🚾♿ Toilets / Parking spaces 🚾♿

[NoahVale]

Do you / would you use the ‘disabled’ toilets? What about the designated parking spaces at (say) the supermarket?

[Epimer]

Disabled loos yes. Disabled spaces no.

[plasticniki]

Disabled loos: yes.

I don’t have a car but if I did I would never park in a disabled parking space.

[NoahVale]

Why loos but not parking spaces then?

[CHAIRMAN_LMAO]

Loos I think is OK as you’ll not be in there long. Parking spaces - no.

[marckee]

No, and no.

[Epimer]

I’ve got IBS and anxiety issues that mean I might need urgent access to a toilet. I don’t have mobility issues that would justify using a disabled parking space.

[Elaina_Casoolare]

They always put the baby change in the disabled loos

[Epimer]

And I’d only use the disabled loo if the others weren’t an option.

[anon50098204]

Use disabled loos when I’m with my son sometimes. Very very rarely if it’s just me, but I have done so a couple of occasions.

[marckee]

They shouldn’t do, and it’s against building regs for new buildings.

[NoahVale]

They are good when you have a youngster to attend to

[NickDS]

You get fined if you park in a disabled space and don’t have a sticker I think.

Not that that’s the only reason not to do it but it’s very different to popping into the disabled toilets if the other toilets are occupied.

[japes]

shitter i’ll be in and out, absolute worse case scenario someone has to wait on me for like two minutes.

[GEOFF]

Only use Disabled Toilets if all of the other options are unavailable. This happens incredibly rarely. I mean I don’t go “oh the disabled bog looks nicer I’ll just go in there”.

[bugduv]

Sure. They’re cleaner and my boss is much less likely to find me.

[anon50098204]

My son’s very sensitive to certain noises - one of which is toilet cisterns. So they’re a bit of a godsend tbh.

[urbanfox]

I use the disabled trap in our toilets here as its a bit more spacious.

Zero chance of anyone needing it as this part of the building is off-limits to disabled folk.

^sort of this on occasion, also it’s much easier to sort a Mooncup out in a disabled toilet as the sink is right next to the loo, so often when I’m on my period I need to use the disabled loos

and like japes says, the worst case scenario is someone has to wait to use the loo for a couple of mins?
