Random moan - what is it with people trying the cubicle door?

If that is your worst loo ever story, then may I suggest you never ever travel to a non Western country lol

Or a proper 'dance music club', where they dont have doors at all on cubicles thanks to the charlies. I was out in Blackpool in Syndicate many years ago and had to 'go', quickest dump of my life i can tell you that.

Globalisation for you. The locks are probably made in China and marketed to over 100 different countries.

It is similar to the way that products are increasingly coming with cartoon/pictorial instructions rather than a massive book written in 15 different languages.

Yeah, but doing away with writing that could simply be printed on top of it, and gong from red/white to red/green as well is just confusing and causes problems!

Those big electronic slidey doors on trains are utterly ridiculous. Surely some designer's idea of a joke? Why would you give a toilet such a completely huge sliding door and make the locking mechanism so overly-complicated? :confused: There's no real way to know it's locked like you can with a good, big bolt. Crazy.

Seriously though, my girlfriend and I once were unfortunate to get stuck on a train full of football hooligans travelling up north for their weekly fight. They destroyed all the toilets and were larking about outside our nearest one, my poor girlfriend didn't go for 3.5hrs. Not fun.

Really?

How do you suggest someone in a wheel chair uses one of the small toilets on a train then where there's barely enough room to turn around?

And the controls are hardly complicated. Three buttons, open, close and lock. Easy.

Yup. They have these in my office in America. To make it worse last time I went over the loos in my building were out of use apart from one nearest our office. There was one cubicle and one disabled cubicle. The doors also didn't quite meet the edge of the frame so if you got the right angle you could look straight in. Wonderful.

So you have never been in a toilet where that colour slider thing doesn't work properly? I will always check if I am not sure as well because 50% of the time, they show as red and no one is in there....

I have, but there's only 2 bathrooms (6 cubicles plus 2 separate disabled) on each floor. Bearing in mind we spend 40hrs a week here it's not hard to know that they all work ok!
 
The earth is 4 billion years old. We descended from cave men who had nothing but bones and stones to use to survive. Fast forward to 2016 and you're moaning about toilet doors.

What is it with people that try the cubicle door even though there is very clearly a red marker on the outside that indicates when it is locked and in use? :confused:

I was in the cubicle at work enjoying my post-coffee 'sit-down' and was aware that both other cubicles were occupied (both due to my eyes working as intended and seeing the red dots on the door lock, and from the ..er noise). So I hear a guy come in, he walks to the furthest one, tries that, then tries all the others in turn :confused: Now our doors are pretty secure but is it just me that thinks that's pretty rude? :p How hard is it to divert your gaze down to just simply look at the indicator? :mad:

When people do it in a public loo without a sturdy door and you have that moment of fear they might bust in on you... :o

Maybe they're colour blind.

Time to start worrying is when a selfie stick appears under the door.

visit rural france - their crapatoriums are usually just fancy holes in the ground with anti-slip sections either side (if you're lucky) no seat or any of that nonsense - just got to do the hover-squat.

those ain't fun - especially if the person before you didn't get a 'hole-in-one'! :eek:
