Clear, Polite, and Reassuring Response
No source links recorded for this answer.
Explanation: Saying “Occupied—will be out in a moment” quickly communicates three things: the stall is in use (resolves ambiguity), you are still engaged but near finishing (sets an accurate expectation), and you will voluntarily vacate soon (reduces impatience). It is brief, polite, and minimizes further knocking or intrusive attempts to open the door. This balances honesty with social courtesy and helps avoid awkwardness or conflict.
