One of my biggest pet peeves are people who ARE not handicap but park in handicap parking spaces. That includes those people with the fake handicap designation on their dashboard as they feel as though their handicap is simply being over the age of 65. Ashamed to say it but I have recently come to realize that I'm a hypocrite as I am a guilty of a similar offense.
I admit that when I go into public restrooms my first preference is the handicap stall. And why shouldn't it be? They always have more bells and whistles. Of course as a man of my height 5 feet 7 inches, I can barely get up on that high top seat and embarrassingly my feet barely touch the ground but let me tell you the view is beautiful from above. I have room to spread out. The stall area is almost as big as my entire condo. Plus as an added value there are handle bars all around me so I can do two things at once...go to the bathroom and practice my Olympic routine on the makeshift parallel bars.
My confession goes further. I just don't don't abuse the privileges of the handicap bathroom but when I travel, I like to request the handicap hotel rooms. Once again, they are roomier and filled with loads of amenities. That includes the phone in a bathroom, which hotels are straying away from these days. The close proximately to the elevator, which reduces your walk with heavy luggage up and down halls, the flashing light that goes off when a fire alarm is pulled (It also doubles as a strobe light when I have hotel room parties) and once again the room is surrounded with metal handlebars. This comes in handy when we meet local girls and they want to use the bars to stretch their legs as a ballet warm up of sorts.
I realize my confessions are inappropriate but the reality is I'm not the only one using the handicap facilities, if I was they wouldn't continue building them:)
