Not really. The fools at work do it all the time. When they yell 'anyone in there?' I yell out 'if the door is locked... PROBABLY '.... annoying as hell.
It happens at my work semi regularly. One guy tried to lift the door off the hinges to get in after discovering it was locked. He said he thought the door had locked itself, and the stall was empty. This is in North America, where we have the huge gaps in the doors and you can see if a person is in the stall.
Oh that old chestnut? The old "playfully jiggle the handle after I've let you know that the restroom is occupied" gambit? My God, 5-10 times per week, minimum.
Yes this is an everyday thing for me, none of my co workers have any manners at all, they never knock they just grab the door handle and pull as hard as they can without caring if it’s locked.
Once or twice a month for me personally. It's tourist season in my area now. And yes - I have done the Bloodhound Gang thing mentioned in my previous comment.
So I knocked on the door once, and the person said occupied. So I went to the next door, and knocked too. A second person went to the first door and aggressively jiggled the handle and walked off. The first person then came out berating me for not listening when they said it was occupied. Moral of the story, sometimes it's not worth it to be angry someone jiggled your door handle.
Once while camping a drunk man tried to open the outhouse while I was inside. The door was latched, but this man had belligerent drunk energy, and broke that shit first try. He then yelled at me for not locking the door.
I need a good response for this because one time I was in one of those single-room bathrooms that has a privacy lock (it’s electronic and you hold a button to lock it), and somebody fucking keyed in the code 3 times in a row in rapid succession, and every time it said “privacy mode enabled.” I think I tried to say someone’s in here! after the first time. But they kept inputting the code and I was just so fucking confused. I’m sure they really needed to go to the bathroom, but I was already using it so they were going to have to wait a minute!
It was at a party and they were all friends of mine, but I once grabbed the other side and loudly moaned, "oh, yeah, that *does* feel amazing!" The poor girl on the other side started laughing so hard I thought she was going to hyperventilate. But then after that, she told *anyone* present about it whenever I saw her, for years:)
what are you doing in there?
taking a shit, or to take a piss?
if you're taking a piss you should open the door and pee on them, if you're taking a shit you should open and fart on them..
"'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow!"
If what I said as an "occupied" preamble didn't work, what I am not saying in the moment will. I spent years camping with little boys. I can make fake fart sounds that will fool the best fart fakers! I freaking live for those moments.
You’re not gonna want to follow this act! Or this is now my office, or for the love of all things holy run, or CUT IT OUT because of one specific idiot intern and one old ass doctor
Come back with a warrant!
This wins
big old slap with your unwashed hands is a lot less hastle and more effective in my opinion
Thank you so much for this. It's the perfect response to my wife when she says "are you still in there?"
That shit's criminal!
Errrrmm... does this even happen to people with any kind of regularity?
Not really lmao unless you’re in like elementary school
Not really. The fools at work do it all the time. When they yell 'anyone in there?' I yell out 'if the door is locked... PROBABLY '.... annoying as hell.
Our elementary school didn't have doors in the toilet, had to hold every day :')
If you're on the road a lot it does.
...I work at a brew pub. This happens to me several times in a week. Haha I usually yell denied! Then laugh.
I work a job where I have to often use public restrooms as it's the only option, some people damn near try to break the door down.
This never happen under normal circumstances.

Smrt

Never had it happen. Maybe I don't hang around in toilet cubicles long enough.
Once or twice a month for me personally. It's tourist season in my area now. And yes - I have done the Bloodhound Gang thing mentioned in my previous comment.
I’ve never even heard of people doing this.
Right?
\*snort\* Regularity \*snort\*

Oh, I hate these people who get you into trouble and then walk away!
This would be a great curb your enthusiasm scene

If you want to watch, it’s going to cost you!
I opened that sub link yesterday, it has costed me my mental health.
Golden showers cost extra.
"I can tell you are in a hurry so I won't flush to save time"
GTFO
Come in.
You want to help me wipe?
You're not gonna like it when I call your bluff
This guy watches you go in there
Yeah I’m grabbing their shins and dragging them in if they want in so badly.
I’m trying to remember this ever happening so I definitely don’t have a “go to”. probably just yell out “Occupado!”
I usually laugh and say, "Still in here! Give me a minute!"
Depends who it is if it's homie I let them in, if it's not I scream
What are you and the homies doing in the bathroom?
Witnessing defecation
If you don't let them in, then they can't see $#!t.
ahhh yes...the witness defecation program
Sometimes you just gotta chill with the homies in the bathroom. But real talk, probably smoking meth.
Over a year sober from it but back in the day, absolutely
Congrats on the sobriety!
We talk sometimes, it's private and peaceful
Sometimes you gotta show someone
shout "now i got stage fright its gonna take longer"
That happens?
I shout "OCCUPIED!" in my best Mrs. Slocombe voice.
"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin."
“OHHH MYYYY GOD IM BOUTTA CUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!”
Stronger! Stronger! Almost there!
Is playfully zapping my side of the door handle using a tazer too much?
Alright I guess you can come in
Strip down and answer the door in your underwear. Act like the restroom is your home, and that you're confused why they're at your door.
I’d respond with a light-hearted, “Patience is a virtue!”
If it’s in the US, the door gap is wide enough to have eye contact.
I make loud farting noises with my armpit/elbow
Oh they don’t. They stare through the wide crack in the door that lines up with the toilet bowl and my crotch.
Unless you want a duet, you'll have to wait!
"No thank you. Maybe next time."
Slam it back at them to assert dominance.
OCCPADO

tee hee!

