Work bathroom etiquette

I work in a place with about 50+ people any given day.  We have 3 bathrooms for everyone to share.  It can be quite a pain, especially because we all try to run to the bathroom quickly in between patients.  I guess people are in such a hurry that no one knocks on the door...like ever...they just attempt to open the door.  There have been multiple cases of people walking in on others.  Is this weird that no one knocks or this normal for a large office?

Re: Work bathroom etiquette

  • No I definitely think that's weird. Knock people!

  • Weird. People should always knock.

  • Yup, its weird. People do it at my work too. What makes it worse is that most people keep the door open when they leave. So if it's closed, then there is a good chance someone is in there.

    Yes this happens too...we typically leave the door open if we're done also. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds this strange!

  • Im in an old school so we have the regular "gang bathrooms" then on our floor we have what would have been the old teachers bathroom. Single bathroom, but still people never knock. They always try to just walk right in. I dont know if its because they think its a full sizes bathroom or what.
  • I love the old "I'm gonna knock, but as I'm turning the door knob and trying to push the door open" technique.  It's like they know they're supposed to knock, but don't know why.

    Some have definitely perfected this technique. And may I add that when I do knock 90% of the time people don't answer so then I turn the handle and it's locked...

    Is it really that hard to yell "I'll be right out!" when someone knocks? People are crazy.

  • Doesn't the door lock? 
  • @queensteph17 they do lock...I just always find it weird that people just try to open it all the time instead of knocking first. When people have been walked in on its because they must have forgotten to lock it
