Most countries have the indicators

OhFudgeBars,

How hard is it to press on the stall door and if it doesn’t open, just move on to the next?

What do you think we live in, the future?

Wazzamatter,

TIl us North Americans apparently are the only ones with this problem…

Blackmist,

Americans, isn’t it?

Next they realise that toilets shouldn’t have massive gaps around and under the doors.

Y’all are living with prison toilets.

You guys don’t have an indicator near the door handle?? It’s super common in the Netherlands. Almost every toilet has a small indicator, except for maybe some old doors the owners didn’t replace, but all else always shows if it’s occupied or not (not that people won’t try anyway even if red for occupied).

andthenthreemore,

They do.

Australia checking in, those are definitely a thing here

Agent641,

Its super awkward when youre too busy unlatching your ground harness to connect your toilet harness that you forget to lock the door, and some cobber walks in and sees you hanging there with your dick and balls out, pooping into the void of space.

TheSanSabaSongbird,

I just leave the door open, that way everyone knows I’m in there. I even wave at the kids.

Because in the US you can usually see the person shitting through the ridiculous gaps in the stalls.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

To be fair, it sounds better to have a 1 meter gap than it does to have a 3 foot gap when you have no sense of scale.

detectivesniffles,

slides under your stall

don’t forget about canada too

macrocephalic,

I’m middle aged and I don’t recall a time in my life when vacant/occupied indicators weren’t on all public toilets.

mangosloth,

Yeah here in Japan most places have a red and blue indicator that moves with the lock. Bidets and toilet seat sanitizers are also pretty standard in any decently modernized areas. We kinda win when it comes to bathrooms.

Waker,

Just got back from Japan. I’m always surprised when I’m in the middle of nowhere and the public restrooms have heated sitting, deodorizer, bidet, background sounds. Like… Wtf? That’s better than my toilet at home. And I’m not even from the US 🙃

Feathercrown,

Porta potty doors swing closed automatically, so they need the indicator. In public bathrooms, the doors stay open, so if it’s closed it’s occupied.
