Science says: this is the cleanest toilet of the bunch

Just after the security check at Schiphol (where you now have to stand in line for four hours without peeing), is the toilet. Right at the bottom of the stairs, to the left of the bookstore. This is also the toilet where everyone takes toilet selfies, including myself. After peeing, that is, because I always have to make a pit stop after being thoroughly checked from head to toe. My big question to you is: which toilet stall do you always take?

I dare to say that everyone has a tactic. At least I do. And I even recently adjusted my tactic. I used to always take the toilet in the corner, as far away from the entrance as possible. Until I discovered that a lot of people do this. And the goal is precisely to get a toilet that is used the least. Meanwhile, I go for the second one and there is a thought behind it. The furthest one is used the most along with the first toilet in line, because that one is for the person in urgent need. That's why I now choose the second one, but is that really wise?

Yes, research from the University of California shows. At least, if there are more than three toilets. The most popular toilet among toilet-goers is the middle one, a.k.a. the third (!) stall. How on earth can you measure this? The toilet paper in the third stall runs out the fastest. From this, you can conclude that a) people in other stalls do not use toilet paper or b) people often settle there for number two or c) this is the most beloved stall. Since option A is just very gross and because we know that option B occurs less often in public women's toilets, it is therefore C. The third stall is popular among those who poop and pee.

After the third stall, the first, fifth, and last stalls in line are favorites. Where do you sit a bit okay on the toilet except for that second one? The fourth stall is also used less often by toilet-goers. So remember those two well when you arrive at the gas station after hours and hours on the toll road or when you just roll out of the security check at Schiphol.

By the way, it's not a guarantee, huh, because you only need one dirty little person in front of you in line and this whole theory can go out the window. But in most cases, you are pretty safe in stalls two and four.
