I often come across women coming out or in the restrooms in pairs or even groups at the workplace. I never understood this phenomenem but it is apparently everywhere.

Why the hell do you hold your chats in the toilets if they smell?
Esther Zuckerman from the Observer argues that the bathroom is still a place to tell secrets for women.
