“And let’s add sinks with sensors that will only clean your hands for about 3 seconds and then won’t turn back on.”
That was clearly the brainchild of a germophobe cheapskate who hated the idea of wasting water and touching the tap after you washed
The universe balances this out with the urinals that never stop flushing.
That you have to keep waving your hands under looking like an idiot.
and then they'll pour out water for 2 seconds after you dont need them, even though it waste TONS of water

Don't forget to make sure there is absolutely no ambient noise in the bathroom so you can hear absolutely everything that's happening
I thought this was a joke, but then I found out this is a real thing in the US.
They build them like that to discourage people from using public toilets.
Where people that blast loud music on their smartphone go from disturbing the peace to a public servant
@@thecomposerchanginggames5250 my saviours
Actually ambient music or something wouldn’t be a bad idea 🤔 (no irony here)
western world no privacy at all , glass doors and glass walls a see through house
I feel so bad for American public toilets..
In Korea I even encountered little music boxes to mask the toilet sounds you make THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
Why are everyone else's public bathrooms so much better than ours?
@@amandapanda5087 Partly because politicians won't spend money on their people. Another part is people expecting them to only be used by drug addicts or homeless people. So it mostly comes down to ignorance and greed.
Brilliant idea. I heard those were installed because otherwise people will flush to mask sounds
--> use of water triples.
i'm all in favor of little music boxes. For all that I care, put in little generators that you power every time you push the door open or so.
i live in israel all our public toilets have to be bomb resistant
@@yonatanmonneler1744 You get bombed so often they have to be bomb resistant?
Far more coherent and focused than whatever committee actually designed them.
The motivation here was pretty clear
Committee? It was probably originally designed by just 1 person. 😅
Probably in the same group lol
Shitty committee

Ryan George is my favorite RUclips documentarian.
I am now legit curious what the history was here.
out of all the channels i subscribed to that would watch ryan, Clint was the last person i would have expected
"Oh, he looked through the gap, why did he look through the gap?" Best line in here by far 😄
My high school bathrooms werent tall enough so taller people could just peek in if they wanted to (and I've even seen some doing it)
The doors that separate the toilets from the bathroom area were also too high up for the lock, so whenever you would try to lock the bathroom door, it would bump off the lock because it's at the wrong space. So basically, you had to hold onto the door the entire time while pooping/peeing, and tall guys could look at any time they wanted. It was pure horror.
Rip
clearly they were designed by the Creepy guy.
This why I never use the school washrooms no matter how much I need to go.
It's an honor system
D:
The fact that Ryan made this during spooktober instead of "The guy who invented haunted houses" shows just how terrifying public bathroom stalls are
I can one up it...
One of the bathrooms in my highschool just had cement block walls with no doors.
The walls were also under 3 ft tall.
And no, we were not a poor district. It was an active choice to have absolutely no privacy there.
And no, it wasn't one of the tucked away ones. It was in about the highest-traffic area of the building.
Also, the starewell everyone knew people always smoked in (because it was impossible not to notice the smell) got to keep both its doors.
And no, I WISH I was making that up or exaggerating, and again, highschool...this was done to minors.

