Not locking the door of public/cafe toilets
Discussion
If there is a public toilet, say in a cafe, with a locking door but the user of the toilet does not lock the door and you open it and get a view, which you really didn't want, of them using the toilet, is the correct course of action to:
(a) Excuse yourself politely, return to the vestibule and wait for them to finish
or
(b) Grab a chair from the cafe and prop the toilet door open, so they fking learn to lock it the next time?

Had this on a train recently. I pulled open the toilet door to be greeted with banshee screams from a middle aged woman sat on the throne. I backed away without chastising her poor door locking etiquette but on going back into the coach I recieved a few indignant looks How very dare I?
Well on trains it is often poor door design. Esp the disabled toilets with motor operated doors. You press a button to CLOSE the door but many hapless people do not realise there is a separate button to LOCK the door. Who the fk designs two buttons for that? This leaving the door unlocked I have a lot of sympathy for.

I don't understand people's confusion with them really. They're big, lit up buttons clearly showing what you have to do to open/close/lock the door. Only a moron couldn't work that out.
Maybe these people like being walked in on whilst dropping the kids off....who knows!
I've seen this happen several times by sensible looking people. Maybe these people like being walked in on whilst dropping the kids off....who knows!
I think it is more likely, being sensible looking people, that it didn't occur to them that anybody could make closing a toilet door so complicated.
