    Well, anyone who abuses stuff for the handicapped is a jerk (although I do use wheelchair bathroom stalls if the others are full. I don't see anything wrong with this, as I see no reason why handicapped people shouldn't have to wait a minute for the bathroom like everyone else).

    Because they may have 'other' issues related to their disability? Because there is usually only one (or two if lucky) disabled stall whilst there are numerous 'abled' ones in public toilets and they have no choice?

    I'm talking only when all the others are full. So I have no choice either. I think that's no biggie. It the only stall free is a wheelchair accessible, I'm taking it. And I think that's fine, because in many places, the only washroom available at all is one that needs to be shared by everyone including the disabled.

    I don't agree with that PJ_soul but each their own. A disabled person may not be able to 'hold on' as well as others but more to the point, for me it's a question of principle. Where do you draw the line? Whether it's toilets, parking spaces or other designed for disabled, that's how it should be. Not a 'pick and choose'. If all the parking spaces were full in a parking lot but the disabled one, would you use it because you 'have no choice' (theoretical question - no need to answer!) Some things may not be a 'biggie' for one but could be for the other..... Just saying.

    *Shrug* Yeah, well, I've asked a couple of disabled people about it, as well as that friend with the disabled son, and they agree it's fine (especially considering often the "wheelchair bathroom" is the only one in an establishment, as is the case with most coffee shops and smaller dining places), so I'll go with it and feel okay. :)
    It's different with the parking spaces, because you don't only have to wait literally 1 minute for a parking space, and have no way of knowing when it will be available again.

    again today
    two seperate assholes who can use a different changing area
    are using one (there are 2 changing rooms side by side and they are suited for disabled folks)

    i can climb the stairs. hurts bad. i can climb down the stairs slowly. hurts bad. i am in pain 24x7.
    each step while walking the park is pain and agony. when i get home and sit down
    my knees are freakin out
    fucking unreal

    these assholes don't have my pain
    i can guarantee it

    one of the folks that came walking out of the disabled changing room is a woman is walks around town
    she comes into the gym and locks herself in the changing room i need to use and she does a number 2 in there so when she leaves i can open the door and walk into a foggy haze of her foul ass


    she has does this to me twice so far and i am getting pissing

    the other room is being used by jerk off gray sweat suit guy whom makes everyone in his personal life believe he is a good guy whom works out hard everyday. you sir are a false bastard who should be walking his lazy ass up the stairs. you sir are a joke and a unmotivated cock.

    i agree that people who do this suck...i had knee surgery for a torn ACL almost two years ago and had a 3 month temp tag. as i got better and closer to the end date i was able to walk with a slight limp, but it didn't stop someone from yelling at me until i explained to her my situation. in the early aftermath of my surgery when i really, really needed it i became attuned to those assholes that took the spot and her yelling at me, while frustrating, made sense.
