“And let’s add sinks with sensors that will only clean your hands for about 3 seconds and then won’t turn back on.”
That was clearly the brainchild of a germophobe cheapskate who hated the idea of wasting water and touching the tap after you washed
The universe balances this out with the urinals that never stop flushing.
That you have to keep waving your hands under looking like an idiot.
and then they'll pour out water for 2 seconds after you dont need them, even though it waste TONS of water

Don't forget to make sure there is absolutely no ambient noise in the bathroom so you can hear absolutely everything that's happening
I thought this was a joke, but then I found out this is a real thing in the US.
They build them like that to discourage people from using public toilets.
Where people that blast loud music on their smartphone go from disturbing the peace to a public servant
@@thecomposerchanginggames5250 my saviours
Actually ambient music or something wouldn’t be a bad idea 🤔 (no irony here)
western world no privacy at all , glass doors and glass walls a see through house
I feel so bad for American public toilets..
In Korea I even encountered little music boxes to mask the toilet sounds you make THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
Why are everyone else's public bathrooms so much better than ours?
@@amandapanda5087 Partly because politicians won't spend money on their people. Another part is people expecting them to only be used by drug addicts or homeless people. So it mostly comes down to ignorance and greed.
Brilliant idea. I heard those were installed because otherwise people will flush to mask sounds
--> use of water triples.
i'm all in favor of little music boxes. For all that I care, put in little generators that you power every time you push the door open or so.
i live in israel all our public toilets have to be bomb resistant
@@yonatanmonneler1744 You get bombed so often they have to be bomb resistant?
Also there could be automatic toilets that just kinda flush whenever so it can be a fun surprise game of "will it flush and spray your butt or won't it?"
😂😂😂😭😭
Automatic flushing? you sure it's not a ghost that was just there doing ghost poops when you sat in their lap and did yours?
Just came to be that some guys won't be able to relate to this 😂
It rarely sprays my butt but it always gets real loud and startles the hell outta me. Am I the only one?
It.adds excitement
Far more coherent and focused than whatever committee actually designed them.
The motivation here was pretty clear
Committee? It was probably originally designed by just 1 person. 😅
Probably in the same group lol
Shitty committee
@@bern9642 the person was probably 5
"Oh, he looked through the gap, why did he look through the gap?" Best line in here by far 😄
My high school bathrooms werent tall enough so taller people could just peek in if they wanted to (and I've even seen some doing it)
The doors that separate the toilets from the bathroom area were also too high up for the lock, so whenever you would try to lock the bathroom door, it would bump off the lock because it's at the wrong space. So basically, you had to hold onto the door the entire time while pooping/peeing, and tall guys could look at any time they wanted. It was pure horror.
Rip
clearly they were designed by the Creepy guy.
This why I never use the school washrooms no matter how much I need to go.
It's an honor system
D:
The fact that Ryan made this during spooktober instead of "The guy who invented haunted houses" shows just how terrifying public bathroom stalls are
I can one up it...
One of the bathrooms in my highschool just had cement block walls with no doors.
The walls were also under 3 ft tall.
And no, we were not a poor district. It was an active choice to have absolutely no privacy there.
And no, it wasn't one of the tucked away ones. It was in about the highest-traffic area of the building.
Also, the starewell everyone knew people always smoked in (because it was impossible not to notice the smell) got to keep both its doors.
And no, I WISH I was making that up or exaggerating, and again, highschool...this was done to minors.

If brown jacket Ryan isn’t careful, he may get put into a room, I decided.
a small room with NO walls around the bathroom and a large roommate
@@recoveringsoul755 I think he will like that actually
A locked room that he can't leave for awhile, I decided."
And someone else should be in charge of locking and unlocking the door to the room, also we could make a little hole that we can feed him through so he doesn't die
Also a toilet in that room should not have any walls whatsoever so a large roommate get to see everything.

