I’ve dedicated an uncomfortable amount of time to this, and let me tell you, the state of public restrooms is in DECLINE.
First, we need to address the stall gaps. Ever make awkward eye contact through that sliver of space between the door and the wall? Yeah, me too. It’s an unspoken horror we all share.
Secondly, the sinks. Automatic faucets that spit water with the power of a shy whisper. You move your hands a millimeter out of the sensor’s fickle detection range, and you're left sputtering soap into your palms like some soap opera tragedy.
Don't get me started on the dryers. If they work, they're about as effective as blowing on your hands yourself.
To conclude my extensive observations, it's pretty clear that public restrooms are a silent cry for help wrapped in tile and cheap metal partitions. Bathroom designers of the world, get on it. Humans deserve better.
Stall gaps are legit the portal to my social anxiety. Like, why do I need to share a moment of eye contact while in my most vulnerable state?? Do they want us to pass secret messages like spies or smth?
