The Effects of Excessive Water Consumption

Sometimes I wonder if anyone else thinks the way I do. Sometimes I hope they do! But sometimes it's probably better that no one does...

Allow me to relate to you one of the more unusual thoughts that often crosses my mind.
I will begin with a story.

I work at an office on the campus of Brigham Young University. I spend approximately twenty hours a week in that office. The end.

Twenty hours a week + sitting at a computer for at least 2 hours at a time = much water consumption.

Much water consumption = many bathroom breaks.

During these bathroom breaks, I walk about 50 feet down the hall, enter the "Women's" room and proceed to enter the first stall on the left.  I daresay, that unless it is occupied or unless I've made up my mind to absolutely NOT use the first stall on the left, I always use the first stall on the left. Since this behavior has started at work, I have noticed that I typically gravitate toward the first stall (on the left or right - I'm non-discriminatory) in other lavatory locations.

Having recognized this behavior, I have come to wonder if other people are like me. Does everyone have a favorite stall? You know, a favorite stall - like one might have a favorite color or number - something that is otherwise meaningless but seems to be important when pointed out or discussed?

It has also made me think of science. So much so, in fact, that part of me wants to go down to the local "Sammy's Science Store" (if only there was one....) and buy some Petrie dishes to perform experiments.  You see, the first stall to the left is almost always vacant.  I don't think many people's favorite stall, if they have a favorite, is the first one.  Perhaps they want to avoid the situation that every soul who enters or exits the bathroom must walk past the first stall, or a line could likely form just in front of it? I'm not sure - but stall #1 just isn't Ms. Popular.*

*disclaimer: when a line has formed, as in the case of show intermissions, class breaks and other such events, the first stall is used just as much as any and isn't necessarily avoided.  It is the "down times" of which I speak - where any given client has the choice of just about any stall they want. And they hardly choose the first.

My friends, this is why the first stall is my favorite.  People avoid it = less usage = less yucky-scary bathroom germs infested in the first stall to the left.  At least, this is what I have concluded with concrete and deliberate observation.

I do hope one day to confirm this theory with science.
