Someone at work is a little shy about doing number 2, and it's not me. In the bathroom closest to my cube is one stall. That stall has about a one-and-a-half in gap in between the stall door and the tile wall. The stall is very close to the urinal, and while you could stand and he urinal and peer between the crack and see if someone is sitting on the pot, you'd have to be very intent on catching a peek. But this someone is so shy that they've taken to tearing off a long strip of toilet paper and hanging down the entire length of the gap.
One of these days..."Peakaboo! I see you!"
Every trip to the bathroom is a new adventure.

I don't blame him one bit. At the gym (or any other public restroom, for that matter), I try to choose the stall that's the least easy to see into through the cracks.
I watched the history of the toilet on Discovery or similar and they talked about how Americans have only recently become shy regarding toileting. In fact, Americans used to buiild outhouses designed for the whole family to go at once...they were equipped with 4 holes. Imagine taking a dump at the same time as your mother!
Has anybody of you been to Rome? In Ostia, the ancient harbour there is still an antique toilet intact. It was a large square room with a bench attached to the wall. This bench had about 20 or so holes where people sat upon to do their business while meeting friends and collegues and actually talking about business too.
Once the Emperor Vespasian installed a tax for using public bath rooms. When criticised he said pecunia non olet Money doesn't stink
The shamelessness of taking a dump in public may be gone but the shamelessness of installing taxes for anything hasn't.
