I'm visually impaired (no peripheral vision), so I often miss the symbol on the door, or struggle to find the right door, or take the second right instead of the first right because I miss the first door.
A few times I've approached the door and turned back when I've heard women talking inside. Once or twice I've pushed the door open and THEN heard women's voices. In those cases, I've done exactly what you did: "Oops. Sorry, wrong door!" and backed away quickly.
Once I went into the unisex toilets and had to do a double take to make sure that this WAS, in fact, a unisex bathroom and that I hadn't missed the men's.
Another time I accidentally *used* the women's bathroom. It was the only door I saw, and I couldn't find the sign (I subsequently found it; it was clearly the symbol for "women"). Anyway, it was one of these really spacious ones, with completely enclosed cubicles, and it was completely empty when I entered. I walked around a bit looking for the urinals. I couldn't find them, but that doesn't mean they weren't there because maybe they were hidden away in a corner somewhere. I was pretty sure this WAS the men's bathroom, though, so I went into a cubicle. I was going to just stand, but as soon as I lifted the toilet seat, I heard the main door open and two women walk in, chatting away.
I immediately put the seat back down and sat, not wanting to make too much noise. I finished up and sat there waiting until they each went into a cubicle and shut the doors. At which time I got up, rushed to the sink, washed my hands not nearly long enough, didn't bother to try, and beelined out (taking care that nobody noticed me exiting the ladies' bathroom)!
In hindsight, I suppose the bin on the floor next to the toilet should've been a clue, since they only put those in women's or unisex bathrooms. But a) no peripheral vision, and b) pre-occupied by my need to pee, I didn't notice. :-)
