[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just add the obvious, which is that this doesn’t apply when non disabled kids are waiting for the accessible swing? I have had parents come over to demand a turn for their kid on what is literally the only piece of equipment he can use, and there are other swings, slides, and climbing equipment available.

And before someone asks, the other parent watched me lift my kid out of his wheelchair into the swing, so they didn’t miss the fact there was a disability.[/quote]

No, it absolutely does not apply to you or your child.  Tell the parent “no”.  That equipment is not for their kid. [/quote]

+100 not only do you not have to cede the swing to a non disabled kid, but if my kid is using that accessible swing they are expected to give it up the very MOMENT a disabled child wants to use it, whether they've been on it 10 minutes or 10 seconds. [/quote]

Absolutely!  [/quote]

Nope. All kids need to learn manners and sharing. They can wait their turn as well. Scorch me I don’t care. [/quote]

Do you also park in the handicapped spots, because disabled people need to learn to share? SMDH.[/quote]

Nope but I do use the handicap stall in the bathroom and those grownups have to wait as well. It’s called living in a whole society. [/quote]

You use the handicapped stall in the restroom when a handicapped individual is waiting for it?!?! Really?[/quote]

I know you're all having fun here patting each other on the back, but you know very well that's not what PP meant. If a handicapped stall is occupied and a disabled person comes in, they do have to wait for the occupant to finish, like anyone else. I've seen people come in and start banging on the handicapped stall expecting someone in the middle of using the toilet to instantly leap up from the toilet and let them have the stall. That's not how life works.[/quote]

You shouldn’t be using that stall unless (1) you need it for accessibility reasons; (2) there is a significant line, no one waiting who appears to need it and you’re going to be very quick; or (3) there is a long line, no one waiting with an apparent need for it, and you are having a true bathroom emergency like starting to crap your pants.  If you’re in there changing your clothes or supervising your toddler kid because you like the extra elbow room, then you’re just a jackass. [/quote]
With this rationale, no one should use the handicap ramp except those that are handicapped. No one should use the handicap door except those that are handicapped. 
The only one - by law - that is restricted to those with a handicap plate or tag is parking. Not bathrooms. Not ramps. Not doors. Not tables.
Most people use these things ALL.THE.TIME. When a handicapped person comes in that requires it, they (quickly) finish what they are doing and get out of the way. [/quote]

Uh yeah, you shouldn't use the handicap ramp when you can use the stairs and someone in a wheelchair needs it. [/quote]
