Today, I really had to pee so I took the only stall that was available in the bathroom: the handicapped stall. A girl in a wheelchair came in seconds later and cursed at me for taking her designated spot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was using the bathroom at Costco when a janitor forced my door open so she could mop, then didn't bother to close it again. Apparently, the handicapped stall was too big for her to see me sitting in the corner, and I had to awkwardly squat-walk all the way to the door to close it. FML
Today, I was waiting in line to use the bathroom. I complained to the guy next to me about how long the lady was taking. I kept making jokes about it, but he never seemed to laugh. Finally, the door opened and out came a lady in a wheelchair. The guy next to me was her husband. FML
Today, I decided to use the disabled toilet in work to get a little extra privacy while I did my business. The cleaners who unlocked the door from the outside and barged in on me were nice and waited until I finished to apologize and explain there were complaints the door had been locked for days. FML
Today, I had to use the restroom while at work. I had the choice of the stall with a broken lock, or the stall with a huge crack in the partition wall. Not two minutes after I sat down, I noticed someone peeking in. FML
Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML
Today, while in the restroom washing my hands, a girl decided to let one rip while in the stall. When she came out she gave me a dirty look of disgust and said, "At least wait until I leave." She and I were the only ones in the restroom. FML
Today, I was in a stall in a public restroom. Someone came in and started using one of the urinals. Somehow, before I knew it, I found I had just loudly whispered, "SOMEbody's taking a piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiss." FML
Today, I was so desperate to pee that I used the only bathroom in the convenience store I was in, which was “Employees Only.” Well, the door got stuck and I had to get an employee to let me out. FML
Today, I went out to a nice restaurant for my friend's birthday. I went to the bathroom and heard the woman in the other stall crying. She couldn't pull her underwear up over her obese, old-lady ass because her arms don't reach that far anymore. I was the only one there. I had no choice. FML
Today, I was using the restroom when a little girl tried to open my stall. It was locked, so she slid under the door and tried to have a conversation with me while I was pooping. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can understand her being upset if you're not handicapped. but he should just chill out if it was the only stall open what were you supposed to do?

The handicapped chick needs to calm the hell down. It's not like she personally owns the stall. She's not royalty and being handicapped doesn't mean she is above waiting her turn like anyone else. What a bitch. You should have cussed her out back.

as a disabled (handicapped is an offensive word) person- I agree with the person. go pee earlier next time. don't wait until the last minute. some of us with disabilities HAVE to go or it could hurt us. be more considerate next time and THINK!! And to those of you who will blast me, shut up!

If you have a disability where you cannot wait to use the toilet, then mention something. People are not mind readers. Unless you tell me that you need to use the handicapped stall right away, how am I supposed to know? Or you could take your own ridiculous advice and go pee earlier.

Since when has the word handicapped been offensive? If anything I would be MORE offended by being called disabled, since it implies that you're, ya know, 'not able.' And how the hell is OP being inconsiderate? If anyone was being inconsiderate it was the whiny bitch in the wheelchair who flipped her shit because she had to wait an extra 30 seconds to go to the bathroom.

I thought the current PC term was "handicapable", which makes me cringe.

Can't the "go pee earlier next time" argument work both ways, though? I'm genuinely trying to be empathetic and inoffensive here, since, as I said earlier, I've had mobility issues myself. So please don't get defensive; I'm trying to understand. I understand that certain disabilities can mess with your sensitivity and bladder control, and even if you can, holding it too long can be dangerous. In that case, though, perhaps it's best to be prepared alá incontinence products before going out into public. Pregnant women sometimes have to do that. Besides, if holding it is so dangerous, what would you do if the only accessible stall was out of order or being cleaned?

Here comes a sensible reply from a (non-handicapped) Texan. Everybody gets mad when you diss them, some just handle it differently. Generalizations drawn from ones ethnicity or origin create stereotypes, which are after all, based in truth. None the less, some people find these stereotypes offensive. I don't really care, I know it feels pretty good in Texas right now :)

This is so made up.. you saw the Curb your Enthusiasm commercial today which is exactly like what your story is about but with men instead.

Toilets are first come first serve. I wouldn't use the handicapped toilet if a handicapped person was waiting, you were first. Also handicapped is not offensive, not unless you are an idiot!

I see nothing wrong with what OP did. It'd be one thing if they were both in the bathroom waiting when the handicapped stall became available. In that case, OP should've let the other lady go first, since OP could take the next available one and the other lady could not. But OP couldn't know the lady would come in, and she was simply using the only available stall. OP wasn't just using that one because she wanted to stretch her legs out or something. IMO, this is a good example of the disabled (or minorities, or whatever) having equal rights vs. extra rights. Having equal rights would mean not waiting any longer than an able-bodied person would-- they'd both have to wait only as long as it takes for an accessible stall to become available. Having extra rights would mean never having to wait in any bathroom line, ever-- something an able-bodied woman would never experience, and something that isn't totally necessary.

handicapped stalls are designated handicapped accessible not handicap ONLY! their bladders aren't handicapped.

*facepalm* I can't even begin to address this one.

She doesn't get to skip the line at the grocery store just because she's in a wheelchair, so why should the bathroom line be any different? Her legs may work differently, but her bladder does not. Spin those wheels a little faster next time, bitch.
