Which Restroom Stall Would You Choose?

Imagine you walk into a public restroom with five toilet stalls… and by some miracle, all the stalls are available.  Which one do you choose?

In a new poll online, 43% of people say they’d pick #5… farthest from the entrance of the bathroom.  21% would take #4, the next-farthest one.

19% would take #1 … the one on the other end, CLOSEST to the entrance.

11% would take #2, the next-closest.  And finally, 6% would take #3, the middle one.  It’s unclear why that’s the most unpopular… since #2 and #4 also have a stall on either side, but that’s just how it played out.

If they all look clean, you may not think there’s a WRONG answer, but if you watched “MythBusters“, you’d know that there MIGHT be.

In an investigation a while back, they found that the farther stalls from the door actually proved to be dirtier, with more hidden bacteria.  The idea is that they are the more frequently used… and get the grossest throughout the day.  So the 19% who picked stall #1 may be the lucky winners.
