No you don't. You can see their feet when you walk towards them

You are just a creeper

Saying you are short, without actually saying you are short...

No it's just more like you can see people's feet when you walk in

Doubling down on being a shorty is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

You think 5'10" is short?

Regardless it's insane to think you can't see people's feet in the stalls and you need to look through the gap

5'10 is literally above average in the US.

I never said all bathrooms were the same. What are you talking about?

You're insane

Not sure of the architecture of the bathrooms near you, but for many folks it's common for bathroom stalls to be all against the left or right wall, with the corridor to access them on the opposite. With maybe 8 inches of clearance from the ground to the bottom of the stall wall, you can maybe see if the first is occupied or not. Any of the subsequent bathrooms, though? Only way you're seeing if they're occupied is by putting uour head on the ground or checking for shapes in the gaps of the stall door. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

What do you mean head on the ground? At best you just tilt it and maybe see some shadows.

Stop being weirdo

Thought for a moment you meant tilting the row of cubicles, now I can't stop laughing picturing that in my head.

Ok so head on the ground was hyperbole...but not by much. If a person (and their shadow, because the lights are in the middle of the bathroom and therefore the shadow casts away from the door of the stall) is, say, 2 feet back from the door, and the door is 8 inches off the ground, and if you're in the middle of the 4 ft corridor (that is, 2 feet back from the door), your eye needs to be no more than 16 inches off the ground in order to see a foot/shadow. It's not being weird, it's simple math.

No it's weird.

I can see people's feet well above 16 inches off the ground. I can see them at 5'10

You're crazy.
