"About half a decade ago, psychiatrist and author Shizuo Machizawa proclaimed discovery of the "lunchmate syndrome," used 
to describe the stress felt by school newcomers who, finding it so troublesome or stressful to make new friends with whom 
they could sit together for lunch in the dining hall or cafeteria began taking their meals in toilet cubicles."
