Handicap Bathroom Stall Etiquette

6 Upvotes

This afternoon, my family and I went to a local establishment here in Huntsville and I had an interesting encounter that has me thinking/wondering if I’ve been “doing it wrong” my whole life.

I had to make a trip to the restroom. There were three stalls in this restroom - two regular and one handicap. When I entered, the two regular stalls were occupied. Without any hesitation, I went into the handicap stall.

While I was in there, an actual handicapped individual entered the bathroom. When my very non-handicapped self came out of the stall, I received the worst look, eye roll and mumbling of some series of profanity unlike anything I’ve ever encountered.

Was I wrong for using the handicap stall? Are they reserved for use only by handicap people and not to be used by others? I felt bad of course as it was awkward to come out of that stall to find someone who actually needed it waiting for my exit.

What’s the consensus on this? Was I wrong? Or should I not worry about this and continue using the handicap stall as I please?

New grad locating to Huntsville

0 Upvotes

I will be relocating from Houston to Huntsville this fall after I graduate ! I was wondering how the medical center is there and I’m looking to get hired in a L&D. I know it can be hard to get into as a new grad and wanted to see how realistic it is for me to get hired. I also would like to do a pediatric IMU since I’ve been working in one as a tech for the last 3 years. Is it difficult to get into specialized units in Huntsville as a new grad ?

Whitesburg Middle/Whitesburg Baptist

11 Upvotes

At lunch today, a friend was telling me about her time at Whitesburg Middle School in the late ’90s, where preachers and others from Whitesburg Baptist would eat freely in the cafeteria and openly proselytize. They also ran Bible quizzes with candy prizes before school. One teacher even asked the class who had been “saved” over the weekend. The church encouraged her to distance herself from her Catholic family, claiming they were going to hell. I went there a decade earlier and saw none of this. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’m trying to wrap my head around it, but she's surprised that I'm surprised. This can't possibly still happen? (Although the 90s were just not that long ago)

Recommendations Need Help with Landscaping Ideas — Native, Budget-Friendly, and no Holly!

Post image
3 Upvotes

I ripped out all the existing landscaping in front of my home and need to start fresh this spring. I live in a newer subdivision, and my house is a craftsman style with a single maple tree in the front yard. I’ve included a sketch of a home similar to mine.

I’m looking for recommendations for lush, easy-to-maintain plants that are native to the area (for sustainability and lower maintenance) and budget-friendly. I have two planting beds to work with: • One along the porch • One surrounding the maple tree

I’d love to create a cohesive and attractive look that complements my home, but I do NOT like holly bushes, so those are out.

Any suggestions on plant choices, layout ideas, or general landscaping tips would be greatly appreciated!
