Why is it that when I'm stopped at a red light, the other, on-coming lane always gets the green first, and my lane has to wait until all the cars in the opposite turn lane pass by first before we get the light?  My lane never gets to go first while the other lane waits.

At work, the men's room is between my office and the break room (coffee).  Why is it that when I pass the men's room to get coffee, the door's always open and on one's in there, but when I need to use the men's room, there's always someone in there and the door's always closed? 

Just asking.
