There were three toilet cubicles at work (and a urinal) and I noticed this big fat bloke from another Section would always use the middle cubicle while the rest of us would use the end ones so as to have a modicum of privacy and not breathe in the fumes from the contents of another man's bowels. Anyway curiosity got the better of me and I had a look at the middle cubicle thinking...maybe...the toilet seat was different or something and...it was spotless whereas the other toilets tended to have skid marks down the side of the bowl. So this dude was very smart. Essentially he had a private toilet. I now use this valuable knowledge in the shopping mall where I live which has three urinals. The middle one is always the cleanest. So I use it. Ok I feel I get dirty looks from the guys who need to stand right next to me and pee ("why can't the c..t use the furthest one f..king poof!") but wtf! It's nice not having to look at pubes sauteed in phlegm.
MythBusters did an entire episode on this years ago. They went into public restrooms and put counters on the doors to see which stalls get used most often and they did inspections of cleanliness and correlated it to the data etc.
Their conclusion was that the most used stall was the one furthest from the bathroom door and the least used stall was the "second closest" to the bathroom door. The one closest to the door gets the people in a rush, and the one furthest from the door gets everyone who thinks they will get more privacy and/or a cleaner toilet.
Interesting and it bears out what I'm talking about in the 3-toilet situation.
Given shitting and pissing is such an integral part of our lives you'd think more consideration would be given to the availability/maintenance of public toilets.

So most people took the handicap stall...more leg room than privacy I'd say.
