Accessible toilets all over the UK have had to put variations of this sort of thing up because some people lose their poo poo over someone using an accessible toilet who isn’t missing a leg or something.

People are so goddamn petty it’s amazing.

Yeah, this isn't weird, there's a lot of disabilities that don't need wheelchairs or movement aids, and there have been a lot of reported instances of people with the UK's blue badges, allowing them to park in disabled spaces, being abused because they're not visibly disabled. There's so many disabilities that aren't immediately visible.

On the other hand, obesity, fibromyalgia, or myopia shouldn't qualify an individual for a handicapped parking space. Maybe let's reserve those for people who are actually physically handicapped

Yeah you know there’s a lot of piece of poo poo cops out in California who go to the dmv and get a placard because they slouch over and move a hand in and out erratically as they lurch forward, and the way the law is if you look physically disabled they give you a placard without a doctors visit. Most disabled people who don’t have a wheelchair or walking aid don’t immediately present as disabled, but you got these guys that really ham it up. Like there’s some physical disabilities like multiple sclerosis that make you talk weird, but these people are so loving stupid that they equate being retarded with a physical handicap in the general sense. They slur their speech, lurch at people like some kind of loving zombie out of Michael Jackson’s thriller, seem to have little to no cognition or their immediate environment, and they pull this bullshit act that all disabled people are some sort of shifty feculant ugly scumbag with horrible clothes and zero social graces. Basically a loving animal that grunts and snarls and is a horrible and cumbersome burden to everyone and everything around them. And the thing is that most people get along without people noticing a physical disability. My mom has cp and has like p much no practical usage of her left hand and her leg is p lovely too, but she doesn’t use any devices and people don’t know she’s disabled unless you tell them. Because disabled people don’t make a big loving thing about being disabled. It’s not the most prominent or presented thing about them. But you see these lovely undercover cops or intelligence assholes who are just the most hateful, prejudiced people in the world, literally faking a handicap and making it the most prominent thing about them, in fact the only thing they present to society. They literally steal handicapped spots from people, like strategically. They park like they can’t get a loving car between two lines, and then drive 10 miles an hour under the goddamn speed limit like their car is somehow handicapped too. And they deliberately associate having mental illness and stupidity and carelessness with having a physical disability. It’s like blackface. And it’s drawing the conclusion that if you got something wrong with your body that you are just a general piece of poo poo in all aspects of life. Anyways these people would just probably throw all the crippleds in an oven if they didn’t have poo poo like society and 99 % of the people in the world getting in their way.

Yeah I have a couple family members who need the disability parking spaces and I have gotten all sorts of nasty looks people see me and not the rest of my family. Not looking forward to getting keyed eventually.

No you just need a swat team guarding every toilet 24/7. If they catch someone trying to sneak into the stall they can rough them up and give them a swirlie.
