People will do this on toilet stalls as well, rattle the door when there is obviously someone in there.

The term for these incalcitrants is "turd burglar". Obviously they are trying to break in and steal your leftovers.

Oh, just 27.3% of the time. 7% of the time, we discuss wiping technique.

I never say anything - it should be obvious that someone is in there if the door is locked.

Plus, if I said something, then they would know it was me in the bathroom, and I have some people convinced that I never go, and I don't want to shatter any illusions.

This is easily a top 5 pet peeve for me. How about knocking? A freaking knock, that's all.

I was at a party once in college and lock was broken. The toilet seat also wouldn't stay up so I had to hold it up with my knee and stand off to the side. Hottest girl at the party has to go, doesn't knock, opens the door, and gets a full view of the action.

That's when you play it cool and ask her if she likes the goods. Then you pee on her feet.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Impossible. My job is like a laxitive. 7:30 every morning you'll find me destoying some porcelean. On the weekends, I go whenever but, for some reason, I'm like a clock at work. My other jobs were similar, depending on the time I went in. Always a half hour after arriving. Wierd.
