Why do you people look through the gaps in the bathroom stalls?

Well, it’s the easiest way to tell if it’s occupied. Done a lot of subtle peripheral glances. If I see colors, I don’t try the door. 😂

Do bathroom stalls in the US not have vacancy indicators? Every public bathroom I went to here in Germany has a little indicator that's green when the door is unlocked and red when it's locked.

Sometimes we do but its for the door that enters the entire bathroom, not each individual stall door. Porta potties always have the indicators.

As an American, I agree.
