During my time spent working in an office, I have experienced a number of strange "Office Phenomena". Office phenomena are unexplainable happenings within the office environ. There may be a variety of strange phenoms, but none are stranger than that of the male pee cycle.

At certain times of the working day, I catch the urge to make use of the facilities for waste management. These urges usually appear at roughly the same time every day, but can occasionally fluctuate depending on environmental factors (hot weather, cold weather, hangover, etc). So whenever nature comes a-knocking on my pelvic floor like a Jehovah's Witness at the door, I tend to respond more or less immediately to the call.

Now then, once I have arrived at the toilet, I make my way into the cubicle and perform the necessary task. Come on, we've all done it, there's no shame in it. It is whilst I am in the cubicle that I take note of the comings and goings of other facility users. It has gotten to the point where I can identify a number of people based solely (no pun intended) by the sound that their shoes make on the tiled floor. If someone blows their nose, it's a dead giveaway, don't even try to test me.

This is all circumstantial, I'm here to talk about the pee cycle.

I'm sure you have heard of the phenomenon of the female menstrual cycle. It is supposed that women who spend a long period (no pun intended) of time in close proximity can end up unknowingly synchronising their cycles so that they all have the painters in around the same time. It's never been explained, but it is scientific fact.

Well, I'm proposing that men who spend a long period of time in close proximity can end up unknowingly synchronising their toilet breaks so that they all need to go at roughly the same time. I've not been able to wholly prove this as there have been a number of variables, but riddle (no pun intended) me this:

Why is it that every time I go for a slash, I end up seeing the same people entering or leaving the toilet?
