Today, I was in a restroom, reading this site, when another gentleman walked in. He washed his hands, dried them, nodded at me, then left. It wouldn't ordinarily be so weird, except I was in a one-person restroom. FML

Today, I was at a crowded restaurant and rushed to the bathroom. In my haste, I didn't notice I had walked into the men's room until I was washing my hands and a guy walked in, gave me a puzzled look, and said, "You're brave." FML

Today, a girl entered the public washroom I was washing my hands in. When she saw me, she stopped dead in her tracks. I then saw her go to the door to make sure she was actually in the girl's washroom. FML

Today, I was using a public toilet stall when the lock gave way, and the door swung open halfway. I froze, and the person who was washing his hands at the sinks looked at me in the mirror and awkwardly said, “I see you.” I muttered, “I’m sorry,” as he walked out looking like he'd seen a ghost. FML

Today, while in the restroom washing my hands, a girl decided to let one rip while in the stall. When she came out she gave me a dirty look of disgust and said, "At least wait until I leave." She and I were the only ones in the restroom. FML

Today, while using a public toilet, a guy started pissing beside me at the urinal. The breach of bathroom etiquette then escalated to him taking a long look down at me and saying, "Nice sack, dude." followed by him finishing up and leaving without even washing his hands. FML

Today, at the urinal a guy came up next to me to do his business. He stared over at me, looked down, laughed and then left. FML

Today, I went for a quick piss at a restaurant. As I walked out the door, a little kid in the bathroom yelled, "HEY MISTER, YOU FORGOT TO WASH YOUR HANDS!" Everyone in the dining room stared, including my date. FML

Today, while at a fast food restaurant, I wanted to wash my hands. The restrooms were locked, so a cashier got the key and opened the men's restroom. This would have been fine if I wasn't a girl. FML

Today, while at work, I went to unlock the washroom for a customer. Normally we don't allow customers to use the staff washrooms, so I was as surprised as the guy I found sitting on the toilet when I opened the door. FML

It would be the polite thing to do. I mean he violated you with his eyes. The least he could do was show a little respect.

How did he come in?

Through the faucet, like in the movie 'Phantoms"

I hope he at least knocked first. I mean the whole barging in thing is rude, but at least start off well.

Exactly what I was thinking. I hate when people take their time in one person restrooms. Other people have to pee too =P

22 obviously the door was unlocked so he probably figured the bathroom was open

The door was locked. Because the other guy didn't say a word, we can assume he was a ninja. Locked doors means nothing to a ninja.

#51 you miss the point. Take it and go, don't sit and mess around online. It's a 1 person stall, maybe in a busy place...besides OP didn't reference he was doing anything when the guy walked in, so more evidence to him just sitting there plugging away on his phone

27 I didn't think of it like that, I usually knock first for good measure because I've forgotten to lock the door when using public bathrooms a couple times. But yeah, that makes sense.

no 51 didnt miss the point. ..if op was taken a shit then getting on fml to pass the time is fine. op wasnt just "chillen" in the bathroom in that case. op sorry for your embarrassing incident.

If it was a one person stall you might as well "chill" in there until someone knocks on the door or jiggles the door knob.. That obviously didn't happen lol

My friend and I went to a Wendy's one time and the bathroom for one didn't have a lock. so we traded off blocking out the door for each other. point is, not all have a lock
