If ever there was a reason to claim anonymity in a newspaper article, bar fearing terrible repercussions or threats to your personal safety, then this could possibly maybe be it. 

An article in the New York Times about the new upgraded bathrooms at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in the city made a bit of a stir on social media today, after a section of the piece quoting one of the people who had given their opinion on the facilities on offer had a rather strange line in it.

The piece outlined what one particular woman said about the new bathrooms, describing them as having "black shiny granite-y sink. Arched faucets by Sloan. Tasteful slate gray and powder gray tiles", although that wasn't the reason it was so popular. Rather, the woman remained unnamed as she had asked to be given anonymity in the final printed article. Why? We'll let her explain.  

Reaction to the piece has been largely positive, with most people finding it funny, although some have complained that it trivialises the importance of a journalist being able to grant anonymity. Either way, she's achieved a life goal, at least.