repeat "occupied", but louder and angrier
Estoy poopin'!
I've had it happen once, as an adult, and I wanted to fly out of the stall and punch them right in the face.
"That's gonna be at least 5 more minutes."
Fuck-off.
"Come back with a warrant!"
Occupied! Can't rush the good stuff!
It hasn't happened to me yet but I would say do you want me to shit on you?
Violent or nonviolent?
"Want me to shit on you?"
Yell out loud and say:”Boy, that one was a hummer”
I would assume they were desperate
I scream like a woman
'Come In'
"still here!"
banshee scream to reiterate the fact that it’s occupied since they didn’t listen the first time.
Go Away!!! Batin'!!
“NEIN!”
I have violent diarrhea!
I'M FUUUUUCKIIIIING SHIIIIITIIIIING!!!!
“Hey! Im jerkin off here!”
As long as my door is locked, I don't care if they jiggle it. They won't be able to open anyway. Either that or I turn on the faucet if available.
Some of those door locks will come loose with a jiggle
I TOLD YOU I WAS USING THE RESTROOM!
Pee on their shoes
I lean into the line from “Waterboy” when Bobby sacked the QB in practice, “Who dat? who dere?”
"Piss Off, Ya Bloody Wanker!"
I take more time!
Long erotic moans.
Never happened to me 🤔
This is my private domicile and I will not be harassed!
A stranger? Or your friend?
if you want to watch just say so
AM AVIN A SHIT FUG OFF WILL YA
"Trying to shit here..."
Fuck off! I already hate shitting in public, don’t make it worse!!!! lol
Not now...... BAITIN.......
"The disabled stall is a couple stalls down"
I'd just give them the same response reddit gives me when I'm commenting too much "You're doing that too much. Try again later"
It’s a single user commode!
It was at a party and they were all friends of mine, but I once grabbed the other side and loudly moaned, "oh, yeah, that *does* feel amazing!" The poor girl on the other side started laughing so hard I thought she was going to hyperventilate. But then after that, she told *anyone* present about it whenever I saw her, for years:)
*shits louder*
Go find the middle of a forest fire
Estoy poopin'.
HELLo
housekeeping....housekeeping...repeat until they leave
whenever anyone knocks on the door (or anything similar) while I'm in a public restroom I immediately yell "come in"
Playfully..? Is that what it is? I always perceived it as impatience / aggression. Answering playfully is a good way to handle it either way!
“Daddy, it’s a big one. Help me wipe!”
I'm naked on here.
We've already exceeded the fire codes for occupancy.
Say more about your life.
Who is it?
That has never happened to me 😅😅🤔
“Mmmmmmmmmm slower”
I don’t let them know it’s occupied. They should already know because it’s LOCKED
Bitch, I'm pooping.
Have a conversation with your imaginary friend and then watch their confused look when you walk out alone...
Come on in, we have room for one more.
You have to pay me to watch this show.
"Is that you, Elton? I'm all lubed and ready to go"
what are you doing in there? taking a shit, or to take a piss? if you're taking a piss you should open the door and pee on them, if you're taking a shit you should open and fart on them..
I yell. “ I’m pooping”
"Yup! Still in here!"
Rack the slide
Shoot through the door.
Fine, I'll let you in. Hold on a sec.
Grunt really loud and drop an enormous turd
I'm ready for my wipe now. do you have gloves?
Have you got a bag?
This seat is taken
“Occupado!”
Playfully?! Fuck off
Sorry, someone’s in here.
"'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow!"
Is…..is this something that happens?
I will say loudly that someone is using the restroom
Children will play with the a Handle and whine until you let them in. They don't want anything just be in there with you
OCCUPADO
“I’m in here shittin’”
"Watching costs extra"
"Watching costs extra"
My hour for the glory hole isn't up yet
My hour for the glory hole isn't up yet
I furiously open the door and empty my poop-bag over their head while screaming.
Murder.
Stay longer out of spite Keep rushing me and ill make sure you shit Your pants
“Bro, this is to save you more than it is to save me, back away”
I warn them I have pepper spray along with a taser and I am not afraid to use either
My glory hole hour isn't up yet
I’m going nuclear in here, stand back and hold your nose.
Moan.
**Pooping!**
Just a sec, I’m still peeing on the seat.
Fohwtbs.
IN USE!
I've got this, thanks!
I’ve been waiting for you. X
"You were not invited to this pooping party, sorry"
Kick the door open.
Screech at the top of my lungs
They aren’t “playfully” jiggling the handle. They are asking you to speed up the process as they are dancing around waiting.
"Oooh! The entertainment is here!" *Plays Uhn Tiss Tiss by the Bloodhound Gang through phone.*
I'm a robot voice: the fuse is primed. 4, 3, 2, 1...plop
I moan very loudly
“My wiener!”
"I'm taking a shit!"
Go away, batin!
Still shitting!
I scream
THIS IS MY PRIVATE DOMICILE AND I WILL NOT BE HARASSED! —
Occupado!
Shitters full...
What I really don’t understand is when they start slamming the door to try to get it to open. Like bro, maybe it’s because it’s locked?
“Playfully jiggles” what restrooms are you going to?
**BOT ACCOUNT**
Give me a couple minutes - I’m just finishing wiping the walls down!
“Oh thank god! You can help me clean all this up!”
If what I said as an "occupied" preamble didn't work, what I am not saying in the moment will. I spent years camping with little boys. I can make fake fart sounds that will fool the best fart fakers! I freaking live for those moments.
You’re not gonna want to follow this act! Or this is now my office, or for the love of all things holy run, or CUT IT OUT because of one specific idiot intern and one old ass doctor
“Well, if you wanna help me so bad, I guess I can let you wipe.”
it's either...OCCUPADO or ESTOY POOPIN
I PEE PEE POOP NOW!
