    I like to use the handicapped jacks because since they are used less they are usually cleaner and I enjoy the space.

    Some people really seem to have a problem with this but it's not like it stops disabled people from using them it just means they have to wait for 1 person.

    Do you enjoy the space and convenient hand rails of the disabled jacks?

    No, I feel guilty about it. The last time I used it, I walked out the door to find a man in a wheelchair waiting to go in. Maaaaan was I red in the face. Never again.

    Walk with a limp as you come out and nobody will say anything to you again!

    Doing coke in the wheelchair jacks.

    OP, it sounds like you have a legitimate reason to use them.

    Why it's not like it was any major inconvenience unless he also had some digestive disability that makes him **** himself but in that case he would have a bag.

    Love that episode.. never laughed so hard!!

    I'd use them only if I didn't spot any disabled people in the area and I really needed to! Plus there's more room for activities.

    Dont you mean the handy toilets?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    I use them if I really have to, if the rest of the cubicles are full & the jig I'm doing on the spot isn't working.

    But I hate, HATE, people who use disabled parking spaces.

    There's a difference making a thirty second piss in a disabled toilet to parking in a disabled parking space just to be closer to the door.

    Disabled toilet = necessity at times
    Disabled parking space = a lazy cnut with full use of their legs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    They're handicap-adapted toilets, not handicap only, in my mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,817 ✭✭✭pebbles21


    Used them once and there was an angry looking man in a wheelchair waiting outside when i walked out ......i said "I-I-I ha ha ha have a stut stut stutter!!"and kept walking







    *and yes i nicked it from curb


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 777 ✭✭✭.SONIC.

    I am partial to using the cripple shítters from time to time.

    Plenty of room, good solid 'throne' and bars to brace against.

    Was in McDonalds in the Stillorgan SC recently,and there was a 'gusher' on the clutch.

    Spotted the CS on the bottom floor, and hung off the bars, hovering,then hosed out a spread loose chunky midden all over the pot and seat.

    There was extensive spread, and a reeking smell like fresh offal.

    Had to do a hurried arse clean and left just in time to see a young lady in a wheelchair being wheeled towards the facility.

    Sorry 'bout that missus:o

    I've used the handicapped toilets to have naps in when I'm hungover in work.

    OK, I'll admit that I have actually done that before.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 417 ✭✭Wolf Club


    I don't see the problem with it if it's an emergency/more convenient. If there were a long queue of disabled people waiting on the handy jacks i probably couldn't skip them but otherwise it's sound.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 928 ✭✭✭bertie4evr


    Whats all this about Peru? I feel left out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    There really is nothing more luxurious than holding onto a rail while making a poopy, not to mention knocking the dangly piece of string back and forth in a playful way.

    I kind of like that fact that anyone who reads this thread will think myNameIsURL is the weirdo and not me.:D

    Just put a stick in their spokes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,976 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    Only in real emergencies when out but use them in work quite often as they very rarely get used and:

    1. When I cycle into work I do be sweating and it's almost like having my own changing room

    2. On the days I'm going over to the girlfriends after work I usually shave in their as I don't have time in the morning and she hates facial hair

    I might feel bad if I was caught but it hasn't happened yet!

    everything you said in the op appeals to me about the disabled jacks

    I go out of my way to releive myself in them all the time and no I wouldn't park in their space

    disabled toilet ftw!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 844 ✭✭✭Elevator


    the main attraction to them for me is the fact that they are usually vacant when ya need to go so don't see the problem


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭PK2008


    I used the handicapped changin room in a clothes shop once by accident- when I realised my mistake I tried on the jumper as quick as I could in order to get out fast...

    In my haste I put it on backwards...... and inside out!!!

    Looking in the mirror I didnt feel so guilty then.

    I'll never do it again, the last time I used them I was on acid I was in there for a while and thought I was on a game show. When I opened the door I thought I'd won the man in the wheelchair.

    I was waiting outside one with my sister (genuine wheelchairer) and when the perfectly able bodied previous occupant emerged, the amount of silent judging I was able to gorge myself on really brightened my day no end.

    The handicapped toilets are ideal for sleeping in during the day. It's practically impossible to nod off when you're sitting on the bowl and then just as you get that "jerk" as you're about to snooze, some arsehole comes in, banging around, coughing, washing himself, etc.
    The handicapped jacks, by comparison, is an oasis. Just wait for the permanently grinning Nigerian girl to clean it at about 11:00am, then you're sorted. It's always on the ground floor and usually on a side of the building away from the pestilence stricken multitudes.
    You can bring your favourite herbal pillow and lie down on the pristine tiles, shut the light off, have your mobile send the odd moronic email to all in your group automatically and then sleep for at least two hours. It helps if there's no TRUE cripples in the office.
    The hours 11-1:30 are best for sleeping. Every dope in the building has already done their best to avoid being detected with a hangover and are now busy seeing what's on the menu.

    Gimme a wakeup call tomorrow at say, 13:00, guys.
