I've used trains extensively the past few months, for pleasure and this king of thing has happened to me at least three times......
I need the toilet on a train and it's vacant says the lit-up sign on the door.
I press the button to enter, the door opens, and there's either a woman sat there on the toilet or a bloke (with everything on view) standing up going to the toilet.
What's either happened is the passenger has neglected to lock the door, or (more likely) they thought they had locked it but were mistaken.
This causes embarrassment for both me and them.
Last week, an angry bloke shouted "Excuse me!!!" as I entered the door and he was there going to the toilet. Well, it's not my fault; I didn't know the toilet was occupied when I opened the door, the sign said vacant.
This happens too many times to me. Any similar experiences, and how would I best handle this problem, particularly irate passengers having a go at me when I know I'm not in the wrong?
