don't think i could, lol... ( "...public toilet in Switzerland that's made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you're sitting in a clear glass box." ) "The concept of how we react to "seeing but not being seen" was put to the test by 38-year-old architectural artist Monica Bonvicini in December 2003, when her work entitled "Don't Miss A ****" was installed at a construction site (the future home of the Chelsea College of Art and Design) across the road from London's Tate Britain museum. (The same work was also displayed at an art exhibition in Basel, Switzerland, in June 2004.) Bonvicini's creation is a public toilet enclosed within reflective glass walls that allow the user to see out but prevent those outside from seeing in, an exhibit that challenges whether we can adapt to the idea of being able to view others passing in close proximity to us while we engage in an activity which we don't want them to view — even when we know full well that they can't possibly see us. As a spokesman for Ms. Bonvicini explained: It will arouse curiosity because people can come and just use it, although there is a question of whether people will feel comfortable doing so. They may be wary of desecrating a work of art or may be uneasy that because they can see out, other people can see in. There could be this feeling that there is some form of switch to change it and let people see in, but of course there isn't." ( for more info.: http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/toilet.asp#photo )

cosign...I'm a lil self concious, so I couldn't do it if I had to walk out and see a lot of people starin at me. But when it all comes down to it if I REALLY had to go it's whatever.
