yeartolate said:Having a wheelchair is not the only reason to use a handicap stall. So watch your perceptions that "ablebodied" people are using them. I had several surgeries to correct a tendon problem in my ankle. After a series of casts were removed, the work began. One of the TOUHGHEST things I had to do was to sit down on a low toilet to pee. Put me to tears. So the cast was gone, the crutches were gone, and all's you saw was a 40 year old women going into the stall - I would have appeared "able bodied". But the high seat was a lifesaver. Damn straight I had a right to use it. Does the person in a wheelchair deserve that stall more than me? Nope. The wheelchair person not getting the stall might mean incontinence. Me not getting the seat might have meant more surgery.
I agree. NOBODY can tell who is "ablebodied" or not. Hopefully others will learn from this thread.
