Stall Doors Are For Closing

Let me repeat myself: Stall doors are for closing.

Okay, have I made that clear enough? Now I think most people understand that if they use a stall to sit down for a #1 or #2, they should close the door. But what is apparently not obvious is that the same rule applies even if you are doing a standing pee.

The problem isn’t one of exposure. Standing to pee inside a stall with the door open exposes you less than peeing at the typical urinal. The problem is when the door is slightly ajar – open enough for somebody to think the stall is empty, but closed enough to shield you from view. The result is somebody believing the stall is empty, attempting to access it and either simply creating an awkward situation or slamming the door right into the person peeing.

Either way, it’s a bad idea. Be glad you have a door on that stall, and close it!