3:08 "Sometime people don't drop stinkers" - Ryan George
Wise words
I lived in America for close to 7 years…
In all my time in the USA I avoided public toilets like they were the plague.
Each time, before going out, I made sure I’d evacuated everything I could from my bowels.
Going to a public toilet (not urinal) would have meant I was truly desperate and about -or in the process of- to shit my pants.
Same, except I’ve have been living in America for 12 years, and counting.
I've lived here my whole 33 years, and I do the same thing. I've had many IBS emergencies in which I've had to deal with the terrors of the worst public bathrooms. These also include gas station ones missing toilet paper completely(don't ask). Now, a lot of businesses have closed all public toilets because people leave them in terrible shape and nobody wants to clean them anymore. So I literally put off my entire day sometimes because I never know where I can stop or how bad of shape things will be in.
Once I saw doors not even 1.60 m high. There's hat guys everywhere it seems.
Evacuating your bowels before going out is tight!
I actually partially shit myself in high school because I refused to use public restrooms. Only time I used public restrooms was then, and one other time in a road trip. Long road trip. Diarrhea. It was not fun
I pretty much know almost all of Ryan's clothes and accessories by now.
Yea it's like Pokémon
I'm gonna make this into horse racing, people betting on what outfits will be in the video
@@lapras2397 This is honestly a pretty fun idea.
🔫Oh really, name them all
Oh, so you like Ryan George? Name every accessory.
Also there could be automatic toilets that just kinda flush whenever so it can be a fun surprise game of "will it flush and spray your butt or won't it?"
😂😂😂😭😭
Automatic flushing? you sure it's not a ghost that was just there doing ghost poops when you sat in their lap and did yours?
Just came to be that some guys won't be able to relate to this 😂
It rarely sprays my butt but it always gets real loud and startles the hell outta me. Am I the only one?
It.adds excitement
I've been bringing this up to some of my American friends for years! 🤣 Especially when i hear them complain about the privacy on Facebook or somewhere else online. Them i'm like "dude, why bother about that and not about the fact that people can see you sitting on the toilet while taking a number two? ". I hate US public toilet stalls.
Typical Americans: complain when they opt to hand away their privacy; don't complain when it is forcefully taken from them.
In fairness.... It's just pooping.
Hey, it's not all bad. Sometimes you get painful small talk. Or phone arguments. If you're lucky, you even get a hummer/singer.
In all seriousness, I did have one time where I had to ask for a roll from the stall next to me, as I didn't have time to check to see my own was out. Therefore, I can't say it is 100% negative. Only about 99% bad, kinda like our public transportation!
Pretty sure that's not a good comparison
@@TheReaverOfDarkness Typical dumbass on the internet: complain when they opt to hand away their privacy; don't complain when it is forcefully taken from them.
I have always thought I was the only person on planet earth who had these issues with public toilet designs. Thank you for making me feel less like a crazy person for wanting privacy on the bog.

Don't forget the actual mirror on the ceiling, just to be sure.
Lastly. Lets also make sure the bathrooms are extremely *BRIGHT.* Leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.
That would be indirect eye contact.
@@tombworld9012 who cares bit**
@@raymok5644 Thanks for caring enough to reply!
I remember when I was a teenager, about 16, I caught a creepy guy looking at me through the gap in a bathroom stall. I yelled at him and he scurried away. Weird people like the gap.
I'm sorry to hear that
"But you won't be able to see much through the gap."
"Except if you're walking by the gap as you would be doing and get a panoramic view of the entire stall."
I'd just refuse to leave the stall unless/until my family come
By unless i mean unless my family is there, not unless they come😂
Had a retarded kid try and slide under the divider into my stall to ask what I was doing. That's how you get curb stomped, my man.
The restrooms made by creepy guy make so sense... and it's freaking creepy. Got to love him for making it to where we want change it.
I hear European bathrooms actually have doors that shut without gaps. Truly, the civilized peoples of the world.
not exactly, alot of restrooms here have the same weird gaps, especially in bars and similar.
Cubicle doors here don’t have weird gaps. Was very uncomfortable in a US public toilet when I was there

