I'm in the Orlando airport (MCO I think) on my way to RI for my grandfather's funeral on layover (because that makes sense, but whatever).
I'm using the restroom and had the stall door locked behind me. Some idiot comes and shakes the door a few times, then decides to bypass the lock (it was one of those twist locks) with a coin or key or something, and doesn't stop until I start making noise. Then the guy backs off like he's just startled a predator or something.
Like, what in the fuck were you thinking dude? And that's not even getting into how rude it was to try to force your way in like that.

This is the opposite of a related thread on here about people being expected to knock on bathroom stall doors.
I cannot imagine anyone trying to jimmy open a closed toilet door. Are you like a midget with your feet off the floor and he couldn't see you from under or through the door crack???
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

In my experience, Orlando can be an interesting airport because of Disney. You get a lot of families and a lot of people that don't have much experience flying.

Nope. 6'4", 230lbs. There was a rolling bag on the floor by me, clearly visible from the other side under the door.

One thing's for sure, it was gonna get really awkward for one of us and I don't think it was gonna be me.

I’ve had the same thing on the aircraft. Idiot doesn’t want to accept that it’s locked. I’m similar build and it’s hard enough trying to deuce at 30,000 some odd feet. Some ass hole trying to wiggle and push the door in when there is clearly an “occupied” sign on the got damn door. Man do I hate traveling.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

These are the same people that will walk up to a locked shop/store door that has a CLOSED sign on it and bang on it, pull on it and stick their face in the glass and shout “ARE YOU CLOSED?”
I used to work in a bakery/cafe and would see it every night when I was closing up and mopping the floors.
Some people are just clueless and not aware of ANYTHING around them.

And some entitled pricks think you will actually turn the lights back on and re-open just for them.

I get people banging on the door at 5:55am (we open at 6 and have forklifts in operation right up to opening) expecting me to open just for them.

Ever notice that the waiting door is locked in Doctor's offices. Most have a security coded lock. People cannot read or just do not care.

Nah, the way he was dancing about he had to drop a load. I think it was just a self centered kid.
