One of my pet peeves is people who rattle the toilet door before checking the engaged indicator.

That's intentional. By doing so you are interrupting the occupant's peaceful moment, make him anxious, and as a result he will get out faster.

I thought it was so that the occupant had warning in case the lock wasn't properly engaged.
