but it is also inconvenient for the so-called "normal" people to be standing and queuing up for a long time leh...esp if you have an urgent "business", then...

subarugal SG

i wouldn't use it..
coz i am trying to be considerate, i am not trying to pin point anyone.
Just my two cents worth of sharing..
I do have friend who is deficient in sight so jolly well understand.
Try standing in their shoe before we do anything thinking its only a short usage. Our short usage might be nothing to us, but to them its something very much inconviences.

So spare a thought for them, tks

rainee SG

but if no handicapped person in the restroom at that time? Still cant use?

crazy monkey SG

nothing wrong wat Laughing

Lance_han SG

i believe tis broils down to wad ppl define the handicapped toilet is for...

some tink of it as an convenience to help the handicapped answer the call of mother nature even so as your normal cubicle is quite cramped and veri restrictive hence they might tink tat is okie to use it when there's no handicapped around...

others tink of it as a necessity or it could out of consideration for the handicapped, hence they don really use the handicapped toilet and frown upon anyone not handicapped using..

neither tinking is really wrong...it all depends on the time... Cool

I suggest the sign on the handicapped toilet should be amended to read ‘male/female/’ and ‘Priority for disabled persons’. All should give way to disabled persons but if it is not in use, anyone can make use of it.

crazy monkey SG

today in newspaper again Laughing

dragg SG

i make it a point not to use anything reserved for the handicap.

lets say a handicap comes while you are shItting inside how?

isnt it the same as someone parking his car at a lot reserved for the handicapped?

arguments will arise once everyone starts using it.

rainee SG

but if nobody uses, I dun see any wrong with using it? Esp when there is no handicapped ppl around at that moment? Confused

mystiv SG

for me, I'll only use it when its real quick and super urgent. You never know when a handicapped person may appear..

dragg SG

thats the problem.

if everybody thinks that way a lot of people will be using it.

if and when a handicap turns up there will be arguments.

anyway the handicaps are concerned about people dirtying the toilets too.

you know how 'normal' people behaves.

sbst275 SG

It is only meant for the handicapped to use

Put it into their shoes

rainee SG

I mean, if they are not around ma...if a handicap turns up, then everyone shud give way to him...

rainee SG

but it is like having it empty all day...and then queue is so long for the other cubicles...like wasting resources leh...

oxford mushroom SG

I agree with rainee….that’s why I think it should be open to all sexes with priority for disabled persons.

NT2 SG

pay 1 dollar to use handicap cubicle if u r not handicap. free only for handicap ppl Mr. Green

coolger03 SG

i’ll use the toilet if there is a long q and there’s no handicapped ppl ard…. but will keep it clean lor…

dragg SG

seems like a lot of people agree.

Xiaxue lost 2 of her sponsors because of this. many wrote to her sponsors to pressure them to withdraw the support.

rainee SG

I dun really agree with what she said. And the way she expressed her view, will naturally pissed off some people. Cos she is like blaming the handicapped people for their disability when she said it is their fault that they cudnt close the door properly when they are using the toilet, etc...i agree with some of her points, but there are some of her words that irritate me too
