Sure you know you have used it, but what if a handicapped person comes in to use it and your in there? Can you walk out and look them in the eye if they wait, or do you hide and wait them out? We got 1 person in a wheelchair here and I wont use the handicapped one because I dont want to be stuck with that choice |
|
If everything is full, can't a handicapped person wait as easily as anyone else? I've never understood this particular issue. To me it is stupid to leave any stall open in case someone might show up and need it, if all the others are being used. A good friend of mine is a quad. I'm going to see what they think of this. |
No you go in there are 2 shitters, 1 regular 1 handicapped, both are clean and ready for use. You take the handicapped one, leaving the regular one open..... |
| Sheeeeit! We use the HC stall for pranks. Catch someone in there and get a buddy to help you. Act like you are trying to get in the bathroom door; making a bunch of banging noises. Ask you buddy to help you because you can't get your wheelchair in the door. Make small talk about how you are there on a tour with the corporate officials or something like that and you need to shit real bad and hope there is handicapped accomodations. The stall squatter will be OH SHITTING himself about now. Act startled that the stall is occiupied and talk with your bud about trying to go find another bathroom that isn't occupied. After leaving wait a few seconds then walk back in like two guys going to piss and talk about that poor bastard outside that just shit all over himself. |
Ha! our place has them,of course, but no handicapped people work here-so they are just another stall-a wide,comfy one in a corner with a wall on one side to limit the number of "neighbors",and a nice handrail that serves as a newspaper rack -it's my crapper of choice!

I've had to deal quite a bit with 'accessibility issues'. I promise you this--call it a 'handicap' stall (or 'handicap' parking spot, or 'handicap' whatever) and you will (for the most part) be quickly, and possibly rudely, informed that it isn't 'handicap', but 'ACCESSIBLE'. Sometimes (mostly with things like lower water fountains or the like) you will also be told that "Accessible" means "Accessible to everyone" I use the handicap stall every time I use a public restroom--especially down south where there is a sink in the stall. If I'm ever berated by a disabled person who had to wait for me to finish, you can be damn well sure that they will get the "Accessible means accessible to everyone" speech. |
Well, you see, the last time I was in the handicap stall a blind guy came over and tried to open it up.. I didn't have to look him in the eyes at all! |
I had a blind guy come up to use the urinal once, he swept that cane around to see if there was feet, he made it to the urinal ok |
Damn. You just ruined it for me.  I can't use the bathroom at Home Depot ever since I heard it was one of the most popular "congregating" areas. I suppose the handicap stall at a Home Depot must be the ultimate queer lair.

They are just in there looking at the tools

I'm really glad I heard about this here and not by experience.

I use them mostly cuz im like 7ft tall and it totally makes it easier. I even have a handicap toilet in my bathroom at home Ever notice at some wal marts the entrance to the bathroom is like a big U curve, how do they expect the people on the scooters to get in there anyway. One more reason not to worry about em waitin on you. |
