Last time it happened to me was in a restaurant in Netherlands, I pushed open the door to see a man taking a piss, but for some reason he had his trousers and underwear at his ankles !!!!!

My reaction was to exclaim "fkS SAKE" he didn't even repond.

I used another stall.
I was working in Woking a couple of years ago and there's a shopping centre there. I went to the toilets (quite big ones) and there was a bloke standing at the urinals having a wee and yes, trousers and underpants round his ankles, arse on display.

(In his defence I saw him around the place other times later, and he appeared to be a special needs type. Nevertheless it was a serious WTF when I first saw it).
At the public pool I took my 4yo boy to the loo and as we walked past a cubicle a man was doing that exact same thing. My son looked at me as if to say "Huh? You tell me not to do that!"

hehe

Firstly; doing that is just plain odd, you have flies in your trousers for a reason, secondly; why would you want your trousers to be touching the floor directly below a urinal, yuck!!

I find that sometimes, people keep trying the door when it doesn't open, as if they are puzzled as to why it's not opening!
Particularly where there is only one cubicle (in some restaurants etc). Does it not occur to them that someone is using the toilet?!
I KNOW!!! For years this stays on my mind, the utter stupidity of the human race astounds me at times. Sometimes the person gets pissed to and will say sharply, "anyone in there!? Let's go!" Meanwhile I just got in seconds before.

To the OP, I had the exact scenario happen to me when I was a child, probably 10 - 11 years old and was on a school outing to a local arcade and gaming center. I'll never forget it because I remember asking where the bathroom was and the worker pointed a single unisex (handicap accessible as well) lounge out to me only because it was right there. I turned the knob and the door swung open to reveal a huge hairy man with both pants down around his ankles standing up and peeing, and if the position of his pants weren't odd enough he had his shirt entirely off, a FULL back of hair, exposing an image that to this day is etched in my poor mind; a big hairy rear naked man. I remember the door opening all the way and coming to a stop fully opened, making a slamming noise as the handle made contact with the wall and I froze for a second, and took off running leaving the door wide open and the naked man exposed to an entire room of innocent gamers lol the short few seconds this took place he never turned around. As if he didn't know the door had swung open. Sometimes when this memory randomly pops up that last fact us the only thing that makes me think twice if this really happened or if it was some figment of my imagination.... Although I'm 99.9% certain it did happen.

Happens with our work customer/staff toilets; there is 1 unisex toilet with a clear indicator on the handle in either green or red to let someone on the outside know if the toilert is occupied or not, doesn't stop people people almost ripping the handle off to get in though, they'll give it a few goes too; morons!!

YES! They don't try once gently and then knock or wait, they pull on it with force several times. I swear it happens so many times and I am always left bewildered as to their utter stupidity. Im not joking either; It remains in my head for a long while after, just stirring around playing it over and over again trying to comprehend how dumb people can be!!!
