Because mirrors in public restrooms tend to hang in front of the sink area, mirror hogs can impede hand-washing in crowded bathrooms. I think installing small, private-use mirrors on the inside doors of bathroom stalls will encourage mirror hogs to use their own mirrors while in the stall, rather than
stand in the way of those who just need to wash their hands.
Additional uses for the private mirrors would include:
- adjusting skirt in pantyhose problem before leaving stall
- checking for moles
- braiding or doing hair while sitting on the potty (hey, kill 2 birds and all)
- practicing smiling for your date in privacy
- checking teeth for food before leaving stall
- and many, many, more!
P.S. "Health" doesn't seem to be a good major category for this idea, but I wanted to attach "Public Bathroom" rather than "Home: Bathroom" to it. If anyone has suggestions on a better categorization, please feel free to let me know.

Crossie for the fact that I've thought of the same thing. Bone for the fact I don't like to watch myself grunt and strain. Neutral vote for now. |

Who'd get the bad luck, the person looking at a stall in anticipation, or the person hogging the stall? |
|
| |
The person banging on the door - that's ruder than using the stall too long. (Sometimes things don't always come out right, you know.) |
|
| |
As long as you don't have them there for urinals as well... |
|
| |
I don't imagine guys hog mirrors as much as the lipstick-mongers (women) do, so probably not to worry, [ sctld ]. |
|
| |
Oi! You finished in there yet? |
|
| |
That would look strange, standing and checking yourself in the mirror and seeing someone else's legs at the bottom (outside). |
|
| |
what DrCurry said: I can see people getting impatient and peeing in the sinks... |
|
| |
With stalls in the round, the slight gaps in the door frames would accept partial images from the round a the loo. |
|
| |
I say put the frickin' mirrors on the floor. That way you can see who's waiting to use the stall and seeing them watching you back would make you feel like you needed to get out of there...FAST! |
|
| |
Why not just hang extra mirrors, with a comfortable shelf to put your bag on, all around the bathroom, and not just behind the sinks? That would solve the basic problem without creating fresh ones. |
|

It's hard enough for some people to relieve themselves in a public bathroom as it is. I think the gaze of one's own beady eyes would just add to washroom crowding by presenting another "stage-fright" factor, making everyone take twice as long in there . . . |
|
| |
Maybe some kind of door or cover on the mirror would allieviate these problems as well as keeping the mirror somewhat protected. |
|
| |
Call me paranoid, but I always think that there is a camera behind those things. How about getting rid of ALL the mirrors, thereby frustrating the mirror hogs, and making me feel better at the same time? |
|
| |
Or better yet, put all the mirrors on the ceiling. Fair play to everyone. |
|
| |
This will allow all of the sickos to wank their silly serpent (as they watch themselves) while dropping a deuce, thus shortening the time when they have to imagine someone. |
|
| |
Unless you don't like someone to watch....
...or do you?
...or can't you decide?
...yes...no...yes....no... |

//dropping a deuce//
You don't mind if I add that to my Lexicon of Intentionally Ambiguous References (LIAR), do you? |
|
| |
Dropping a "#2"? Is that what we're talking about? |
