bathroom camping

This has been a practice for many years for which we have not had a name — until now.  In moments of stress it can be calming to retire to the bathroom and shut yourself in a cubicle, sit on the toilet, and shed a few tears or take a few deep breaths.  According do some data, men shut themselves away to read in peace. You can emerge when your feelings are under control and your anxiety has abated — or the book is finished

Gen Z has given it this name.  Perhaps they feel more assertive in their right to claim a cubicle for an extended period of time than previous generations who felt obliged to exit as soon as possible.
