Super Scientific CP: Stall selection in the Restroom

I have been pondering this one for a while..... Imagine you go into a public restroom and there are 3 open stalls. All three are equally clean (or unclean) and empty. Which stall do you go for? I have a hypothesis but will not skew any decisions now.

    Agree with PP, the first stall is often overlooked, so I use that one

    I go in the first, because there was a study done that the first stall is the least used.

    Same here, but I think everyone saw that study and now everyone uses that one!


    DING DING DING!!! That's my hypothesis :-B

    I hope you're wrong because I tell myself public bathrooms are okay because I use the first stall.

    Do I have kids with me? If yes, then the last stall. If no, the first. I remember reading something about the first stalls usually being cleaner because people avoid them to get more privacy or something. :-/ but really, I try to hold it until I get home.

    Exactly this.

    Obviously everyone saw the episode of Oprah where she told us the first stall is the cleanest. I think in this scenario the middle stall is likely the cleanest/least used. If a room has many stalls I would choose one next to an end.

    I used the public restrooms A LOT working at the airport for 7 years. One thing I noticed was the stall next to the last was always the last one to remain clean (toilet seat up, cleaner bubbles still in the bowl). So that's my go-to option anywhere else... second to last stall. Unless there's only 3 stalls, then I go for the visibly cleanest. So, I didn't vote.

    I will always pick an edge one over the middle one.

    I had never been the first vote in a poll before...I'm nerding out at seeing 100%. :-B it's the little things. I would go in either the first (most likely) or the third, so that if someone else walked in after me, they could hopefully take the other end stall to avoid being right next to me.

    I usually pick first or farthest stall. I hate when there's a million stalls and someone picks the one right next to me. ETA: I picked corner.
    I picked corner too. Unless absolutely a critical emergency and there's no other bathroom around, I will leave a bathroom if an end stall is not available. :-h I have issues.

    i picked the first. and its because i normally wait to go pee in public until i can't hold it anymore, and I'm literally like running to the stall so i don't pee my pants. >.<

    Exactly the reason I usually pick the first stall.
    I think a lot of people have this first stall philosophy therefore it is actually not the cleanest.
