During the Xmas season I was shopping at the Grove in Los Angeles. I normally do not use public restrooms, for reasons that will be clear later, but I needed to use the one there badly, so I went in.
Needless to say, the late christmas shopping rush made the facilities crowded. As a handicapped individual, with a placard for my car and a bad knee, I went to the handicapped stall, and informed the individual inside who I was and my handicaped status, and asked him politely to hurry. His answer is unspeakable on this family site.in the course of arguing I nearly had an accident, luckily the stall next became available. I did my business with great difficulty, though I felt embarassed and disenfranchised.
My wife and I noticed the rude individual in the parking area and we were able to get his license plate no. I called the CA department of civil rights and told Linda Cooksey my story. She didn't seem to care about me or my plight, and seemed ignorant as to my rights as a handicap!
She'll be hearing from my lawyer.
