I will always choose the handicap stall because I like the space between myself and the next stall. It seems like the US bathroom system encourages games of battle shits and I’m not willing to play. I’ve only had one instance where I walked out and a person who actually needed it was waiting. I felt terrible, but it was only once out of hundreds. Does anyone else do this?
I’m trying to picture the contortions you have to go through to smack your knee on your bowel.
When the space is limited enough, I frequently have to be as close to the side as possible (yellow) for the door (purple) to swing shut (blue). Trying not to lean on the gross wall covered in pee splash means doing a little shuffle trying to turn so I can close the stupid door and bending a knee means it has to go somewhere. Since my back is towards the wall, that means knee goes forward.
Being clumsy means sometimes I move a little too far and hello hard porcelain, here I come. It isn’t an issue if the stall isn’t so tiny that the door is almost hitting the toilet. But so many of them are that tiny.
Ok. You meant bowl.
It has been a long day!
