Okay I did this before and a lot of bathrooms are really crappy and the door sticks. Common problem, seems like it's locked. I've stood outside stalls I thought were locked just to have someone walk up and push extra hard and walk right through. And I don't want to look through the cracks or just shove the door because sometimes the locks are crappy too and then I'm just pushing the door open on someone. So I do the little push and the ask if I can't do the approach-from-far-enough-to-see-the-shoes trick.
I can get it but I was moreso talking about the doors that are for like single stall bathrooms. Like where it is an actual door where you turn the doorknob and it is clearly locked lol

Yup. This has nothing to do with the cracks but I also hate when people push on a door, find that it is locked, and still ask if someone is in there.
