I'm slightly vexed Locking a bathroom behind you in a crowded cafe.

Drove an hour into a crowded mountain town to see family from the other side of the US. Get to crowded cafe, go to use bathroom. There are two but someone had shut the door on their way out with the door still locked.

Ended up pissing behind a trading post. Just mildly infuriating. Don’t lock bathrooms you’re not inside.

Edit: yes, I informed the staff but nature was done calling.

Did you tell staff the door was locked with nobody inside?

Plot twist, OP is dead and cannot operate doors because of some weird ghost clause in his haunting contract.

I was actually told I could urinate behind the Greek restaurant we stopped at for lunch last spring. I declined their kind invitation and we left. (The restroom had a leak and they needed to turn the water off until a plumber could come. That meant no one was washing hands, either.)

No but the 8 people in front of the other bathroom did

There was 2 bathrooms and 8 people outside the one? How many outside other. Was it mens and women?

You would think…

I've never encountered a restroom door that did that unless it was a place where you're supposed to ask for a key.

This was a first for me. It wasn’t that kind of place, some dummy just left the door locked behind them.

Sounds like the restaurant is more the dummy than that person since they clearly have the wrong type of locks on their restrooms. I wouldn't blame that person at all. That lock shouldn't be able to do that.

Not the most top tier players, I’ll say that

I mean you never saw inside of the door so it could be super easy to hit the lock again on your way out. Either way definitely not their fault.

Nah it was a press button, as I used it later when they got it open. Not one you’d just bump into and lock it. But let’s keep discussing it?

Press ones are super easy to absentmindedly push.

It used to happen at a store where I worked, every single weekend. We then had to leave the registers to poke something into the door to pop the lock.

It's pretty sad multiple places can't figure out how to get the right kind of locks.
