OP was last on this board 12 days ago, BTW...probably won't ever return to this thread.

HOWEVER, IF I did manage to miss seeing a stall which hasn't happened yet, I would hope that someone would be nice enough to go to the 1st person in line & point & say, "There's one there" rather than just go on in yourself. I mean come on OP, you obviously know people aren't just standing in line for the heck of it. So, it's little differences like that that make certain people not as kind as others and God rewards kinder people. Cutting corners one's whole life, seeing what you can get away w/, acting entitled, etc. isn't really a high-caliber person...that's being a smart @s$.
I know God's blessed me in many ways throughout my life!
RE: handicapped stalls, if no one around me is handicapped, I'll go ahead & use it.

Absolutely 200% right, Mr_Geek! It's the bigger picture & the OP is showing what kind of a #$!&^* character she has...(you fill it in w/ whatever). A person isn't going to just do 1 rude thing, but be a kind soul all other times UNLESS they think it benefits them somehow. It's like what I said above (post #62).
People like the OP are entitled narcissists & narcissists feel it's ALWAYS:
- about them
- they don't have to follow the rules like everyone else
- it's always someone else's fault (everyone else is too dumb, slow, not as talented, etc.)
People like the OP obviously have no sincerity, kindness, compassion, warmth, modesty, humbleness, AND the TON of other POSITIVE qualities we hope mankind to have.
ALL the members of my fiance's family are the same type of B@$tArd$ too, which is why he's through w/ them. I couldn't stand them since I 1st met them on day 1.

It never even crossed my mind to go in front of a line that is waiting to peer under the doors - I would think the next person waiting is already in need and had done that (well.. not peer under the door but determine whether that stall was usable).
Why would you think that? I usually wait a bit, and after a while realize there's a problem, so I look. If I knew the person at the front of line had looked (I am watching) then there would be no need for me to look.
I only look if I know the people at the front have not looked. They've just been standing there, assuming they know everything, therefore, no reason to verify.
If I saw you go past me to a stall that was empty, but the person at the front of the line was not paying attention, I'd most likely follow your lead and go around the sheep.
If there is a place with a mens room with no line, and a long line at the women's door, I'll go check the men's door and if it's a one-seater and no guys waiting, I'll just go in the men's door.
I'm much more assertive in my old age. And my bladder is, too.

I would simply make a general announcement toward the front, “hey I think the end stall is emptyâ€. Half the time they know but the toilets clogged with poo or something.
It happened again today, and I argue with myself over it.
I'm in line at a venue, usually an entertainment venue, and there's a line leading out the door of the womens' restroom. I walk past everyone in line, and glance at the floor of every stall. Often, there is an empty stall that is being ignored. No one ever comes out of it, so no one ever goes in to it. So I do.
I want to turn to the woman at the front of the line and yell at her " You'r making all these women wait because you're too <bleep>stupid to check for an empty stall? All you can do is wait like some sheep for someone to come out, before you go in?"
But of course I don't, I prepare a response for an outraged accusation (which never comes) of "I assumed no one wanted it so I took it".
I first noticed this at a huge 4th of July fireworks event. The line for the 30 or so port-a-potties was at least 40 minutes. After about 10 minutes of waiting, I walked up to the semi-circle of port-a-potties, and noticed one was empty so I opened the door and waved the woman at the head of the line in, and walked until I found another empty port-a-potty and waved the next person in, for about 4 or 5. I wasn't even half-way through, I just thought "screw 'em. If they are so brain-dead they can't check, even after I've clearly shown that probably a third of the port-a-potties are empty, they deserve to stand wait in line."
I can't figure out this extreme hostility I have to people who refuse to take any initiative, and prefer to stand aruond like sheep, but there it is. Take a deep breath and let it go.
But I'd like to hear feedback from women - how would you feel if you're standing in line, and someone walks right past you, finds an empty stall and takes it? I'm not talking about someone taking a stall that the first person in line is heading for, I'm talking about a stall that no one will take because no one ever comes out of it. The people in line only go to stalls when someone comes out, and the empty stall is ignored by eeyone except me. I've just done everyone a favor, because they have one more stall than they did before.
Actually, the other reason I've done everyone a favor is that perhaps, maybe, someone else might take the hint, and check to see if there are maybe more ignored stalls!
I can't imagine getting so worked up about public rest room line etiquette.

I don't know about other people but when I do it, it's to stress a point, agree w/ someone, or clarify what someone failed to understand initially w/ what I said.

I didn't read what you wrote the first time around or when you reposted it.
It didn't seem interesting.
But I noticed "narcissistic" because it was in bold print and I thought it was funny because only a narcissist would use their own posts as an example.
