Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

kromem,

Such a shame it was cancelled

boomzilla,

I wanted to propose it too, but it can get a bit dark from time to time too. It’s been a great show though. Very funny and all the characters are adorable.

Ted Lasso, can’t recommend it enough.

Goddamn I love me some Ted Lasso. Hits you in the feels in just the right way sometimes too.

Fuck >!his wife!< btw.

Flibbertigibbet,

Hard agree - upbeat, funny, heartwarming!

They do in the UK - where are you?

Yeah I don't think I've ever seen one without, but being red-green colour blind I wish most didn't only use those colours

Often but not always in Germany too

Some do. Most are too cheap to bother.

jonne,

In my experience most do? Maybe the US is different from everywhere else?

Probably.

Most stalls are bolted together pieces of cheap metal with the most basic latch you can imagine. If an indicator adds 10 cents to the cost it’s not going to happen.

The US is cheap. We even famously have large gaps between the door/stall panels. I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don’t jam.

Nicer places sometimes have actual deadbolt locks connected to a vacant/occupied indicator on the exterior. But it is rare. Usually it’s just a gapped stall with a sliding lock that will often not even line up correctly without wiggling the door.

In some instances I have had to use my gym key fob in place of the missing sliding mechanism to secure the door.

I_Fart_Glitter,

It’s to shame you out of doing drugs and having sex in the stalls. It doesn’t work because people who are going to do that in a public toilet are usually immune to said shame.

kablammy,

I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don’t jam.

You could deal with that while still keeping privacy with a rabeted edge on the door sides.

locuester,

Never seen one in the US. Also in the US, 10% or so don’t even close right. Plus a 30 cm gap on the bottom and a half cm gap on both sides of the door.

It’s only an illusion of privacy; anyone can look through the door or under the stall.

Copythis, (edited ) in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

I was using a public toilet that had one.

Turned out, you also had to lock the door!

Edit: now that I think about it, it said occupied, but a lady still just walked right in…

dmention7,

I did this to someone once because the signage didn’t quite match the locking mechanism, and it was not a secure lock… like at all. If it makes you feel any better, the shame was horrific and immediate, and I still feel the aftershocks today, so that lady probably does too.

In the US just peer through the crack between the door and the wall. Ensure solid eye contact with the current occupant. Determine how much time they’ve left. Adjust plan accordingly.

You shouldn’t do that.

The doors are deliberately designed to have a large gap on the bottom, so you can poke your head through. This is the correct way of doing it.

Cold_Brew_Enema,

I always reach under the stalls to grab their ankles. Scaring the shit out of them speeds things up

The most literal case of scaring the shit out of someone.

macrocephalic,

I’m pretty sure that would show me down. I’d have to spend half an hour wiping after pinching it off with that clench.

IronKrill, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

Cost. The gaps in most NA stalls are so big you will know whether it’s occupied anyway just by walking past.

Riven,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Was a bit of a shock when I went to Japan and all the stalls are just small rooms within the restroom. It was nice. Bidet game is on point too.

IronKrill,

The way it should be 😔

sudafossil,

Wait till you see Kansas City airport they have lights outside showing you how many occupied, and lights inside showing you red or green for what’s empty full

over_clox, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

That’s why I just leave the door open like any normal person, duh.

Crackhappy, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

To make sure you peek through the gap so you can see someone grundle a dense foshoomp while you try to figure if it’s occupied.

Basically they skimp like mad on this basic infrastructure because they don't care. Whatever companies make the standard shitty metal toilet cubicles in the US have a lot to answer for.

All the ones I’ve seen stand open when they’re not locked.

How else am I supposed to make new friends?

EtnaAtsume, in whats a song you heard for the first time recently that gave you a powerful reaction?

Cobra by uhh…Megan Thee Stallion. My boyfriend recommended it and although the content isn’t my thing (sex-neutral ace here) I cannot deny that it does indeed Go Hard.

STUPIDVIPGUY, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

Thermae Romae Novae is novel and hilarious
