10 of the Worst Bathroom Design Fails Ever
Your privacy is very important, particularly when you’re at your most vulnerable excreting your bodily waste. Bathroom design goes a long way in ensuring that your privacy is respected and that you are as comfortable as possible.
Unfortunately, not everyone sees things this way. Some just believe the bathroom is a place to let loose without caring who sees. With that, here are the 10 of some of the worst bathroom fails. Not surprisingly, most of these involve just plain bad urinal design.
- This broken privacy screen has made possible some really, awkward situations. But try to be cool about it and don’t take a peek.
- Might as well look ’em dead in the eye and shit like a boss.
- Be a gentleman and never use the urinal in the corner.
- Close enough to fist bump. Just make sure you do that before you wipe.
- Proper urinal etiquette dictates that you should avoid the middle urinal.
- It would be nice to take a piss while you shit right next to me.
- Just try to imagine five guys at once doing number two. Yeesh.
- There was more than enough space for a privacy screen. Like, way more.
- Use the end ones only. And no peeking.
- This is perhaps the only situation where ‘excuse me’ doesn’t apply. So if you’re using the urinal to the left, you’ll be blocking the passage to the urinal on the right. Similarly, if you’re using the urinal on the right, then someone came in after you and started using the one on the left, you’d have to wait a bit until they finished their business. Seriously, who approved this?

The laws ought to be changed so that each and every person in each and every gender has to right to decide whether or not to have privacy, including in the bathroom, therefore, the laws on bathrooms ought to be changed so that each and every place, including public place, is allowed (not required, but allowed) to have both bathrooms with privacy and bathrooms without privacy therefore, I request that all of the following laws be created and passed; I think it would be a good idea if the laws of the City of Greater New York, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of all of the other states of the USA, the laws of all other areas under USA control, and the rest of the world were changed so that (1) each and every person in each and every gender is given the legal right to decide whether or not to have privacy, including in the toilet and in the shower, (2) every public place would be required to have at least a female bathroom with privacy and a male bathroom with privacy, and (3) each and every public place that has these aforementioned bathrooms would be allowed (not required, but allowed) to also have other types of bathrooms, including but not limited to a mixed-gender bathroom with privacy and a mixed-gender bathroom without privacy in order to give each and every person of all genders a choice on whether or not to be seen naked by people of all genders, whether or not to see people of all genders naked, whether or not to expose one’s private parts to any person of any gender whatsoever, and whether or not to see the private parts of any person of any gender whatsoever, that whoever objects to all this will just simply use a bathroom that gives privacy and if they also want only to be with the gender they were born with, this request will be granted. This proposal for a change of laws is all about each and every individual person’s choice. By the term bathrooms with privacy, I mean that a public place ought to be required to have at least several single person restrooms plus a female bathroom with several toilets and each toilet has a stall and a door, plus a male bathroom with several toilets and each toilet has a stall and a door. The kind of law I want to be passed says that a public place that has several single person restrooms, a female bathroom with several toilets and each toilet has a stall and a door, and a male bathroom with several toilets and each toilet has a stall and a door is allowed (not required but allowed) to also have other types of bathrooms, including but not limited to (1) a mixed gender bathroom with several toilets and each toilet has a stall and a door, and (2) a mixed gender bathroom with several toilets, none of the toilets has a stall, and none of the toilets has a door. This law that I request is designed to give each and every person of all genders a choice on whether or not to have privacy, whether to not to be seen naked by any person of any gender whatsoever, whether or not to see any person of any gender naked, whether or not to expose one’s private parts to any person of any gender whatsoever, and whether or not to see the private parts of any person of any gender whatsoever. Under this proposed law, whoever wants privacy gets privacy and whoever does not want privacy does not get privacy. It is all about each and every individual person’s choice. Please give your feedback and please reply.
I have a recurring nightmare about a big public restroom with no privacy about twice a year. I walk around in the restroom looking for a toilet with the best privacy, there are none. I really need to go but big groups of people keep coming in and I just cannot use a toilet with an audience. So I just keep wandering around this restroom but never go. I use a lot of public restrooms because I travel for work. I’ve seen bathrooms with two toilets side by side, and I’ve been to several restrooms at parks and fairgrounds where the stall doors were so high you could look right at the toilets with the door shut. The last one I saw like that was in 2019 in Iowa.
In my high school the stalls were so low if the person in the next stall stood up they could look down at you sitting on the toilet. That was in the mid 1990’s in the USA. I used those twice in 3 years. These are women’s restrooms. I’m here tonight because I was watching “F is for Family”, the animated series with Bill Burr. It takes place in the 1970’s and they showed a men’s public restroom at an airport that was just a line up of toilets with no stalls at all. Was that common then? That’s horrific. I saw that in the marines basic training scene in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” but thought that was just how they torture Marines. My dad said at the YMCA when he was very young (1950’s), the men swam naked in the pool. It was men only then, obviously back then women weren’t allowed to swim lol. So I guess people weren’t shy in the old days.
