Today, as I was using the public restroom in the mall, someone decided to slam the stall door next to mine. This resulted in my stall door opening while I was still on the toilet. The door was too far for me to reach. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the bathroom in a mall. As I was in the stall, a woman tried to open it. I yelled out that's it was occupied but she kept shaking it to open it. It came up to the point where she had to crawl under the door to see that I was there. FML
Today, I was in a public toilet, enduring an extremely awkward silence between myself and the person in the next stall. In my rush to get out of there, I managed to get my ass stuck in the toilet seat, and ended up being pulled out by the maintenance men. FML
Today, I was using the restroom when a little girl tried to open my stall. It was locked, so she slid under the door and tried to have a conversation with me while I was pooping. 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, I was using the bathroom at Costco when a janitor forced my door open so she could mop, then didn't bother to close it again. Apparently, the handicapped stall was too big for her to see me sitting in the corner, and I had to awkwardly squat-walk all the way to the door to close it. FML
Today, I walked into a public toilet and I opened a stall door, only to discover someone who had forgotten to lock the door sitting on the can. Instead of saying "Sorry," I panicked and said, "Nice shoes!" I then had to wait until they left because I was too embarrassed to face them. 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, I was using a public restroom when the automatic toilet flushed prematurely. The sudden gush of water startled me so much that I jumped up and slipped, hitting my head on the stall door. A concerned stranger had to help me up. 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
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

Wave and start a conversation. Gotta make the moment sufficiently awkward.

50, most locks that I've seen in public bathrooms are barely secured in the little metal notch. A slammed door, especially when all the stalls are connected, could certainly cause that little metal bar to jump out of place.

I don't truly laugh out loud a lot, but envisioning that was cause for a good chortle.

Was there no lock?

Sometimes they break. Overuse, crazy sex sessions, etc.

Always lock the door

Most likely, the slamming of the adjacent door caused OPs door to jump off the lock. Most stall locks are pretty flimsy unless you're in a city where the public restrooms have pay locks.

26- wait... There are cities where you have to pay to lock the stall door? Or do you mean those pay to use the restroom places? - I have never heard of the first option!
skittle_QUEEN_YO 15
I never heard of either! Danm also where i live the locks cant do that since they slide in

@36,40 Cities where you have to pay to enter the rest room stall, so the doors unlock by inserting a coin. They have good locks cause they also want to keep homeless people from using the stall as a living space.

41 - thanks for the explanation :) I thought you mean there were places you could use the restroom for free but had to pay for the privacy!!!

#26 There are also cities such as San Francisco that have a better model with free restrooms that lock. The only catch is that there's a time limit (of 30 minutes or one hour I think), probably to keep homeless people from camping out in them (though I really don't know what happens after the time expires!).

56, maybe the door just swings open? That would be really awkward though!
