Disabled toilets Page 4

Quote: Curt @ November 12 2009, 10:09 PM GMT

I used to use the one at the top floor of my Uni because no one went there and it was thus always clean.

My wife had a very unfortunate event happen. She works later than anyone else in her office so she usually uses the Handi bathroom to change in (because its big enough) into her bicycle gear (she bikes to and from work everyday). I should also note that there is not a bathroom on her floor and she needs to go down a flight to the nearest. Aaaaaand she didn't know of anyone on that floor who was in a wheelchair.
One day when coming out from the this handi bathroom with all her bike stuff on a woman in a wheelchair was sitting outside with her arms crossed and a stare of death on her face. She was scolded loudly about how awful of a person she was for using the handi bathroom.
She told me all she could do was stair and say "but..but...I was just changing quickly".
She left that job recently but that woman in a wheelchair still stared her down. Apparently the woman in the chair had just started that day.

Ha! I could tell you some stories about baby changing/feeding rooms and stroppy parents.

But I won't because they're pretty boring...

Grr those toilets that have baby changing cubicles. Taunting us they are, taunting us. You think it's a proper crapper and it's just a cubicle with a table.

Like a KFC without gravy.

Has this thread had more posts than the Life of Reily one yet?

Maybe there's a case to be made for public non-toilet spaces to be provided, where people can go and do things like changing, or whatever, without having to go into a loo.

I have used disabled loos when I've had to take a buggy in with me (they're the only ones big enough) and it didn't seem anyone else needed them.

Had to help someone who was disabled use them recently and they still seemed very tricky to use.

The problem is they have the sink in them, so you use the sink then realise you have to touch the door and then wash your hands again and then you have to hold the door open with your foot and open the other doors with your elbows.

Or is that just me?

'Normal' toilets are no better though. Still have to open at least one door after washing your hands. Unless you're lucky enough to be able to wait until someone else comes in or out.

If it's an athletic woman in biker gear, then there is a place for them to get changed in public.

It's called pornography. More porn film shoots less disabled toilets I say.

By the way Curt Handitoilet? Sounds like a toilet exclusively for wanking.

I told her you said that and she shrieked then started rambling to me:
"BUT NO! It was only a quick change and she yelled at me and I didn't mean to but the bathroom was all the way down stairs...and it's really small!"
She also said "My whole bike ride home was ruined because of that person!"

Well...my personal handi toilet in the University gave a lot of privacy.

I've seen a baby monkey pull the poo out of an adult monkey at the zoo.

He then laughed and the adult got angry.

Oh that is fabulous.

Your Missus should have pushed her down the stairs.

That's too sensible and good an idea to be workable in this country.

If only there was a solution to them, a final solution.

Anyone ever had a wank in one of these? Of course, I'm only joking.

I actually know someone who smoked a joint of cannabis in an outside portable toilet.

RADAR have terrible problems with people buying keys to disabled toilets (shit please pretend I have been calling them accessible, I appologise for being so UnPC)on ebay. Then moving into them or using them as brothels.

Some human beings are scum.

You and Aaron should start your own eugenics club.

Most of the big train stations have showers that are quite expensive.

Except London Bridge which has 2 of those weird TARDIS shit boxes, which eat you if you're longer than 20 minutes.

Surely easier to set fire to the toilet and get high off the burning plastic fumes.

And I am losing patience with all the blind guys using the public toilets on Hampstead Heath. Use the urinal stop sticking your dinkle through the hole in my toilet cubicle wall.
