Line 29 ⟶ 31:
* ''[[High School Musical]]'' used this to show us how Gabriella was able to turn invisible. Seriously: Sharpay hears her singing in the loo, sees nobody, checks out the stalls, ''kicks'' the lone closed-yet-vacant stall open, then spies herself in the mirror and leaves. Gabriella then reveals that she was behind the entrance wall (beside the basins). In a ''[[Fridge Logic|place Sharpay looked]]''. True, we don't actually see Gabriella's hiding place (so she could very well have been under the basins), but the way it's played makes us wonder why she doesn't slip out while Sharpay's back was turned.
* In ''[[Air Force One]]'', while he's being pursued by the terrorists through the plane's passenger levels, the President hides in the bathroom section. The terrorists then shoot up each stall, and check each door, only to find they're empty. Turns out the President [[Air Vent Passageway|used a different method to evade them]].
* In ''[[The Wall|Pink Floyd
* In ''[[Problem Child|Problem Child 2]]'', Trixie hides in the bathroom and stands on the toilet seats so her feet don't show. Junior looks underneath each stall, and doesn't see her feet, but he isn't fooled.

* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'': This situation occurs during a hostage crisis in season 2, at least, until Lee Adama jumps the guy supposedly hunting him from behind.
* ''[[The Secret World of Alex Mack]]'': Alex Mack once avoided detection this way, when her stall was opened for examination, she had liquefied and hid in the toilet bowl.
* ''[[Law and Order UK]]'': While pursuing a suspect through Waterloo Station, DS Matt Devlin realizes he must had fled into the bathroom to hide. When he goes into the bathroom to look for him, he doesn't even need to search the stalls—only one has the door closed.

▲* In [[Gunsmith Cats]], May drags an injuried Rally into a bathroom to hide from [[This Means War|Radinov]]. Played straight despite Radinov not checking the stalls because of the obvious bloodtrail. She is, however, dealing with [[Trap Master|Minnie May]] now.

* There's a Japanese [[Urban Legend]] about Hanako Of The Toilet, a schoolgirl murdered in a bathroom stall who kills anyone who happens to be using that particular toilet. According to the story, if one is unfortunate enough to be using that stall, they'll hear Hanako herself checking each stall, giggling to herself "No one in here," until she finds the victim. Then she kills them.▼

Line 57 ⟶ 50:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]''. To paraphrase, "I've never seen anyone so desperate to avoid ten minutes of calisthenics".
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]''. Brock is looking for Phantom Limb inside a bathroom. He begins searching each stall, encountering a different villain in each one, before finding his target.
