The Fear Is Real: Lack Of Privacy In Public Restrooms Here In MT

When you have to use the restroom in public it is always an adventure. Is there a stall open? Is it super gross? Is there a massive line that makes you panic and do the pee dance? Can people see me once I am in the stall? These are all real fears and problems. It's 2025. Is it weird we haven't already changed this? This is not just a Montana issue this is a worldwide restroom problem.

A new poll online found 72% of Americans don't feel like they have the proper privacy in public bathroom stalls, and here is why. They feel that someone could take a little peek in through those weirdly large gaps in the door at any given moment.

According to PRN News Wire 53% of people say we should eliminate the gaps in bathroom stall doors.  45% also prefer it when the door goes all the way to the ground. I agree with that 100%. I admit it I am one of those people who check out your shoes and get grossed out when I see you purse on the floor. Hands down one the grossest floors around is a public bathroom floor. Now the ick is on your purse.

86% wish bathrooms in high-traffic areas had a display outside of them that would show how many stalls are open.  So, kind of the way parking garages do it in some states. 3 stalls are open and ready for you to park it!

While 47% would also like to add TIMERS to the top of each and every stall, so that you could see how long someone has been in there! That is just too much. Hurry up stall #3 we can see you have been in there for 17 minutes and 42 seconds! Everything ok in there? That is a little invasive if you ask me. No need to time someone when they are doing what they need to do!

This does sound a little on the crazy side but there are already places in the world who do this! China has already installed timers. So, it is only a matter a time before this expands worldwide. Time in the bathroom rather it is at your house or in public should be personal not time not everyone's business while you are doing your business!