The restrooms made by creepy guy make so sense... and it's freaking creepy. Got to love him for making it to where we want change it.
I hear European bathrooms actually have doors that shut without gaps. Truly, the civilized peoples of the world.
not exactly, alot of restrooms here have the same weird gaps, especially in bars and similar.
Cubicle doors here don’t have weird gaps. Was very uncomfortable in a US public toilet when I was there
@@bryanwang9095 US toilets gotta have that gap so you can stick your gun through and shoot at intruders, its for safety

I've been bringing this up to some of my American friends for years! 🤣 Especially when i hear them complain about the privacy on Facebook or somewhere else online. Them i'm like "dude, why bother about that and not about the fact that people can see you sitting on the toilet while taking a number two? ". I hate US public toilet stalls.
Typical Americans: complain when they opt to hand away their privacy; don't complain when it is forcefully taken from them.
In fairness.... It's just pooping.
Hey, it's not all bad. Sometimes you get painful small talk. Or phone arguments. If you're lucky, you even get a hummer/singer.
In all seriousness, I did have one time where I had to ask for a roll from the stall next to me, as I didn't have time to check to see my own was out. Therefore, I can't say it is 100% negative. Only about 99% bad, kinda like our public transportation!
Pretty sure that's not a good comparison
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Typical dumbass on the internet: complain when they opt to hand away their privacy; don't complain when it is forcefully taken from them.
"but we'll add walls"
"Ok but what kind of door?"
"No doors and the walls have to be too slim and short to cover anything, basically planks"
“Well shouldn't we have some sort of dividers for urinals?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, go-”
“As long as they're half the height of the stalls.”
“No, we-”
“Okay, fine. We’ll only use them occasionally.”
At my school theres 3 urinals without walls
(All the boys are planning on yelling "BUILD A WALL!")
Urinals without dividers for simultaneous use by multiple people are a thing in some public places, especially some older construction sports halls. It's basically a piss chute for as many people as dare squeeze between each other to pee into.
@@thatisjustwhatisaid That's what I was thinking! What about the urinal troughs at stadiums!?
I was really waiting for more discussion of how terrible urinals are
If they dont add walls then they should add the news or somthing stuck to the wall in front of you that gets updated everyday so youve got somthing to distract you from 60 year old billy joe next to you

🔫Oh really, name them all

I lived in America for close to 7 years…
In all my time in the USA I avoided public toilets like they were the plague.
Each time, before going out, I made sure I’d evacuated everything I could from my bowels.
Going to a public toilet (not urinal) would have meant I was truly desperate and about -or in the process of- to shit my pants.
Same, except I’ve have been living in America for 12 years, and counting.
I've lived here my whole 33 years, and I do the same thing. I've had many IBS emergencies in which I've had to deal with the terrors of the worst public bathrooms. These also include gas station ones missing toilet paper completely(don't ask). Now, a lot of businesses have closed all public toilets because people leave them in terrible shape and nobody wants to clean them anymore. So I literally put off my entire day sometimes because I never know where I can stop or how bad of shape things will be in.
Once I saw doors not even 1.60 m high. There's hat guys everywhere it seems.
“How should the sinks be?”
"How about the tap be super short and barelly drop water into the sink bowl?"
"Perfect"
Oh, I hate it when they make it super short, so you're practically rubbing your hands against the sink bowl.
"I don't like how that guy said 'oh' "
Yep, he's already got it

@@BigBear-- India doesn't count
@@caerphoto China in many areas still uses squat toilets. Don't know if you think that's sensible.
Though I think France with its bidet toilets have a pretty good idea.
They are the US's current cabinet.
the guy who came up with the gap in the stalls idea is the same guy that would go to the stall next to you when every other stall is empty
I remember when I was a teenager, about 16, I caught a creepy guy looking at me through the gap in a bathroom stall. I yelled at him and he scurried away. Weird people like the gap.
I'm sorry to hear that
"But you won't be able to see much through the gap."
"Except if you're walking by the gap as you would be doing and get a panoramic view of the entire stall."
I'd just refuse to leave the stall unless/until my family come
By unless i mean unless my family is there, not unless they come😂

This was a very accurate portrait of my experience with public bathrooms during my internship in the US. Everything is just bigger there, the roads, cars, gaps in public bathroom stalls, everything. Greets from NL!
- and what should we put on the floors and walls?
- extremely polished tile. Shine it up like a mirror! You need to be able to make direct eye contact with your neighbor at all times
Don't forget the actual mirror on the ceiling, just to be sure.
Lastly. Lets also make sure the bathrooms are extremely *BRIGHT.* Leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.
That would be indirect eye contact.

