I hate peaking under the stalls or knocking doors to figure it out. The answer is so simple.

In 'merica, we love to grab the door and shake it or look through the 2 inch gap to check if it's occupied 🇺🇲

Don't forget to also knock loudly and yell "IS ANYBODY IN THERE???"

Bust the door down. if they stand their ground and shoot you - it's occupied

As a kangaroo wrestling Australian I respect the hustle.

Where I'm at, the majority of them have the lock with indicator but that lock is broken and above it is a shitty non indicating lock.
