I just walked in on a lady taking a poo

[Hotsauce]

I approached a single room, unisex bathroom. As in, a single, lockable door off a major hallway, that houses a toilet and sink. 

I turned the handle, which wasn’t locked, opened the door, and a lady was pooping. I immediately apologized and closed the door and got the hell out of there. 

So my question is, should I have knocked?  

My immediate thought is, your only supposed to knock if you approach a stall. But, if your in a lockable room, I shouldn’t be required to knock to enter. 

Thoughts?

 

 

also, I assume she was taking a dump, she very well could have been peeing.  Butt for the sake of this story poop>pee because poop is funny

I test the handle to see if it's locked.  If not, I'm heading in there, I don't knock.

I walk thorough every bathroom door aggressively grabbing my crotch yelling "I GOT TO PISS!!!"

so you assume it was a woman.  Why ?  You are being sexist and probably a homophobe to boot.

 

oops wrong forum - I thought I was in the tinderbox

Did you see anything good?

Why would you knock?

[Anybodyhome]

I gave this some thought- because I have enough idle time to do just that- and oddly came up with this.

Had this been in an office space where I work, I likely would have knocked without entering. Probably the whole embarrassing idea of having to see a co-worker everyday whom I caught pinching a loaf would be a little uncomfortable for me and downright embarrassing for her.

If it was in a public space like, say, the concourse at BOA where there are several of these "family-style" restrooms, if the door is unlocked, I'm going in.

When u gotta go u gotta go.  Do synchronized pooping.