As a Brit that surprised me when I went to America. Literally the toilets at the airport I went "I'd heard they were higher at the bottom but that's higher than I thought!"
Love how the creepy guy managed to infiltrate the " the place where names decided " for the bug segment to. It shows initiate and vision.
Also it should be super quiet, like, the quietest library you've ever experienced quiet, so that absolutely everything you do in there, every motion and breath and unavoidable biological and water-splooshy sound can be CLEARLY heard by everyone else in the room, because that's what creepy guy wants to hear.
I actually would approve of a small increase in my taxes to have some music constantly playing in any public bathroom.
Especially when we had those massive dungs. Fucking hard to conceal the sounds they make. I hate it
@@Nikki_the_G A nice, noisy exhaust fan is fine, and serves another purpose too, but yes, give us some kind of white noise or music noise or really darn near any sort of noise that isn't me doing my business and we're good.

Missed opportunity, Ryan should have said "honor, or glory system".
The most awesome public bathroom I've ever been to was basically a hallway with a row of closet doors. Behind each door was a completely private toilet. I thought to myself, "this was clearly made for me."
But yeah, I often forget we're only one generation removed from that weirdly aggressive anti-privacy anti-comfort mentality that forced young boys to shower together in school. I was fortunate to not be a part of that. We didn't have to shower if we didn't want to but we still had to change in front of each other. There was that weird backwards mentality that declared you were "gay" if you were noticeably uncomfortable.
Sheesh, I'm glad that's not a thing anymore. School are really messed up though
I still have never been to a dressing room anywhere that was private. Or a shower either tbh, there might be a glass divider between the two showers but not a stall. A weird thought for me. I live in Finland though where people are maybe a bit more chill about nudity, with sauna culture and all that. I’m a bit sad that it seems to be changing and influenced by foreign media etc. I would hate if people started being super weird and awkward about nudity and sexualizing it to an excessive extent (like being weird about a 3 year old being in the room when their mom showers or something), which I feel is more the case in.. um.. certain countries 😁
Not everyone is so embarrassed by nudity. Maybe sexualizing nudity is what is backwards.
I once watched a documentary, about a guy that got reject by his girlfriend in front of an entire stadium. Soon people discovered the reason the girl didn't want to marry him, was because his penis was too small.
He went on a journey about the whole penis size stigma. His father said something interesting.
The guy asked if his father also had a small penis and if he and his mom were okay with it. The father said that back in the day, boys usually were naked around each other preety often. Not just in showers and bathrooms, but like bathing in rivers and lakes for fun.
They were okay with their own bodies and penises, because seeing other people naked in a non-sexual way, made nudity natural. The boys saw each others penises and they realise that there's always someone bigger, thicker, smaller, hairer than them.
Nowadays, men don't even see their father or brothers naked, and the only reference for what is normal body or penis is through porn. That doesn't represent the "natural" at all. Which lead to a lot of self-esteem issues.
A naked body is just a naked body. The reason people feel self-conscious, is because they project their own insecurities onto others.
@@enenenergp fyi...I can't imagine many countries more arms-length about family nudity than here in the U.S. but, it IS common for toddlers to see their parents naked. It's a safety issue. You can't just lock an awake toddler out.
just imagine... our great great grandchildren will hopefully get public toilet doors that shut completely to give them privacy and maybe, just maybe, they will get 2 ply toilet paper that didn't have just one square left by the time you need to use it and you discover it after you've dropped a big one...
Creepily accurate. I never cease to be amazed at expensive restaurants that have urinals with nothing between them, Even went to one where the urinal was on the same wall as the sink and mirror, seriously weird.

