I’d just yell, “Sorry, but can you wait just a minute please?” (See? I’d even try to be polite!)
I had a weird experience in a public bathroom last week. It was in a restaurant. Yes, I had locked the door, but when I sat down on the stool I looked up and there–in lifesize living color–was way more staring back at me than I ever wanted to see. Some idiot had put a full length mirror right opposite the toilet!!!! Next time I think I’ll try to hold it!

That’s my next invention. A full sized sign that folds up like an umbrella. You carry it with you to the bathroom and point it at the “intruder” and push the button. Out pops a life size sign “Come back later” or maybe your blogg or web site, or advertisement for your book.
I think shouting out something like, “Ah, a verifier. I need to ensure my pee color is right. Can you help?”
or
“Come on in, let’s make this a party pee”
Wanda, you just have to worry about co-workers…but my dog is a completely different matter! Joanie

I’ say, (Ya’ll come on in in. I was just thinking about you.”
Funny!!

Funny!! Love the imagery.
So far I’ve been lucky enough to be able to grab the door as it begins to open.
And, Ron’s verifier – bold and horrifying. 🙂
