Ridiculous Bathroom Part 2

For another poorly designed bathroom: Part 1

Part 2: Hobbit Stalls

The usual bathroom stall dividers are tall enough to prevent you from seeing the people in the stalls (except for their feet) for obvious reasons.

However, I was once in a public restroom where the dividers only came up to about neck-level. I am not freakishly tall, so don't blame this on my physiology.

Although you couldn't see anything from the neck down (and thus the very private things remained private), it was still very disconcerting to turn to your right and suddenly say hello to your neighbor.

At least the stalls were reasonably wide. The only thing more awkward than seeing another human face out of the corner of your eye would have been to know that they were really close to you.

Hey contractors, did you cheap out on materials? Did you hire munchkin architects? Did you decide that women like an audience, like men at urinals?

Whatever it is you did, don't do it again. When I pee I don't want to see anyone else.
