It's probably also the kind of fancy glass you can get to go foggy on command (hopefully it's fail foggy, i.e. needs a small charge to be clear) so that when you latch the door the stall becomes private.

I’m sure that’s what it is, but I would be soooooooo uncomfortable either way.

I would love this!

I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I'm checking whether the stall is occupied.

Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

Those locks with that show occupied when the latch is closed achieve the same thing without the need of the smart glass

[–] digdug@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but the glass is immediately noticable from anywhere in the bathroom. I don't have to walk up to each door to see the latch position.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't have issue with quickly glancing over at the doors to see which ones are occupied

It's literally not going to take you that ling tobwalk close enough to the doors and glance at them

Just do like my ex-coworkers and go mental on every doorhandle untill they find an empty stall. It's probably to scare the shit out of me, to make it go faster.

Just have a latch that can only be closed from the inside. That's what I've always seen in public bathrooms.

I was thinking more that this is probably a prison

That was my immediate thought as well. Like they have fogging glass, but nasty ass toilets with optional toilet seat?
