I would seriously like to get a hold of whoever it was that has designed most of the public restroom's bathroom stalls, and strangle him/her with toilet paper. It must be some tall, ultra-skinny, double-jointed, flexible person...because some of the stall doors are almost impossible to close without practically standing on the toilet seat to get out of the way.

When the door opens inwards, and you have to navigate yourself between that, the TP holder, and the toilet, there needs to be more than two inches of space. Really. I don't want to have my legs touching the toilet (EW) in order to get the door closed...and bending over/contorting my body to fit around said objects can turn into a risky game when I'm already a little off-balance from pregnancy.

One can always use the handicapped stall I suppose, but then there's the ridiculous height of the toilet to deal with. I haven't decided which is the lesser of the two evils: Trying to get the stall door closed without falling in the toilet, or trying to find a stepping stool to climb up to the tall toilet so as to avoid pole vaulting my way up.

Like I said, the designers of said stalls should be found and tortured. I suggest sticking a 10 lb, medium-to-large-sized ball in their shirts, and then forcing them to drive to stores/theaters/restaurants trying to get into different bathroom stalls. I'm sure the future designs would be more user-friendly.
