Survivors jumping in and out lockers fast, any purpose?

So several times I saw survivor making rushed entering into the locker and then immediately jump out, just to repeat it. All in front of me. Checked after the game - they wasn't using Head On.

Is it some kind of cheating?

Or it's just to confuse me?

Well, I'm confused.

    Then that's a simple time waster attempt. Usually it can waste an extra few seconds which can be the difference between a win and a loss..

    There are reasons to quickly go into lockers, but I'm not sure they apply to your scenario.

    • Distract the killer by causing noise.
    • Avoid the Doctor's Static Blast/Static Shock.
    • Avoid Victor's Pounce (when far enough away from Charlotte).
    • Avoid the Huntress' Hatchet.
    • Avoid the Deathslinger's Redeemer.
    • Avoid the Cannibal's Chainsaw.
    • Avoid the Hillbilly's Chainsaw.
    • Avoid the Shape's Tombstone mori (and grab).
    • Avoid the Nurse's Blink attack.
    • Avoid the Oni's Demon Dash.
    • Avoid the Executioner's Punishment of the Damned.
    • Avoid the Trickster's Main Event.
    • Avoid the Blight's Lethal Rush.
    • Avoid the Nemesis' Tentacle Whip.
    • Avoid the Cenobite's Summons of Pain.
    • Avoid the Artist's Birds of Torment.
    • Avoid a quick attack while the killer is carrying another survivor.
    • Force the killer to eat a Decisive Strike.
    • Create synergy with Quick & Quiet.
    • Waste slightly more time when injured and cornered by the killer.

    Is this while they're injured and its their last resort?

    Sometimes they got cornered or even simply spotted. But that action doesn't make any sense. It just ends with hit/grab.
