At no point in my life
Have I ever had even the remotest desire to watch myself crap. hell, I never even LOOK in a mirror except to shave, and not often then. I don’t have hair enough to need to comb it, either.
So why is it that hotels persist in putting full length mirrors on the inside of bathroom doors? It isn’t even like you can not close the door, some RV’s have bigger crappers than most hotel rooms. No, you HAVE to close the door to have room for your knees.
And then you sit.
Staring at your naked self while you crap.
I have to eat breakfast first, this kills my appetite for hours.
Is there ANYONE out there who really wants/needs to see themselves on the john? do you model? Do you primp and preen, do you trim your pubes, do you admire your sixpack? Who looks good sitting on the crapper?

I suggest distracting yourself with something to read.
Only reason I can see for the mirror is so you can make sure your fly isn’t open.
At Mother-in-law’s house, every bathroom has a big mirror over the sink that extends behind the commode. Those of us who stand to micturate have a perfect view of the process. Takes me by surprise every time. If I glance up, I feel like yelling, “Hey, fella! Don’t aim that thing at *me*!”
Women want a full-length mirror.
Where else can you put it such that it’s not going to get broken by the cleaning cart or a clumsy occupant?
Inside the bathroom door keeps it pretty well protected – and they’re often getting gussied up or dressed in there anyway.
Market forces!
It makes the bathroom look bigger.
I’ll go one better. Used to have a some friends a few years back with a glass coffee table. One would slid under the table and watch while the other took a dump on the glass.
Nutjobs…
…got anything to read?
Hang a robe or towel over the mirror?
My wife multi-tasks on the john in HER bathroom, and yes, there’s a mirror and make-up and a small table and other ‘Ladies Necessities” around there. Figure its a “Gal Thing” and use the spare bathroom.
As for the hotel, long towel over the top edge of the door if there’s no hook.
How about a Sudoku puzzle?
I remembered this post and thought since I am currently traveling for work, sitting in a hotel in BFE, WI. I didnt have the mirror in fornt of me instead it was directly to my right and made me feel (since my peripheral vision has no lense for which i can discern exactly what’s next to me) like I had a crapper buddy or one of those 2 seater s#ithouses…
