Such a pet peeve

Why of why do people use the handicap stall when there are plenty of other open stalls? I think that is so rude !!!

sorry, had to vent

I hope none of you ladies do this

Re: Such a pet peeve

I've noticed that people in my building like to use that one when they are on the phone.

Re: Such a pet peeve

I assume that you are referring to a bathroom. If there is not a disabled person in the bathroom and the stall is open, then I think it is fine to use. The room is larger to accommodate wheelchairs. By law, many buildings have to offer accessibility but that does not mean a non-disabled person can't or shouldn't use it.

If you are referring to parking, it is a different story. That is a permit issue. My mother is disabled, has a permit and often has to park further away in a lot than necessary because the dope withour a permit who needs a quart of milk cant move over three spaces. THIS angers me.

I agree with you on the bathroom thing...if there is nobody (handicapped) waiting for it then what is the big deal. I do go in there but only cause there is more room. I would never take it from a handicapped person-that is just wrong. I am usually very quick, I would be out before someone had to use it

I just think it is rude to use it when there are other stalls open. What if someone comes in who NEEDS to use it? That is all I was saying

It is my pet peeve, not necessarily everyone's

No hard feelings girl Its just a bigger stall...hey you never even asked me if I needed one...what if I didnt fit in one of the smaller ones...ok ok I know now Im taking it to the extreme...

Re: Such a pet peeve

I dont think your peeve is stupid at all but there are many things to consider. I never thought of it from your perspective and you have a very valid and good point.

There are different types of disabilities and conditions that warrant quick decision making and stall choice. If a person is in a bathroom where the very first stall is deemed for handicap use and they were incontinent or had to throw up or had some other type of illness, you can be darn sure they would grab the first stall they see in order to maintain a level of dignity. It has happened to me with medical digestive issues and I think most people would agree to grab the first stall rather than have an accident or possibly throw up. If it is a simple 'pee' thing? then yes, make a better choice. And sometimes you go in there thinking that one thing will happen and another does. Oy vey can I stop now?

I think I need a drink!

Re: Such a pet peeve

sorry - but i do....

there is more room in there......

but of course if there is a handicapped person waiting or something i would never....but if the bathroom is empty - i like the space...

Re: Such a pet peeve

If nobody is in there, I will use it because I have a baby in the stroller and I won't let her out of my sight. The other stalls aren't big enough to fit the stroller.