@@melon9285 I ALWAYS drop a stinker I don't know bout you. Are people going to these public things to NOT drop stinkers???
This was a very accurate portrait of my experience with public bathrooms during my internship in the US. Everything is just bigger there, the roads, cars, gaps in public bathroom stalls, everything. Greets from NL!
As a Brit that surprised me when I went to America. Literally the toilets at the airport I went "I'd heard they were higher at the bottom but that's higher than I thought!"
Just imagining Ryan talking normally is scary. Like, imagine he's talking, but not like in the videos.
Imagine he's talking, but he's the only Ryan in the room, there aren't even any other Ryans with him.
And to someone who is not himself
I think he speaks french
I have done this. It's... an experience.
@@quin.tessential that’s a good point
- Well, we've talked about sight and smell. What do you think we should do about sound in these rooms?
- It might be a nice idea to have the sound of running water - say a babbling brook - or some music playing. Or maybe just some white noise. Doesn't have to be loud, just enough to mask those embarrassing noises people make as they do their business so they feel more comfortable...
- I disagree. I think the room should be as quiet as an anechoic chamber so we can hear every single sound in perfect detail. I want these rooms to be so quiet that when you walk into a restroom in a library, the space outside seems like a rock concert in comparison. I want to be able to hear EVERYTHING - every single tinkle and plop. When someone is wiping themselves with toilet paper, I want it to sound like a hardwood floor being belt-sanded. And let's cover the walls in sound-reflective tiles to amplify and reverberate the sound. Someone taking a dump in glorious high fidelity 10.1 surround sound. That's what I want to hear! And when someone clears their throat, I want the sound to reverberate for a good ten seconds after they stop.
- Really? Could we compromise just a little on this?
- OK, how about we install air dryers that sound like you're standing behind a 747 on the runway at LaGuardia? That way, when they're running you can let it rip in the stall for 20 seconds without having to feel embarrassed.
- But when they stop, won't that actually heighten the quietness and make you more embarrassed to even breathe?
- YES! Wonderful idea.
Good Lord.. This is absolutely creepy and hilarious at the same time.
😂😂
I loved this, but I will have to be "that guy" and note that an anechoic chamber is basically the opposite of the sound-reflective walls concept.
Damn you made me laugh out loud 😂, thank you sir! Side note - i live in Australia and in one of the shopping centres with me, the music that plays in the centre is on in the bathrooms too 😊
I automatically read this in Ryan George's voice, with his monotone inflections on words and comedic timing... This is awesome and accurate
You just made me laugh almost as much as the video did. You should write for pitch meeting.
The most awesome public bathroom I've ever been to was basically a hallway with a row of closet doors. Behind each door was a completely private toilet. I thought to myself, "this was clearly made for me."
But yeah, I often forget we're only one generation removed from that weirdly aggressive anti-privacy anti-comfort mentality that forced young boys to shower together in school. I was fortunate to not be a part of that. We didn't have to shower if we didn't want to but we still had to change in front of each other. There was that weird backwards mentality that declared you were "gay" if you were noticeably uncomfortable.
Sheesh, I'm glad that's not a thing anymore. School are really messed up though
I still have never been to a dressing room anywhere that was private. Or a shower either tbh, there might be a glass divider between the two showers but not a stall. A weird thought for me. I live in Finland though where people are maybe a bit more chill about nudity, with sauna culture and all that. I’m a bit sad that it seems to be changing and influenced by foreign media etc. I would hate if people started being super weird and awkward about nudity and sexualizing it to an excessive extent (like being weird about a 3 year old being in the room when their mom showers or something), which I feel is more the case in.. um.. certain countries 😁
Not everyone is so embarrassed by nudity. Maybe sexualizing nudity is what is backwards.
I once watched a documentary, about a guy that got reject by his girlfriend in front of an entire stadium. Soon people discovered the reason the girl didn't want to marry him, was because his penis was too small.
He went on a journey about the whole penis size stigma. His father said something interesting.
The guy asked if his father also had a small penis and if he and his mom were okay with it. The father said that back in the day, boys usually were naked around each other preety often. Not just in showers and bathrooms, but like bathing in rivers and lakes for fun.
They were okay with their own bodies and penises, because seeing other people naked in a non-sexual way, made nudity natural. The boys saw each others penises and they realise that there's always someone bigger, thicker, smaller, hairer than them.
Nowadays, men don't even see their father or brothers naked, and the only reference for what is normal body or penis is through porn. That doesn't represent the "natural" at all. Which lead to a lot of self-esteem issues.
A naked body is just a naked body. The reason people feel self-conscious, is because they project their own insecurities onto others.
@@enenenergp fyi...I can't imagine many countries more arms-length about family nudity than here in the U.S. but, it IS common for toddlers to see their parents naked. It's a safety issue. You can't just lock an awake toddler out.
just imagine... our great great grandchildren will hopefully get public toilet doors that shut completely to give them privacy and maybe, just maybe, they will get 2 ply toilet paper that didn't have just one square left by the time you need to use it and you discover it after you've dropped a big one...
The origins of Pervy Guy before people noticed that
If brown jacket Ryan isn’t careful, he may get put into a room, I decided.
a small room with NO walls around the bathroom and a large roommate
@@recoveringsoul755 I think he will like that actually
A locked room that he can't leave for awhile, I decided."
And someone else should be in charge of locking and unlocking the door to the room, also we could make a little hole that we can feed him through so he doesn't die
Also a toilet in that room should not have any walls whatsoever so a large roommate get to see everything.
And don’t forget adding “state of the art” motion sensor toilets that flush themselves at least three times while you’re in the middle of doing your business but then won’t flush for the life of you once you actually want to flush them.
I mean, they have the buttons right on the side of them to press manually....
@@ultimamage3 not all of them, and even then a lot of them are very faulty with the buttons, at least from my experience.
@@knyte8706 True, we always have to account for businesses being CHEAP AF when getting their autoflushing toilets and not repairing them. Also that weird phenomenon of every other toilet looking like someone beat the fuck out of it in frustration.
@@ultimamage3 lmao facts tho
Nothing like a little pee water spray on your bumbum.
“How should the sinks be?”
"How about the tap be super short and barelly drop water into the sink bowl?"
"Perfect"
Oh, I hate it when they make it super short, so you're practically rubbing your hands against the sink bowl.
"but we'll add walls"
"Ok but what kind of door?"
"No doors and the walls have to be too slim and short to cover anything, basically planks"
I have been in one bathroom in my life that didn't have doors and that was at a campground. What are you talking about?
I"m convinced most of the world's important decisions are made in that room by those dudes. It would explain a LOT!
The rest of the world has sensible toilet cubicles though.

