Why do you guys have gaps around your toilet doors it's so weird

Because we do everything as cheaply and shittily as possible

So true. I was in the UK and my grandmother's front door and windows were like something from 30 years in the future. Such solid material and build quality, and when you lock the door it activates 3 locks; the one at the handle, then one near the top and bottom.

But it seems like doors would break off their hinges way too easily by folding the wrong way.

It doesn't even make sense for cost savings

I mean there’s usually a piece of metal near the latch that prevents them from opening the wrong way, you’d have to use a lot of force to break them.
