Wheelchair accesable lavatories

    Are they fair game for people not confined to a wheelchair??

    Simple situation happened to me recently where there was three cubicals two in use and one free which was wheelchair accessable. So naturally i went into the wheelchair accessable one. Afterall they still are toilets albeit wheelcahir accesable.

    Then when I came out a man (not in wheelchair) was waiting for one of the other two to become free said I was "a disgrace and should be ashamed of myeslf". He then stood there waiting for one of the other two cubicals to become vacant while the wheelchair one was left unoccupied.

    I can understand it if I parked in a wheelchair accessable spot at the supermarket but surely the same rule doesnt apply here

    I use 'em. They're cleaner and spacier(It's a word). I leave the toilet seat up on purpose. I am an asshole*.

    I like the fact they're always free for me to do coke in.

    Perhaps he noticed that you'd forgotten to put your lad away.

    Why must you belittle my business?! ...yes; I do. It was quite obvious. Since when have you been picky about what type of toilet you use for buttsecks?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    I reckon theyre fair game. they are there in case a disabled needs a toilet, and they would have to wait to pee, like everyone else.

    Seriously, in many cases, they cannot wait... without things getting messy; and they don't have a choice of cubicles like you do.

    Best invention ever.
    Really comes in handy for fat fúcks like me.

    Karoma:

    Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
    About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
    in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the
    cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
    area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
    colon, we don't know.

    (Sung)
    I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
    I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
    I like football and porno and books about war.
    I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

    My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
    My feet on my table and a cuban cigar.

    But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
    (oh no) no way (uh-uh)
    No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
    (oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
    While people behind me are going insane.

    I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
    I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
    I use public toilets and piss on the seat,
    I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"
    I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
    I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
    Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
    While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
    I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
    I'm an asshole (He's a real ****ing asshole)

    Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
    Ranting and raving and carrying on
    Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
    NAAAAH!

    I'm an asshole (he's an asshole, what an asshole)
    I'm an asshole (he's the world's biggest asshole)

    (Spoken)
    Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado,
    hot-****in'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big
    brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in
    that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, suckin' down
    quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-
    biodegradable styrofoam containers... yeah! And when I'm done suckin' down
    those greaseball burgers I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the
    side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why?
    Because we got the bombs, that's why... yeah! Two words--nuclear ****in'
    weapons, OK? Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, they can have all the democracy
    they want...they can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of
    Tienamen Square and it won't make a lick of ****in' difference, because we got
    the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead--he's frozen! And when we find a cure for
    cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You
    know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million
    times--that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and
    John Casavetti and Sam Peckinpaw and a case of ****in' whisky and drive...

    (Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know you really are an asshole?)

    Why don't you shut up and sing the song, Chris. I thought I was the
    asshole... all the time it was him... what an asshole!

    (Sung)
    I'm an asshole (I'm an asshole, he's an asshole)
    I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
    A S-S H-O L-E
    Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
    Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay
    A-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom
    Oooooooo

    (Spoken)
    I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it!

    No they are not fair game and only compete and other (insert long list of curse words here)would use them when their not disabled.

    Oh yeah. I suppose it would take a bit more time to get out of a wheelchair.
    When I need to go, all I see is a toilet, whether it is male/female or disabled. Even a concealed area would suffice.

    If anything, I'd rather disabled toilets; like you said, there's more space!

    Admirable. Classy. That's my opinion of you right there, in a nutshell.

    Roish. So you've never pee'd anywhere other than a toilet then? How saintly.

    I'll go to the back of the bus too then.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I use em and i'm proud! In fact i've found in a lot of gas stations they only have one pee pee room and that is a wheelchair accessible one.

    But if there was no other option and the disable pee pee room is vacant then i'm not going to wait, esp if it's No. 2!! Sometimes you just gotta go.

    I don't like how the sink is so low though. They should make wheelchairs higher.

    I know this is afterhours but Moonbaby was right though thats a very ignorant way to refer to a person who's disabled.

    Agreed; however, there remains a difference between attacking the post (Allowed, and encouraged) and attacking the post (Not allowed.)

    Sorry if I offended people, I should have written 'person' after it, but didn't as I didn't think.
    Think all you like about me, but at the end of the day, this is after hours and if you get offended easily by ignorance, you have a long battle ahead. Stick me on your ignore list, if you will.

    The same could be said for your forum.
    One of us could go over there and start a lot of threads about sometihng you don't want to have there.
    Or you could respect the rules of a certain forum and not start a lot of threads designed to annoy the regulars.

    Ok, this has gone off-topic, I was referring to my post in this thread, not my christmas threads (which I wasn't doing to annoy I genuinely thought it was christmas posting time)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Lots of places only have a single, disabled-access toilet as their public wc facilities. The shopping centre in Maynooth, Tesco in Tipperary Town, and numerous filling stations for example. If I need to use a toilet, I would much rather use the disabled access toilet than wet myself in public, I see nothing wrong with that. Hyper PC or wha'?

    In places where its an all in one toilet its fine but not anywhere else unless its an emergency (as in young child/person with bowel/bladder problems/or your really really stuck)

    What about wheelchair accessible Taxis. If you were waiting all night long for a Taxi and a wheelchair accessible Taxi came along, would you refuse it, the same way you'd refuse to take a dump in a wheelchair accessible toilet? Serious question.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭gerky


    I do think wheelchair accessible Taxis are overused by fully able bodied people but thats down to the drivers not the people using them.Some drivers purposely pickup able people over disabled people.

    I asked you if you would refuse one. While some things are wheelchair accessible I don't think they should be wheelchair exclusive, apart from parking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭gerky


    Seeing as I'm disabled no I wouldn't.

    There are many regulations that state buildings require disabled access/toilet facilities etc... but recently it has been said that buildings should be designed so as to NOT segregate disabled users from others. IE, a person in a wheelchair shouldnt have to take a detour to use a ramp or a separate set of toilets etc.. So therefore i reckon they are fair game for anyone to use and should be treated as a universal bathroom that is usable by all

    EDIT: Same goes for taxis

    You are full of it. Its 3am in the morning, you've been waiting an hour for a taxi and a wheelchair accessible taxi comes along, you'd seriously refuse it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭gerky


    I meant I wouldn't refuse it as I'm disabled.

    If you couldn't find a wheelchair accessible taxi would you take a normal taxi???

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭gerky


    If I needed to yes,I don't mean able people shouldn't be aloud to use them just that a lot of disabled people don't have the choice to use an ordinary taxi.
    And now I bid you goodnight.

    You can't beat the w/c dunny for a good shyte.

    They are great when you have to dump a reluctant load like a horses head.

    Hang on to the bars,feet up on the door and grunt and groan all you want.

    If you hear anyone just start muttering and moaning loudly and rattle the cistern

    lid if there is one.Usually sends them on their way.

    The bog rolls are easier to get at too,and the big swing bar to ease you off the

    pan can be a Godsend.

    Its like travelling First Class instead of economy imho.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    It't legally illegal to use the disabled toilet, even for the disabled themselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭flanum


    reminds me of "the it crowd" the one where roy uses a disabled jacks, and then kind of has to roll with it and let on he is disabled!!
