Bathroom Etiquette

OK. I have to rant for a second about an unwritten rule of the office restroom. This can apply to either men's or women's restrooms equally.
We have a men's room at the office that has 2 urinals and 4 stalls. When I usually take a cozy shit at the office, I typically pick the last stall on the end, moreso for privacy reasons and the fact that it's lessens the chance that someone will camp out in the stall next to mine. Likewise, when I walk into an occupied restroom, I usually pick a stall that is away from others as a courtesy (unless there's a full house; then there's no choice). It's an unwritten rule, after all.
Without fucking fail, there's always this one dude, who instead of picking the other two available stalls away from my occupied stall, he picks the one next to mine! WTF. NOT COOL.
In the meantime, I get to hear UP-CLOSE a man in his 20th hour of intense labor, followed by heavy panting and wheezing, not to mention, every snap, crackle and plop right in my fucking ear the entire time! GOD. DAMN. IT. Don't get me started on the stink.
What was this person hoping to accomplish by picking the stall next to mine? All Larry Craig jokes aside, there was no tapping of any sort or overt signals of the like. Was this person hoping to passive aggressively force me out of the restroom so he could have it all to himself? FUCK. THAT. SHIT. I will wait you out, bitch.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF ONE IS AVAILABLE, PICK THE STALL FURTHEST AWAY FROM ME!!!
Edit: I think I know how to fix this: take out the roll of toilet paper in the stall next to mine every time. Ha!
