What you're seeing here is numbered doors of toilet stalls.

This picture is from the inside of a restroom area, so any gender icons would be the outside of any door in here anyway.

ytf do they number their stalls? is it like: "help, my zipper's stuck! I'm in stall oo. Whatever you do, don't go into stall o!"

"where did you say you were?"

(sighs) "stall oo, toilet |||, co-sharing toilet roll ~~~. Hurry!"

"Hey Randy, grab the bucket, someone's had explosive diarrhea all over stall three again."

Putting in a support ticket. "Flushing problem in stall two of the toilets on the second floor."

So Randy doesn't need to go through all the flushes to find the broken one.

I read "stall oo" in my head pronounced like in "food" which is hilariously useless information for those needs

Stalloo! Stalloo! A-hunting we shall go!

Some people take a long time - why would a restaurant leave that market untapped? Everyone gets snacky sometimes

Easy identification by cleanup or maintenance crew, I'd gather

I fuckin knew it! I immediately assumed it was a stupid numbing scheme, I've been in way too many restaurants/bars/pubs...

This is confusing as I've never seen a toilet stall that is just a regular room, rather than a cubicle divider thing

The airport near Stockholm. Private little rooms. Everyone has a loo and a sink and room to change. It's so humane.

I mean if the sink was in the same room as the toilet, I would understand, separate rooms is very strange though

I use the handicapped stall at work for that privacy. Need to do a little song and dance to get my clothes and tool belt arranged, and I get my own sink.

For any haters, as the handicapped say, it's accessible, not reserved. (And not many handicapped folks in a hardware store.)

Most hotels, restaurants, and cafés in Europe have singular private stalls like this.

Gas stations, clubs, airports and schools might have a big restroom with dividers, but if they are fancy enough they might still have private rooms.

Public toilets and campsites rarely have private rooms.

That's how most public toilets are. Who the fuck wants to be in cubicle to do their private business?