Missed opportunity, Ryan should have said "honor, or glory system".
the guy who came up with the gap in the stalls idea is the same guy that would go to the stall next to you when every other stall is empty
I come to this video anytime I'm in a public restroom and I'm reminded of the most perfect line. "Sometimes people drop stinkers." Peak cinema
*"First guy to admit he was wrong"* would be a good topic for Ryan to tackle
Yeah, that won't happen in the ryanverse for the next few years, I decided
hasn't happened yet because it hasn't happened yet?
I could be wrong -- but i'm not since i'm a guy, so there you go
"First guy to ever juggle something"
I think Ryan could deal quite well with the subject of juggling
There is practically zero target audience for a topic like that. 99.99% of people wouldn't be able to relate.
I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure he kinda did that in a vid of the first person to lie.
An under-appreciated bit Ryan's genius is that he really nails the different personalities of the corporate meeting, every time. There's the enabler ("Those basically mean the same thing"). And there's the guy running the meeting, who keeps giving the wrong person the benefit of the doubt ("Could be good for air circulation"), shutting down the person speaking sense ("Okay, let's keep this meeting rolling"), and positioning sanity and insanity like they're equally valid options ("Yeah, I guess it's between those two ideas").
THIS SO MUCH
Good point, agreed, well explained, thank you!
@Michael Lochlann Hive-minded thinking like That, sounds amazingly Japanese. In a bad way.
This is my favorite "The Guys Who..." video, by far! Ryan's facial expressions crack me up every time... but is anyone else ruined for using public restrooms now? I can't help but be more aware of every gap, sound and lock nowl. :D
Creepily accurate. I never cease to be amazed at expensive restaurants that have urinals with nothing between them, Even went to one where the urinal was on the same wall as the sink and mirror, seriously weird.
"I need to get in there FAST."
Brown Shirt Guy is practically asking for his rights to be taken away and put in a room. Pink Shirt Guy might need a therapist after this.
Well then the Ryan that is in the room will have a roommate
you mean the guy who talks to people good
@@fhsofdgadji that person is called the rapist, I decided.

