That's my understanding too, unlike handicapped parking spaces that are only for the handicapped. I have been told that anyone can use it since, typically you are only in there for a minute or two, so even if someone had to wait, it would not be for long.

Exactly. I would never *consider* using a handicapped parking space...

I'm like Jen, if there is not a handicapped person waiting and it is empty, I use the handicap stall. ALOT more room.

Do you ever have trouble hopping up there?

That's what I think.....I'll almost always used the handicap stall because they're bigger.....same with dressing rooms.

DAMN RIGHT I USE THE HANDICAP TOILET!!!
It's like sitting in a Cadillac Escalade.

Also-at work, a lot of times in the middle of the night when nobody else is in the building, I'll sneak into the three ladies restrooms and lift the toilet seats and get the hell out of there.

I think this confession needs to be in the "Confess your Sins" thread!

I'm not a big fan of shopping, but I don't think I've ever noticed a handicap dressing room... Bathrooms-- as long as I don't see anyone obviously handicap nearby. In Casinos I steer clear of them because there seems to be alot of handicap people cruising around!

Yep! I guess I should have worded it "told nicely never to do it again!"

There were 2 other women who worked here when I started... even worse, shortly after I started, we got the speech on refraining from flushing "dead mice" (think about what this may be referring to in a women's bathroom) down the toilet too.

Really? They are usually the corner stalls for the dressing rooms. Not much difference, but they are a bit larger and have an assistance bar.

They come in really handy if I'm trying on clothes and I have the kiddos with me, and especially if the 'lil guy is in a stroller.

However, for the record, I don't think I've ever seen a handicapped person actually using a public bathroom.

Really? I guess that is because they are not easy to navigate when you are in a wheelchair. Rick tried to avoid them if he could.

The best thing we found was UNISEX bathrooms. I think we were at Disney's ballpark. That way I could go in with him and help him open the door, get his chair in there, and then help him turn around and get out.
