Sometimes, if the bathroom is empty, Bossy treats herself to the handicap stall. Proves how distorted one’s life perspective can become when living out of a car for six weeks.
I only clicked through to see what 4 other people had to say about this picture. If there’s no one handicapped in sight, I sometimes treat myself to the handicapped stall even if I’m not on an extended road trip. Sometimes they are slightly cleaner. And more likely to have tp. Although the seat is kinda sorta almost too high though. I’m just sayin.
my feet dangle when sitting on those seats. plus, always afraid someone in a wheelchair is going to come in and scream at me. of course, I would just reply, not every handicap is a visible one 😉
When my children were babies, I shamelessy would push the stroller right in there. As they’ve gotten older, I try to restrain myself from the big ol’ stall.
I always take them, and can say with confidence that I have never left one and seen anyone handicapped waiting outside. One time a lady told me that her mother is handicapped and I should be ashamed of myself. I told her that there isn’t enough room in a regular stall to empty my colostomy bag.
She had nothing to say to that.
I call them “taj mah-stalls”. It makes me feel less douchey for taking them. Like I’m a princess and not a jerk who steals the space meant for handicapped people
Many times that is the stall where the store/restaurant/business installs the diaper changing table as well.
But it is nice sometimes not to have to do calisthenics to get at the tp because the holder is right against your knee and your elbows are pressed to your sides because of the narrowness of the stall.

April 24, 2010 at 8:48 pmOh sweet Jebus. I would never do any business on a road trip. I have a fear of unfamiliar public bathrooms, handicapped or not.
