[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2762352, member: 19675"] This is a pet peeve of mine: Bathrooms designed or constructed by complete idiots. I first realized this when the American Airlines Center (home of the Dallas Stars...GO STARS!) had to renovate their [I]brand new bathrooms[/I] because the urinals (and some stalls) were in well-lit rooms next to large, plate glass windows- you could watch people taking care of business from anywhere in the parking lot. YAY! :\ Then I started noticing other badly designed bathrooms: 1) Single-person bathrooms with privacy screens. WHY? I was even in one that resulted in spaces so narrow I could support myself[I] off of the ground[/I] between the wall and screen...by just wedging my shoulders. (For the record, I'm 5'7", 240lbs- not small, but no giant either.) 2) Bathrooms in which the arrangement is Door/Urinal/Privacy Screen/Sink/Stall. Someone washing their hands is screened from scrutiny from the hallways when the door opens, but they get treated to a full-on view of me emptying my kidneys- was this room designed by a voyeur? 3) Bathrooms in which the sink is outside the bathroom? 4) Bathrooms in which both trough-style urinals and sinks are used. [B] Drunks cannot tell the difference![/B] 5) And all across the world- even in so-called 1st world nations, even in big cities...please- get rid of the "abyssal hole in the ground" style bathroom! I've seen them in Cannes & Nice (France), Moscow (Russia)...don't tell me those cities don't have the money to replace them. [/QUOTE]
