Workplace Restroom Incident

Today at work someone opened up the unisex bathroom door on me. I had it locked but the perpetrator attacked the door like Seabass in Dumb and Dumber. I can’t believe this happened. I hope they don’t tell anyone or share information on social media.

They catch you with your helmet off Lord Vader? Embarassing.

Yeah, it is pretty much on you if you leave the door to a uni-sex public bathroom is left unlocked. Feel sorry for the OP that will never be able to un-see any of this.

On a side note, when on RAGBRAI I always knock on a porta potty door it I didn't just see someone walk out of it. About once a year there will be someone in there that forgot to lock the door. Of course on RAGBRAI there is always a good chance alcohol is involved.
Tailgating people forget to look the porta pottys all the time. One time last year I opened to a dude pissing and got mad at me, so I told him 'lock the ******* door, moron'
 
While not on that level for male/female, I did have a coworker who opened the unlocked (it was tricky, you had to pull up slightly on the handle to get it to correctly lock) stall door on our company owner. This was down at a project and we might see the owner (i.e. the guy who's last name is on our checks) once or twice a year. Found him outside in the yard smoking a cigarette about 15 minutes later (and he basically never smoked).

Oh, and you always knock on a port-a-john door on a construction site. Amazed at how many people forget to lock the doors.
 
We have a staff restroom at school. A 1 seater. I'm always terrified I'm going to either walk in on someone who forgot to lock the door, or forget to lock the door myself and get walked in on mid push.
 
I worked at a Fareway in HS and a little bit of college and people would walk in on me all the time. The pooper stall didn’t have a door, just a divider you had to walk around and no lock on the door. I’d purposely stick my foot under the divider so people could see it but I still got people snooping around.

I had an old guy walk around the divider, stop, reach down a foot from my legs to grab some poopy paper off the roll and blow his nose not once, but twice. All while attempting to carry on a conversation with me. His last words to me were, “it must be something you ate”. It was the most awkward encounter of my life.
 
Even if you just saw someone walk out of a porta potty you still may want to knock just in case. At a music festival I saw a guy leave a porta potty and I started walking over to the door. Right before I opened it the door opened and a woman walked out. I passed on that one and waited for another to open up. There are only so many things two people could possibly be doing together in a porta potty and I didn't want to be the first one in after whatever they were up to.

Tailgating last year we saw a guy go in and about a minute later saw another guy go in. I had already had enough at that time that boldy went over to the kybo and started hitting the outside of it with both hands and yelled " Hurry the F-up!!" By then a lined had formed and the audience started clapping when both guys came out.
