They used to do that in ancient Rome. Using the toilet was a social thing. They were set in a shape of a semicircle so that you can face your fellow toilet mates and chat with them! You would have debates and social gatherings at a public latrine!
They even used a communal sponge to wash their as ses with.
Gross! All too common in the past though.
When in Rome...

While laying over for 30 hours in Japan on the way to Okinawa in 1961, a fellow Navy travelor and I went down to Tokyo - upon entering the main train station we discovered that the toilets were unisex and open. Had no problem then, probably wouldn't now in the culture having it.

When you're in the hold tank, it's just one toilet with no walls. If that's the only choice you got, I suspect you would give everyone a show on the throne and not on the floor.

I don't use public toilets. I'm so glad I pee standing up.

as opposed to what...crapping my pants. if you had to go bad enough, you'd gladly sit next to someone rather than use leaves in the woods as t.p. it is rather unusual though.
