    They can use the other. An overactive bladder can be considered a disability. It's not like people are going to stop them and say "Hey! You don't look disabled to me!"

  • Actually, we have one at Fingal Beach in our shire.

    It has everything automated the moment you open and then close the door.

    The seat has a range of twelve settings to wash and dry you exactly where, when, and how you like it, with music.

    It's so popular that the aged care homes hire buses to transport twenty oldies at a time and they take turns to use it.

    Of course, the only problem is the lines waiting.

    No.  They'll just pee in your shoes.  That's what I do when I get blotto. :-)

  • Oh  yes, they do. I've seen it done. Unless one has a clearly visible disability, the staff turns them away. Obviously, who wants to clean up after "normal" persons?

  • I've seen toilet bowls with these buttons on the arm rest at a couple of airports, Tokyo for one.
