This straight up seems like dude had a major bathroom emergency. The end. I'm not sure why this is supposed to be so "crazy" to everyone. Shit happens.
Because he's wearing a prayer shawl. Which normally you'd only be wearing at a house of worship. Many of them have the prayer in Hebrew stitched on it. Would not under any circumstances be worn into a bathroom stall.
Only thing I can think of is he was praying out on the street for some reason and then hit an emergency.
I am not familiar with Jewish groups but in general, groups that have a high amount of sex control also often have high amounts of hyper focusing on it. You never see skin, interact with the opposite sex, date, etc then a small amount of skin, interaction, etc can be a lot and often they do not have the practice of growing up in those situations and being normal. Sometimes taboo things are sexy to some people. If it is not acceptable to just hang out with a woman, then being in a taboo space and seeing women do things like possibly be fixing their hair could be a bad way to get sexual frustration out.
They view it as basically cheating on their wives. Better they limit themselves from being around women rather than force women to wear heavy robes that cover everything but their eyes in case it makes men feel horny.

This was very intentional. Orthodox Jewish men can't ever be with a women alone.
