Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

I hate peaking under the stalls or knocking doors to figure it out. The answer is so simple.

In the US just peer through the crack between the door and the wall. Ensure solid eye contact with the current occupant. Determine how much time they've left. Adjust plan accordingly.

I always reach under the stalls to grab their ankles. Scaring the shit out of them speeds things up

The most literal case of scaring the shit out of someone.

I'm pretty sure that would show me down. I'd have to spend half an hour wiping after pinching it off with that clench.

You shouldn't do that.

The doors are deliberately designed to have a large gap on the bottom, so you can poke your head through. This is the correct way of doing it.