I love Ryan's videos in general, but every now and then he shines a big WTF light on society and absolutely nails it. This is one of those times.
The cubicle walls are raised off the ground for easy cleaning. The cubicles can be cleaned without going into each one of them and there are fewer corners for filth to accumulate.
I thought everyone knew this - it's not really a WTF
@@zig131 ah yes, so we have the gap in order to allow the people whose job it is to clean the bathrooms not to have to clean them very carefully. Got it.
Everything aside, it's super useful for passing a toilet paper roll.
@@pvshka or just stealing some toilet paper from the next stall over if you don't have any and the next stall is empty.
Hypothetically speaking, of course. 👀
@@zig131 Honestly, the worst offenders re. "BIG gaps EVERYWHERE" I've seen were all in the US (haven't been to Canada, so I can't say about that one). Which means that cleaners in, for example, Europe, also manage to clean the cubicles somehow, despite a lack of such gaps.
This is my favorite "The Guys Who..." video, by far! Ryan's facial expressions crack me up every time... but is anyone else ruined for using public restrooms now? I can't help but be more aware of every gap, sound and lock nowl. :D
I'm convinced that every office architect thought about adding more ventilation to the men's room, only to say, "Forget that, I'm late for my 1:20 tee time this afternoon. Those poor people can just get a device mounted on the wall with a timer that shoots bad fragrance instead, that will be good enough for them!"
"The doors should also be two feet off the floor!"
"What? Why?"
"So dipsticks can lock those doors and crawl back out!"
"People are really going to crawl over the urine-coated tiles of a public restroom just to mildly inconvenience the next person?"
"Yeahyeahyeah!"
"Well okay then!"
Whoops!
Whoopsie
Good lord. You hop on the throne, then over the stall's wall. Please tell me this is a hypothetical and you're not describing someone's actual decision to crawl (dry heave) across the (not-so-dry heave)...
@@AtlasJotun You don't live in America do you...? LOL.
@@AtlasJotun i haven't done this, but those bathroom walls can barely support a 13 year old leaning on them, so i would think that climbing them would break the wall
I spent some time as a janitor to help pay for school and I can confirm that this happens. Public restrooms are the worst.
An under-appreciated bit Ryan's genius is that he really nails the different personalities of the corporate meeting, every time. There's the enabler ("Those basically mean the same thing"). And there's the guy running the meeting, who keeps giving the wrong person the benefit of the doubt ("Could be good for air circulation"), shutting down the person speaking sense ("Okay, let's keep this meeting rolling"), and positioning sanity and insanity like they're equally valid options ("Yeah, I guess it's between those two ideas").
THIS SO MUCH

*Public bathroom video pitch meeting*
Ryan George: Guys this sketch is only three and a half minutes long, what else do you think we can put in the video?
Adstonaut: How about a giant ad?
I agree about the locks. It's hard to have faith in how well they'll actually work in any given instance.
- Well, we've talked about sight and smell. What do you think we should do about sound in these rooms?
- It might be a nice idea to have the sound of running water - say a babbling brook - or some music playing. Or maybe just some white noise. Doesn't have to be loud, just enough to mask those embarrassing noises people make as they do their business so they feel more comfortable...
- I disagree. I think the room should be as quiet as an anechoic chamber so we can hear every single sound in perfect detail. I want these rooms to be so quiet that when you walk into a restroom in a library, the space outside seems like a rock concert in comparison. I want to be able to hear EVERYTHING - every single tinkle and plop. When someone is wiping themselves with toilet paper, I want it to sound like a hardwood floor being belt-sanded. And let's cover the walls in sound-reflective tiles to amplify and reverberate the sound. Someone taking a dump in glorious high fidelity 10.1 surround sound. That's what I want to hear! And when someone clears their throat, I want the sound to reverberate for a good ten seconds after they stop.
- Really? Could we compromise just a little on this?
- OK, how about we install air dryers that sound like you're standing behind a 747 on the runway at LaGuardia? That way, when they're running you can let it rip in the stall for 20 seconds without having to feel embarrassed.
- But when they stop, won't that actually heighten the quietness and make you more embarrassed to even breathe?
- YES! Wonderful idea.
Good Lord.. This is absolutely creepy and hilarious at the same time.
😂😂
I loved this, but I will have to be "that guy" and note that an anechoic chamber is basically the opposite of the sound-reflective walls concept.
Damn you made me laugh out loud 😂, thank you sir! Side note - i live in Australia and in one of the shopping centres with me, the music that plays in the centre is on in the bathrooms too 😊
I automatically read this in Ryan George's voice, with his monotone inflections on words and comedic timing... This is awesome and accurate
You just made me laugh almost as much as the video did. You should write for pitch meeting.
And don’t forget adding “state of the art” motion sensor toilets that flush themselves at least three times while you’re in the middle of doing your business but then won’t flush for the life of you once you actually want to flush them.

