    Most general public bathrooms (ie. not ones found within stores/reataurants) in Australia don’t have doors - but rather an S-shaped path that provides privacy, without the necessary “stickiness” of having to touch a door handle.

    Is this not common elsewhere?

      In facilities that have lots of room, yes (malls, schools, etc). Workplaces generally less inclined to devote that much space to it.

        I have been joking with my roommate lately that we’re probably only a decade or so out from landlords putting coin-op toilets in apartments. What a capitalist dystopia it’ll be.

          Like the cigarette dispenser in Dallas’ apartment from the 5th element. Pretty sure he had advertisements in his apartment when he woke up. I need to revisit that gem, been a while.
