      Oh my god I'm GROSS!
      Why didn't any of you TELL ME?

      It's not that we're gross, it's that we're contagious! Careful, if they don't clean the room well enough you might wake up bipolar with fibromyalgia! Or even worse, as a c-6 paraplegic with a general anxiety disorder!

      . . . If they have a caretaker, I can do an ADA-comp to give them a second free room. . . .
      Thank you for sharing this information. I don't often travel, but when I do it's with my husband & children. There's no way we'd all fit in a room with only a double bed, so knowing that this option is there is helpful. I've never encountered this new room setup yet, but knowing that it could happen will make it easier to deal with if I do find this layout. Thank you!

        Heh heh. Sometimes I wish I was contagious. Then idiot people would stfu already. And they can deal with barely being able to stand or walk for any amount of time, and panic attacks, and not being able to call people on the phone, and getting sick every time they eat, and...I have a lot of random disorders lol.

          LMAO Ses: Cause you're a nice person? Nice people aren't gross. Bitchy people are. *nods*
          Thank you. That's sweet.

          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            And if the handicap stall is the only one available in the restroom, surely she just shits her pants, because I'd hate for her to be a hypocrite or anything.

              We had the Cadillac of handicap stalls at our community college. In one of the buildings, not only was it bigger, but it had its OWN sink, vanity, and mirror! You could move into that thing, I swear! I found it probably more awesome and amusing than a sane person should have.

                Too bad "stupid" and "bitchy" don't qualify as handicaps...

                Who doesn't want more room? And who doesn't know that handicaps aren't contagious?! Some folks are just amazingly stupid.

                  Oh, I love those things! They have one at one of the stores in the mall in Denver. It's delightful. I wish they had those in the mall here. Or at school. That would be nice.

                    The handicapped stores in our Mall-Mart come with a plastic seat to put your toddler and lots of space for turning around in.

                    Nowhere near as nice as the Aslan-Mart (figure that one out!) where it usually has its own sink and faucet.

                      I get that a lot. However some regulars have worked out that the extra room is a good thing but try explaining that to a guest. If they say when they book that they don't want one of those rooms then fine, I'll pre-allocate them (no one's really pre-allocated in my hotel unless you're a tour or stag group).

                      We also comp caretakers rooms, I know it's company policy (and I know from reading the emails you do not want to be the hotel that doesn't do it) but I have no idea what the UK law is regarding this.

                        Our awesome front desk supervisor charged her anyway as she paid cash and we weren't about to refund her money for that stupidity.
                        Sooo...she wants a refund because she got an arguably nicer room for the same price, and because she happens to be juuuuuuuuuuust the slightest bit predjudiced.

                        Hmmmmmmmm. Lemme think about thi-No. Hell no. You can either keep this room and like it, or we can charge you the exact same rate for the laundry room. Your choice.

                            You're right...I should have realized when people fled screaming from my presence, or when the SWAT team was called just because I went to the grocery store...I should have known that my evil handicap germs were swarming over everything I touched or passed by...but...I just didn't want to BELIEVE!

                                The handicap stall in one of the women's washrooms here is really nice. (Second building on campus, I suspect it was built and then went "shit, we have women here too, the support staff need bathrooms". As you may have guessed from this, it was built back when they used to have lounges in the women's washrooms. I'm not sure if the lounge used to be there on that floor, but in the same location, floor above, there is the (now locked) lounge. It's also very nice to have access to for times when you have a burning desire for a private washroom. (I had issues learning how to use my cup. And I'd have been aware if there were women with physical handicaps in engineering.
