handicrapper...do you have an opinion on this?
If it's a two staller, I usually use it. Does this make me a bad person?

I always take it. I always feel like a jerk though when I come out and someone in a wheelchair is giving me the stink eye.0

Consider that it could be someone with a serious bowel complaint that might really NEED to go in here. Handicapped does not always mean a wheelchair is needed.0
-
I won't use it if there's another stall available. But if it's the only one, I'll take it. Someone with a disability is just as capable as anyone else of waiting 2 minutes for me to finish.0

As Larry the cable guy says " The handicap stall is the Cadillac of the poopin stools. You have plenty of leg room and you have those bars to grab onto to give you extra leverage for the really tough ones."
do I use it? shoot I prefer it. I must also say there is nobody in my office in "need" of that stall.0 -
Somebody with a serious bowel complaint wouldn't need a bigger stall BUT they might not be able to wait for another one to become available.0

<<<<<<<< giggling at the word "handicrapper." Never heard that before!0

I never use that one, I would feel like a jerk if I came out and someone that actually needed it was outside waiting.0
-
I always take it if it's available, especially if I have my kid with me. Lot's of space, I take about 20 seconds to pee, no harm done.0

If I've had a little too much fiber, combined with something spicy or hot, then I like the option to use the hand rails provided in the handicapped stall.0
-
I do only because 85% of the time when I have to use a public restroom, it's with my son. He's 4 so unless dad is with us he goes in the women's with me!0

LOL!0 -
How do you know they are able bodied? I use the handicap because I had surgery and have screws in my back. I need the rail sometimes to stand. You wouldn't know that if you didn't know me and just saw me walking around a store. Although, even when I had just had surgery and had this huge back brace on, people would still bump into me or comment that I was walking too slow. Either way, I have never come out of a public restroom and had someone waiting to use the handicap stall.0

"So we should always leave one stall free just in case someone has an emergency? That's dumb. The handicapped stall is for people who need extra ROOM due to a wheelchair, crutches, etc. Not for people who can't hold it."
I just hope you are never in a position to need one because of a weak bowel....you're conscience would be obliged to make you have an "accident" in your pants.0 -
If I've got one prairie doggin', I'm gonna use anything available. If the handicapped stall is all that's available, then I'll use it before I crap myself.0
-
If it's the only one available, I'm taking it immediately.
I'll go to the smaller ones first, as long as they are big enough inside for me.
If the stall is too small, I'll take the bigger one.
I've never used a public ****ter until a couple years ago, when I got IBS.0 -
There are many restrooms I've been to, like the older smaller ones with only two stalls. The large one and the small one. The door doesn't have it posted, PLEASE SAVE FOR PERSONAL CRAPPAGE. If I have to go, I will go in either one. If there is a wheelchair or handicapped person arriving, I'd save it for them but I am not expected to know the future.0
-
Only when I have my kids with me. Three of us just don't fit in the normal stalls and they aren't old enough to go without supervision.0
-
When I was at the local fair the year before last the only portapotty available was a handicapped one so I used it. I came out and there was a woman in a wheelchair waiting for it. I was so embarrassed I've never used a handicapped stall since... though I'm tempted since some of the smaller stalls don't give me any room at my size.0
