The "proximity phenomenon" is when, even though there's 10 open stalls in the bathroom, some rude ass motherfucker decides to use the one RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. He is then very loud (if you know what i mean), and stays in there forever, breathing heavily and using way too much toilet paper. It's the same story every time.

I call it a phenomenon because it denies any sort of explanation. I personally choose the stall farthest away from any other person in the bathroom. Does anyone else notice this? Am I the only one? It completely disgusts me and makes me think less of humanity. I just want some god damn privacy!

This pisses me off more than the existence of vegans and vegetarians.
