This wasn't a reason for me until reading this is even a thing. I hadn't realised someone would be listening this closely... but no thoughtcrime, so I guess to each their own. What I don't know doesn't hurt me, just don't tell me such thoughts...

My sincere apologies if this causes you additional anxiety.

I only do it for my own amusement. I don't inflict my "guessing" upon my colleagues, no one knows. For me, it's a lesson in working out "how may I maximise my anonymity".

I generally respect the "polite silence" rule upon entering the ceramic room - someone else must break the rule before I will.

Don't read on if it literally will cause more anxiety.

I was in a different 'cubicle' and noticed that the shadows meant I could see that the person next to me was using their phone, so now that's an additional consideration for minimising my identifiable footprint on the throne.

“…”

“OK, no problem buddy”
