Right or Wrong?

Dups. · Post by **Dups.** » November 13, 2003, 11:00 am

Ok, so here's the story.

I had to go to the washroom at work. I walk into the washroom and some maintenance guys are fixing something in there. He tells me that they will be a while but the handicap washroom is available.

The handicap washroom is a little room on it's own. One toilet. Very spacious and clean because nobody uses it. I believe we do not have a handicapped person on my floor of the building.

So I use the washroom and an idea comes to me.

I bike to work. It's a long enough bike ride that I am a little sweaty when I reach the office. Now , I usually go into the regular washroom. Change into my spare change of clothes and wash up there. Face clothes on the upper body real quick. Now I do not mind doing this and I do not mind if someone comes in and sees me doing this.

But I was thinking. Hell, I can start using the handicapped washroom. It has a lock on the door. This way , I will not be bothering anyone that comes into the normal washroom and sees me in my skimpy Superman underwear! On the bonus side it's nice , private, clean and spacious.

Now the issue of morals comes in. Using a handicapped washroom when I am not handicapped myself.

Should I keep doing this or is it wrong and unfair kinda like parking in a handicapped zone without a permit. Do I need a permit to use a handicap washroom?

I am only in there for 5 to 10 minutes.

To tell you the truth I always use handicap washroom when I have to use public washroom. They are usually the cleanest because they are not used as often. Plus you have a lot of leg room

So.... what do you think:?:

If it's always empty use it, I don't see a reason why not.

Unless I'm in a line to the restroom in a mall or something and there's a chance that someone in that line might need the handicap room or stall.
Otherwise I'll use it.

I for some reason have a vision of the Seinfeld episode where George was sleeping under his desk.

Anyway, if no one uses it, use it. If someone shows up when you are in there, just say you had to go bad and the normal people bathroom was all full. If you don't look out for yourself, no one else will

The CEO of our company is in a wheelchair, and one day I rushed to the bathroom for a #2 that was damn near emergency status. When I got in there, all of the stalls were occupied, save the handicapped one. Since I had no other choice, I went in and got down to business. As I'm sitting there, under the door I see some wheels roll up, and hear someone pulling on the door. A curse was muttered, and he quickly left.

I have rarely felt as bad as I did that day, but there really wasn't much I could do. Since that day (I don't know if I am the cause) they put little signs on all the handicapped stalls in all of the buildings that say something like "Reserved for handicapped people, please try to use a different stall" or whatever.

Proceed at your own risk.

If you're not handicapped from the ride by the time you get to work, you're not riding hard enough!

As long as there are no handicapped people working there, you're probably getting there early enough that it really doesn't matter.

Why in hell would you feel bad about that?

Handicap people should have to wait in line too right? the other stalls were taken right?

Shit like this pisses me off, I went to Six Flags Great adventure with my family last summer and this Fat ass in a wheel chair with his family of 10 inbreeds rolls up the exit line and gets to ride the ride ASAP. I say tell him the line is 40 minutes and come back.

The best part of the day was when the Coaster crew had 3 ppl pushing the safety bar down on his stomach so Senor Far Ass could ride.

Calixte · Post by **Calixte** » November 13, 2003, 1:43 pm

My boyfriend is permanently disabled, so I am a bit overly sensitive when it comes to people occupying spots reserved for the handicapped. It infuriates me when some fuck who isn't disabled parks his Lexus in the handicapped spot and justifies it with "I was only going to be a minute." I can't think of anything that pisses me off more, because I know how painful just walking can be at times for my boyfriend. No handicapped person should be forced to walk a long distance because of some asshole's laziness.

However, I think using handicapped bathroom stalls are just slightly different. It doesn't cause the person any pain having to wait just a minute for whoever is in the stall to finish up their business and get out. It's more of an inconvenience then anything. Personally, I try not to use them because you never know when someone who IS disabled may come along, but if it's an emergency, there isn't much you can do.

If you are sure there aren't any handicapped people that need to use that stall, I can't see it being a major problem, especially when you're gonna be quick.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » November 13, 2003, 1:43 pm

I don't use handicap parking spaces for two reasons. One, they are needed and even if occupied for a few minutes, it would cause a problem if a handicapped person needed to park. Two, you get a big ticket : )

As for handicapped bathroom stalls, I've never seen any potty police handing out fines so as long as you don't bring a newspaper and spend a half hour in there, it's ok to use the handicapped stall! If that's a problem then buy me an E-Ticket to hell please!