@@ultimamage3 not all of them, and even then a lot of them are very faulty with the buttons, at least from my experience.
@@knyte8706 True, we always have to account for businesses being CHEAP AF when getting their autoflushing toilets and not repairing them. Also that weird phenomenon of every other toilet looking like someone beat the fuck out of it in frustration.

I'm guessing this joke has been made many times before but, I love the fact that this guy who plays multiple characters so well in his skits has two first names.
I for one have had to crawl under a stall to assist someone that had fallen, hit her head and was laying unconscious in a rapidly spreading pool of blood. The gap at the bottom was handy for both me knowing she was in distress and getting to her to render aid
Or you could have easily kick the door open
ok but we can jus remove the side gap, right

This is great 😂 I’ve had numerous nightmares regarding the gaps in public stalls over the decades 😅
To any and all Europeans who haven't been to the US of A: He isn't joking. There seriously is a gap between the door and walls of the toilet stalls...
American toilets are weird enough for Americans to be self-aware about it. That's how weird they are, they decided.
Someone should put the ones who came up with that idea in a room.
If you want to talk weird. I had an emergency moment while driving in France and pulled into a rest stop. There was an open area with a hole in the floor. I don't remember if there was a door. No I'm not joking and yes it was a real facility with places to wash your hands and urinals however for #2 there was a floor hole with TP off to the side.

This quote is often taken out of context. It is important to remember later in the book, where Sun Tzu also said "sometimes people don't drop stinkers" in order to get a more complete picture to help your military strategy
Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about pooping than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor.

reminds me of the golden era of youtube videos with short talking to the camera skits
I get on a roll watching these videos. On many occasions I have gotten people viewing in my stall while trying to take care of FEMENINE needs. And they just stand there and stare because there is not only a huge gap around the door but also no where for people to wait except outside the doors. Still, avert your eyes. I don't tinkle in public anymore because of this bathroom situation. So glad I am not the only one thinking these things.
"And there should be at least two sinks, but only one soap dispenser. So if you're forced to use the far one, you have to get really close to touching me while I'm using the close one."
I'll accept that, so long as the one with the working soap dispenser is one the opposite side of the one with the working towel dispenser and working sink, if that's automatic.
Ok feels like literally no-one knows how to use these so I’ll explain. First wash your hands under the tap. Then while the tap is off apply soap and vigorously and thoroughly rub your hands with it. Now wash off the soap. You now have clean hands. There’s easily enough water when you use these taps as intended.
"And both taps should only dispense cold water, so nobody can ever properly clean their hands."
@lebensraummetal You know you'vê been born in economic when their plubic bathrooms have hot water.
@Simon Pryor Yes, because all soap adheres to an international standard and all taps have the same timing, right?
Now you have to touch it again after just washing your hands and use alcohol on the spot afterwards.
I thought of *safety* initially but… this video has made me reconsider this.
from what I heard it's mostly to prevent people doing questionable things inside. and it is an america only thing. where I live, the gap is ~2mm at some public restrooms and it is already too much.
Hallo OT! How is your day going?
@@jansustar4565 It's not only America but it isn't everywhere.
They're designed that way precisely to make you feel uncomfortable, so you don't stall too much.
In England, it's as if you're in your own ventilated private cubicle and I am so grateful.
"now on to hygiene" "how about motion sensing faucets that never work and air dryers that just kinda suggest the water off of your hands?"

