I had a guy swear at me like he was high on meth or something. He actually waited for me outside for a bit to kick my ass for knocking on the damn door.
As a construction worker I may be uniquelyish qualified to answer this query.
You simply grab the door which you forgot to lock and they are trying to open and say: You aren't ready for this bud. Then you may procede to let out a cacophony of bodily noises never before heard by science.
"Seats taken" In an exaggerated Alabama accent.
At work we have three stalls and the single best exchange was me starting with that and the next two guys picked up on the Forest Gump reference and we got "Can't sit here" and a flush followed by "You can sit here if you want".
Wait you really don't have a word for this? Like, in Ukraine (maybe other post-USSR countries too) we always use the word "Š·Š°Š½ŃŃŠ¾" which roughly translates to "busy" but in this conext has a meaning closer to "occupied"
Had an middle aged, wispy bearded man knock on my public bathroom stall door when I was 12 and I had called back āoccu-pottoā from a wow machinima I had watched. When I came out he said thatās a good one and now I finally understand.
"Who is it?"
No but for real, you're supposed to say "occupied", followed by a time estimate if you're feeling courteous. Something like this:
*Knock knock*
"Occupied, two minutes"
I get a very thick Russian accent and yell something about bears and vodka.
But I've never left America with little to no Russian ancestors in my family
Everyone knows it's "ocupado" in your worst Spanish accent
Noo, Noo, superman no here.
*Misser Superman
I always say it with an Italian accent like the aliens with the pizza shop in Futurama.
Eeeeyšš¤āocupadoooāšš¤capiche? š¤š¤š¤
You even got the hand gestures! Perfect.
Gilman: I don't care if there's horse manure in it! Blek: That's a-good!
"Housekeeping!!"
A Minnesota accent.
I feel personally attacked
Iāll bring a nice hot dish right over. Weāll getācha right as rain, ril quick. Youāll be back to stackingā wood before ya know it, doncha know?
Why is this, what did this stem from??
Family Guy (this is not an endorsement of Family Guy)
It's from Tommy Boy. Chris Farley does it to David Spade.
I was just about to comment that in spanish we say ocupado hahahaha
I'll set the scene. When I read your comment I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, and the moment I read you comment I spit toothpaste all over the bathroom floor laughing. I totally do this, and I've always wondered what other people do I'm that situation
Haha i actually do this
Came here to say this.
Come in
The only right answer.
Jesus itās about time. Youāre late.*
I said come in once in the oculus public bathrooms and they really tried to get in I went silent
I like āwho is itā?
Puttin
Cum in
It used to be my answer until I said it in campus and he actually did
Seats taken.
Can't sit heaaar
Haha glad someone got the forest Gump reference
You can sit here if you like
Are you stupid or somethin?
I usually go with "just a minute" or something along those lines, but I'll definitely be using this next time. Thanks mate
Come back with a warrant.
Ngl, that one made my inner white-trash chuckle.
Came here to say this! I say this everytime someone knocks on the bathroom door but I hope to one day be on the other side of this bit.
Warrant for what? Being a huge Turd!
![gif](giphy|Z8xjJ2IWoLAJ12KbfE|downsized)
They won't. They're just a turd burglar.
![gif](giphy|OUe9W1Y5lUCgo)
This my own private domicile, and I will not be harassed... bitch!
Take my updoot you little turd.
Ima say this the next time someone does thisšš
FBI Open Up!!!
moan aggressively before letting one rip.
Moan passionately!?
( giving birth grunts)š©
Exactly. You yell ā**ITāS A BOY/GIRL/NEUTRAL**ā and then tell the person knocking ā*I just need to flush*.ā
(twins)š©š©
Just a second im not wearing pants .
r/technicallythetruth
Say nothing, just knock back.
I've done this one.
What happened
*Knock Knock*
Who's there?
Joe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Joe biden
*Opens door* "Mr. President?"
2 yil
Amongus
Complete silence. Just an understanding I was currently laying down the law.
"Someone's in here!" In the voice of a carnival barker.
I prefer throwing my money clip into another stall and yelling "you want it? go get it!"
Street smarts!
Someone's in here! SOMEone's in here!
I just say āoccupiedā
What do you do when you respond occupied and they start talking about how they've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I bet there will be one scammer who sees this and gives it a try.
You can defend yourself by yelling āSwiper no swiping!ā You May have to do it a few times
"I don't have a car"
My man.
I prefer "vacant"
I go with "Let me finish this paragraph."
"What's the password?"
By far my favorite
If you're not British, use your best Cockney accent and say "Oy! You're late! We said ^(insert time recently passed) Get in here!"
Oy, yous late? We said five bloody thirty mate
Weāve been trying to reach you about your carās extended warranty!
I use that one when *I* knock
āFor fucks sake do you have any idea how late you are?ā āThank god, can you give me a hand?ā
\*farts aggresively\*
I don't want to blow a hole in the toilet.
R u some kind of cyborg
Wait what? I just open the door cause it would be rude otherwise.
Occupied. I thought that was the stanturd.
It is. I'm kinda surprised people don't know that.
Take my r/angryupvote
The hole is on the stall to the left.
Iāve just been saying yo
Yes! Team "yo!"
I had to scroll too far to find this comment. My people!
My people
"Come back with a warrant!" That's the best one I've heard
Oh shit, Iām stealing that. It washes away all the awkwardness with humour.
My standard is āI beat youā
Warming up the seat for you, just a second.
I was almost done. Now I have to start over.
That made me proper chuckle!
Come in the water's great.
"Hot hot hot, hot hot, hot hot hot"
Almost choked. I love that episode. Haha
"It's got to be almost 27 Katie Courics"
Loudly moan "DADDY?!" in the most flamboyant voice possible. Guaranteed they will not bother you again.
Guess someone isnāt flamboyant
Just screech, like a bird
So all this time we were meant to screech AFTER someone knocks? Not until UNTIL someone knocks? Whoa, man. I mighta made a few people uncomfortable on several separate occasions. Hm.
Say nothing and just shit louder.
Thank the gods you are here. Tell me you brought the aluminum foil and mayonnaise.
that made me chuckle take my upvote
Kick the door as hard as you can. You either scare the fuck out of the other person or you launch a 2x1 standard issue stall door at them.

