Believe it or not I'm not ranting. I haven't had an issue with this in a long time. That's just the only reasonable reason I could think of for having them. On the unreasonable side however there are many...unfortunately this would make the world a very bizarre place to live in. |

I'm kind of curious as to what people get up to in there, although I'd probably lose my cookies thrice daily. And then people could watch me puke! But wouldn't that be my just desserts for proposing something as heinous as this. :-)| — | dgeiser13,

Anyway, as I understand it this is
how it is in prison and some
military establishments. (No
walls, that is, not transparent
walls.) People
get over it, apparently, though I
imagine it wouldn't work well for
society at large. |
|
| |
(I imagine it would be
particularly unpopular in Japanese
women's restrooms...) |
|
| |
I can just picture it now... Sirens blazing, beacons flashing on exterior of restroom door as Janitorial Security yells "Spread 'em" while your pants* are around your ankles
*Under and/or over |
|

This idea sounds like a nightmare and a flashers delight. It also reminded me that in Philly there is -or was - a club that had a two-way mirror in the men's bathroom. The amusement came in using the urinals, let's hope for peeing, while watching women primp unknowingly on the other side. A symbiotic relationship? |
|
| |
[Mephista]: That would be '*some* normal people', no? |
|
| |
Baked, or at least half-baked. |

Belgo Noord in Camden, London, has a glass tiled, ahem, 'restroom' and to make matters worse it's right next to an open-plan kitchen area. |
|
| |
You can't see 'detail' but you can make out what people are doing. |
|
| |
At least I could, when observing from a matter of feet away. |
|
| |
Quite put me off my mussels and frites I can tell you. |
|
| |
This was a few years ago, so things might have changed - either to a proper wall (here's hoping) or a plain glass partition. Recent updates welcome... |
|
| |
Would you be able to tell whether the seat was up or down and things like that? Maybe it was intended to shorten the odds that kitchen staff would wash their hands afterwards. |
|
| |
The obvious thing to do, of course, is to electrify the seat when it detects that it's being hit with a stream of liquid. |
|
| |
I dunno, Monkfish. Hot weather, sweaty buttocks. Perhaps a beefy nun with a moustache to oversee your accomplishment of the chore? And punish you if you are delinquent? Oooo, too kinky. |
|

This assumes that people do these things on purpose. But I'd have to guess that some non-zero percentage of seat-crappers have giardia, celiac sprue, some form of fecal incontinence... and they don't intend to do this. And the pee-ers? Little kids perfecting their aim, those with sphincter problems, and yes, the toilets themselves that are so vigorous in their flushing that they spray the seat themselves (have seen this with my own eyes). While I certainly think a loud buzzer and blinky red light going off when someone does these sorts of things on purpose, I'd rather not punish those who are both embarrased and unable to do much about it -- often, including cleaning it up (excuse me, sir, do you know where they keep the Sani-Bol?). |

A hundred years ago, double holed outhouses were quite common in Sweden. The main reason being to give the parents a place for confidential conversation, such as about money matters, out of earshot of the older and younger family members in their crowded home. |
|
| |
Wow, I really thought I had heard it all... Why would I EVER want to watch someone use the bathroom? |
|
| |
There was a guy in the States a couple of years ago who was arrested for watching women go to the bathroom from inside a campground outhouse. when they yanked him out he was wearing a full wetsuit. |
|
| |
ummm..... i don't think anyone would go in there in the first place. |
|
| |
But nobody would use a see through rest room anyway so it would be a waste of time and money bilding them! |
|
| |
We hung the urinals on the glass block walls- 30,000 Hawkeye fans can't be wrong! |
