Dutch toilets - sh.itjust.works

American toilets gave me culture shock

They’re so shallow that you can’t even sit down without your balls touching the bowl or the water

I hated them, they made anxious. But much worse were the stalls into could look into. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people seeing me taking a shit.

On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until.the 90s. Rare nowadays.

I’ve always known that our stall walls in the US were shit, but then I visited Sweden and saw how truly horrible we were.

Over there, there are no men’s rooms or women’s rooms. There are just several doors each to a private bathroom and so it doesn’t matter who uses which one.

I’m sure our “single room with flimsy stall dividers” design is the cheapest, plus it’s not as convenient for all the drug addicts and homeless people our society creates, so it will never change.

I think you mean high stall walls and not low. You’re talking about the huge gap so the janitors can sweep and mop easier.
No, I meant that I literally could see people taking a shit when walking in the restrooms at several places, because the walls were just ~180cm high.
I’ve never seen stall walls that short but usually when I’m sitting, I would not be able to see over it. Generally the giant gaps between panels are enough to let someone see you from the door.
