@AffyAvo

OMG - I just learned I'm not supposed to use the disabled bathroom stall...even if all the others are full! I will change my behavior accordingly. Drat.

@MsBrownieBee That's one where I have heard conflicting things. When there's a line I think it makes sense to make full use of the washrooms personally. If someone really needs a washroom, let them skip regardless of the type of stall. If someone in a line needs the handlebar/extra space/lower toilet then when the washroom comes free they can have it.
