Public bathrooms are a huge pet peeve of mine, but when you gotta go, you gotta go… Hanging a coat on the hook helps to cover one crack between the door.

It is a nice surprise to find a bathroom with a more private stall. No need for the entire room, or the little kid in the booth next door, knowing what is going on. You are obviously all guys who have never been in the middle of changing a tampon and then have some little kids head peek underneath the stall…NOT fun. LOL

I feel completely the same way as with the huge cracks in between the doors, and also with at the bottom of the stalls.

It’s just so uncomfortable to have a little kid walk in with their parents who are supposed to be watching them and they either crawl underneath your stall or peek through the crack to say hello.

It’s a rare find to actually discover a bathroom where the stalls are completely private.

Plus, it’s just as easy to ball up a wad of toilet paper and throw it over the top as it is to hand it over the bottom.

@complaint999, chicks don’t don’t fart in public “overthere”? What’s more prudish? No cracks in bathroom stalls or women who don’t free-up.

The gaps are both a blessing and a curse. I’ve had a dude kick my foot from the next stall. Fortunately it was a coworker just teasing me and not some footsie perv.

In my hotel, we have lots of marble. Some of the bathrooms are made with black marble floors and partitions. Basically, in these bathrooms the floor is a mirror to the next stall’s crotch.

You also sometimes get the nosy 5 year old kid who likes to stick his entire head underneath the door to look at you taking a stinker.

Not only can you send an emergency sheet or two under the stall, you can also pass the sports section back and forth.

But whatever you do, like DBlock said, don’t talk on your cell phone when you’re in the stall. That’s just rude.

I have to say that one thing about gaps between the doors is that if you run out of toilet paper you can ask the dude beside you to send some over. Any polite American would be happy to oblige. No gaps = no toilet paper in an emergency. Ask yourself if you are willing to just “finish up and stand up” or not.

If we didn’t have cracks in the stalls, or at least partitions that did not go all the way to the floor, it would make it much harder to spot the pervert toe tappers.
