Ridiculous Bathroom Part 1
I've seen some poorly designed bathrooms, and I'm not referring to their choice of wallpaper. I mean they have structural aspects that seem . . . inappropriate. These include a stall with a big window in it, stalls not suitable for tall people and a naked toilet without a stall (in a multi-toilet bathroom).
Part 1: Bathroom for Peeping Toms
I once entered a bathroom stall and felt there was something a bit off about it. It was very well-lit, breezy and good god! had a giant 4 foot x 4 foot window in it. The bathroom was on the third floor of the building, and the big window was directly across the window of another building very close by. At least the bathroom was not on the ground floor, where every passerby could glance in.
As I puzzled over what moron would design a woman's bathroom this way I realized this was not the original design.
I came to the conclusion the building was old and the bathroom was not built to accomodate the disabled. Later, to bring everything up to code they had to make a wheelchair-accessible stall. The easiest way to do this was to make one of the stalls bigger. They achieved this by extending the stall along the wall until it happened to include the big window.
So, that's understandable. But couldn't they have at least frosted the windows?
