why do bathroom stall doors have ridiculous sized gaps on the hinge?

II find it incredibly awkward and don't see why they cannot appreciate privacy.

Update:

often you can even see someone in the next stall by reflection off the back wall...

Update 2:

whats wrong with having a w a n k anyways. it doesn't hurt anyone.

    They are designed by pervs.

    Seriously though, there are enough idiots out there who would have a ****, or do drugs. Maybe it's to discourage that kind of thing. I remember ages ago encountering public restrooms in Europe lit with blue lights to discourage shooting up, but I haven't seen that in quite a while.

    Edit: funny - that's the first time I realized you can't type w a n k on here.

    Edit: Nothing at all. But generally other people don't want to see or hear it.
