Searching for the perfect brew!

Now That's an Outhouse...
This is a toilet in REEDSPORT OREGON
..Scroll down... Now that you have seen the outside view of the Toilet, spend just another moment scrolling down to see how it looks from inside... That's made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you're sitting in a clear glass box. Would you/could you use it??? Me no problem, except I don't think I could get my chair in it.

To freaky for me. Knowing my luck, some wise-guy would walk by and act like he could really see in and would make me panic.......

Yea I could use it, but I can handle being nude in public (where they could see) so this is just one step more private.
Pressing your face against the glass when someone was in there would be quite comical though

eeerrr....god no! Psychologically impossible for me...I'd know I couldn't be seen but then my brain would be sending me conflicting signals. I doubt I could squeeze anything out!

I'm thinking as well that an outhouse like that out near some wooded areas and/or feilds, with nature all around you, would be cool. Be like squating in the woods camping, but without the thought of critters grabbing your backside.

The question that I have...as I recall, one way glass works with light. Meaning that the side that's better lit has the "mirrored" effect. So...when darkness falls, does the effect then shift from not being able to see in but able to see out...to being able to see in but not being able to see out? To answer the OP's question...I suppose that would depend on how badly I had to go. Ahhhh...why not? I'll try anything once. What's the worst that could happen? Stage fright?

My guess would be that as soon as it starts getting dark a pretty good streetlight comes on very nearby, and the lighting inside is pretty gentle.
Sure, I could use it. Hell, I've gone to some extremely sketchy motels where I'm not sure the mirrors weren't one-way. I'd have an extreme urge to point and laugh every time I walked by it though, just in case somebody's in there. |

That's awesome. My hat goes off to the designer.
Would I use it? Sure, but I'd be nervous as hell. I used one of the public automatic cleaning toilets they have all over Paris, and the whole time, I kept thinking that the door was going to open prematurely. I bet once inside and given the opportunity to prove that no one can see you, (I'm sure you could think of something ) it would turn out to be quite liberating.

I have actually seen a couple of those when I lived in DC and on a trip to San Fran - and they are a pretty big hit in Europe when it comes to public restrooms since they are self cleaning.

I like it. And I'd definitely use it.
But I'd wait till someone I didn't like or some old lady came along, then I'd fart really loud.

Wow...I think I would. After the initial freakiness wore off, I'd be all smug and satisfied - "Hey look, I can see all those people but they can't see me! And I'm pooping!" I'm really just a 7-year-old at heart.

That'd be great. Imagine if you didn't know... You'd walk up thinking nothing of it, then when you walked in, BAM, the shock would make your bladder tighten up. Probably step back outside to make sure that you couldn't see in.
I could use it, but it would be damned funny. Quote:

That's a pretty cool concept. I don't know if I'd be able to use it unless I was in dire need, but the possibilities are intriguing. I got a kick out of the toilet/sink as well. There's quite a few of those where I work.

I suppose that watching people go about their business is more entertaining than reading "Sandy is a slut", or "I love Joe" and other fantastic mementos people typically leave in public restrooms.
