In fact, I’ve faced at least three instances where women blocked the men’s room untill all the girls there finish their job. Like, I hate to point out, but men need to pee, and wtf is that supposed to mean?

Yeah, I think that’s the gist of the “who’s in the stall next to me” issue: it’s not by itself a hill worth dying on. Let them do their business, then they’ll clear out so I can do mine.
