This pub toilet door has a handy gap at the top so you can tell if it’s in use or want to deliver a small to mid-sized package to whoever is in there.

  1. Why would that be? I assume if nobody is coming out the staff can have a peek and see if there’s a passed out geeze in there?

  2. I guess you could order pizza while enjoying a nice ‘sit down’ and the delivery guy could post it through the gap

  4. The pub toilets I use usually have a hole in the wall, much lower down.

  5. It could be because of building regs requiring certain ventilation levels. Usually you’d put an extract fan in, but depending on layout that might not be possible.

    Usually you’d put the gap at the bottom though!

  6. With just a small jump, it would be easy to make eye contact with the toilet user, just to say hello and to politely let them know that they fucking stink

  7. It also has an old school cistern so Clemenza can hide a gun in there for you.

  9. We’ve all been in a cubicle toilet before haven’t we guys? It’s just so you can have a shit without people seeing you, not fort knox. It provides great airflow so it doesn’t stank up so easily.

  10. That’s the vent for the poo smell, so you know it’s occupied.

  12. Wait until you visit USA – their shitters have saloon doors. I kid you not.

  13. My first few minutes in the USA I went to take a dump after the long flight. The gaps between the sides of the door were nearing 2 inches, and there was a good foot clearance below the floor and the door and the top of the door ended around 5 foot 5 in height , as I was pooping someone made eye contact with me between the two inch gap between the doorframe as the door was closed.

  15. Ex bar worker here, that’s so bouncers can see if anyone has fallen asleep in there at the end of the night. One of our bouncers forgot to check one night and some fella got locked in!

  17. It’s probably also so that you can have just a single fire alarm / flashing beacon in the lobby rather than also needing one in the cubicle since anyone who’s deaf would still be Abel to see the beacon through the gap.

  21. It’s for bouncers on busy nights to see if they’re taking drugs

  22. Took my kids to a local wrestling event recently and my 8 year old got locked in a cubical during the interval. After a huge fuss, the… caretaker? broke off the jammed lock and my lad was given some free merch. He still won’t go in a cubicle and a gap like this could definitely help!!

  25. *Delivers toilet roll*
    *Delivers another toilet roll*
    *Delivers 3 more toilet rolls…*

  26. They turned the door upside down after people tried delivering their “small to mid sized packages” under the door

  28. It’s so you can be seen if you’re doing coke off the cistern.

  29. Laughs in American at your still abundance of shitting privacy.
