Sometimes, bathrooms have transparent stall doors.

So that was interesting.

Went to a restaurant with a large group of friends today, after sleeping off a long night of me not drinking because I thought I was going to drive home. It was a Vietnamese place, with alright food with interesting art on the walls.

I had to pee, so I made my way into the ladies' room. I thought the heavily fogged glass in the doors to the restrooms were interesting. They were one way glass, so you could see people coming in to the room so you don't hit them with the door.

Then I noticed, the doors on the stalls were also glass, but you couldn't see out of them. I did my business, the other woman there left, I stood up, tucked, then a thought occurred to me.

"Wait."

I opened the door, stuck my head outside the stall, and waved my hand behind the glass.

They're one way glass. To see in.

My jaw dropped. I washed my hands, and walked back in to the dining room laughing my ass off. At the end of the meal, I dragged my one female friend into the ladies' room to see how well a photograph would show up through the glass.

She snapped a rather amazing picture of a foggy, shadowy me flashing the camera through the god damn bathroom door.

As hilarious as we thought that was, I'm *really* glad the other lady left before I had to do my tuck. That would have been terribly embarrassing, as you can see ALL MOVEMENT in the stall.

thats so odd

do you think they made a mistake and it was supposed to be the other way around? so that you can see people and not hit them on your way out of the stall?

They surely must have made a mistake there. Why would people not want to see out but allow people to see in?! Haha. Weird.

Not only is that rather strange, but me thinks it would be illegal  ???

Kinda like some changing room doors that are slats.  If they slat them the wrong way, you can't see out, but everyone else can see in.

Me thinks someone put the doors on back to front :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think being able to see someone use the loo, when they have not agreed to it,  is an invasion of privacy.

I'd tell the management BTW; they may not have realised and people are open to being embarrassed.

Wonder if the boys room is the same :laugh: :laugh:

It wouldn't surprise me if the people owning the resturant have been ripped off by a bunch of cowboy builders.

You didn't say of the resturant is new, or recently refurbished.

It is very sad when this sort of thing happens. I recall a case a while back where an Islamic resturant had some basic air con installed. Someone decided it would be a laugh to leave strips of bacon inside the air con cavities.

Personally, I think it was not just mean and curel, it was also illegal. But the nature of cowboy builders is that they are rarely around after.

Hopefully the resturant will have enough funds left over to get this problems fixed quickly.

I might go back later; the food was actually pretty good and the deserts (creme broulee in particular) were ridiculously awesome. The womens' room was a two stall setup, where the regular stall had you sitting back just a couple of feet from the door and the handicapped stall gets you completely out of the way... so in the handicapped stall, it doesn't matter. I didn't think to sit down on the other toilet and see what my friend could see, which is the real test... but still, I too think the doors got installed with backwards glass.

The first thing my gay friend asked was "Is the mens' room the same way?"

Psh.
