Why, why, why, why, WHY? WHY must you use the bathroom stall with the door unlocked and ajar?
Why do you care? It isn't like you don't know what they're doing in there. Walk past and ignore. Maybe the problem is that you are uncomfortable with your insatiable desire to watch.
Um, no. Not talk on the phone. Perhaps I was not clear enough. USE the stall with the door unlocked and ajar... so that the door blocks the view of legs or shoes or anything that might indicate a person is in there, and you fumbling in thinking it's empty and hastily exit with apology (despite it not being your fault). This is in an office building with functioning doors and locks.
How did this turn into cell phone use?
Why would you shit and/or pee with a stall door open?
On a related topic, I have had to tell every one of my men friends to close the god damn bathroom door when they take a leak. Every one. And I am not a jock nor are most of my friends. None of them would think of doing this if they were in the apartment of a woman friend. It is so weird and so tiresome, too.
