I don't care if they don't reach the floor, I just wish there was no gap on the sides.
I feel your pain from miles away.
I agree

@Kabuki Kitsune as briefly mentioned the gaps are not present in bathrooms outside the united states, so yes it is possible and most of the world is already doing it.

Or a pug
@@raindoset5408 yes lol
Or 43 year old man with a wife and 3 kids
Speaking from experience huh ?
Or so kids can go under the gap to lock the stalls before crawling back out then no one won’t be able to get in

Exactly.. As soon as I read the title my mind went:
Why *most *American public bathroom doors don't go to the floor
Lol what no fair
As stated in the video, this is a American restroom feature
Yeah it’s mostly just in America
I’ve actually gotten stuck in a bathroom stall before. The lock did its job too well and I was able to crawl under the gap.
Well even if there was no gap at least you would have a place to go to the bathroom while you were stuck.
Why is a public bathroom is called a bathroom when there's no bath in the room?
Toilet
Americans call it bathroom. But i prefer "toilet" instead
@Christian Arce ah yes the the room where one can rest
in where I live, they call it Comfort Room or C.R.... but the question I always think about is... Why tf is it called a Comfort Room when there are people outside the stall demanding you to finish quickly even if you barely peed?

The real question is why is there a giant gap between the door and the stall/frame
It makes it alot easier to build a door that doesn't get hopelessly stuck. By introducing a tollerance. And we are Mas producing them so that's probably worth it.
the inventor of the toilet door of american toilets was a pervert :D
@@GuardionOfficial SAY WOOORDDDDD
@@bentroyer1 what about my privacy? And they don’t have this kind of doors in public toilets in my country

Once somehow someone didn't know I was inside and pulled so hard that the lock broke and the door just opened
In Denmark and other places in the EU, you get a whole door and when you lock the door it says Occupied and are far more clean than US public toilets. Eased my travel anxiety!!

I never asked that question
@Andrew Dobson I'm sorry I don't have a square to spare, I can't spare a square.
been there once myself, except there was no one else in the bathroom to ask to hand me toilet paper.
Sorry, I don't have a square to spare.
Okay so what’s the excuse for there being a gap in between the door and wall big enough to lock both eyes with someone???
No excuse for that gap no ones looking through that gap unless their weird af tho
Honestly, it's just too much
@@jakep1099 u seem to be talking from experience
I've lived in the us all my life and ohnestly I've never known. I wonder why. When i got older i didn't like it but no one really cares down here it's wierd. We need more privacy laws.

Lol right I see so many cool suggestions about world changing things and am like nah and toss the notification away for ot I see this in my notification and say helk ya I need to know

this comment is destined to be top comment
I’m so glad Japan has fully closed stalls. To know if someone is inside there’s a guide in the entrance that shows if it’s locked/occupied (mostly at rest stops) or the door has a clear indicator. The seat cleans itself in some cases too like at the airport. Everything is even automatic! Flushing, cleaning, rinsing and sometimes drying on the toilet.
Japan also sells soap sheets and we have our own towel to dry hands most people carry themselves and there’s almost never a handle for the faucet. Everything feels a lot cleaner in the toilet rooms than in America.
Stop bragging. You're making me jealous.
Japan is gonna make everything automatic in a few years
Anime more like cringe
I miss this so much about visiting Japan ;-;
Then how do they escape?
Also how do they escape perverts?
This channel puts a lot more effort into its list videos than most (like CBR, looper, the richest, etc) simply because of how they transition between list items. It's not a dead pause followed by "NUMBER 4!", they actually script segues.
Some of my family lives in Europe, so I’m used to having American public stalls and European public stalls, and I prefer the European ones because I was at six flags once and I literally had a two year old look under my stall. It was really disturbing.
I hate when that happens.

Answer is that it is to make people uncomfortable.
🎯
the discomfort helps with bowel movement
@@jub8891 legit?
@@joshua_prime3743 not sure discomfort helps with bowel movement, but I do know that people would mostly get out faster if their situation isn’t comfortable.
Actual answer should be that you don’t walk in to the stall with a rando in there.
“Scientists that have too much time on their hands found out that toilets flush in E-Flat” 😂
perfect pitch gang
"Public bathrooms are too disgusting!"
"That's adorable" said construction workers.
I’d use anything instead of a portaloo. If someone had a gun to my head, I’d just say go ahead. It’s a fate worse than death.
Hahaha 😂😂. Come to a over weekend music festival in Finland. We'll have something wonderful to show you!
In elementary school I remember ducking into one of those stalls to escape a bully. Then they crawled under the door. And I crawled over it. I nearly fell in a toilet that day
That's when you kick them in the face, when they're most vulnerable.
@@healingpotionthatkillsyoui1844 .. well I guess your name doesn’t lie.

