Bathrooms (The Stalls)

There is a large difference in bathrooms between the United States and the parts of Europe I've been to. (Slovakia, Germany, Spain, Vienna (Austria) and also Japan. There are two main differences: the bathroom stalls themselves, and the toilets. First up, the stalls. Comment which stall style is in your country.

        The stalls in the United States (and maybe other countries I haven't been to) you can pretty much see everything that is happening inside the stall by looking through the crack between the stall door and the divider part.

I know it does not look like much of a problem, but it soon becomes one. As you walk by, even if you don't want to, you get an angle view of what is going on. It ruins your privacy. On top of that, the bottom and top part of the door are cut off, leaving you with a foot, (30cm) of sight of your feet and at times the top of your head when you stand up. So if anything embarrassing drops on the floor we all see it. Thank you public and school bathroom stalls.

        Now the ones in the countries I mentioned are a luxury of privacy compared to these. Most of 

the time they completely shut with this nice rubber seal, so no one can see through the crack, and they also usually skim the bottom of the floor, so no one can see your pants and embarrassing underwear.

I'm sorry about the blurriness, but this was one of the best ones on Google that shows what I'm trying to say. Also I couldn't take a picture of a bathroom because it would be very awkward for the people inside.
