I think American stalls are designed that way specifically to make them less private in the hopes it will keep people from boning or doing drugs in them. Just another facet of American life made worse with puritanical/punitive culture.
You’d think after a lifetime of not actually working in that regard we’d just use a normal fucking door. 🤷🏻♂️
Also, FunFact: if you enter a bathroom in the US and the lighting is really blue: that literally is to stop drug use. Veins are blue, and if the lighting is blue you can’t see them well enough to shoot up.
That’s not the point. If someone is gonna fuck or shoot up in the bathroom they’re going to. The little perv gap we have isn’t gonna change that.
Puritan ideas themselves aren’t really about helping people to be more “pure”. They’re about subjugation, control, and maintaining a patriarchal structure.

Oh it’s not just that, though that is perhaps part of it and is often the excuse. I think it goes deeper and way more psycho-sexual than that.
I’m from Europe and I always assumed that America does that, because it’s the cheapest option by far.

The blue light also doesn’t work. Junkies figured out how to turn on the cell phone flash light.
How do you tie off your arm, light the spoon, fill the syringe and inject yourself while also holding your phone?
Put the phone on something.
What is this magick you speak of‽
Oh so now I have to share my drugs with a phone?
Obviously you’ve never been addicted to heroin.
Then there must be wild drug-fueled orgies happening at Buc-ee’s, but nobody has ever invited me to join.
It’s a truck stop. There’s a lot and it’s sad style not party style
Call it puritanical but why would you want people banging and shooting up in the washroom?

They didn’t say they wanted it.
