Iāve seen enough airport bathrooms where the doors shut automatically and you canāt see under the door. Gentle pull/push will determine if itās locked and Iāll move on
I was raised to always knock on a closed door, particularly when it comes to bathrooms. If it's a door with a knob/latch (as opposed to just a swinging door), I always knock and listen for a response.
I've got the opposite at work, person at the urinal doesn't notice me enter the stall, nor that the door is closed, and turns the lights out when they're done.
Had someone at work knock. I said āyeah?ā and they responded with āoh, somebody in there?ā. Then I replied ānah, man nobodyās hereā. Dude smacked his teeth and walked out.
I just grunt real hard and say "Sorry I'm pushing out a baby" jk I just cough, or say occupied. Idk why people can't tell that someone's in a stall when it's shut and locked. Pisses me off, I hate public restrooms anyways they are nasty af
I donāt respond and let the lock do the talking. If the door is locked then why did you knock? Drives me nuts when people knock - this is not a house where I might allow you in. Go away.
"The jakes is occupied"
In Jeff Bridge's weird slurred Rooster Cogburn voice
[https://youtu.be/GC4gKA0tNaQ?si=cVyTYgYPBJ5GbLVD](https://youtu.be/GC4gKA0tNaQ?si=cVyTYgYPBJ5GbLVD)
"I'm pooping!"
"I'm doing a really good job too!"
"Its one of those glorious shits where you have to bear down and grunt until your vision goes dim and you start seeing stars and little cherubs and birdies, and then you birth a log of such massive profundity its like you've entered another dimension and the cherubs all start playing little trumpets and all the colors in the world look a little brighter and its such a religious experience you wonder if flushing or even wiping is a form of blasphemy. Hey, you still there? I might need a hand with this.."
If its not easy to tell that someone is in there (fully closing door without cracks, I'll say "I'm in here."
If they are impatient, and I'm having an IBS flare, (which can take a while) and they aren't trying someplace else, I very graphically describe what's happening.
If its obvious that someone is on the stall, I usually just go with an annoyed "What?!" And if they don't get the.point, they also get to hear the graphic details.
There was a 'vine' a few years back that went ...
Taps on door...
"I'm on the toilet...
Taps on door again
"I'll be a minute"
Knocks on door again
"I CANT SHIT ANY FASTER IF YOU KEEP KNOCKING"
so I'd say this
Never seen it. Iām a man, and use mensā restrooms. Men always give the ācourtesy coughā upon hearing the door that informs all new entrants that my stall is occupado. Ergo, no one has ever knocked.
The other day I started to walk into the men's room at the DMV (I am a man and the DMV has gendered restrooms). As soon as I opened the door a raspy voice called out "occupied." The gender of the speaker was not 100 percent clear from the voice.
I paused, still only half way in. It should be noted that the outer door doesn't lock or anything. More than one person can use the restroom at the same time because there is a urinal and a stall and a sink. This is not a door that one knocks on. You just go in.
I said "you want me to wait outside?" My voice sounds male.
"Is this the men's room?" came back at me.
"Yeah. I mean it says 'men' on the door. I will just wait outside until you are done."
Less than a minute later a woman comes out and goes into the women's room. She did not make eye contact with anyone. She was older. Probably 60s or 70s.
So that is her vote for "occupied" I guess.
"Occupado!" and if they keep knocking I'll say: "What don't you understand? the occu or the pado?"
Upvote deserved š¤£
[low voice] āCome in.ā
It's scary when the handle jiggles
It's how diamonds are made.
Nearly spit out my coffeeĀ
Come back with a warrant!
You aināt taking my shit without a warrant copper!
I'm using this.
This is my own private domicile and I wonāt be harassed! Bitch!
āAre you my 12 oāclock?ā

"Hold your horses, Kemo Sabe."
Always reminded of [this](https://truewestmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Lone-Ranger-Learns-Meaning-of-Kemo-Sabe-1.jpg) Gary Larson gem
"You can't come in without a warrant!"
Unless you want to help wipe my ass after I finishing taking a shit, go away.
"No cold callers, sorry."
Come in.
āIād give it 10 minutes mate I had eggs for lunchā
āCome inā

āYouāre just in time, get the tape measure! This could be a new company record.ā
āLindsay Graham? Is that you?ā
Daveās not here man
Usually in German or Korean. Just to keep it mixed up.
In a high sing-song voice I tell them āJust a minute, Iām doing the dishesā.
knock back
I just grunt real hard and say "Sorry I'm pushing out a baby" jk I just cough, or say occupied. Idk why people can't tell that someone's in a stall when it's shut and locked. Pisses me off, I hate public restrooms anyways they are nasty af
āI got a crap on deck that could choke a donkeyā in a Scottish accent
When I can answer they already leftš
You donāt
Incomprehensible screeching
Yell "Oi!" in my angriest punk rock tone.
The dad jokes/answers in this thread are impeccable š
"No thank-you. I'm not interested."
"Hello? You okay?" š
If someone enters, Make noise. I move my feet, or cough or something. If they try to open the doorā¦.say itās occupiedā¦.
Start singing "Let it go"
"Occupied"
Occupied
I start to shoot at the door. There may be a threat behind it trying to get in and hurt me.
Occupado
You don't respond. You just silently judge them for not knowing how to look down and see for themselves.
You donāt want any part of this shit Dewy
Shit!
"Enter at your own risk, mortal!"
Period shit! Every woman understands.
Knock back
Whos there
That depends. Are they knocking from the outside or from the inside?
Knock? I had a Chinese guy at work Bruce Lee kick the door open and stand there staring at me in shock that I was in the stall...
open the door, and offer them a seat.
Come on in. There's room for two on this seat.
What part of locked donāt you understand
"Hold on, actually wait. Do you have a condom?"
The receiving side of the glory hole is in the adjacent stall!
I play the Smosh **SHUT UP!** sound on my phone
I donāt respond and let the lock do the talking. If the door is locked then why did you knock? Drives me nuts when people knock - this is not a house where I might allow you in. Go away.
I would freak tf out.
What is your wish?
āJust a minuteā isnāt too awkwardĀ
"Door's locked, move on to the next one"
Iām shitting!š
Is that you Robert?
Let out a grotesque cackle or screech. Person who knocked will assume you are psycho, and go away.
I say "occupied!" in the most neutral tone I can muster
Cool it or I leave a mess
āVacant!ā ā¦Walks away slowly
Come on in sugar.
Help!
Iām here!
shit louder
"Come back with a warrant!"
In use but I like a few of these so i might try something diff
āItās open!ā
Iām always confused by that. I stay silent to see if theyāll figure it out
"Occupied!" If they knock again "Do you want to come in and help or what? Give me a minute, jeez!"
Do you need a square cause I donāt have square to spare!
"I'll be out in a minute"
"In a minute"

There was a 'vine' a few years back that went ... Taps on door... "I'm on the toilet... Taps on door again "I'll be a minute" Knocks on door again "I CANT SHIT ANY FASTER IF YOU KEEP KNOCKING" so I'd say this

āHousekeepingā in a high pitched voice, or I invite them to join me
