Hi, I'm Frances Fry. And I'm Anne Morris. And we are the hosts of a new TED podcast called Fixable.

We've helped leaders at some of the world's most competitive companies solve all kinds of problems.

On our show, we'll pull back the curtain and give you the type of honest, unfiltered advice we usually reserve for top executives.

Maybe you have a coworker with boundary issues, or you want to

know how to inspire and motivate your team. No problem is too big or too small. Give us a call,

and we'll help you solve the problems you're stuck on. Find fixable wherever you listen to podcasts.

Hi, I'm Alex Goldman. This is Hyperfixed.

On this show, listeners writing with their problems, big and small, and I solve them.

Or at least I try.

And if I don't, I at least give a good reason why I can't.

So before I introduce you to this week's episode, I want to formally introduce you to hyperfix producer Amor Yates.

Hey, Alex.

So this week, Amor noticed a surprising trend in our problem submission form.

Apparently, you all had a lot to say about the state of public restrooms.

Amor, can you tell me why public restrooms in particular as a problem intrigued you so much? Yeah. So we had

nearly a dozen public restroom complaints, and I felt compelled to investigate this further,

not just because of the sheer number of these bathroom-related questions, which I should also note

is more than any other submission we have so far, but also because public restrooms might be the bane of my existence.

I mean, I'm not particularly fond of public restrooms either, but they're also not something I've given a ton of thought to.

And it seems like you definitely have.

So why do you hate them?

Have you ever seen the 1999 Tarzan animated film by any chance?