I wish a Roman Ryan had appeared at the end and said
“How about this? No walls at all. You may wanna have a quick friendly conversation with people.” 😄
"These public toilets should also have no toilet paper but a bunch of communally shared buttwipe brush-mop thingies, I've decided."
Probably only people who like weird facts about history would know what the heck you're talking about - like me!
I have no idea how the Romans were cool with that...
* shudders *
I had to look it up to make sure. Didn't think that the Romans could fall lower in my eyes than they already are.
I mean, it is possible that any dividers have rotted away over the centuries.
But then again, there are cultures where shitting together is seen as a bonding exercise, so you never know.
@@libertatemadvocatus1797 I could see that!
(I'm totally not the creepy guy from the video)
Love how the creepy guy managed to infiltrate the " the place where names decided " for the bug segment to. It shows initiate and vision.
i just realized why they're designed that way. it keeps people from using them so often. water, plumbing, toilet paper, cleaning, soap, cheap thin wood stalls with cheap hinges are all costs that need to be paid and maintained. the public will destroy and abuse all this stuff, people will just shit everywhere so it has to be built in the cheapest most half assed way possible otherwise theyd have to charge to use them. they design these echochambers specifically tuned to amplify the fart frequencies just to keep most ppl out so the only ppl in there are the ones with emergency splat ass. it all makes sense now...
That one Ryan guy who's calling out the "reasonably obvious creep" Ryan man is very astute and aware by Ryanverse standards, I noticed.

Hi there hello
I thought of *safety* initially but… this video has made me reconsider this.
from what I heard it's mostly to prevent people doing questionable things inside. and it is an america only thing. where I live, the gap is ~2mm at some public restrooms and it is already too much.
Hallo OT! How is your day going?
@@jansustar4565 It's not only America but it isn't everywhere.
They're designed that way precisely to make you feel uncomfortable, so you don't stall too much.
In England, it's as if you're in your own ventilated private cubicle and I am so grateful.
I'm convinced that every office architect thought about adding more ventilation to the men's room, only to say, "Forget that, I'm late for my 1:20 tee time this afternoon. Those poor people can just get a device mounted on the wall with a timer that shoots bad fragrance instead, that will be good enough for them!"
I'm guessing this joke has been made many times before but, I love the fact that this guy who plays multiple characters so well in his skits has two first names.
“Well shouldn't we have some sort of dividers for urinals?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, go-”
“As long as they're half the height of the stalls.”
“No, we-”
“Okay, fine. We’ll only use them occasionally.”
At my school theres 3 urinals without walls
(All the boys are planning on yelling "BUILD A WALL!")
Urinals without dividers for simultaneous use by multiple people are a thing in some public places, especially some older construction sports halls. It's basically a piss chute for as many people as dare squeeze between each other to pee into.

