Well, yeah, if you're pissing blood, switching bathrooms isn't going to help.

it's more so you know who to watch out for if you are actually able to make eye contact with whoever the poor soul is who makes this a problem for you

i've seen some dumb urinal dividers in Europe, like they were there for show and way too low and the line of sight to another's junk was clear, never seen a nonsense urinal divider in the good ol USA

Why is that guy's shoe off in the public bathroom?

I worked at a company that had a gap so wide in one of the stalls that I had to use my sport coat to block the gap. It was the worst I've ever seen. The gap at the bottom was so high, that I had to keep my trousers all the way up to the toilet to block my unmentionables. I had a method for hanging my coat on the handle and then wedging part of it into the corner so that I didn't have to see people staring at me.

I've not seen many urinal dividers in the US. We usually just piss in full view. I even remember a urinal trough at a grain elevator that was round and doubled as a hand washing station. There was a foot pedal for water and soap above. It's basically pissing in a sink where everyone can see each-others dicks.

Found a picture of one.

Four way stop signs that look like regular stop signs. Which is almost all four way stop signs.

is this seriously a thing? What does everyone do when they are stopped? why wouldn't you just put a roundabout in like every other country?

Double adaptors and powerboards that block the on off switch. Chargers that have the cable come out the side rather than the end so you can't plug anything into the outlet next to it.

there are some roundabouts in the US but nobody know to use them so it's usually a massive failure. to be fair they didnt teach roundabouts when i was learning to drive here.

4 way stops suck. if you're lucky, that tiny sign that says "all way" underneath the main octagon but a lot of time they are missing for some reason for another so generally the best way to tell if it's a 4-way is to look at all the ends of the intersection and make sure they appear to have stop signs too

when people arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time, whoever got there first goes first. a lot of times it is ambiguous when you pull up at the same time and in that situation eventually somebody will take the initiative and just go. they're not dangerous, just horribly stupid and cause massive traffic congestion whenever they're used at critical intersections that really should have a light.

Can't stop laughing. Literally a piss fountain. Wtf. What company makes this.

Edit: the designer better be gay I can think of no other rational explanation. "Well you know, a circle saves space and putting it in the middle of the room shaves off a full five minutes per day."

you look to your left and if there is a car coming then you stop. If there isn't a car coming then you drive through

i get it. it's really simple. i'm just saying in the US whenever i encounter them (which is rare) usually if there are other people on the roundabout they're doing something wrong. for eg. lots of people stop or slow down in the round when they see someone waiting ahead at one of the entry points in order to let them in.

That Swindon roundabout- what the gently caress- has science gone too far?

here is a terrible "design" straight from a house i was renting previously. in the kitchen, for some inexplicable reason, they made the floor out of this natural stone that creates a rough, completely uneven surface with lots of variation. the bathroom is the same way but it's more of a problem in the kitchen.

i've never seen indoor flooring like this (go figure). it has literally no advantage over tile or whatever else you might use. it looks terrible. it hurts to walk on, some of the edges of the rock cropping up are actually somewhat sharp (not enough to draw blood or anything but still), it gets cold as poo poo in the winter, and if you drop something that isn't plastic you can pretty much loving say goodbye to it.

and when it comes time to clean up after a meal or god forbid... you dropped a glass tray full of food or beer? hahaha have fun digging bits glass out of every single crevice fucko and getting down on your hands and knees with a rag because this poo poo renders all modern cleaning appliances useless. good luck pushing a broom, mop, or vacuum cleaner over this bullshit.



it's probably a little dirty in this pic but that was about as good as you could get them looking

Speaking of weird bathroom stall poo poo, my old high school removed the privacy doors for the men's sit-down toilets after a kid was caught jerkin it in there. Mind you, he was caught while the doors were still up so I don't know what removing them could possibly have accomplished. Thank God I never once had to poop while I was in public school.
