Personally, I would not have made a comment to the person in the stall. Most likely I would have commented back if someone had said something about us using the stall. I understand some people like to use the HC stall, just because it is bigger-but then there are others that use it due to other medical needs.
I mean, let's face it; we can not see on the outside if somebody has a colostomy, urinostomy or whatever that requires them to use a HC stall due to a need to have a sink right in there with them. That's just one of the many possible things that could require a medical need for said stalls. Oh jolly, still a subject (wrongly!) surrounded with shame for many people. Enough probably will already worry about this in some degree and then they get an added bonus in the shape of a nasty comment or glare. And to be honest? If that was me, I would've made the "carry on comment" when I find others minding my business when it's none of their beeswax.
Companion bathrooms are another thing with the small amount of numbers they tend to be around, but an HC stall? Lines, nobody in sight that obviously needs it or states a need for it? Use it! While I greatly appreciate those already in line offering me that one large HC stall that just opened up as I drove into the bathroom, I wouldn't ever expect it. Let alone them keeping it open, just in case I might wonder in there. It's not a place to dillydally or do whole changing routines, adjusting make up or disciplining your child but as long as folks are just doing their business and are in and out? I would almost use Homers D'oh to show how logical that is in my pov.
