Is it rude to use a handicap restroom stall if you're not handicapped?

You're not. ANYONE can use those stalls. There is no magic rule saying you can't.

Just try and be quick because unfortunately, there is usually only one per public bathroom and many people who use that bathroom constantly also have bad urinary incontinence (ie. Elderly, wheelchair, serious accident survivor etc.). But I am sure you understand this.

Also, many men's washrooms have a couple urinals and only ONE stall which is a handicap stall....where the hell do these people think men who are not handicapped are going to go #2? On top of that, I find that a lot of people who complain about people using the handicapped stall are extremely overweight....not disabled necessarily, just can't fit into a regular stall. Most of them can make a change and control their weight...you CANNOT control your urinary incontinence and should have priority over them!

If someone says that just tell them you ARE handicapped and that your handicap is NOT visible and that they should be ashamed to assume so! If they don't care about your response, you don't need to care about their opinion. Who are they going to call?

The stall police?

The handicap stalls are NOT specifically for ONLY handicapped people, like the parking spots outside in the parking lot. The handicap stalls are designed so that handicapped people can use the bathroom comfortably. This does not mean that no one else can use the stalls whenever they want.

IF, by chance, a handicapped person came into the restroom while you are in the handicapped stall, they wait, just like the rest of us wait for a stall to be available. You have done nothing wrong, whatsoever, therefore, please do not second guess yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
