[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we are on a rant here...WTF people and handicap bathrooms.  Am I the only one in the world who gets pissed when there are tons of open bathrooms and people go use the handicaped ones?

Yeah, yeah...you can't judge etc.  Save the handicaped bathrooms for people who need them.  [/quote]

Why? It doesn't use the handicapped stall up, when a non-handicapped person uses it.

Now obviously it's different if a person plans to occupy the handicapped stall for a long time, or if a person who could use any stall rushes into the handicapped stall ahead of a person who can only conveniently use the handicapped stall. [/quote]

+1. I'll use it if no one is otherwise waiting for it if I need to change clothes or I have my 5 year old daughter with me. They aren't dedicated bathrooms; they're available. But obviously I'm not heading in there if someone needs it is behind me.[/quote]

For someone in a wheelchair that needs to do a lateral transfer in order to get on/off the toilet, the added space next to the toilet is vital.  Without that extra space there would be no way for them to make the transfer.  [b]While on the other hand, a normal size stall has sufficient space to change clothes or attend to a 5 year old.[/quote][/b]

Um, NO, I find many of the smaller stalls only have room for the toilet and the stall door. I'm not generally claustrophobic, but some of these stalls, you need to stand on the toilet in order to open the door and exit, or squeeze between the toilet and the feminine product trash can, I don't want my clothing brushing up against the toilet and the stall... Add a child into the mix.... So if there is not a person in a wheel chair or otherwise handicapped waiting behind me, I use the handicapped stall for sure, I usually have 2 kids to keep track of and a stroller, and half the time, the baby changing station is in the stall. It's not exclusively for wheel chairs. Once I was waiting to use the big stall with my stroller and kids, the woman in the stall was breast feeding! I really had to pee. I explained to the poor new mom that there was a family bathroom with cozy chairs for nursing in another part of the mall. Just not a good situation for anyone, but I digress. [/quote]
