To be annoyed at this older man

[PaulaJane37]

I'm probably BU and prepared for being told so but I'm really annoyed!

I'm on holiday at the moment and I suffer from IBS, I don't go for a week to 2 weeks but when I need to go I NEED to go. So yesterday I was at the pool and the familiar pains started, I moved swiftly into the hotel foyer, and there is one male and one female toilet, an older man (very rotund with a walking stick) and his wife were sitting with cases obviously waiting to be picked up, the wife kinda trotted/ran in front of me and got into the ladies before me, now I had three options.

1. Use the men's
2. Use the disabled toilet
3. Wait and shit myself (sorry)

I used the disabled, I know I'm not disabled, but it is a unisex toilet and I knew I'd be in and out in about 20 seconds flat and only the man was left in the foyer and I thought that would be better than going into the male toilet. Well as I sat down, the door handle got rattled and the door was quite obviously kicked a couple of times, I got a hell of a fright and was a little scared to come out, but still was out in about two minutes flat to find the man standing at the reception complaining that "that woman does not have a blue badge!"
Now, I'm not even sure that the poor Spanish receptionists knew what a blue badge was but he was going mental!! I walked away quite upset actually and almost went back in to tell him in.no uncertain terms that not all disabilities are visible! I only didn't because I knew I'm not disabled and would have felt bad for insinuating that I was!!

AIBU to be annoyed with the rotund rabble rouser?

World is so boring when we can never comment on how someone looks.

"His age, well I kinda thought he may just be a grumpy old man"

From an earlier post by the OP...........

If you thought he'd have to use the disabled loo because he couldn't fit into the normal one (how big was he??) why are you annoyed at him calling you on making him wait when your disability isn't obvious?
I doubt he kicked the door either. Probably tapped on it with his stick

These corpulent types of a riper vintage usually do have a chip on their shoulder. Which they then proceed to eat. With pie, peas, gravy and eight slices of white Warbutons toastie bread. Followed by sixteen doughnuts and twelve pints of ale.

I have IBS. It doesn't crop up as often as it used to because one of the medical conditions I have which was causing it is under better control now. It can still happen though, and I have certainly had cause to use the disabled toilet when waiting for the regular ladies ones would have caused me to crap myself.

Surely blue badges are to allow use of disabled car parking spaces. Nothing to do with toilets.

I have no issues with the way OP described the man. Rotund isn't offensive as a word. As for describing him as a grumpy old man, well why not? He was.

Blue badges are to do with parking spaces. I have no idea what this guy was on about. You need the higher rate of DLA mobility to get one, and ability to walk has nothing to do with whether or not you would need a toilet more urgently, or if you would need a bigger toilet than another person.

Hakluyt, because there aren't any grumpy old men are there? Just men? Not old nor young? You can't describe a person by using there age? There are grumpy young men, middle aged men and teenage men. My grandad was a grumpy old man. He lived with is for 26 years and he loved grumping, my df is now 66 and he is the epitome of grumpiness and revels in it as he says it's his right, and whatever your age you can be grumpy if you fecking feel like it! My DP proudly states at 43 he is a grumpy old bugger. I'm now home, and have just read all of these, and thank you to all of you who saw that I wasn't trying to be sizeist (oops sp) or ageist, I was just making a toilet point about a man who was older than me, who was grumpy, who, when I came out of the toilet I realised he was ROTUND, what an offensive word, and could not have possibly fit in the cubicle comfortably (and until I heard his diatribe and realising he was the door kicker) made me feel bad for using said toilet. And for the "he hit it with his stick" brigade, the toilet door wouldn't move when being "tapped" or "hit" by a walking stick, but the door would move at the bottom only if it was kicked! ( I have a bit of experience in door kicking! ) And now after yesterday's events of him getting the attention of the waitress (from the restaurant) walking by the pool bar by holding out his walking stick in front of her to stop her walking past as there was no staff at the pool bar, I feel entirely happy regarding my description of this man! Thanks guys! My second ever post I got flamed by... Well not quite sure how to "stereotype" them, but vindicated by people who actually realised I typed in speech that we would actually ALL probably say when wording an incident verbally !!!
