if you're concerned about cleanliness, I'd assume the handicapped stall is also the most frequently used one.

personally, I usually use the stall closest to the door since that's typically the least used stall.

Do you ever steal handicapped parking spaces?

Yes indeed. Of course, having handicapped plates on one vehicle and a placard for the others does make it legal...


Do you use the handicapped stall?

Generally, only if it's the only one available. I don't need the extra height of the commode nor the handrails in the stall, but the extra room in them is nice.

Oops, I thought the 1st question was do you steal handicap stall. No, I never steal the handicap parking spot or pose to be a handicap. My fellow citizens of the city I live in is another story. Everybody has a handicap tag.

Always. It's roomier, and there are no handicap people around most of the time.

No one is handicap in my office, so whatever.

Someone has already asked this question on ATOT and it was answered. This thread is obsolete. Goodbye.

I don't think many other people pay much attention either. Interesting.

It's marked with the logo to indicate that it has accommodations for the handicapped, not to indicate that it is only for handicapped. Everyone knows this. You are an idiot.

No, I don't. I actually prefer the smaller stalls ... I don't like large spaces around me when I have my pants down.

Every time. My second choice is the single shitter "family" bathroom my office has. I'm happy to come back later after the seat cools if it's in use, unless it's peekin. More room is a given. It's the other benefits I enjoy. Most of all, I like the taller toilet. Short ones make my legs fall asleep when I've been eating too much cheese. It's also nice to have a door that opens out so you don't have to practically stand on the toilet to open or close it. Although I have yet to need the rails, it's nice to know they are there in case I decide to try the thermonuclear chili.
