Why do stall doors open inwards? The space is cramped already and it's not exactly the most hygiene of all areas, but for some reason the manufacturers seem to gather joy in knowing that we are twisting and turning to avoid the death touch that is contact with any surface in there. I'm a pretty skinny guy myself, so I cringe at the though of what large people go through to escape the dungeonous stall. Why not just have the doors open outwards? There's tons more room that way, and I doubt lawsuits were prevalent from injuries incurred from walking past an outward-swinging door.

Excellent observation. If they opened outward you'd have a good chance of hitting someone, seems to be an answer.

i agree with snowbunny, so you can protect yourself from an embarrassing moment if someone pushes your door in.
