I was in Bob Evans the other day and went to use the bathroom. There were two stalls. I entered one of the stalls and it looked as if 30 people had shit in the toilet bowl. It did not appear to have overflowed, but as if, 30 people shit in it. I went into the other stall and it was fine.

What I find puzzling about this, is it obvious the toilet wouldn’t flush. But it is also obvious that 30 people shit in the bowl, and it wasn’t just the work of one person. I’ve seen this phenomenon before. What I wonder is, how exactly this occurs. If there is a free toilet that is clean, what impels the herd mentality to continue shitting in the same bowl?
