you from inquisitive gazes, and people still manage easily to know if a stall is occupied - usually thanks to an ingenious device on the lock indicating whether said lock is open or closed (green or red, "Open" or "Occupied", etc...)

1

u/RogueThneed 12h ago

So the illiterate red-green colorblind people just have to guess? Not very civilized!

1

u/kzwix 12h ago

I agree. They should add a picture of an empty toilet stall, or a gruesome view of something using it, in order to be really universal !

1

u/exploding_pancake 12h ago

They bathroom stalls in USA need to fit very strict regulations to make sure they are accessible for disabled people. It makes a proper fitting door hard to do.

2

u/kzwix 12h ago

Well, we do have toilets for disabled people, too. Wider doors, even wider stalls, usually with a sink and faucet, sometimes a changing table for babies too, and the like.

It's honestly a bad excuse, because it's very easy to cut wood panels to the right dimensions, or to provide doors or such panels from various standard widths.

Also, you don't need them to fit exactly the right size, as long as they can overlap, for instance (usually, the door is INSIDE the cubicle, so if it's wider by a few centimeters (or inches) to the left and right, it's not a problem, as long as the hinges and lock can be used properly. Just like you can see in many pool changing rooms, you know.

Nah, that "gap" probably has other reasons, like allowing a manager to sneak a peek to ensure you're not doing drugs, or merely browsing your smartphone, instead of taking a dump... but that's a shitty mindset, honestly.

1

u/HoOkAySo 3h ago

Literally no manager would ever do this and manufacturers certainly wouldn’t add features to facilitate such a thing.

-1

u/One-Ad-4295 12h ago

What if somebody forgets to close the lock?
Why do people in your country want to spy on each other taking a crap, that's gross, the people in my superior country would never do that.

3

u/kzwix 12h ago

It happens, and the person, in that case, is just as visible as she would have been, permanently, through that gap. But just until that person scrambles to close the door (or silently stares you down, daring you to enter anyway - depending on her mood, street cred, etc.)

Maybe the fact that the door is closed and locked should be enough, without having to double-check using a crack in-between the door and the stall ?
