I'm six foot two, and so when I travel to Latin America I anticipate some inconveniences based on my height: I'll have to slouch or tuck in my knees in cars, or be extra careful going up and down stairs, and so on. I've never, though, felt that my height needed to be a handicap in bathrooms until I got to Mexico, where apparently they feel that decent-sized stalls are immodest. As a result I have more than once been in a bathroom that allowed me to either sit down or close the door, but not both at the same time. It's a situation with even less dignity than slamming your head into a low-lying ceiling in front of a plaza full of people.
