I was in the woman's bathroom at my local grocery store and had turned the handle to lock it. I didn't realize the lock wasn't working as it should be, which is why a latch was placed much higher up. I didn't realize why it was there and originally found it odd that it was. While I was going potty someone pushed against the door to see if it was in use and she quickly discovered I was in their. Nothing was said and she closed it again and just used another stall. Needless to say I was a little embarrassed that it happened. It doesn't look like she had any clue in  regards to me.

Whew!

I can relate, Mariah.  I was in the stall at work going and I apparently did not engage the lock all the way when I twisted it.  So, I am sitting there and a lady comes in and goes in the stall next to me and when her do shut firmly mine jarred loose and began to slowly float open (they open outward).  So, I am sitting there with my stall door open finishing my business. LOL  Luckily no one came by my stall while it was open.

Sounds like one of the moments you want to get done and out as soon as possible because I know I did once I knew that door wasn't locked.

Having accidentally walked in on someone doing their business because the door wasn't latched properly I can tell you it is just as embarrassing for the person who walks in...!!! Happened when I was about 16. Sooooo embarrassed!!!

The only unisex single person bathroom at my work has a faulty latch. You can never tell if it will lock when you lock it. I always knock and listen for a response but have been walked in on several times by other people. It is never fun!

Good point. I kind of got the impression that she was a bit embarrassed in this case too Grace and I hadn't thought about that tell you mentioned it.