One time I was playing tag with my friend note: (she's a REALLY strong athlete) I was laughing so much I had to go so I DASHED to the bathroom but she tagged me so hard I fell over let's just say "I fell in a puddle" when it was the last day of school though she shared a story with our sub and she didn't use my name but I EYED HER DOWN so she just said "my friend fell in a puddle while playing tag"
When I was in Primary school the bullies were scared of me 2 gang on me and I punch one in the gut and he dropped and then the other ran off
In my experience the cleanest toilet is the one second to last. Most people go for the last or first.
Mythbusters debunked that...
@@DunnickFayuro don't remember that episode, what season is it? Also as I said it's just my experience.
@@thennoth2860 Your right because usually the last one is the giant roomy stall which is so obvious to people. Middle one is probably more practical
You’re right tbh I got that same experience
What if there's only 2? Like in "for staffs only".
I can confirm that I have a very robust bladder after years of not being able to relieve myself when I'm not comfortable. Sometimes I can't even use the bathroom in my own house when I know I have to get going urgently. Basically: Stress = no peeing, unless my bladder feels like it is about to explode (been there many times - ouch).
You know no other channel brings information quite like this. The questions that we never think about but man it’s very informative and interesting. Very good thank you!
So I’m understanding that I should never use a public restroom again in my life and hold it in till I get home
yeah, just join the champion bladder club, takes some perseverance but its worth!
That relaxation you get when you let it out- ohhh yeahhh!!
That was my solution when I was younger.
@@DamonNomad82 It worked for when I was younger in high school. Not so much on a 10 hr shift...
well you can do it, not so easy with OAB.
its so:
- perverts can get easily caught peeking
- you can escape if for some reason the locking mechanism breaks
- you can tell if someone's already there (edited in later)
Thank you
Well if the door went all the way down, then perverts can't peek.

I worked in a restaurant that was small and the owner decided to have uni-sexed bathrooms and honestly, with all the stigma I hear of how there needs to be 'two' sexed bathrooms, it worked out pretty well. The Health inspector however.....
"Sir, there needs to be 'two' bathrooms for the genders."
The Owner?
"Oh, like how we all have, at 'home'?"
@Ali al-Dulaimi علي الدليمي So what?
Yea, thats a no from me. The only thing worse than me entering a public bathroom, is men entering it too
@@moistorphan If by, 'men entering it too' as in 'there were multiple people' no.The were two bathrooms, uh, 'rooms' in that restaurant, each with a single toilet. It was a small, very busy, very local popular, place.
We all leave food out at home and still eat it but it can not be done in a restaurant after so many minutes. Different rules
@@SirKolass so what? Soo that means it’s difficult from a PUBLIC bathroom?!?
For the soap contamination issue, some restroom soap dispensers use single-use non-refillable replacable plastic soap bags, visible through a window on the dispenser.
Yeah most of them do? This video is a bit of actual bogus. soap washes your hands. toilet water does not
I once heard a guy with explosive diarrhea and it sounded like he was pouring out ice water.
I do not want to smell it 🙂😅😲

because toxic masculinity
In europe we wash our hands
I always wash my hands at home
Eh to much work requires to much effort
I always wash my hands after using the restroom. Then again, I don't use urinals, because they don't have enough privacy...
I like how they still showed the 2 urinals between rule everyone needs to remember this
All the public bathrooms I visited in Japan had 'full doors.'
They were also way cleaner than the average American public bathroom.
"Why Public Bathroom Doors Don't Go To The Floor"
my middle school: we dont have doors
The moral of this video is don’t use public restrooms.
My husband's high school didn't have doors in the boy's bathroom either. It kept boys from going in there and . . . well . . . doing something other than urinating or defecating.
@@behaviorhandwritingrevealt3949 like that ever stopped people. Before quarantine I walked into the bathroom to see um... shaft juice... on the floor in the middle of the bathroom
i’m pretty sure that’s illegal lol
There was a school that decided they had to remove part of the wall to the girl's bathroom so anyone from the hall could see inside, because too many girls were doing drugs in the bathroom. The school got in deep legal trouble for that one, a bunch of girls started to refuse to go school because of the bathroom situation.
Instead of having peek holes in the stalls, why not just have something on the outside of the stall that shows if it’s occupied or not ?
You mean like a port-a-potty?
@@dylancantrell6088 Yeah, like one of those things on the port-a-potty that you can lock from the inside & shows if its occupied or not on the outside.
Exactly!
It exists already, as far as I know it's most commonly found in Europe.
They do, and they're called locks

Now I'm German and have relatives in the US that I used to visit every summer before Corona.
And one of the the thing I always thought was the weirdest in the US were the doors to the toilets 😅
The weirdest thing I ever had happen to me was i was in a public bathroom and a little kid who showed up under the stall. I looked at her shocked but politely said "Please give me privacy."
SaMe thing happened to me so I invited her in to tandom poo
It’s always followed by a horrified mums gasp
I crawled underneath a bathroom stall when I was in kindergarten.
Man, I hate it when little kids do that. :(
When a kid did that to me I pointed and firmly and sharply said "OUT!" It worked. The kid was really too old to have any excuse for doing that. It was a boy of about 7 in a ladies room. His mother made no effort to control him. Kids like that are one of many reasons I hate dressing rooms and public restrooms. If I had done that as a kid, my mother would definitely have had something to say about it.
Okay but I have never in my life EVER seen a toilet with water filled up to the brim..US citizen here

I like how there’s a gap under the door, once, when I was 9, the bathroom stall was locked and I couldn’t unlock it so I crawled out from underneath
I’m glad there’s a gap underneath the stall cause one time when I was at bingo with my grandpa (I was old enough to be able to play) and I had to use the bathroom, my stall door got stuck and wouldn’t even open so I had to literally crawl out in order to free myself. Thank God I was using long jeans
Fun story time!: My sister was trapped in a bathroom stall in an air port the locked was rusted and couldn't get it open so my mom was trying to free her the doors were so large and down that not even my small cousin could fit so in the end my mom like a badass jumped over the top from another stall and kicked open the door and my father in the end asked why it took so long
