In my town, in the newer buildings, they no longer have large bathrooms with multiple stalls. They have several small bathrooms, each with only one stall, and all of them are chair-accessible. So that kind of sidesteps the issue.
… ISWYDT …
It is certainly illegal to use a marked handicapped parking space unless you qualify. But not the stall. It is rude to use it- unless it’s the last one.
I hope they are also any gender.
I wish I had been that clever.
Come to think of it, many of them are.
I stand corrected. That is quite a list of U.S. superheroes. Some great names too! Master Legend. Mr. Xtreme. Crimson Fist (and his wife, Metadata). Dragonheart. Zen Blade. The Viper.
And some not so good superhero names… Captain Sticky. Captain Oyster. Shadow Hare (oysters and bunnies are not really animals that strike fear in anybody). Squeegeeman-- “fights grime and crime”.

Oh! That happened to me one time. It was a 3 stall bathroom in a bar, one of which was a handicapped stall. The other two were occupado. so I used it. I came out of the stall and was mortified to find a lady in a wheelchair “catching” me using the handicapped stall. I apologized, but she just laughed it off.
There’s nothing wrong with using it. It is not for the exclusive use of handicapped people, like the parking spaces.
You know, I’ve never been in a professional or casual setting where someone in authority prompted everyone to quiet down by bellowing " SILENCE!!!" at them.
Or when said someone commands “SEIZE HIM!” to anyone who doesn’t.
Has anyone ever said “You are either very brave … or very foolish” in real life?
My boss really should say that to me from time to time.
Speaking of which
The library where any sound above a whisper gets a loud SSSSSSHHH from the resident librarian.
Every library I’ve ever been to school, public and university quietness was encouraged but not exactly enforced.
Oh, you obviously never been in my high school library! I remember one time she SHUSHED! the shit out of us.
In the movies or TV just having a weather vane is asking for trouble. And if that creaky old rooster barn weather vane moves just a fraction (as it eventually will every time there is a movie/TV building featuring a noticeable weather vane) you best get your ass into the storm cellar right now because the town is about to get flattened.
There’s always a framed B&W studio portrait of the victim/suspect/cheating husband/asshole boss/obnoxious prick on prominent display on a coffee table inside his home. He’s hunched over in three-quarters view and staring up at you with a creepy half-smile on his face.
Would you keep a photo like this in your place?
I nominate Simo Häyhä, Finnish sniper in the Winter War between Finland and Russia, a.k.a. “The White Death”. Alright, he wasn’t fighting crime, he was fighting an invasion of his country, but hey, Captain America started out with fighting WWII.
Dude was certainly dedicated to killing the enemy, definitely one of the best snipers of all time if not the best, with a kill count deep into the hundreds.
While at work dressed in all white winter camouflage, which made him near-invisible in the Finnish winter.
Didn’t have fancy gadgets - most of his sniping was done with iron sights - but he sure had an ability to hit the target that was far above average.
No secret identity, but as you say, that’s optional.
It depends if they are Live Streaming at the time or not.
antimaterial? … or a regular one?
Anyone ever been in a room with an authority figure and others when someone(s) unexpectedly burst into the room in a chaotic fashion and the authority figure asks loudly “WHAT is the meaning of this?”
Not me.
