I will always choose the handicap stall because I like the space between myself and the next stall. It seems like the US bathroom system encourages games of battle shits and I’m not willing to play. I’ve only had one instance where I walked out and a person who actually needed it was waiting. I felt terrible, but it was only once out of hundreds. Does anyone else do this?
Eh, I save the handicap stall for last, but if the rest are taken I’m 100% going to use it.
The stall isn’t reserved for people with disabilities, it’s there for if they need it. Someone who uses a wheelchair needs the extra space, but if someone is waiting either way, their bladder isn’t automatically more important than mine.
In the case of someone with a disability that requires them to have immediate access to a handicap stall, that is unfortunate, but I’d assume some sort of arrangement could be made with HR so that everyone knows that the handicap stall on x floor is off limits or something. But I feel that’s such a fringe case that we shouldn’t be expecting everyone to hold their pee over the possibility.
