My work used to have the bathroom on a one-minute timer, so you’d end up in the dark if you were too still at the urinal.

So you have to choose how you want someone to perceive you if they walk in while you’re mid-stream:

  • “Was this guy dancing while peeing or just shifting his weight a lot?”
  • The lights flickering for just a second as you frantically wave one hand over your head
  • A piss goblin who has fully embraced the darkness

Wouldn't everyone just know you'd be doing that because of the lights?

People that work there, yes. But it was next to a conference area which often had folks from out of town or external to the company. Dudes in suits who are just there to shake hands and give a presentation.

So imagine some highly honored guest chuckling with the CEO and then 5 seconds later opening the bathroom door to find a sweaty nerd in flannel flailing around at the urinal.
