How do you answer when someone knocks on the bathroom door?

"Yes?" in kind of a long drawn out questioning sort of way. BTW, I hate it when people do that. What I hate more is when someone waits outside the door, unless it's a crowded party or something. If I encounter a closed bathroom door, in most circumstances, I will try the doorknob gently and quietly, if it is locked, I walk away until the person comes out.

"Whaddya want?"...in a real grouchy tone of voice as I HATE to be bugged when I'm using the bathroom!

"Occupied"

"Yeah" or "Yes" and "I'll be out in a minute."

I usually say "hello?" if I'm in a public restroom, and at home I leave the door open.

it depends on whether I'm at home or in a public bathroom... probably "I'll be out in a minute" or something similar.

What?? angrily

Recently, I developed a habit of saying that it's occupied. Other times I'll say that I'll be out in a little bit.

I usually say "Just a minute" or the like. Sometimes I say "Someone's in here."

At home I say "What?", in public I'll say "Someone's in here".

Other: I say "Hello!"

Sometimes when I'm in a situation like this (e.g. a public restroom), I will cough to let my presence be know before it gets to the point of someone knocking.

At my college annexe, I would generally say nothing and hope the lock holds! In public toilets or the ones at the Zoology department I would generally say "Sorry!". At home, I would usually say "I'm in here" or "It's me! I'll be out soon" or "Sorry, I'm going to be ages!"

We only got a lock on the door to out toilet at home when I was about 16. In my house, we all learned to never try the door without knocking! Generally speaking, if the door was wide open it was empty, and if it was shut it was occupied, but guests weren't to know that so the system got confused sometimes. I insisted we got a lock after a whole stream of my younger brother's friends half-walked in on me, one after the other, while I was on the toilet

the worst situation I ever had with this was when I was in a restaurant bathroom and a little kid started banging on the door and wouldn't stop.

I always respond, "Just a minute, please."

Yeah

WHAT!



WHAT!



WHAT!



WHAT!



YEAH!

...and what did it cost for the lock, like 70p.?

I usually say, "Yes?" That wasn't an option... kind of weird.

Pretty much - but it also required my father to get into "DIY" mode - always a scary prospect....

"What happened to the door-frame? It looks like wolverines have been nibbling on it."

In an English-speaking country, I would say "I'm in here" or "there's someone in here," but now I live in Korea and have no idea what to say in this case, so I usually just move around or something to make some noise so it's obvious the stall is occupied.

Something like that...

With a simple, "What?" Everyone knows when someone is in the bathroom in our house, and usually when someone knocks, they want to know where something is or to ask me some other question.

I almost always say "occupied" if I have company over. If it's my girlfriend I usually tell her to come in unless I'm taking a crap in which case she wouldn't anyway.

Occupied.

someones in here lol

"I'll be out in a minute" or "there's someone in here."

Answer..... Be right out

why isn't 'come in' a choice?? hmm?? just noticing...

WHAT? I'M IN HERE, CAN'T YOU TELL, THE DAMN DOOR IS LOCKED!!!!
*REALLY ANGRY*

I don't answer ! If you can't figure out someone is in there when the door is locked, then you don't deserve a freakin response!

Orange! Orange who? Orange you glad I locked the door?

-the hell do you want?" Get lost., go in a bucket.Get the he** out of here!

Just a minute.

You wanna help me wipe?

If it's my 2 1/2 year old, I tell him to "Go away! Momma's going potty!" (which is just about EVERY TIME I'm in the bathroom) Otherwise, I'll say "just a second" or something of the sort.
