Day 141: Bathroom Issues

[NotAllThere]

The ones in my office have an automatic light on a timer. If, of a winter evening, you forget to press the light switch as you go in, you can be left standing in the dark hoping your aim is still good.

I've been in one which was automatic with no switch at all, and no windows - and the sensors were all outside the cubicles. If you took longer than the designer deemed allowable, you'd find yourself in utter pitch black.

Always wondered why in the US they feel the need to have a huge gap under the door and then doors that have a massive gap by the hinges so you can see through them.

There needs to be a huge gap otherwise you might get stuck....

Possibly it's to discourage using the cubicles for drug abuse purposes.

You're on the ball with that one. I remember being in a club in the good old US of A and popped along to the toilets. A large room with a trough all around for peeing and one of Thomas Crapper's finest right in the middle, open to all. Apparently in clubs and universities, this is the done thing, to stop people taking drugs (and if YouPorn is to go by, shagging.)

I got flushed in an stainless steel autoloo thing when I'd failed to lock the door properly.

It caused much merriment amongst the waiting toilet goers.

UV lights is another trick. Apparently you can't easily find a vein.

The smart druggie would draw along their veins with UV pen.

Issue 2) The stalls are partitioned in such a way that people outside can see yer cacks round yer ankles. And, of course, you can hear your neighbours' activity as well as them being able to hear yours. I don't like that.

I don't like this either. I've only worked in a couple of places with cubicles like that and it put me off of using them. I'm a fairly private person so don't like the idea of people being able to listen in, and it's just disgusting when some lard-arse gets in the next cubicle and starts loudly dumping/farting without a care in the world. Not only do you get to hear what they're doing, you have to smell it too. The last place I was at had 'cubicles' separated by brick walls - that's the way it should be!
