Picture this.
You are sitting in a one stall washroom doin yer biz'ness and since it's a one stall washroom you locked the door.
You hear a person approach your washroom.
They attempt to turn the knob.
Click click click.
Yep, cause you locked it right ? Since you're using it right? Hence, someone (you) is using the washroom. Occupado!
But then after the click click click of the knob turn, you hear knock knock!
What is the purpose of this knock? Isn't the universal sign of "occupied" a locked bathroom door?
Is it to check if someone is actually in the washroom? Because sometimes washrooms just lock on their own with no one inside? Is it to check if I'm awake and haven't fallen asleep on the toilet?
Is it to coherce me to stop mid-biz'ness and finish up cause their biz'ness is more important than mine? Is it to rush my #1s and #2s ? Is it to tell me someone is waiting .... Still meaning to hurry my ass up? Or is it to let them in while I'm doing my biz'ness so that they can wash their hands since obviously I'm not using the sink yet? Do they want to hear me say "almost done" (pooping or peeing or both or washing my hands after pooping or peeing or both..obviously)
All this to say : I find this knock knock kinda annoying. It somehow begs a response. Forcing me to engage in conversation whilst doing something private.
I'm temped to say something equally annoying back....
knock knock
Me: "Who is it? ....Come in! ......... I'm just pooping"
I bet they would try to turn the knob again as an automatic response to "come in.."
