Come and knock on our door

Last night while I was standing at the urinal at work, the cleaning lady knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me!"
 
This happened around 8 pm, in a large bathroom in my building.  I had never heard anybody knock on the front door of a public bathroom.  I guessed that she wanted to clean it, but are there men who would feel uncomfortable with a cleaning lady in there?  Was I supposed to do something?  I do not like to move or talk while urinating. 
 
My mind raced for the appropriate thing to say in that situation.  I finally settled on "Come in!"
