I heard that the first stall is the cleanest so I go into that one if it is free. What stall do you like to use?

I heard that too so I use it if it's available! If not, I just slowly open the door of any stall and if it looks clean, I'll go in. Sometimes people just don't flush and it's so gross!

I use the biggest one unless it's reserved for handicapped or parents. I hate feeling cramped and crowded in the stall! If they're all the same, I usually for the last one. I don't know why. It just feels more private?

I always go to the first one too, and I really prefer if it's next to a wall for some reason... seems more private I guess? Haha.

@Rubies: yeah like were you in that much of a rush you can't flush?

I tend to go for the first stall as well, more out of habit than anything. Generally though, I try to avoid the ones that are smack in the middle (if there's a long line of stalls) - I don't like the idea of people on either side of me, haha.

In high school biology I did an experiment. I swabbed the lock of each stall door and grew the samples in petri dishes.
I found out that (at my school at least) the door furthest away from the entry was generally the cleanest. Ever since then, I've always used the stall as far away as I could get

depends on which one's being used. if there are 4, and the first one is being used, i'll use the last one, even if it's handicap. i try to get one that's not right next to an occupied stall.

@penny lane: same. And wasn't it interesting that the bathroom was cleaner than the lockers?
If it's in use or someone just came out I work my way back towards the door.

If all the stalls are empty and clean, I'll go for the first or middle one. If someone is using one, I'll leave an empty stall between me and them.

@Andrea: I heard that the first stall is always the dirtiest!! I never use that one! I try to pick a random one that doesn't seem like it would be the go-to.

If they're all empty and clean, I go to the last one or next to last one. Why? No clue.
Just wanted to add: I hate when you are the only one in there and, if there are more than 3 stalls, the new person STILL picks one right next to you. It makes me feel awkward. Lol.

@mediagirl: i swear i saw on 20/20 it was the cleanest. haha. oh well, i always line the heck out of every toilet anyway!

I always use the same first stall wherever I go, because I heard the same thing about that one being the cleanest... but I've realized that at my office, everyone uses the first stall... so I try to switch it up!
