Do you think disabled people have an inflated view of their entitlements? Here is an example.

I was out in the wild when nature called. I ran to the nearest public washroom. All 3 midget size stalls were occupied so I took the jumbo size stall. When I came out, there was this guy in a wheelchair and his caregiver giving me dirty looks. Did they think the jumbo size stall is reserved for their exclusive use and should sit empty while "normal" people shit in their pants?:mad:
 
Answer to your first question is generally no, ie. they need the special facilities.

Answer to your second question is yes, ie. it's not a f*ckin parking spot; it's a toilet and I bet you can do your business in under 5 minutes.
 
But they didn't say anything did they? Maybe they gave you a dirty look because your ugly.......
 
I use them all the time.

I'm a tall guy (over 6'4") and most "normal" stalls are too small or tight to be able to use. So by that definition I am handicapped from using the stall comfortably...and I should be allowed to use the handicapped stall.
 
I like em at airports cuz when I travelled for business I could bring all my gear in with me....some of them are bigger than my first apartment!

So no, use them if they're available. As stated, they aren't reserved for a handicapped person's exclusive use....least not yet.
 
The handicapped have no choice but to use the special stalls. You have a choice.

If there were only one other stall I would see your point but there were three. With three other stalls it's more likely a regular one could become available soon, reducing your wait and freeing up the special stall for the special guy.

After all, if you were ahead of him in line, would you go use the special stall and make him wait or let him have it and wait for the next regular stall?

Oh please, they are handicapped, not incontinent.
If all regular stalls are in use, it's absurd to expect an able-bodied person just stand there and wait for one 'just in case' a handicapped person MIGHT come around the corner with an urgent case of the shits.
That's like saying I'm not allowed to walk up a ramp or use an elevator if stairs are available because I MIGHT cause an inconvenience to a person in a wheelchair.

If I may correct you, many disabled individuals are in fact incontinent. Many are also continent. Either may experience autonomic hyperreflexia if their bladder/bowel is not emptied. One symptom is a spike in blood pressure which can be a medical emergency.

Having said that, I feel it is okay to use the stall if all others are occupied and you're quick about it.

an SP once told me she is getting $1200 disability benefit a month for a condition it only happened once in her life. nice doctors...

That isn't the first time I've heard of something like this. A old neighbour of mine when I lived in North York used to work for a company that investigated insurance fraud for insurance companies. The best (or worst depending on how you look at it) was a guy was too injured to work (bad back) and was laid up in bed.....that is until they investigated and found out he was on "vacation" in aruba or somewhere for a month. They sent an investigator down and shot him waterskiing, windsurfing, paragliding etc. So they got a judgement against him while he was away and froze his accounts (or something to that effect). Supposedly he had no money to pay his hotel bill and buy a flight home.....sorry, don't know how it ended....
 
LOL@andy, didn't you know? In our PC world you MUST call em "physically challenged".....or is that now not PC? I'm actually surprised we still call the best parking spots "for handicapped drivers only".....

This SO reminds me of that scene in "There's something about Mary" and Matt Dillon was talking about Mongo and keeping him in a cage lol.....

That's probably a little embellished, or not in Ontario. Defendants have 30 days to file a defence. Moving for summary judgment would probably be at least a month after that. This is Canada. We're really nice people...especially to crooks.

From my understanding he was down there for a while before they caught up to him and for awhile afterwards so it is possible. Come to think of it, they also filed for reimbursement of all the "disability" funds he was paid. Don't know the length of time but it was a couple of years if memory serves.....

Anyhow, goofs like this make my blood boil, it is idiots like this that ruin it for people who really do need disability.......
