upstairs bathroom effect

A phenomenon in which an occupant of an upstairs bathroom is unable to hear what individuals downstairs are yelling up to him.

Marie: (To Kenneth) Darling, your brother is on the telephone!
SILENCE
Matthew: Alas, dear; he is using the upstairs bathroom and is thus unable to hear that which you are attempting to communicate to him. He may as well be deaf. This is a superb example of the so-called upstairs bathroom effect.

Bathroom Effect

A psychological phenomenon named the bathroom effect where individuals release immoral desires due to the fact they cannot be seen nor punished by anyone. (I.e.- broken bathrooms)

Person 1: Why do people like breaking things in the bathroom so much.
Person 2: Well it’s due to the Bathroom Effect.
