So I've always been faced with a connundrum in terms of when you are using the toilet and someone tries to force open the door and then knocks. Your preoccupation is probably the lowest of human lows - when we are at out most undignified and engaged in the basest of activities.
What do you say??? "Come in and know me better man!"?
I mean, don't people know the toilet is occupied? I may shit very very quietly but you think the closed door would give them an inkling as to the nature of the activities being carried out inside.
And then, don't you knock first if the door is shut? Instead of trying to break it open and in the process scaring the living daylights out of whoever is relieving themselves? This must play havoc with nervous pooh-ers.
I've always adopted the approach that I think a lot of people must take - that when this happens you keep deathly silent until the offending personage realises their mistake and exits amid a stream of muttered curses.
What makes this crime doubly heinous is when both parties know that there is an empty toilet downstairs and this whole awkward situation could be avoided.
