You! I like you :)

you see that in australia..

And (and I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this) unfortunately, I've seen and read about a lot of cases where veterans (and especially their spouses, for some reason) become extremely entitled. I completely agree with the quote from Bojack Horseman "Maybe some of the troops are heroes but not automatically" where he goes on to say that people can be jerks, and giving a jerk a gun and a title doesn't make them not a jerk. I respect the fact you fought for your country, but I'm not going to respect you if you're an entitled jerk. xP

And they "make" kids pledge their allegiance to it. Not to our country or fellow Americans, but a flag.

When you are on the loo and you make accidental eye contact with someone outside your cubicle, that should tell you that the gaps around the doors are too big.

It's interesting how often I see this, since I've seen been places in Europe where there is no door at all. In Carcassonne there was just a hole in the floor and a rope to hang onto.

The US has the Bikinis of the toilet door world.

OK but how else can I make my toddler climb out from under my stall door and into the next stall to get me toilet paper if I don’t realize that my stall is already out? Lol

33 year old born and raised American here. Trust me, this drives us insane too.

If we have full size toilet stalls, how do we fund endless war? Think about it. 😒

Darn, you people are so sheepish about your bodies. As a young un in OKC we used to go to a huge all you could drink beer bar, and the men's bathroom had a 20 meter long horse trough to pee in.

I have no clue why this is done, it is stupid.

Doors designed by perverted old men.

Honestly I've never had a problem with this, I'm am American and I like my privacy but I've never thought the gaps around doors were that big... At least where I live you'd have to really make an effort to see through them

I'd appreciate it, if the person installing the door would care just a little bit about doing a good enough job in lining up the latch to the socket. Just about every bathroom stall I've ever been, you can't lock it because of poor workmanship.

why the F**k would you be looking

Doors Designed by perverted old men

I think most Americans agree with this!

You definitely get used to it. I thought it was to help someone who might be stuck. Plus, I've helped out a fellow bathroom buddy if they haven't had toilet paper or sanitary item. They ask and you can pass it under the stall. Also, I can't imagine the suffocating funk if it was entirely enclosed and needing to use the stall right after someone destroyed it. I'm just greatful there is toilet paper and it isn't a squat toilet hole in the floor. I would love a bidet option though.

whoever made the current design the standard is definitely a Perv.

Public bathrooms in Canada have similar problem

Took me a while to get used to this when I first moved from Italy. 😅

I have no idea why they do this . I'm assuming it's cheaper somehow to make them this way vs making it so there isn't a space .

I think there's a reason for this, but I don't remember. I think because you won't take so long if you're uncomfortable

Many public toilets have added privacy strips (I wish they were all that way). The reason for the gap on the floor (if you notice the floor drain in the photo) is to allow for power washing. Its also easier to mop with a space. Now that men are allowed in ladies rooms I suspect we'll see more floor to ceiling stalls.

Mostly true.

I guess I should consider myself lucky by moving to a place where I can walk in the states. I don't like driving (anxiety, can't pump gas). It's a semi-urban place.

Great, I suppose.. I, a swede, would hate it though. Not people being nice, just people invading my personal space. 😂

One of the things I miss most of all about the USA!

3 hours wouldn't even get me out of state.

Absolutely! Lawyers billboards, TV ads, subway ads, bus ads incentivating people to sue everyone for every reason is simply disgusting. Let alone those advertising in spanish as your "abogado". Simply ridiculous. Easy to understand if someone says the US Legal system is overwhelmed.

This depends on where in America you are. I remember going to an area in the "bible belt" for the first time and it was also a culture shock for me lol.

Awwww... this one is USA nice.

The only reason it works is because most of the USA is built in a grid system. So you come to a 90 degree angle crossroads and you can make a right on red. It does not and cannot work on older streets where roads do not meet at a right angle, or when there are more than four roads meeting at the junction.

That only matters for a very few colleges, and I am in a position to say that the education you get at Ivy League colleges is NOT superior to the education at other universities. It's just that it will open doors for you by other people who are part of the elite club. If it's not one of these elite colleges, it really doesn't matter where you go.

Tipping is really, really important, because US laws allow for servers to be paid around $2 an hour (which is just so wrong to begin with). So not only do they need the tips to stand a chance of making a living wage, but they are also taxed on those tips because it is ASSUMED that they will get them. So if you don't tip someone, they actually lose money. It's a really bad system, but while it exists, please plan to tip in the USA.

then you've never worked in brisbane, australia. we don't have DLS, and most people like working from 4am when it's bright and light ;)

Same in the UK for any channel that isn't BBC (Itv is the worst for adverts. xD)

That's not cheese.

This one is a catch 22. The reason usually given for not putting in sidewalks is that "nobody walks there." Well, no, not without sidewalks they don't!

When I was a kid in the 70's/80's, at the roller skating rink, we used to get suicides. A suicide was every flavor of fountain soda mixed in a cup with ice. So tasty!

Wait, you don't have them somewhere? In Poland significant part of commercials on tv are painkillers, anti-flu pills and so on.
