There's a restaurant on the San Antonio riverwalk with a strange men's bathroom. The door is partially glass and the stall door is not very tall and facing the door. While sitting, you can see over the stall door and into the dining room of the restaurant.

Awkwardest poop of my life, staring at a stranger while they were eating.

In parts of the mall in Bellevue Square (Bellevue, Washington) there are only half-doors in the mens room. So everyone who walks by can see right into the stall, and while sitting down you watch all the bathroom traffic walk by. Extremely awkward.

I haven't seen those before. Must have used different restrooms there.

I must see this for myself. What restaurant is this??

It was a Tex-Mex steakhouse-ish place if I remember correctly. It was about three years ago and I don't remember the name, but I'll see what I can find/recognize.

EDIT: It's called the Republic of Texas Restaurant. It's the one on the left here.

Tex mex in san antonio. That narrows down the possibilities.

I had a nightmare like this once. Wow, come to think of it, a lot of my nightmares involve strangers seeing me poop. ... goes off to ponder...

[–]dingle_hopper1981 6 points7 points ago

me too! Usually I turn around and there's no wall behind the toilet anymore, just a room full of people. OP's photo is my nightmare fuel.

According to the dream stuff I've read, a lot of times this has to do with emotions that you aren't letting out...

[–]dingle_hopper1981 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Or bowel movements.

But seriously, it's been a long-running theme in my nightmares ever since I was little. Got any more info on this I can look up?

[–]sasseriansection 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a whole mess of specifics on poop in dreams, but here's the common fiber that runs through all of it:

To dream that you have a bowel movement signifies that you are successfully getting rid of your old habits/ways and thinking patterns. It is usually analogous to the release of strong emotions, such as anger or hatred.

To dream that you have a bowel movement in a public place suggests that you are expressing regret about something that you said. You may have spoken your mind a little too loudly

From dreammoods.com, but most other dream dictionaries I've seen are similar.

Granted this isn't scientific or anything, and the only reason I know is because it's also a common theme in my dreams, and in my case it fits cause I'm pretty guarded so far as emotion and feelings go. Though if you were on that prank show where they do indeed drop all the walls of the bathroom in a public place I'd say that's the more likely cause.

TL;DR: Don't fall asleep with a Dirty Jobs marathon on the tele

I don't think that's what my dreams are about, it doesn't sit right, and in most of the dreams I was just sitting there, not doing anything. It seemed to me it's something about being exposed in a time and place that it private, when you're at you're most vulnerable.

[–]sasseriansection 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah you really have to go with what feels like a proper explanation for it and how the mental images relate to yourself. The bathroom entry on that site does mention that a public bathroom with no stalls or a lot of people around does relate to feeling like you lack personal space and privacy.

Also a similar dream, with interpretation

Not that I believe this is all true, but if it's recurring I do believe it's your mind nudging you that there's an issue that needs to be looked at.

My nightmares are about being in a space suit and losing my tether to the ship so that I drift off into space, knowing that there's no way I can get back to the ship and that I'll slowly die of CO2 poisoning as my oxygen runs out, unable to do anything about it, while I watch my ship gradually shrink into the distance until it is indistinguishable from background stars.

Dreams about being embarrassed in public are just unpleasant.

I generally stand on the seat and drop some loaf. My goal is to create a big enough splash to get my socks wet.This makes so much sense to me.

I think they should make stalls more friendly. They would do this by constructing your typical stall, but halfway up there is plexiglass that way you can be social to your fellow shitters.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I don't see the problem. They can see your dick, but they can't see your face :-P.

If you look closely you can see the old marks when the doors were installed at the proper height.

[–]KarmakazeNZ 0 points1 point ago

But you can see any walls between the stalls.

[–]Daxtotomor 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

there's also no wall in between the toilets so you can have a lovely conversation to the person next to you.

[–]knudow 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You have to choose between closing the door and seeing your neighbours, or opening the door to hide you from your neighbours (on the right) but not from the people in front of you

[–]KarmakazeNZ 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, you don't get that choice because all the doors open outwards.

[–]knudow 0 points1 point ago

Ehm... there is an open door on the picture... and it's inwards.

Identity is still safe. Unless this is in a workplace, where they will surely know your shoes, and now that I think about it, what's the point anyway?

I had to shit really bad while trekking around Europe. I don't remember what country it was, Italy maybe, but I encountered this situation. Except it was only 1 of the stalls out of 4 or 5. They were all occupied, and of course the first one to open up was that one. He pooped in turbo mode, I believe.

The weirdest part would be sitting next to someone, you could see eveyrthing except their face. imagine looking over while they are wiping their ass.

I have had actual nightmares that include toilets like this that are not covered all the way down. I never knew any actually existed. That is even more terrifying.

Note: the entire nightmare is not about the toilets, they just happen to be a part of them.

My middle school had toilets like that, but not as exaggerated. You could see the person sitting but very little of the torso. Needless to say I refused to drink anything at lunch so I wouldn't have to use the bathroom.

Not really, no. The seat is raised because men generally try to pee with the seat down and spray it all over.

Because obviously looking at that image for 5 seconds doesn't tell you the doors were removed then re-installed higher as a prank.

So, Mr Observant...

Did you not notice the total lack of a wall between the stalls? Did they steal those for a prank too?

this reminds me of a tail from my highschool. there was a girl who had finished basketball practice and was the last one in the locker room, so she decided to take a shower. however, there was a boys basketball game later that night and the visiting team were supposed to use the girls locker room to change.
so here she is, naked and covered in soap, when she hears a large group of males come in. she freaks out, because she had left her towel on the bench near her locker 20 feet away, and only has a small rag with her. so she covers her face with the rag and sprints past all the boys stark naked out to her car

I went to a Chinese restaurant once, and the stall doors were like this. Since there was no one else in the bathroom, I made my sister guard the outside door while I peed, and I did the same for her. Kind of freaked me out though...
