Not really. The curtious knock before you try the handle is fine. Just respond with a grunt. But when they knock and you say occupied yet they still try the handle, they have issues. Or they are stone dead.

I always knock on a door before I enter the room. With the exception for my bedroom though.
I found out that people are generally much nicer if you just politely knock on the door before barging in. Like the couple who were making out in the closet at work, they opened it, asked what I needed, gave me what I needed, and I shut the door and let them get back to whatever they were doing. The higher ups also appreciate it when I knock to politely get their attention when giving them the P&ID's, Drawings, Blueprints, etc... to finalize plans for production.

I'm going to assume the uber fat lady had an emergency. But still - that is seriously disturbing. Why would she not stop? Even if it were an emergency? There is nothing she could do to quicken your pace, or to magically open the door.
I'm still fairly certain it was not an emergency. And even if it was, it's still happened to me plenty of times by people whom I'm positive were not having an emergency.
[*]People only got in the passing lane to pass. - People only get in the right lane to pass. Role reversal of the lanes.
[*]If you were merging on to a two-lane+ highway and there was no one in the left lanes, people would get out of the right lane to let you on. - Everyone floors it to make it past you in the right lane, regardless of the traffic of the left lanes.
[*]In grocery stores, shoppers were generally cognizant of their surroundings. - People blow right through you. If you're there, you get whacked by their carts, shopping bags, anything else they're carrying, their bodies, children... No apologies, not even a hint that they even realized you existed.
[*]People yielded to yellow lights. - Everyone floors it to get by it in time, in addition to a minimum of four cars which blow through the red lights.
[*]People formed lines in fast food restaurants. - No lines. Everyone stands where ever there is open desk space, all equally demanding attention, regardless of whether or not the cashier is occupied with a customer.
[*]You drop something, you pick it up. - You drop something, and unless it is of monetary value, you walk away as quickly as possible and deny its existence.

Now, the strange part is that none of these things are necessarily out of animosity. They just are what they are. Most people are still just as agreeable on speaking terms. :confused:
I could individually reply to all those things that people in my city do on the road to and they certainly bug the shit out of me. But yes, interestingly enough, it doesn't just seem to be happening more simply because the population is also going up.
So there I was, a 11-12 year old boy, just walking the streets of out small town(all towns in Sweden except stockholm are pretty much considered small) just checking out stores, I think that was around the time I bought Diablo 2 for the first time to. So my condition tells me that it's time to seek out the john, which I do, the very closest facility I can find is at a pizzarestaurant just across the street, I sneak in to use the restroom without purchasing a pizza(shame on me). Halfway through, someone pulls the handle, I get sort of nervous for a second, since this was a new experience for me, after 2 seconds this person on the otherside of the door starts furiously pulling on the handle and banging on the door, I basically shit myself(quite literally.). I am in quite chock why someone would do this. I mean, I guess he really had to use the bathroom to, so I finish my buisness and get the hell out of there as fast as I can.
Mind you that I was only a very young boy, so when I unlock the door and walk out with my head down, feeling like I've done something wrong for using the bathroom to the extent that I needed it. This guy looks at me, I only saw his face briefly, but I have never seen someone prior or after that moment that looked so ashamed. He quickly apologized for his behaviour and took over the restroom, even before I manage to leave the restaurant I hear how he goes at it. I sure understand why he was in such a hurry.
That's a sad story for both of you. I guess at least that guy apologized but as a kid I'd be pretty damn scared if someone was trying to barge in on me like that. Perhaps he assumed no one was in there and the door was jammed?
Could you have a similar condition to I, perhaps? Ever since around the age of 12 when my body started changing I developed an acute anxiety disorder exacerbated by what I'm fairly certain is irritable bowel syndrome. It makes you very opinionated about public restrooms as well and you have to develop certain skills to quickly seeking them out and making the best of otherwise undesirable locations.
Well, here people either knock or simply try to enter the restroom.
Thing is i rarely lock when i don't plan to stay long so i have occasional visitors from time to time that go "oh, sorry" when they enter without knocking.
Trust me, I'm very sensitive to other people with emergencies. But I mean, she WAS in a hospital. You can't find a building with more bathrooms than a hospital. But regardless, I'm almost positive she was not having an emergency. And I've had emergencies before like that too. And if a bathroom was locked, I'd simply haul ass to the next nearest bathroom. I've done it before lots of times.
I still find this funny. This happens to me at work. If I have to use the bathroom and notice that the handle isn't budging, then I come back later. But now, if I know it's the Chief engineer, I roll a few heavy items in front of the door so he has a harder time getting back out. But to be in there and have someone jiggle the handle to see if [i]just maybe[/i] it'll open for them if they get it just right, is usually the time I yell out "Fucking occupied".
Thank you, sir. See all this understanding is making me feel like I DON'T have to come to work with an assault rifle one day.
It's almost the same thing when people are calling for an elevator! Like bashing on the elevator button would cause the elevator to enter supersonic.... <_<
Or standing in a line for groceries and audibly expressing your displeasure at how slow the line is moving. "Oh come on!!" "This is ridiculous!" "This is a joke, right" "God!" "I'm losing my man tan in here!"
Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I've never had anyone [i]knocking[/i] on the loo door. Always pull the handle at most, which I find pretty logical (some older johns don't clearly show that they're occupied).
Yes, you try the handle and if it's locked you give up. It should be as simple as that.

I read the first 10 posts and then gave up so if this has been stated before, I apologize but...
Maybe this girls comes from a household where doors were always locked. Parents, siblings, every room with a door had a lock on it. Maybe, there were times when the door was locked and nobody was in the room or the door was locked but she still needed to talk to someone. This upbringing conditioned her to knock on the door even though she knew is was locked.

I hardly ever knock, mostly due to the fact that I never want to use public facilities. If I can tell that no one is in there, then I'll just go in. If there's someone in there, then I won't even bother.
"Someone's in there? Fuck it."
But that chick is obviously daft as all hell. I mean, can she not tell that it's locked and it's awkward for the person using the bathroom to be in the middle of their business and feeling like they're rushed or some shit. If someone was harassing me on the john, then I'd take longer, might even start flossing at the sink or something, I don't give a fuck.

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
PG-13
I remember once in high school I was force to hold up a watery burst because someone is literally standing infront of my poop porch, in the end I cave and brings out the cleansing flood.
If they already tried the freaken door knob before the knocks, maybe they just wanted someone to talk to, you know, since they already tried the fucking door knob. What the hell. Let's start getting to know each other you freaken psychopath.
Say something like this to a person. It will brightens up your day.
Haha! that's funny. There are just really some annoying people who get inside bathrooms and think that they own the place. I hate that too much! I'm a girl and I love bathrooms and doing all pampering but some girls are just inconsiderate. It's like your peeing unto a completely clear glass door and people noticing it. LOL.

Yes. Thank you. See it wasn't so much the knocking as it was that she knocked AFTER trying the door.
