mog_warbeastWhy would anyone go to the toilet in a public building without even properly closing, much less locking, the door? Yet this is the second time I have started to push open the toilet door opposite my office and someone has been sat there with their pants round their ankles.
Is their fear of getting trapped in the toilet greater than their fear of someone seeing them having a shit? Do they secretly get off on it?

2. The door is too far from the toilet.

The lock is not broken or difficult to operate, though that isn't really relevant given the above information.

repetition of such an incident.
Possibility The Second: They're doing their part
to help citizens become accomodated to the
lifestyle changes that will be necessary before
they can fully participate in the War on Terror
and/or Drugs. (The former requires the closure
of restrooms at many facilities; the latter
requires the emplacement of surveillance systems
in the restroom, lest some druggy (horror of
horrors) put *someone else's urine* in the cup
and hence Pass without Passing.)
Possibility The Third: It's too small to *close*
the door once one's seated and pantsdowned.
That being the case, they're probably CIA agents
working on softening you up for takeover. To
verify, send a letter to the White House saying
"(suspect) says you didn't know what you were
doing in (conflict)". It'll take between a week
and a month for their identity to be leaked if
they are US agents, due to heavy workload.

Urgh. Hope you've already had lunch! :-/
