The bathroom stall at work gets 0 bars.

Would be funny if they'd built a Faraday cage around the bathroom to stop people sitting on the toilet on their phones for ages

There's actually a very simple reason for this phenomenon. A standard spring mattress essentially acts like a giant mirror, reflecting all sorts of radio waves, including your cellular signal. This can cause interference, leading to a dead zone in the near vicinity. The same effect was documented back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
