There was a time, before I had children, when I practiced proper bathroom etiquette. If I entered the ladies room and a stall was occupied with a person quietly waiting for me to leave, I would go about my business quickly. Truncating my visit, if necessary, only to return when the room was vacated.
Nowadays, time in the loo is much more precious. I never know how long I have or when I will likely be able to return. More often than not, if I do not use the facilities before leaving work I am out of luck until both girls are in bed. Unless I plan on having an audience...who likes to inspect my undergarments and critique my technique.
In other words, I have no time for niceties and politeness. From what I understand, this is not part of the "bro code". Men don't really care about bathroom protocol unless it involves standing too close. Do they actually have it right?

I am positive that people who don't work in an office have NO idea what you're talking about.
But, I know. Oh, how I know!
It's a sensitive situation, but if I'm sick or pregnant, protocol be DAMNED!!
Oh how I remember those days, with you dear.
Oh, bathroom protocol.
Luckily, we have individual bathrooms in my office.
When we only had two it was rough. But now we have 4 so there is no waiting and there are no stalls.
And men just might have it right in this situation.
Enjoy the bathroom time.
