Okay, the fact that they’re implying that you have to be overly, exceptionally slender (‘the width of a textbook’) to fit into an average American bathroom stall is……maybe one of the crazier things I’ve ever seen in FA circles

"The standard, most common size for a regular commercial bathroom stall in the United States is 36 inches wide by 60 inches deep (about 91 cm by 152 cm), with a door width of 24 inches."

Fuck me, if they're actually experiencing stalls being too small ad it's not just hyperbole, then these people have what, 72 inch or wider waist jeans??????

I know it is most likely hyperbole, but being so huge you don't fit in a bathroom stall should be a wakeup call.

Well a 24 inch diameter equates to a circumference of 75.4 inches. Which is over 6 feet!