I love Ryan's videos in general, but every now and then he shines a big WTF light on society and absolutely nails it. This is one of those times.
The cubicle walls are raised off the ground for easy cleaning. The cubicles can be cleaned without going into each one of them and there are fewer corners for filth to accumulate.
I thought everyone knew this - it's not really a WTF
@@zig131 ah yes, so we have the gap in order to allow the people whose job it is to clean the bathrooms not to have to clean them very carefully. Got it.
Everything aside, it's super useful for passing a toilet paper roll.
@@pvshka or just stealing some toilet paper from the next stall over if you don't have any and the next stall is empty.
Hypothetically speaking, of course. 👀
@@zig131 Honestly, the worst offenders re. "BIG gaps EVERYWHERE" I've seen were all in the US (haven't been to Canada, so I can't say about that one). Which means that cleaners in, for example, Europe, also manage to clean the cubicles somehow, despite a lack of such gaps.
This is one of my favourite videos on the whole wide internet. I see this video periodically and just laugh as hard as I did the first time!
He said "get to" this time!
hahah that got me
"And there should be at least two sinks, but only one soap dispenser. So if you're forced to use the far one, you have to get really close to touching me while I'm using the close one."
I'll accept that, so long as the one with the working soap dispenser is one the opposite side of the one with the working towel dispenser and working sink, if that's automatic.
Ok feels like literally no-one knows how to use these so I’ll explain. First wash your hands under the tap. Then while the tap is off apply soap and vigorously and thoroughly rub your hands with it. Now wash off the soap. You now have clean hands. There’s easily enough water when you use these taps as intended.
"And both taps should only dispense cold water, so nobody can ever properly clean their hands."
@lebensraummetal You know you'vê been born in economic when their plubic bathrooms have hot water.
@Simon Pryor Yes, because all soap adheres to an international standard and all taps have the same timing, right?
Now you have to touch it again after just washing your hands and use alcohol on the spot afterwards.

I get on a roll watching these videos. On many occasions I have gotten people viewing in my stall while trying to take care of FEMENINE needs. And they just stand there and stare because there is not only a huge gap around the door but also no where for people to wait except outside the doors. Still, avert your eyes.

@@trippmoore But the US loves shaming and degrading other human beings. Controlling bodies is something of a mainstream fetish for Americans.
@@Krystalmyth as do many other countries, though admittedly the US is a world leader in it.
@@Krystalmyth I love your name. 😂
@@trippmoore "no more shame than your average drinker" is not something I agree with, particularly for non-opiate addicts. There's a very fine line between "support" and "enabling" and I think that making drug addiction acceptable crosses it.
I was in a bathroom with completely closed off stalls. It was amazing how easy it was to relax and let 'er rip!
That's literally every bathroom ever made. Am I missing something?
@@suakeliDid you watch the video?
@@kh6853 Of course. It's just that I've never seen a public bathroom without normal doors. Is this some sort of American joke I'm too European to understand?
@@suakeli Probably?
Best yet, when there are no doors on the stalls and the urinal is a giant long trough with no dividers. Welcome to old sports arenas.
They have these at Stanford University… An Ivy League college which cost $120,000 per semester.😂
"To save paper towels there should be a loud machine attached to a wall that blows air but doesn't actually dry your hands it just makes them a little less damp"
"We'll slap labels on them insisting they are more environmentally friendly despite that the electricity consumed each time one is activated couldn't possibly have a smaller carbon footprint than using 1 or 2 cheap, biodegradable paper towels."
@@mresturk9336 "And people won't realize how completely unsanitary they are since they just collect bathroom germs and shoot them on your 'clean' hands."
Right! So if someone wants to wipe their mouth or wipe off a stain on their shirt, they have to use toilet paper instead, which rips when it gets wet, so they'll have little tiny white spots all over their now-wet black shirt.
@@aaronseidl5941 Yeah, since covid those things are mainly not used anymore.. which is interesting since we used it since decades previously.
@@1IGG speak for yourself. where i live it's almost all automatic hand dryers now because environmentally friendly. it sucks
Seeing how far cellphones have come since I was a kid, it really is shocking how much bathroom stalls haven't changed especially considering so much improvements can be made.
It's all about money, you pay exactly the same for a swanky toilet as you do for a shitty toilet when you use it i.e. nothing at all so there's not really the incentive to make improvements beyond the most basic.
The walls off the ground to see passed out people and to mop the floors.
With the gaps so wide people see a perfect gaps not paper thin.
Like he said the " honor system " don't look unless your into that kinda stuff getting kicked in the face
I think the world improvements here is subjective... which is probably why they haven't been made.
@@hinoakuma6386 Public toilet are objectively terrible. Forget the doors not going down, what about the spaces inbetween the doors. So many have edges that are so wide you can see clearly inside. So little privacy.
@@robrick9361 lol... objectively terrible for the people who don't pay for them... but for the people who pay to install them... the less material and the greater space utilised means the cheaper the cost.
That's what I mean by improvements are subjective, because you're thinking of improvement from your pov. Not from the business owners etc.
I for one have had to crawl under a stall to assist someone that had fallen, hit her head and was laying unconscious in a rapidly spreading pool of blood. The gap at the bottom was handy for both me knowing she was in distress and getting to her to render aid
Or you could have easily kick the door open
ok but we can jus remove the side gap, right

