So I'm in the bathroom at my work place. Not even taking a dookie. But just peeing. And someone from the outside grabs the handle trying to make their way in. Upon discovering I, you know, locked the fucking door....this person then proceeds to knock on the door.
Why? Why on earth do people do this? The door is locked. What else can you do? What else can I do?
I'm trying to imagine what's going on in this person's head. Especially after they tried the door a second time, and knocked again!
Does she expect me to come out for her? I say her cause once I did came out I saw it was this uber fat chick waiting to get in. Does she maybe assume that if I didn't know there was someone out there I would be spending more time than necessary in the bathroom? Cause you know, that's exactly what I want to do, isn't it? Spend as much time as possible inside a public bathroom.
So what else could it be? Does she expect me to answer the door like someone's at the front door of my house? "No sorry, the toilet can't see you right now. It currently has an appointment. With me. Cause you know, I'm in here..."
I thought maybe she knocked out of some misguided attempt at politeness. Cause this is hardly the first time people have knocked on a bathroom door when it was locked. But if so, what is the logic behind this gesture? Is it to remind me that other people exist? No, cause again I'm not in the bathroom cause I really want to be. I'm in here cause I had to be. Was it a code of some kind? Should I have knocked back?
I just couldn't get over the sheer stupidity of it all. I've tried so hard imagining why people do this and I think they do it for no other reason than they were taught to do it. But that only raises the further question of why? Why were they taught to do this? When did all start? Why haven't their brains shouted at them how stupid a thing it was to do.
So was she having an emergency, perhaps? I've wondered this before. But upon seeing this woman in the hallways she was just casually bubble bobbling around. She didn't seem in any hurry. As far as I can tell she just did it cause it was her own fucking impulse to do so. And impulse instilled at her in a very young age when her stupid parents taught it to her.
Can anyone else feel angry with me on this? It's not even that the knocking affected me in any serious way. But it is just one of those things people do in life that makes absolutely no sense in the world to me yet they keep doing it anyway. And I get even angrier if I think it's not bothering anyone else. But it is, right? Am I alone in this?
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.
Lol yea if the door is locked then that usually means someone is in there......*knock knock* lol

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
You're definitely not alone in this, knocking and pulling the door knob, twice?
I'm disgusted!
If not out of my way on the following, I do experience my difficulties when being disturbed by someone's knocking and pulling my fucking door knob.
I don't like having to shutdown my proceeding, and pluck! having to continue my proceeding knowing there's a female monkey outside ready to jump in. In a perfect world, I'll finish up nicely and exit the place, two minutes after I exited the station, I'll return and knock the life out of that door knob to prove whatever I experienced inside.
I mean, I guess you could try to trace a bad habit like that back as far as you'd like, but it could be different for everyone. It could be based on ethnicity or economic status. Different life styles lend themselves to different mentalities.
Changes I've see in my local area with the influx of the city into the suburbs in the last fifteen years:
Fifteen Years Prior - Now
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:
A condition of a psychological matter? Or more like a small blader?
Well he should be ashame, and I'm glad to know he was.
I had seen some crazy person's ways of attitude toward children, and there could be a fiction of miserable and disgusting creature hide behind that human skeleton.
A brain that deserves to be bust up good.
Anyway, public bathroom now adays do have switch signals when switch from losed to locked, and to people that stills like to pull and knock furiously, we should just open the door and let him see what the deal is.
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.
i didnt know people did these things... They dont (or not to me) do any of the things above as far as i have seen. Except speeding up to a red light then slamming on the breaks (probably cos its fun).
Some traffic complaints are coming up to this thread.
Some people can surprise you how little they can care about being considerate to others when he gets to drive crazy mad in his metal ride. You always wish the bad guys gets slam mushy mush.
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 just maybe it'll open for them if they get it just right, is usually the time I yell out "Fucking occupied".

Yes, in a perfect world.
