Well, here you
go. Another opportunity to get your guilt on.
Dear Lauren
Berglund,
I very much
appreciate your training of guide dogs to serve as service animals. I know it
takes a lot of time and patience and self-sacrifice and for those who need such
service animals; folks like you are a Godsend. However, please do not now
chide readers about using any public waste-elimination seat. A few facts:
One: Nowhere does the law say that only able-bodied must wait
their turn in line. Which brings us to...
Two: As I have a brain with a long memory for details that do not
matter in the whole scheme of things (it is a curse, trust me), I can tell you
that in all my years of using public restrooms, I've never once seen a person
who is qualified by law to use the big stall having to wait her turn as
everybody moves out of her way. I have been in quite a few states and both
large cities and small towns. Most folks have awesome manners in this most
basic of human functions.
Babies learning to
"hold it in" always get to go to the top of the line. Old folks and
anyone with a cane or walker who are huffing and puffing and have trouble standing
are next to be bumped to the fore.
Three: The law says accessible to, not "only used
by."
Therefore your
post, while I am sure is well-intentioned what with your heart being in the
right place and all, is just another way to make the P.C. Whipped feel guilty.
In other words, you've hit upon writing about a problem that is a not a problem;
therefore, you've wasted my time and, since time is money, you owe me some
money. I believe you have fallen into the trap of seeing nails everywhere
because you only know about hammers.
Anyway, since I am
not P.C. Whipped, and since I have not committed a crime nor deprived anyone of
their opportunity to eliminate bodily waste in a timely fashion, I am not
feeling guilty...only aggravated that I fell for reading your article because
it started out as if it would be different.
Sincerely,
An Example of the
many Random but Nice People Who are Tired of Being Chided as if They are Total
Hate-Mongering Idiots
