Disabled bog - why not?

Why was it disabled? I'd much rather use one that was working properly.

That was exactly my rationale when I thought about it ... why shouldn’t a disabled person have to wait? (even an incontinent one).

I shall be purposely using disabled bogs all the time now!!

Its nicer in there anyway ... it doesn't smell as much ... plenty of room and you don't have to stand next to some strange bloke who seems incapable of abiding by the 'eyes front - head down discipline'!! ---- you must lock the door unless you want the whole world to see you at 'work' mind

Oh and whilst I am on this tack, why do ‘mother and child’ spots have to be in prime position in carparks? (usually next to disabled spots)???

That really piddles me off …

I mean WHY?

No it ain't. Why can fathers not use them with their child, or grand parents etc. sexist and ageist if you ask me

Ah... I see where you're coming from (said the actress to the Bishop).

I was commenting upon the gripe about the "prime location" rather than the sexist, ageist and legal-guardianist label.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify

Does anyone get annoyed when cars park in motorbike parking areas/spaces?

That is one thing that gets me, but more than that ... agreed its a good idea to have wider spots for people with prams etc ... rather that than have my car bashed buy a mum/dad with too few arms ... but why right outside the shop???? Can mothers not walk???

Parents often have two or more young kids with them and controlling them can be difficult even for the most well-behaved kids and most competant of parents.

Supermarket car-parks are dangerous places, drivers concentrating on looking for a space rather than looking for and anticipating hazards, especially those that they cannot see anyway, kids being of lower height than most cars.

Safest thing to do is minimise the chances of young children (who will not be aware of the dangers) coming into contact with moving vehicles, hence the location.

C'mon Blue, be honest...... you just don't like walking

You know the answer....... get reproducing I'm sure the gene-pool won't be damaged too much

Why?

What if, like the disabled loo thing that started this thread, all the bike spaces were full?

Er, what about parents that walk their kids to the shops? Would you have them a special pavement further away from the road?? Perhaps kid barriers???

If a parent wants more room to 'safely' do their thing, why don't they park way way out the back of the carparks ... you know the bit that is in the far back corner where noone goes as it is the furthest point from the shop ...

You never know the small walk might prevent their kids from becoming the phat fecks at 6yrs old that are all so common these days!! ... a bit of exercise might dispel some of that energy and quieten them down a bit too!!!

Or these parent areas put at the back of the carpark anyway where there is less natural 'flow'???

Bikes can park in any nook and cranny. There are bound to be cases of exception, but I do hate to see bikes in car spaces when they could so easily been put somewhere more considerate!!
