Also, if you’re not going to flush because you can not reach the wand with your foot, at least push the protective layer/seat cushion into the bowl. (You better use the protective layer!)

@brad – Incredible call on the soft cough to announce your presence. Not doing that could be tragic.

@nick – I heard somewhere that handicap stalls are also to be treated as luxury stalls. It changed my perspective on the whole issue. Now instead of feeling guilty, I feel lucky and dignified.

1. If there are more than two stalls, do not go into one right beside someone else if you can leave a vacant stall between. Seven stalls and you have to sit in the one right next to me and leave five vacant on the other side???

2. Do not give a sigh of relief when you relieve yourself.

3. At least try to hide the gas noise or I WILL laugh, and that makes me feel as if I’m in jr. high.

4. Get off your cell phone in the bathroom!!!

Soft cough or shoe squeak to announce presence to others.

Even if you don’t wash hands in the bathroom (which as mentioned, is really on required b/c of peer pressure) make sure you shake your hands vigorously as you exit the bathroom, as to give the image to any onlookers that you ‘ahem” of course washed your hands and they are still wet. Camo-shake.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is that disabled toilets usually cleaner due to being used less, and (if not already engaged) are your for the taking in the name of equal rights. Just remember to do a quick scan of the general area and make sure there is no electric wheelchairs coming in your direction-nothing is more embarrassing exiting a disabled toilet you have been occupying for a while only to be booed by a line of people who can’t use the normal toilet.
