Am I mistaken in thinking the standard handicapped stall protocol is that it's up for grabs, except handicapped people go straight to the head of the line?

I've always treated it that way, though sometimes I feel guilty -- what if I take it on a whim, and someone comes in who really needs it 30 seconds later?

And then I remind myself that has never happened in the last 20-some years, and quit feeling guilty. But, anyhow, I'll be interested to see what the consensus is.

Frankly, I don't see how Spock would be good at slaying Sith....

Well, for starts he has a brain and would use the power of logic to a) see that Palpatine was a Sith Lord; b) not assign the known to be unstable Annakin to keep an eye on him; and c) when he showed up to arrest the exceedingly powerful evil guy he'd bring some staff.

Me, I take it even if others are available -- I wonder if I'm violating an unspoken etiquette.

I don't think so. I mean, (edit: I mean to say "OTHER THAN") in a nursing home or someplace where there are an atypical number of people who need the big stall, I don't see the problem.

But again, I do feel free to use the men's room.

I'm with ita. if I see a mom with little kid(s) I do tend to let them in if it is a line situation.

Single stall men's rooms, I'm assuming?

Otherwise, hella ballsy.

As far as I can tell, there's one person on this section of the floor who needs the handicapped stall (I think she's too fat to comfortably fit through the standard stall door), and I've never seen her wait for it.

I think I'm a little too attached to the roominess. They're just so spacious! Why wouldn't you want all that room every time?

Uhh, not that I'll wait in line for it, or anything.

Me, I take it even if others are available -- I wonder if I'm violating an unspoken etiquette.

I take it too, but would dispute that there's a restriction on using it unless you have a reason to think someone will go stall-less otherwise.

I wouldn't take the handicapped stall at work because there are several handicapped women who use it. Otherwise, if it's the only one available and there are no handicapped women in line I have no problems using it.

I've always treated it that way, though sometimes I feel guilty -- what if I take it on a whim, and someone comes in who really needs it 30 seconds later?

Even if it happened, (unlike a handicapped parking space) you're gonna be out of there in < 2 minutes, so shouldn't be a massive deal. I'll generally take another available stall (if any) unless I have bags at the mall, or need a quick clothing change, or something.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

I hate keeping track of which stall has a fully functional toilet and door and is not completely visible in the mirror. Used to be the handicapped stall fulfilled all those criteria nicely.

Can we all agree that bathroom stalls without doors are evil?
