Meanwhile, the excessively flatulent person in the next stall launches through the ceiling due to an unexpected blue angel.
Aren’t the stall walls usually made of wood? Unless I missed something, I’m fairly certain that wood burns.
I think it was probably harmless, and calling her a DARWIN AWARD candidate is a bit over the top. Cripes almighty, she lit toilet paper for a reason, I assume knowing she could quickly put it out.
Put me in the corner with Fenris.

Wood? Every stall wall I’ve ever seen has been metal.
Perhaps there’s GENDER BIAS in BATHROOM DESIGN!!!
:eek:
Fenris
Being in the corner with Fenris ain’t so bad…
Yeah, I understand the point of the rant. And it is a little silly to light fires in bathrooms. But Fenris has a point - it’s no real danger, and all things considered, there are a lot worse things that are done in bathrooms. Think “incontinent angry howler monkey”.
(Fenris, they normally aren’t wood in the ladies’. In the average workplace or McDonald’s, they typically are Italian marble or granite. The attendants in the bathroom at Wendy’s, however, told me that theirs was hand-polished Etruscan malachite. Well, I don’t know if that’s true, all I know is it sure was green…)
I doubt it Fenris, every stall I’ve been in was metal.
Except the ones at this weird little country type store that thought it was an antique shop.
Theirs were metal covered with wallpaper.
I guess so one will not be wiping their ass on the walls…?
Am I the only person who has seen these mysterious wooden stalls???
I’ve never heard of burning papers as a method of getting rid of the smell. Lysol could take care of that just as effectively.
Yes, Guin, next time tell her to set a match to some Lysol!

I know, I guess looking back now, it seems I flipped out a little, but it still seemed like an incredibly stupid thing to do.
The stalls-if I’m not mistaken, it’s Carerra glass.
Oh well, it could be worse. Once, when I first started at Kmart, someone came up to my register and said, “There’s a fire in the lobby.” I went to the inside doors (between the two sets of doors, where the kiddy gumball machines are), and someone had thrown a lit cigarette into a trash can, and it was burning. DAAAAMMMM!!! Luckily, there was a leftover slushy someone had tossed in there, so I was able to throw it over the flame before it got out of hand.
I’ve seen them, uhm, everywhere.
Metal stalls make me think of very horrible public ones. Or prison. Not that I’ve been there.
I’ve come across them many times.
You must patronize classier places than the rest of us lowlifes. 
The stall walls in my college dormitory are wood. But I only remember that because I’ve read the graffiti so many times, and can see it was carved in wood. I generally don’t notice what the stalls are made of.
The only wooden stalls I’ve ever seen were at this one Mexican restaurant in Reston. Everywhere else, they are metal.
I’m with Fenris on this one. I don’t see the big deal. Yeah, smoke is annoying, and for that reason lighting toilet paper is a bit much… but lighting a match is no biggie at all as far as I can see. And the TP is only annoying because of the smokiness.
No, lots of folks have seen them. However, it’s all just anecdotal evidence, and CSICOP demands rigorous laboratory studies.
This person was in the handicapped stall. Could this perhaps explain some inordinate behavior?
Same here, but with high school. Everywhere else, metal.
"I got out of the handicapped stall and this guy in a wheelchair was sitting, squirming, and he yells at me, ‘You’re not handicapped!’ I said to him, ‘No, but I was before I went in there.’ " - George Carlin
Ba-doom-chish!
