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

Today, I decided to use the disabled toilet in work to get a little extra privacy while I did my business. The cleaners who unlocked the door from the outside and barged in on me were nice and waited until I finished to apologize and explain there were complaints the door had been locked for days. FML
Today, I thought it'd be fun to kick open one of those unisex bathrooms in my workplace. I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or my boss who was in there taking a dump. FML
Today, I walked into the ladies' bathroom to find my male boss taking a dump with the stall door wide open. FML
Today, I had to use the restroom while at work. I had the choice of the stall with a broken lock, or the stall with a huge crack in the partition wall. Not two minutes after I sat down, I noticed someone peeking in. 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 I was working a customer notified me that the men's restroom need some attention. Thinking that there was just a small mess, I walked into the restroom only to discover someone had taken a crap in the sink. Guess who got to clean it. FML
Today, I went in the one-person bathroom at work to pee. Next thing I know, a woman forced the locked door open and walked in on me, because she didn't believe another person who said, "I think someone is in there." I'm reluctant to use that bathroom in the future. FML
Today, I went to take a piss in a public bathroom. Somehow, I managed to completely jam the lock. After minutes of trying to get myself out, I gave up and crawled under the stall, at which point someone walked in and was very surprised to see me on the floor. FML
Today, my supervisor locked me in the women's bathroom as I was cleaning it. I heard the owner scolding him, so I waited for the door to open, thinking he got in trouble. It wasn't until I heard the front gate locking that I realized I'm staying the night in the bathroom. FML
Today, I walked into a restroom at a restaurant, took one step inside, and realized it was the staff-only restroom. The manager was inside, staring at me like I was an alien. I just smiled and awkwardly walked out. FML

Isn't this why stores often have washrooms for the customers.

You don't normally? Yet you were going to let someone in yourself, obviously it's not that uncommon.

No, actually there are times when it's just kind to differ from the norm, like if the customer is pregnant, elderly, or a child, or otherwise has some reason its hard for them to control their pee needs. I used to work at Walgreens and if people ask, it means they really need to go, so I would usually let them in.

This is from Canada so I can just Imagine that conversation. "I'm so sorry sir I should have knocked. " No sir I'm sorry I shouldn't be in here employees only" "Again Sorry"

I feel more bad for the guy on the toilet

Well since you went to unlock it for a customer wouldn't it be reasonable to assume another staff member could also do so? Besides shouldn't you knock first in case another staff member is in there even if you wouldn't think somebody else would let a customer in? Unless you're working alone, but I don't actually know anywhere that allows that at all. I feel bad for the guy on the toilet though.

I work alone most Sundays at the Baskin Robbins I work at so it can't be all too uncommon, I mean it is a small store. Though on really hot summer days working alone is not the business...

Bathroom for customers only I would take it...but still I find that a bit strange along with how did he get there?

I don't get it. You went to unlock it for a customer but you dont allow customers in there. Maybe some other employee unlocked it for some other customer earlier. In that case you should have tried knocking. Please somebody explain this to me.

35 - they don't *usually* allow customers to use the restroom. This implies there are some exceptions made occasionally. As it is uncommon that customers are allowed to use the restroom, it is logical that it would be assumed that the restroom would be free unless a staff member was in there. I'm assuming OP knew where the other staff were, as in small stores (which this sounds like) you usually know where each other is, so OP could assume the restroom was empty (as usually customers aren't allowed in there). As you can see, a lot of assumptions (all valid) that led to this situation occurring

Maybe another employee unlocked it for him.