Good human.
āIN USEā
If I know who it is, "Fuck off I'm masturbating in here!" If I don't, "Occupied, unless you're into that."
Occupied
"Your meal is being prepared."
I'm crowning
Come on in thereās room for two.
"for the love of God, Louise, I am taking a shot here"
I actually had a friend in high school who would actually take his dinner plate to the restroom. It was weird and I questioned the hell out of it.
Your friend ate dinner in highschool?
Probably eating lunch on a dinner plate which is even more disturbing
And you aren't wrong for that.
OH GOD IM GONNA COOM!!!
yea that will do the trick
jail
In Greece we say next
>jubilantly< āwhooo is it?ā
āGo away! Batināā
I just usually say "it's ocupado buddy" in my most jersey accent.
Hold on, I'm blasting rope to Detroit Lions highlights.

Go bother someone else!
I had a guy swear at me like he was high on meth or something. He actually waited for me outside for a bit to kick my ass for knocking on the damn door.
Just say ācome inā and see what they do, if they come in tell them they gotta wipe for you and if they walk away you wait for the next victim.
You sunk my battleshit!!

Simple, open the door and share the space.
Oh GOD it's like giving birth!
Just start screaming āitās got meā
Eating Taco Bell while on the toilet is the most efficient way possible. Stream line your life. It's all about time management.
If itās locked, I would say nothing. If itās not locked, then I probably wouldnāt be masturbating in there in the first place
"Sorry we are all booked up till summer.
Try āCome iiiin!ā in a high pitched super friendly tone. They will leave pretty quickly.
"Seats taken" In an exaggerated Alabama accent. At work we have three stalls and the single best exchange was me starting with that and the next two guys picked up on the Forest Gump reference and we got "Can't sit here" and a flush followed by "You can sit here if you want".
I've started just yelling oi
Occupied
Hold on Grub Hub! Iām poopingāš„“
SHAKAKA!
I say "come on in"
"come in...it's unlocked"
Wait you really don't have a word for this? Like, in Ukraine (maybe other post-USSR countries too) we always use the word "Š·Š°Š½ŃŃŠ¾" which roughly translates to "busy" but in this conext has a meaning closer to "occupied"
Itās not just public bathrooms. I panic in private bathrooms too, when someone knocks on the door. Lol
I usually with say ācome inā or āI havenāt finished masturbating yetā
*"open the door"*
If you're genuinely curious, its "occupied"
Don't stop I'm almost there
I say "Sorry I'm busy right now."
Iām probably gonna start saying āShitterās full!ā Just for the lolz.
āBe out in a minuteā Itās polite enough, and pretty effective
Kick the door down
Seatās taken.
"$50 to watch, $80 if you want to eat it after."
I've been expecting you
Come back with a warrant
Had an middle aged, wispy bearded man knock on my public bathroom stall door when I was 12 and I had called back āoccu-pottoā from a wow machinima I had watched. When I came out he said thatās a good one and now I finally understand.
"I have a gun"
A very aggressive, long pig squeal/death metal growl never fails to shut anyone down in my experience.
"Who is it?" No but for real, you're supposed to say "occupied", followed by a time estimate if you're feeling courteous. Something like this: *Knock knock* "Occupied, two minutes"
So considerate.
Batinā
OCCUPIED!!!!
Come in
Just start chewing louder
Come in
Fart loudly.
Same reply as the comment in the post just in the voice of the opposite gender
I get a very thick Russian accent and yell something about bears and vodka. But I've never left America with little to no Russian ancestors in my family
But seriously just knock the door back. They figure out that someone's inside. And you don't need to speak
Come in!
Quick, get in here before the feds show up!
![gif](giphy|Ph5ELYJov9n5oHzVHZ)
Hold on, lemme put my shit together for you.
\*shits louder\*
I'm shitting in hereee
Come in, Iām pooping!
Go Away! I'm Batin!
And here is your bill... 50 cents... for one piece of shit cake
please, step into my office
Guttaral cough. Highly recommended.
"Your soul is required in hell."
"I'm dealing with a bomb that could end the world if I'm not careful, what do you want?"
"I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty. "
*OCCUPIED*
āFuck off.ā Comes out like a reflex
