I too nearly had an Ally McBeal moment. Mine was in a PA Turnpike service plaza when I wasn’t paying attention and headed toward the first open door I noticed. I stopped in the doorway to look for the urinals and didn’t see any. Took me a moment or two to gather my wits and figure out that this place wouldn not be emulating Ally. Also, as a somewhat claustrophobic fat guy, I prefer the handicapped stall at work. There is only one other stall and it’s just a little too narrow for me to be comfortable. Plus I like the higher seat in the handicapped stall. The last time we had someone who really needed to use the handicapped stall was when one of my coworkers was on crutches because of a pulled achilles tendon. ---

The toilet is up too high, and every time I go to wipe (I do it standing up) some guy walks in on me. \*\* > > You wipe standing up?? I can’t picture how this would work… especially since the …err… well your butt cheeks push together when you are standing… \*\* Actually, I only stand and wipe in doorles public tolets so I can see the looks on people’s faces as they walk by. Most other times I wipe sitting down. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/toilet-stalls/95142.md?page=2)
