Someone knocks on your bathroom stall, what’s the best response

Explanation: “Occupied—need a minute!” communicates three things at once: that the stall is in use (occupied), that you are not immediately able to open the door (need a minute), and that you request a brief pause. It’s concise, polite, and actionable: the knocker knows to wait and roughly how long. The wording avoids ambiguity or alarm, protects privacy, and reduces the chance of someone trying the latch while you’re not ready. For extra clarity if you like, add a soft “thanks” or a follow-up time estimate (e.g., “Occupied—need a minute, thanks”).
