Perhaps the one thing that drives hotel guests to frustration more than anything else is bathrooms that offer no privacy. That’s no big deal when you’re staying on your own. But if you’re with someone, it’s awkward enough if you’re in a relationship with them (toilets should stay private unless non-private is your thing). If you’re just sharing a room with a friend to save money? Brutally awkward.

Someone even created a searchable database of hotels whose rooms don’t have doors on the bathroom to name and shame, and to help you avoid getting stuck in this situation yourself.

That raises the obvious question, then: why do hotels do this? Do they just not understand the grief they’re causing?…
