* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode, ''Partners in Crime'', it turns out that {{spoiler|the bad guys are actually searching for a ''different'' person, also a spy, who happens to be in the cubicle next to Donna's}}.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|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.
