    Ok they wouldnt put the little picture on the door of a disabled person if that wasnt who it was intended for. Also I am carer, this is not a question of disabled people feeling like equals so should wait like us, this is a matter of medical need in some cases. To put it bluntly if their catheter is full to bursting and they have to wait for an able bodied person to finish they are going to have a humiliating and messy situation on their hands, not fair eh?
    Respect that they dont think they have a higher right to go to the loo first they just might need it more, and if they dont get there in time for any reason the consequences are alot harder for them to deal with. If you get what im saying?
    Just leave it free incase eh? I know i couldnt handle the guilt if they had to suffer because of me.

    • The picture tells people that there are grab bars inside. That's all. It doesn't reserve the stall for anyone.
