DTW has good stalls. The doors go almost all the way to the floor and gives you a little sense of privacy. Not sure why in the states we insist on having giant gaps around our public stalls. Certain terminals in ATL have lights above the stalls to indicate whether they are occupied or not, thought that was cool. Although the best is finding a good out of the way family restroom if you’re looking to do some serious business.

Why don’t they have industrial powered fans in there?? They are the most foul smelling places in the world!

The parts of the terminal that need the most ventilation have the least.

How am I supposed to shimmy my bag ain there and get the door shut without touching all kinds of stuff including the toilet.

STL C-gates do. And yes, just cracked someone with the door getting out.

Every airport has it's hidden Costanza private bathroom just gotta find it :D

Do love the new bathroom design in MSP, roomy urinals and fine stalls.

On the rare occasion that I have too poop at work, I'm that guy who uses the Family restroom if it's available. While I haven't been yelled at yet, my logic is simple. My bag assembly simply doesn't fit in the regular bathroom stalls, as noted above. I'm sorry to the diaper changing mom waiting outside, but that's just how it is.

Why is the toilet paper only like 2" wide?

This. All day long. I always use the family ones. As a poster above, I’m a pro at finding the quite/private bathrooms lol.

I prefer no bathroom stalls. So if you make loud noises, everyone is watching you.

Two funny things. ^^^ This post cracked me up and the ad for a specialized bathroom product "Toto Washlet" appearing on this page. I can't believe this thread turned into one about poop...oh wait, yes I can.
