I like being enclosed and sound proofed. I don’t like that it locks in the scent of the last person in there. Some people have too much umami going on.

They aren't soundproof. Orgs have to pump white noise to the area to make them appear to be soundproof.

I once farted in there and had to like open the door in there and stay for an extra 10 min as I’d be so ashamed of someone came in straight after

Then someone lets one rip inside of this and intoxicates the next user.
