    At my school no one took shits because if you did anyone else in the bathroom would laugh and call you out by name if they could figure out who was in the stall “HAHA he’s taking a shit in there!” I was so self concious about it until senior year when I stopped caring about it

      Yup and my wife is constantly complaining that my son and I won’t poop in public. It’s a childhood trauma that nobody wants to recognize and prevent. Men’s bathrooms should by code be floor to ceiling and private, especially in schools.

        I don’t know what the US obsession is with giving anyone the option to crawl under or climb over a stall door.

        I don’t know what the US obsession is with making us hear and smell our bathroom stall neighbors either.

        Maybe it’s a lack of a ventilation system why the doors have gaps? I am from Europe where the gaps are not as excessive as in the US, still they exist and the trauma is real.
