Hello?

Today, I waited for the single bathroom for a very long time. I finally knocked on the door and found no one was in there. FML

Probably should have tried knocking once you reached the bathroom.

I've done this more times than I care to admit.

I've done this many times. Admittedly, I've peeked under to see if I can see shoes :')

What told you that there was someone in there?

What made you think anyone was in there?

I'd put £5 on a wild guess that the toilet door was shut.

Oh that's happened to me a few times too! :P

Casper was taking a dump. Must have been done when you knocked.

It should be a rule: When occupied, door is closed. When unoccupied, door is open. With no confusion, people would know better than to barge into a closed bathroom, and no one has to be forced into a conversation in the middle of doing their business. So I feel ya, OP.

Unless the door closes on its own. The single bathroom for people with physical handicaps is like that.

Reminds me of that FML where the person waited but there was only a pair of shoes in there.

Unless you see someone enter right before you, or you hear the telltale sounds of a bathroom in use (flush, sink, bodily functions ... etc.), there is no harm in knocking: 1) If you hear nothing, go right in. 2) If you hear "Someone's here" or some variant, just wait your turn. 3) If you hear "Please come in!", back away slowly and go choose another bathroom ... preferably on another floor or better yet in another building!
