When I was very young, I was absolutely terrified of being locked in a public toilet. I thought I would be in there forever. I decided that if it ever happened to me, I would just crawl out under the door. The trouble is that many toilet doors go all the way to the bottom, so if I was ever in one of those, I wouldn't lock the door at all but just try and hold it shut with my foot, while I.....went as fast as I could. I'm 22 now and grew out of it years ago but I must admit if I'm in a toilet and can see plenty of space under the door, it still makes me feel relieved.
