The Open Cracks

I have always appreciated the efficiency of the systems in US, the roads, the courtesy of the people etc etc...
But there are some things which I found annoying and their restrooms make it to the top of the list.

What the hell do they think when they build their toilets?

They seem to have implemented the concept of modular toilets. This means that there are no hard walls between seats. The walls extend from roughly your head (of an average Indian) to your calf muscles. This also means you can see the feet of your neighbour. You can watch all his movements and know exactly the staus of his progress. Hmmm..

There is a small gap between door and the part where the latch locks. This ensures you can see everyone moving around the toilet area. Sometimes you would see people peeking thru that gap to check if someone is seated.
You can never relax and relieve yourself because you are always conscious of your surroundings. Is someone looking ? What will they think ? Shit..You cannot concentrate..;-)

Now the worst part. Sometimes you are subject to dolby sound effects from your neighbouring area. Mind you these Americans are so huge and eat like hell. So they can give out quite a thunder. Now that can be quite disturbing :-)

I know America is the land of freedom of expression and speech and with porous borders. But should they implement that in their toilets?? Nahhhh !!!!

Mera Bharat Mahan !!!

Had a hearty laugh reading your blog.......your blog has indeed come a long way.

About the American rest rooms, thank goodness they have the door atleast.........wonder when they may think that isn't necessary also.

That was a funny one!

Keep writing in!