"sometimes people drop stinkers"

I love how a war general has became a meme
@@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245 and mainly became a meme because of a Minecraft pig
This quote is often taken out of context. It is important to remember later in the book, where Sun Tzu also said "sometimes people don't drop stinkers" in order to get a more complete picture to help your military strategy
Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about pooping than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor.

"He looked through the gap!" "Why did he look through the gap?"
I hate it so much how accurate this is.
As someone who is 6'6", that tall people part is FAAAAR to accurate...
Seriously! I remember making direct eye contact with someone 😫 I didn't see anything but I was like "oh my gosh I'm so sorry, it was an accident!"
This comment makes me wonder uncomfortable things about a friend from school who's also 6'6" 🙃😅

Honestly major props to Ryan George for keeping continuity, the occuring character "The Adstronaut" is in almost every video and he's funny every time... wait what do you mean the adstronaut part isn't part of the actual sketch?
I love that he's saying that public bathrooms were made by a perv.
Who else would even want to be on the project?
I think they just want people to get in and out of there ASAP.
If they had total privacy, they might attract the homeless, hookers etc.
It's fucking ridiculous how they compromise law-abiding people's privacy because they can't police their own place.
@@SovereignStatesman fuck man you're probably right, just like the purposely uncomfortable benches.
People who want to save money
The truth is cheap designers, but being a perv fits the story better.
I am so glad that later that day they decided to take the same design and apply them to dressing rooms to try on clothes. it is so comforting knowing that everyone who walks into the area can see me and know if I am okay. If I should slip and knock myself unconscious stumbling around in such of a small space, people could easily just pull me out from under the door.
Pull your half dressed, unconscious, body from under the door. Gotta think safety!!
Or those ones that automatically lock so if you forget, you have to get an employee to let you back in. Especially embarrassing if you're trying on underwear or something.
I would prefer death.
@@ladyclassicalwrites Wait, where you live there are _locks_ on public dressing rooms in clothing stores??? Not just a swinging-both-ways door like in old Wild West saloons? With a hand-width gap between the door and frame? And yeah, the gap at the bottom of the door, of course.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog Uh, they do have the gap at the bottom, but they have locks and no gaps on the doors. Isn’t that normal?
This is great 😂 I’ve had numerous nightmares regarding the gaps in public stalls over the decades 😅
Ryan is literally one of the funniest guys on earth!
Watching posts of Reddit, it's insane how different public restrooms are in the US compared to the rest of the world. guess it's the same for Canada?
In most public bathrooms yes.
Unfortunately, pretty much the same. I hate the fact that there's the gap in the door frame. If someone is being airheaded or intentionally creepy, it's way too easy to make direct eye contact with someone sitting down in a stall.
We dont have pee troughs anymore in Canada.
What is the "rest of the world," though? Go to any 3rd world and some 2nd world countries, and you'll get a hole in the corner that you have to squat over.
@@woody5476 I think the distinction between lack of infrastructure and really weird infrastructure would be the difference there.
I especially love when the side gap between the door and the stall is so big, you wonder why they even bothered with the door at all.
So your vote is for no door at all. Interesting.
@@stephen3164 🤣
@@stephen3164
LOL
I love how you managed to twist my words into something even worse
Edit: forgot to add the 🤣🤣🤣 so this does not get mistaken for sarcasm
I've seen some that have a foot on both sides wide open, the door is just to block entry, not for privacy.
