Am I too non-USA to understand this?

All you need to know is that toilet stalls in the USA (and Canada) have huge gaps around the doors, unlike other countries. You have to carefully position your head so you're not making accidental eye contact with people outside, and somehow relax knowing everyone can see you taking a shit.

I think they just suck at carpentry, amongst other things. Doors are haaaard.

Doors being hard doesn't explain it, since they're not a problem for the rest of the world (which is the vast majority of it).

Yeah, they don't know how to make door rebates. They don't even have that in their actual house doors leading to the road. And we over here even have them on toilet doors.