Ryan please do the first person to skydive:
"I'm going to jump out of this aeroplane with nothing but a bit of material to stop me from dying an awful bloody death!"
"Why, is the aeroplane crashing?"
"No not at all, it would just be fun I decided."
Every skydiver I know: jumping out of airplanes is TIGHT!
And what do you do if the stopping material breakes while you fall to death?
I'll have a second one in my backpack.
That sounds reasonable.
Which is smaller and can't be steered.
@@thenamen935 it'll be fine, I'll just bend my knees and roll on impact!
@@thenamen935 Braking is good. Breaking on the other hand..
@@epiendless1128 and if there is too much breaking it leads to too few braking which on the otherhand leads to more breaking xD
(Thanks for mentioning it, I'll edit my previous comment accordingly)
love ryan's delivery in this one, "just a little lock that doesn't lock, sure!" the way he presents downright delusional statements like this so smoothly and professionally never fails to send me
what delusion lol this had to have happened almost all BATHROOMS ARE LIKE THIS XD
you make a valid point
yeah.
“Sometimes they drop stinkers.”
“Sometimes they drop stinkers..?”
the confusion in the second line had the milk i was drinking explode
"so smoothly and professionally never fails to send me" Send you where D: ? Did you ever find a way to get back!?!?!
To send you?
Ryan always hits hard on the real issues. These thoughts always have plagued me.
Dude I have watched this so many times, and it never fails to make me cry with laughter! It is incredible!
"To save paper towels there should be a loud machine attached to a wall that blows air but doesn't actually dry your hands it just makes them a little less damp"
"We'll slap labels on them insisting they are more environmentally friendly despite that the electricity consumed each time one is activated couldn't possibly have a smaller carbon footprint than using 1 or 2 cheap, biodegradable paper towels."
@@mresturk9336 "And people won't realize how completely unsanitary they are since they just collect bathroom germs and shoot them on your 'clean' hands."
Right! So if someone wants to wipe their mouth or wipe off a stain on their shirt, they have to use toilet paper instead, which rips when it gets wet, so they'll have little tiny white spots all over their now-wet black shirt.
@@aaronseidl5941 Yeah, since covid those things are mainly not used anymore.. which is interesting since we used it since decades previously.
@@1IGG speak for yourself. where i live it's almost all automatic hand dryers now because environmentally friendly. it sucks
Seeing how far cellphones have come since I was a kid, it really is shocking how much bathroom stalls haven't changed especially considering so much improvements can be made.
It's all about money, you pay exactly the same for a swanky toilet as you do for a shitty toilet when you use it i.e. nothing at all so there's not really the incentive to make improvements beyond the most basic.
The walls off the ground to see passed out people and to mop the floors.
With the gaps so wide people see a perfect gaps not paper thin.
Like he said the " honor system " don't look unless your into that kinda stuff getting kicked in the face
I think the world improvements here is subjective... which is probably why they haven't been made.
@@hinoakuma6386 Public toilet are objectively terrible. Forget the doors not going down, what about the spaces inbetween the doors. So many have edges that are so wide you can see clearly inside. So little privacy.
@@robrick9361 lol... objectively terrible for the people who don't pay for them... but for the people who pay to install them... the less material and the greater space utilised means the cheaper the cost.
That's what I mean by improvements are subjective, because you're thinking of improvement from your pov. Not from the business owners etc.
Can we just appreciate how he puts the ads at the end of the video?
Agree. Our bathrooms in the US are so strange. Why do we put up with this? Also, don’t forget the doors that swing inward and sometimes built too close to the toilet. You have to stratal the toilet just to shut the door. At my office we had stalls where the walls were not distanced evenly apart on each side. One wall was way closer than the other. They put the toilet paper roll on the closet wall so the roll is practically on your lap when you sit down. Ugh. The engineers on some of these bathrooms are terrible!
"Mirrored walls, 100% mirrored walls"- who let that guy on the team?

