Different Length Timers on Bathroom Lights

Based on some of the things I have heard my boss say about the women in his life, and about women in general, I have a conspiracy theory about the automatic motion sensing lights in the bathrooms at my job. There are two single stall bathrooms, one marked men and one marked women. Employees use either one though, no one cares. Except I have noticed something. There are motion activated lights in both bathrooms. Fine, saves some money and the planet. HOWEVER, the “ladies” room has a timer that turns the lights off after 1 minute. The “Mens” room is 5 minutes. There is not a direct sight line to the motion sensor in either room, so you have to literally get up off the seat if you are not finished with your business and wave around a corner to get the lights back on. It's such a bananas idea…

It's such a bananas idea that I don't quite believe it's true…but if anyone was gonna do it, it would be him. IDK maybe its intentional, maybe it's a mistake, but I would not put it past him to do some shit like that to hasten “turnaround”.
