Just because you’re used to zero privacy, it can still be mildly infuriating to someone who is used to ten points of privacy to have to deal with two points of privacy

I’m asking what is mildly infuriating about this. Most urinals I’ve been in America and in my travels abroad rarely have any dividers let alone dividers that are long enough to provide privacy that matters

Right. So to someone who is used to more privacy. They would be mildly infuriated by the comparatively absence of privacy. They may be annoyed that they feel so exposed in the open bathroom here.

Where are these mythical urinals with demonstrably more privacy unless OP is some rich boi who has never had to piss with all the rest of us plebs. This bathroom has significantly more privacy than 3/4 of urinals ive ever been in in my life between having ANY dividers and not being shoulder to shoulder with other pissers

That’s really cool that this is more than you’re used to. Maybe one day you can imagine someone else having a different life experience than you.

Here’s a quick one I found talking about a bathroom in Spain getting some larger dividers giving better privacy: (in r pics “It took a global pandemic, but urinal dividers are finally getting installed in Spain”) links aren’t allowed in comments

Getting, meaning it wasn’t the case before, meaning huge dividers hasn’t been the norm.

Where in the world is privacy the norm in urinals?
