You'd be surprised how often a bathroom lock is just broken or prone to locking after the door closes. When I worked on the road I saw it at least once or twice a week.

I hate this shit. People at my old job did this all the time. If the door is locked, someone is in there, and they hear you repeatedly rattling the handle. If you knock im gonna take longer just to spite you

When I don't reply they just leave and a few minutes later I'm out of there.

To get you to hurry up. I'll usually wait a minute, then beat on it like I'm the cops, and walk away so that you don't know it was me.

Chances are you are probably sitting there posting on CE while I have something to do.

In my experience theyd always try to open it then immediately pound on it. No delay

Yeah this is what inspired the topic. They try the door then immediately knock. Also I'm not going to rush my poop just cause someone else is knocking on the door

Yeah, if I know it's locked I'll aggressively push and pull on the door to freak them out. If no one is around, I'll start banging on the door with a closed fist and yell at them to hurry up.

It's more a sense of urgency imo. Like, if I gotta poop I won't knock. If I got diarrhea I'm knocking to rush you.

If the door is closed, I don't even try the handle and knock first in the rare case that it is occupied and the person forgot to lock the door.

I remember being in the bathroom at work and some dude took a huge loud dump....this was around Christmas time, and Christmas music was on in the background.
It really all made for an interesting moment.

People that knock in general are annoying. If its a single bathroom then check if the door is locked first. If it is then walk away for about 10 mins then come back to check again or stand there and wait.

People dont want to be disturbed while they are in the bathroom.

The person inside will hear the handle move, and thus know somebody is waiting. Derp.

At work someone likes to yell "who's in there" angrily when their preferred bathroom is occupied.

I work in a group home though so it's a bit different.

if you tried the door I know you're waiting. I'm not going to rush myself cause you're knocking. If anything it makes me more likely to wait cause I'm hoping you go away

Actually, that happened at my craziest job.
When they were closing down they do an area check, and ya, there was a dead guy in on of the stalls.
Yes, they knocked first.

He had been in there for 7 hours.
