You're in for a Surprise!

At the Target that I currently am employed at there is a team member (read: employee) only bathroom in the front of the store. Now this bathroom is for boys and girls and of course it locks from the inside and usually smells like poop, which is good because if other parts of the store smelled like poop we'd have issues.

Anyway, on several occasions while I was making a deposit someone came up the door, I'm sure with the intention of using it, and turned the handle followed by a knock. I of course did not respond and they were on their way.

First of all, why knock at all? You already turned the handle, you'd be half way into the bathroom by the time the knock was over. Also, what am I suppose to do? "Hello!" "Come in!" "Sorry! Making Fudge!"

Secondly, I never knock. I turn the handle, if the door doesn't open I know either someone is in there dropping off the kids, or the door is broken and I can't go in anyway. I have decided though that one day, if I go to open the door and it does open and there is someone using the bathroom I'm going to yell "SURPRISE!" and close the door real fast. I don't have to worry, because if they shit themselves they're already in the bathroom.
