Went for a meal today and needed the loo.
Women's toilets were out of order and a sign on the door saying to use the disabled facilities.
There was a lady in the disabled toilet so i queued, then behind me came a woman in a wheelchair and 2 more ladies that joined from reading the sign on the ladies door.
I asked the woman in the wheelchair if she wanted to queue ahead of me. She insisted that she didnt want to go in front and that she was using the wheelchair following minor leg surgery and was fine to wait her turn. I checked she was sure that this was ok and she said yes.
Lady comes out, i go in, pee, wash hands,come out and hold the door open for the next lady to go in.
As she shut the door the 2 women who were queing behind me cornered me and told me I was really selfish and "absolutely disgusting" for using the toilet before a person in a wheelchair. They heard me ask the woman but said I should have insisted and that I was a "creature".
I left and brushed it off, but since coming home its played on my mind a lot.. should i have really insisted or was my offer enough? Hmmm.
