Typically in a house doors open into rooms because having an opaque door that opens out into a hallway is a recipe for people getting a door to the face, and is just generally annoying (since you can't leave a door open without blocking the hallway). Sometimes there's an exception for the toilet if it's in a very small room, but if you have room to put a vanity in (so people can wash their hands before opening the door) you probably have room for the door to open inwards as well. Or just use a sliding door.

The only doors I have to that open outward (in respect to being outside of the space they are a a door to), is to a utility closet with my water treatment stuff in it and my linen/towel closet.

I was in a bar not too long ago and needed to take a poo poo, so I walk into the men's bathroom, which had no lock, and no doorknob even, it was just push to open. Imagine my surprise when I find this situation. Needless to say, I went to find another bathroom.

Megabound posted:Had some strange toilet placement in a hotel I stayed at recently I had one like this in Italy, except the entire bathroom was the size of the space of the shower. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how not to soak the entire bathroom trying to shower, then gave up and took a very awkward shower while dodging all the fixtures (nothing resembling a shower curtain).

It's normal here (or at least very common) for houses that aren't shoebox apartments to have the toilet in one room and the sink/bath/shower in another.

My tiny apartment has a sliding door on the bathroom and it works really well. The door sort of disappears into the wall when it is open, so it takes up no space at all.  Like this. The downside is you can't drive a nail through that part of the wall because the door is in there. And it's probably a bit of a pain to instal the kind that disappear into an existing wall, you'd have to tear out part of the wall and reframe it.

So how would fire code like those sliding doors? 'cause I thought one of the reasons doors had to open the way they did was "This is the side people are on if they're trying to leave, so if something's blocking the door they can push it out of the way"

^ uh yeah if you're in a firefighting situation who gives a poo poo at this point it's a pocket door y'all they are everywhere. My apartment in NYC, land of the closest thing to a legitimate manifestation of idiots' fear of government overreach, has a pocket door for a bathroom. It rules. It also has pocket French doors for the dining room which also rule. Thick enough walls contain each that you can even mount stuff to them with tacks.

Are you talking about equipment like crash bars?

But what if a cat gets stuck in your wall. It'll prevent the door from opening and you'll be trapped in the bathroom.

Facebook Aunt posted:My tiny apartment has a sliding door on the bathroom and it works really well. The door sort of disappears into the wall when it is open, so it takes up no space at all. Yeah, this is my house, kind of. We have the Master Bedroom with it's own sink, then a normal door that opens inward, the terlet (COMPLETE WITH A GODDAMN SKYLIGHT), then a pocket door, and then the shower with two more sinks. Exit from that side is via a normal inward swinging door. So, when all the doors are open, you can pass from the Master Bedroom to the hallway unobstructed. If all, or any single door is closed, we have an alternate door in the Master Bedroom that bypasses the bathroom chain completely, leading to the main hallway. And that's the newer half. The old 117 year old part has one bathroom, and two bedrooms. There are primary doors from the bedroom that lead to the main hallway. In addition, each of the two bedrooms are connected with a door (i.e. like some hotel rooms). I was told this was for servants to move from bedroom to bedroom without being seen in the main hallway. There are two additional bedrooms that don't have these doors, and due to the later addition one of the smaller, bedrooms is now a glorified hallway leading to the newer addition hallway. The second floor of my house is a really cool logic puzzle. The first floor is more normal. My house is weird.

Ol Standard Retard posted:^ uh yeah if you're in a firefighting situation who gives a poo poo at this point My friend's place in Philly has a sliding bathroom door for the hall bathroom. But it's not a pocket door, it literally just hangs from a rail sticking a bit out from the wall and slides open. Sort of like a sliding closet door, except there's no bottom rail, so it just sort of flaps there, and at best there's like a 3/4" gap so it's awful for actual privacy. And there's no way to lock it. So it's great at parties.

didn't mean "lol firefighters too stupid to smash doors!!!!", I meant if a person was in the bathroom and the door opened outwards, the hallrubble might block and be unable to be unblocked by the person who's trapped in the room. Sliding door seems like it might have something get in the jam and then welp good luck hope you don't die of smoke inhalation by the time the firefighter gets in with an axe.
