I sure do! Whatever condition your guest room is in will be fine.
'tis a hole in the ground but sure 'tis well ventilated.
I set it between my feet.
Most likely folks whack themselves in the eye or catch their clothes on the hook if it’s that low.
Loved those things! But they had to be replaced fairly frequently so I imagine it got expensive.
The “cubby hole” thing that someone brought up above? I think that’s the little shelf of toilet behind the works - it’s not there on all brands.
The general public is hard on anything they don’t own. If they would quit slamming doors, allowing kids to hang on them or, as I walked in on one late night in a rest area in Wyoming, having sex against the walls, things would work better.
OTOH, if there was more than one handicapped stall and/or they didn’t stick the changing table in there, I wouldn’t be breaking their toilet dispensers by using them to get me up off the pot! :smack:
When I was a skinny little tween, there were bathroom doors at the drive-in movie theatre that I couldn’t close unless I straddled the toilet. And the walls were so narrow, there was barely space to get my legs around the toilet! No handicapped stalls, either (and the line for the bathroom was usually at least 20 people deep, 50+ at intermission).
I was only 11, and very petite at the time. I have no idea how fat people used those restrooms.
I wonder if part of the space issue isn’t because some designer somewhere has a formula that says toilet + average person = X amount of required space. But that handy equation is missing the seven inch wide industrial toilet paper dispenser and in women’s restrooms, the 4 inch wide trash bin for menstrual detritus. Our stalls at work are all like this, roomy enough if the extras weren’t in there taking up space. So we all just use the handicapped stalls, which is alright because there aren’t any obviously handicapped people in our entire building. The restrooms are accessible but the rest of the plant isn’t.
Though I think ambivalid has a very valid point, there IS a reason why the hinges swing in, rather than out. Two actually, but they have the same reason: Latches break.
If the door swings out into the common space because somebody didn’t close it, enough assholes are going to kick it and those hinges will eventually go. Goodbye door.
Second, if the door went outward, the person who was in there would have nothing to keep assholes from coming in. The poor guy trying to take a dump couldn’t hold the door closed, because, well, it’s facing outwards and out of reach.
Most of the stalls with inward-swinging doors I encounter leave little to no room to stand in between the door and the actual bowl. What’s specially befuddling is that those tend to be in train stations, a place where nobody would expect to find people toting large suitcases, right? Right?
Oh, and in department stores. Apparently they expect you to do your peeing before your shopping, see.
Most malls and larger stores have one or two family size bathrooms for people with children, people in wheelchairs and people who need assistance to use if the handicap stall in the main restroom is insufficient.