I agree completely. I've been seriously tempted many times to 'accidentally' inflict damage to said vehicles.. carts.. keys.. bottles happening to roll under the passenger rear tire..

On the other hand, it aggrivates me to see a parking lot with 10 rows of 6 handicapped parking spots each. I'm sorry, but unless there's a sale on wheelchair chrome bling bling rims or something, there's no reason for half a parking lot to be taken up with unused spaces.

But either way, I wouldn't park in them, regardless of how long I planned on being.

George: Jerry, it's fantastic. I love the people over there. They treat me so great. You know they think I'm handicapped, they gave me this incredible office, a great view.

Jerry: Hold on, they think you're handicapped?

George: Yeah, yeah, well, because of the cane. You should see the bathroom they gave me!

Jerry: How can you do this?

George: Jerry, let's face it, I've always been handicapped. I'm just now getting the recognition for it. Name one thing I have that puts me in a position of advantage. Huh? There was a guy that worked at the Yankees-- no arms! He got more work done than I did, made more money, had a wife, a family, drove a better car than I did.

Jerry: He drove a car with no arms?

George: Alright I made up the part about the car, but the rest is true. He hated me anyway!

Jerry: Do you know how hard it's getting just to tell people I know you?

George: I love that bathroom. It's got that high, high toilet. I feel like a gargoyle perched on the ledge of a building.

I totally agree on the handicapped parking issue. I see so many people not handicapped with temporary handicapped parking mirror thingies. I used to have one when I would be taking my Grandmother about town. I NEVER parked in handicapped spots when she was not with me.

I hope the bastards that do get rommed with hitler in the afterlife and are forced to suck John Wayne Gacy's bikini briefs for all eternity.

I'm about to make a deposit in the roomy, railed handi-john though.

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » November 13, 2003, 2:40 pm

I wouldn't call using the handicapped bathroom/stall when you refuse to park in handicapped parking spaces hypocritical.

IMO they are two completey different scenarios. I would never park in a handicapped spot because "waiting" for a handicapped parking spot is different than "waiting" for a handicapped toilet stall. You can't feasibly line up for a parking space.

The way I see it is that while parking spaces are RESERVED - bathroom stalls are AVAILABLE. Not using a handicapped bathroom stall when all others are full and you have to go is silly (though I wouldn't necessarily plan on camping out for the long haul if there is the chance someone handicapped may need that stall). Similar to how commercial buildings have ramps and elevators available for handicapped people to use to, it doesn't mean other people can't use them.

I think waiting for a bathroom stall is something all females (and probably males) are unfortunately familiar with - handicapped or not. And in a situation where there isn't even anyone who might need that stall working on your floor or in your building, use it.

So go for it - and if anyone complains - whine about not having a shower to wash your stank off instead of merely swapping out all but the underoos

The reason is because that's a zoning law. I don't know exactly what it is, probably something like 1:100, but there's a ratio that they have to maintain. It may vary from area to area. So I doubt you found a parking lot with 60 handicapped parking spots unless it had 6000 normal parking spaces.

Fattyfat · Post by **Fattyfat** » November 13, 2003, 3:40 pm

is it not possible that the stall is just handicap 'accessable' rather than 'reserved for' ? Unlike a parking spot, a handicap permit isn't required to drop a duece in the stall.

DO you ever walk up the wheelchair slopes? Do you ever walk thru a door that is automatic? Or how about using a guardrail? Or an over sized elevator? Or a water fountain that has the push part on the front of it. All of these just mean they are handicap/wheelchair accessible. You don’t need any type of hanging tag to use them anybody can its just a person that is in a wheelchair knows that the bathroom or any of these are accessible by them.

In fact brb runnign to the restroom !

I understand that. I'm simply saying if a parking lot has a lot of spaces it's more than likely not because they wanted to but because the law made them.

Personally it doesn't bother me if I have to walk an extra 50 feet.

The Super Walmart near me just put in 4 self check-out registers. Very nice, except for the fact that 60% of the people who go through those lines can't figure out how them there new-fangled machineries work, so it sometimes ends up taking about as long to get through one of those lines as it does getting through a regular line.

There's a "Super" Walmart near my neighborhood that used to have Icee's inside but they put in a McDonalds. That really negated any reason for me to go to Walmart unless it's 3am and I'm desparate for an extension cord or some other oddball item that only 24/7 walmart can provide.
