"To sex" is to determine sex (gender.)
If someone says "I am sexing your mom" on the internet, that is definitely not what they mean.
It could be, from a certain point of view.

Re: Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
#92It's not about saving a few bucks on a door. It's about discouraging you and your friends from sharing a single room. Hotel sees the money they're leaving on the table and will trade you for it for the low price of watching your buddies do their business.
Maybe, and also 100% guarantees I’ll never stay there with my family.
But do you check if the hotel has bathroom doors? If yes, where? You call up and ask? And trust the person on the phone is honest?
Most people would assume bathrooms have doors. It is just exhausting to have to check for every small, commonsensical, super basic detail
Re: Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
#93Huh.. I've stayed in over 1,000 hotels and Airbnbs over the last 15 years and not once saw a bathroom with no door. Lots of bathroom windows, but always some kind of door.
Was it made of glass? I've stayed in a hotel where the toilet door was made of glass, and had big gaps. I was staying with an acquaintance, so things were really awkward. It didn't help that the shower was right in front of this frosted glass, so the person's entire silhouette was very visible when showering. Another time, in Amsterdam, I stayed at an AirBnB where the toilet was on the balcony, and had a glass door (…

#94Have had some where the shower is just glass panels for the room to see (and no, it wasn't that kind of hotel).
Another hotel in a small town here in Germany where it had shutter-style doors and where the roof of the bathroom didn't go all the way to the actual ceiling, so you can hear everything.
Both in the name of aesthetic, clearly.

#95I applaud this effort. Now I wish someone would do one for hotels where the shower controls seem designed for maximum confusion. I'm pretty sure there are conventions for hotel shower designers where they compete to make showers that spray you with freezing or scalding water or simply make it impossible for water to come out at all, while the controls look maximally pretty.

#97WSJ did a good explainer on hotel room design anti-patterns: https://youtu.be/116cwKs2XQs
I watched this and it doesn't seem like anti-patterns to me? I spend more time in hotels than most and ironing boards, closets, minibars, and "bigger rooms" are not things I care about. I don't hang out in the room; it's a box I enter to shower and sleep.
Things I want, Socket next to bed, light switch next to bed, decent mattress and pillow, blackout blinds, no noise from next door/corridor
I do like a good shower too, rather than those stupid bath things like it’s the 1980s, and get rid of American hotels which seem to be allergic to providing shower gel

#98While we’re at it, bring back shower doors/curtains. It’s such a pain having this huge puddle outside the shower just because they decided it shouldn’t have one. It’s not so common to be missing one in US hotels, but it’s common internationally.
Edit: apparently the virus has spread, and some US hotels now don’t have them

It's far more likely to discourage me and my friends from staying at that hotel entirely.
How many people consider what a bathroom looks like before booking a hotel room? I can't say I've ever done so.
Actively? Almost no one.
But I absolutely check out google maps reviews, and a single review saying that the hotel did not have a proper door on the bathroom would guarantee I would not stay there.
Even traveling alone it's a clear indication they have no respect for their guests, and it's a significant hygiene issue.
