Today, I waited for the single bathroom for a very long time. I finally knocked on the door and found no one was in there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a gas station and I went to the bathroom. Thinking some was already in the bathroom, I waited for ten minutes while people lined up behind me only to find out that it was empty. FML
Today, I knocked on the door of the bathroom to make sure nobody was in there before I walked in. Then I remembered I live alone. FML
Today, I had no choice but to use a public bathroom. I have issues going when there are others in the stalls, and apparently another person did as well. We both sat there in silence, waiting stubbornly for the other to give up and leave so we could go. It’s been 20 minutes. FML
Today, I had to use a public bathroom. I have problems going when other people are there, so I waited until everyone left. Two girls noticed I was taking a long time, and started giggling and throwing notes under the door asking if I was alive. This continued for half an hour. FML
Today, I clogged the only toilet at work. Thinking I could escape and blame someone else, I opened the door, only to see a line of people waiting outside. FML
Today, the stall I was using didn't have any toilet paper in it. Being the immature idiot I am, I was too embarrassed to ask for someone to grab me some. So I waited 45 minutes for the bathroom to be empty and crept into the next stall, only to find it was also out of toilet paper. FML
Today, I finally found a place to stay after being kicked out by my parents. The psycho owner waited till now to tell me that my bathroom door will remain locked at all times, and that whenever I want to go in there, I have to ask him to unlock it, then do my business while he waits outside. FML
Today, I went into the bathroom and got angry upon finding that once again, no one had bothered to put on a new roll of toilet paper. And then I remembered that I live alone. FML
Today, I took my brother to the bathroom at a restaurant. The stall next to mine was locked, so I assumed he was still in there. I yelled his name a few times, then banged on the door out of annoyance. I gave up and returned to the table, where he was sitting with a grin. Turns out I just traumatized a poor lady in the stall. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Probably should have tried knocking once you reached the bathroom.

I've done this many times. Admittedly, I've peeked under to see if I can see shoes :')

What told you that there was someone in there?

What made you think anyone was in there?

I'd put £5 on a wild guess that the toilet door was shut.

Casper was taking a dump. Must have been done when you knocked.

It should be a rule: When occupied, door is closed. When unoccupied, door is open. With no confusion, people would know better than to barge into a closed bathroom, and no one has to be forced into a conversation in the middle of doing their business. So I feel ya, OP.

Unless the door closes on its own. The single bathroom for people with physical handicaps is like that.

Reminds me of that FML where the person waited but there was only a pair of shoes in there.

Unless you see someone enter right before you, or you hear the telltale sounds of a bathroom in use (flush, sink, bodily functions ... etc.), there is no harm in knocking: 1) If you hear nothing, go right in. 2) If you hear "Someone's here" or some variant, just wait your turn. 3) If you hear "Please come in!", back away slowly and go choose another bathroom ... preferably on another floor or better yet in another building!