The camp I used to go to didn't even have doors, but had shower currents instead. It was an odd design choice, but honestly wasn't any worse than the traditional stall door.
Close enough to touch elbows and sneak a peak..... im dying hahahaha
Ryan always hits hard on the real issues. These thoughts always have plagued me.
"Mirrored walls, 100% mirrored walls"- who let that guy on the team?
Urinals could have magnifying mirrors to cheer up people with teeny weenies.
Mirrored ceilings ◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗
To any and all Europeans who haven't been to the US of A: He isn't joking. There seriously is a gap between the door and walls of the toilet stalls...
American toilets are weird enough for Americans to be self-aware about it. That's how weird they are, they decided.
Someone should put the ones who came up with that idea in a room.
If you want to talk weird. I had an emergency moment while driving in France and pulled into a rest stop. There was an open area with a hole in the floor. I don't remember if there was a door. No I'm not joking and yes it was a real facility with places to wash your hands and urinals however for #2 there was a floor hole with TP off to the side. Can't remember if I took a picture afterwards or not, it was 2010, think I might have for proof that I wasn't just making this up.
@@Parents_of_Twins Thats interesting you only hear about squat toilets in southeast asian countries but apparently they offer better positioning for your body to poop better, thats all I know.
If I remember right it was made that way to make it uncomfortable so that you would spend less time in the bathroom. Which is great.
@@MikeClowder Who wants to spend time in a roadside toilet? Who wants to spend time in a toilet period? All I know is I was surprised and not overly happy but from age 8 on I lived in a house without electricity and for several years without running water so am familiar with roughing it. Glad I wasn't wearing baggy pants.
1:12 cracked me up
As someone who is 6'3, I have actually been to a public bathroom where my head was above the top of the door while seated...perhaps that guy designed that particular bathroom.
First commandment of the Men's Room: "Thou shalt not peak."
Second: "Thou shall not talk"
Third: "Thou shall not select the urinal next to another unless that is all that is available."
Amen
Hund's rule.
I’m sure that’s a typo, but guys definitely shouldn’t be “peaking” in public bathrooms.
Fourth: Fast Food restaurants shall never clean the washrooms or stock toilet paper or towels.
4th: Left handed guys should hold it with their right hand while peeing and vice-versa.
Video idea: “The guys who named bits of information websites store as cookies”

This joke sucks
That would definitely need to be a part of a different video...maybe first guy to have a website or something, that would have more than just...a single joke
I agree with adstronaut, sneezing several times in a row IS the best feeling in the world. Sometimes I stick a q-tip up my nose and wiggle it around to induce sneezing when I have a cold and my nose itches. Feels sooo good to finally get the sneeze out!
'But I already wrote ya down for no?'
Perfectly executed but of dialogue!
I always thought our stalls in Ireland showed too much above and below the door. Then I went to New York and was so shocked! This video is crazy accurate in its description of those stalls ^^
I am highly convinced that Ryan wakes up with random thoughts in the morning and that is how he makes these scripts
Same
Well... think if you wrote down everything you were thinking when you were taking a shower..
...or poopin. Eh?
@@MrKodachii hmmmmmmm
Agree. Our bathrooms in the US are so strange. Why do we put up with this? Also, don’t forget the doors that swing inward and sometimes built too close to the toilet. You have to stratal the toilet just to shut the door. At my office we had stalls where the walls were not distanced evenly apart on each side. One wall was way closer than the other. They put the toilet paper roll on the closet wall so the roll is practically on your lap when you sit down. Ugh. The engineers on some of these bathrooms are terrible!
