Making the world a better place through restrooms
Lord, please make all the the doors to all the restrooms openable….
This may sound like a pervy request but my biggest pet peeve since becoming disabled is inaccessible washrooms. There are 6 kinds of shitty bathrooms – I’m not talking literally.
The extremely heavy door without a push button opener.
These doors are so heavy that even ablebodied people have a hard time opening them. Never mind someone who is trying to negotiate the door, with a walker/ rollator/ baby carriage and an urgent “need to go”.
These doors are everywhere, often in public spaces like community centres, subway stations and malls. They rarely have push button openers or they are often broken. Probably because the doors are so heavy…
So why are there so many of these shitty doors on shitty bathrooms?
If anyone has insight, please be in touch.
