In need of advice...

Here is the situation. I walk into the bathroom to use it. I hear a toilet flush as I walk through the door. The bathroom is only occupied by one individual who is in the farthest stall. As I take care of business at the urinal the toilet flushes again. Finally as I'm washing my hands the toilet flushes a third time.

Should I ask if he needs help? Leave without saying anything? Or make some smartass remark prior to leaving? Call the facilities servicemen and inform them of a problem? Pull the fire alarm. I choose option 2, but from the way it sounds option 5 probably would have been the most humourous. Alas, I'm just not that cool.

Question the second:
If you were in the situation that the unknwon gentleman is in, and the fire alarm went off, what would you do?

Presumably, if I were that man in that same exact situation, then I would have no choice but to continue with the biggest poop of my life. A multiple flush poop cannot be interrupted, barring toilet malfunction.

the really scary thing is, that the toilet at work are the ones that sound like a freaking jet taking off. I can't imagine having such an epic ecounter with it such that I clogged the thing. Perhaps the gentleman was merely be caustious, or was passing the equivalent of a small horse.