I'm tried of turning knobs all the time for water when I wash my hands. Can't we just have a motion sensor that requires you to fling your hands around for 4 minutes using every position imaginable until it finally activates and lasts for all but 3 seconds?
And tends to get very hot very quickly. Sure hot water is good against germs but I want it to be nearly scalding!
At our school its even worse it only activates for a split second, so you have to wave one hand in front of the sensor, and thenyou can wash the order. Kinda
@@alexanderbrand3041
A lot of the spring-button faucets have the same problem. You have to hold a button - that everyone else has been touching - down in order to wash one hand at a time.
The faucets at my work quit after a few seconds when washing my hands, but without fail they go off when I bend over to pick up my bag. They detect the position of my head better than the hands under them.
At my grocery store, I'd notice MANY times that some butt-heads would CONSTANTLY leave the sinks running. So.... it's those water-runner's faults we got motion sensors

“Sometimes people drop stinkers.”
-Ryan George, 2021.
This is hands down my favorite video the perv guy and not perv guy worked so good
I love that he's saying that public bathrooms were made by a perv.
Who else would even want to be on the project?
I think they just want people to get in and out of there ASAP.
If they had total privacy, they might attract the homeless, hookers etc.
It's fucking ridiculous how they compromise law-abiding people's privacy because they can't police their own place.
@@SovereignStatesman fuck man you're probably right, just like the purposely uncomfortable benches.
People who want to save money
The truth is cheap designers, but being a perv fits the story better.
" ok so basically it's just disgusting, all who agrees says yeah"
" YEAH"
"Ok good job everyone , see you after lunch "
yes
YEAH
He said "get to" this time!
hahah that got me
i like how he has a fake mustache on top of his real mustache
First commandment of the Men's Room: "Thou shalt not peak."
Second: "Thou shall not talk"
Third: "Thou shall not select the urinal next to another unless that is all that is available."
Amen
Hund's rule.
I’m sure that’s a typo, but guys definitely shouldn’t be “peaking” in public bathrooms.
Fourth: Fast Food restaurants shall never clean the washrooms or stock toilet paper or towels.
4th: Left handed guys should hold it with their right hand while peeing and vice-versa.
I especially love when the side gap between the door and the stall is so big, you wonder why they even bothered with the door at all.
So your vote is for no door at all. Interesting.
@@stephen3164 🤣
@@stephen3164
LOL
I love how you managed to twist my words into something even worse
Edit: forgot to add the 🤣🤣🤣 so this does not get mistaken for sarcasm
I've seen some that have a foot on both sides wide open, the door is just to block entry, not for privacy.
The camp I used to go to didn't even have doors, but had shower currents instead. It was an odd design choice, but honestly wasn't any worse than the traditional stall door.
I love that he acknowledged the simple bliss of sneezing several times consecutively
I love how you do the presidential thumb hand thing when you say "Sometimes people drop stinkers"
“He looked through the gap” 🤣🤣🤣that part had me in stitches👌🏼👌🏼
I am so glad that later that day they decided to take the same design and apply them to dressing rooms to try on clothes. it is so comforting knowing that everyone who walks into the area can see me and know if I am okay. If I should slip and knock myself unconscious stumbling around in such of a small space, people could easily just pull me out from under the door.
Pull your half dressed, unconscious, body from under the door. Gotta think safety!!
Or those ones that automatically lock so if you forget, you have to get an employee to let you back in. Especially embarrassing if you're trying on underwear or something.
I would prefer death.
@@ladyclassicalwrites Wait, where you live there are _locks_ on public dressing rooms in clothing stores??? Not just a swinging-both-ways door like in old Wild West saloons? With a hand-width gap between the door and frame? And yeah, the gap at the bottom of the door, of course.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog Uh, they do have the gap at the bottom, but they have locks and no gaps on the doors. Isn’t that normal?
And we have to have some toilet paper areas but just to be clear we have a case around them so it can't be removed from the wall so that way it can't be changed so that way it needs to be completely deconstructed and reconstructed so for the time being you’ll have to use another stall but if they’re working on multiples, you’ll have to go to a different bathroom
“Sometimes people drop stinkers” about killed me 🤣🤣🤣
