I may be wrong, but you can tell that this isn't in the US because the doors actually seem to go all the way to the floor.

It's probably also the kind of fancy glass you can get to go foggy on command (hopefully it's fail foggy, i.e. needs a small charge to be clear) so that when you latch the door the stall becomes private.

I’m sure that’s what it is, but I would be soooooooo uncomfortable either way.

I would love this!

I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I'm checking whether the stall is occupied.

Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

Those locks with that show occupied when the latch is closed achieve the same thing without the need of the smart glass

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but the glass is immediately noticable from anywhere in the bathroom. I don't have to walk up to each door to see the latch position.

[–] x4740N 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have issue with quickly glancing over at the doors to see which ones are occupied

It's literally not going to take you that ling tobwalk close enough to the doors and glance at them

Just do like my ex-coworkers and go mental on every doorhandle untill they find an empty stall. It's probably to scare the shit out of me, to make it go faster.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just have a latch that can only be closed from the inside. That's what I've always seen in public bathrooms.

I was thinking more that this is probably a prison

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That was my immediate thought as well. Like they have fogging glass, but nasty ass toilets with optional toilet seat?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't get me started on American public toilets.

Gap under door. Gap between doors. Turd shelf toilet bowl.

Turd shelf toilet bowl?

These are the new and updated "American Privacy Toilets^TM ", where past complaints of doors not reaching all the way to the floor and ceiling has been addressed and tolerances have been adjusted to avoid other people from peeking in.

“Your privacy is important to us” and “We care about your privacy.”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

We always keep an eye on your privacy

Ahh yes a company that truly understands transparency

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

So transparent attackers open sourced private information

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

The most used lie is "I've read the TOS and PP" before clicking in "Accept", the biggest joke is the sentence with which start every PP "Your privacy is very important for us".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m guessing that these are the kind that fog as soon as the doors locked.

[–] madcaesar 4 points 2 years ago

If true and not Photoshop, what a colossal, awful waste of money and resources. They are fucking public toilets, no-one wants to see that shit... Ever.
