I think I’ll trade a little privacy for some air conditioning and plumbing though.

In the US maybe. Most places around the world don't have your ridiculous toilet doors.

You might think so but nobody sees me wading down below looking up with evil eyes.

I don't care how ridiculous this may seem but there is just something so unsettling about pooping onto other peoples poop.

In the US maybe. Most countries I’ve been to have proper private stalls with floor to ceiling walls. And a bidet.

when I was deployed in Iraq, clean porta-poties were definitely a bit of a sanctuary to me. unless it was 120 degrees. then they were more like a sweat lodge

I would rather piss in front of someone than use one, the overwhelming heat, stretch, and inability to wash your hands...and that means the inside handle has been touched by so many dirty hands....no thank you.

Yeah, just stare at the mirrors from the stall door crack, you'll catch someone washing their hands eventually and it will absolutely ruin their bathroom experience, possibly their day.

But my spatially aware ass is always snapping focus straight to people checking stalls for occupation, and eye contact is somewhat inevitable.

In the US maybe. Their bathroom stalls are atrocious. Most of the rest of the world is more sensible.

I've had the most amazing conversations with people in the Porto next to me.

Something about pooping outside in a plastic stall with randoms really levels the playing field.
