i have develped quite an intrest in in disabled loos.

not cos i enjoy spending half an hour in their while i search for the loo roll but because of how inaccessible they actaully are.

i have a radar key so i can use any of the loos that have the radar lock without having to put my hand up and ask permission fomr the coffee shop manager to go to the toilet.

heres a list of the tings that really get me ticked off in the wonderful world of accessible peeing.

1)biggest one--why do they feel the need to tie the emrgancy chord up to the cieling.?
if my bendy hip has falling down the loo and im laid on my back on the floor... i know im more stretchy than most but come on...how on earth is it an emeracgy 'im laid on the floor with me pants round me anckles and could do with some help please' alarm wen its 4inches from the cieling?
they more bothered about people thinking its a light switch and pulling it.!

2)baby changing grrrr. another one that really anoys me. yes have baby changing facilities in the loo for disabled parents but dont stick the main baby table in the disabled loo. im not being akward but disabled loos arent just for wheel chair users. alot of people with incontincen problems, people with illieostomy or colostomy bags, people with conditions that make them throw up , they all need quick access to a loo hence the disbaled loo that rarerly has a queue so they can get straight in and not end up with some bodyily feature all over themselves. theres nothign mroe demoralising than wetting yourself in public.
so while mrs normie smith is cooeing at her baby on the changing mat, using the loo while shes in there and then having her mate whe went in wtih them users the loo us lot are siting crossed legged outside for 20mins. some people can nip to the normal loo if they really have to in these circumstance but not everyone can.
if your a wheelie then you have no choice but weight. if your a blindy with a guide dog prety much same thing cos its very difficult getting a dog in a normal loo cubicle. for me i could use the normal loo but i woudldnt be able to get back up off the loo. i need grab rails. so leave the disabled loos for the disabled people

3)loos as storage. the amont of disabled loos iv found at the back of the pub after manovering around the beer kegs is amazing. you get in there and once i even had to shift some boxes to get to the loo!
wonder how the manager would feel if we filled his bathrrom at home with wheelchairs that takes him 20mins to untangle and shift so he can get to his loo.

4)hide the loo roll game. yep you know who you are. you nip in to use the disabled loo and stick the toilet roll on top of the tank bhind your head. while this is a safe place as noones gonna trip over it and it stays dry. if your blind and you reach out to the side and feel about, it takes a very long time to get to feeling behind your head. also if you have back problems of mobility problmes, joint problems in the upper body etc your prob not able to move in a way where you could reach the loo roll.
the obvsious thing is to say 'well look for the loo roll before you sit down' something i now do as often as i remember but sometimes its not till your sat on the thing do you realise you dont know where the paper is.

5)normies. yep again you know who you are. iv no issues with normies using the disabled loos but please make sure they are clean when you leave. dont mess them up, dont pee on the seat etc. this is especially impartant for visually impaired people. we cant see if theres pee or worse on the seat or on the floor. it too late once you sat down of your dropped your coat on the puddle on the floor. visually impaired peoplae have to be more on top of hygeine becuase we cant see if theres stuff on our clotes or much on our hands etc if we cant feel it or smell it then it can get other places and this is obviously not very nice. so if you play jump the queue and use the spazzy loo, make sure you clean up any mess please thanks.

i better stop now before i start to look obsesive
