The weirdest question you'll ever hear. Made Mrs. V. howl with laughter.
Those who work outside the home:

If the bathroom at your workplace has more than one stall, do you have a favorite stall?

23. I agree--I hate the "regular" stalls--they're too damn small.
I don't like it when someone's using my stall! ;(

2. Yes I do!
I feel contempt if someone is using it when I have to go take a nap...

4. able-bodied people using the handicapped stalls while other stalls are empty are douchetards

edited for clarity. I didn't think I'd have to make it so clear, but whatever

5. No one on my floor is in a wheelchair, on crutches, has a problem
walking, or has a problem moving around -- and no one is bigger than me, FTR.

Convince me I'm a douchetard. ;)

9. It's perfectly OK in my book for an able-bodied person to use the
handicapped stall if they are not preventing a handicapped person from using it. I saw a line of about 25 women in a restroom avoiding the handicapped stall like the plague, and I asked if anyone needed to use it. No one did, so I did. A whole beeline of women behind me used it too. All of us would gladly have waited if there were indeed someone with mobility impairment that needed the stall.

7. Two stalls, one occupied, handicapped stall unoccupied
Should I wait for the idiot reading the newspaper in the occupied stall, or should I use the handicapped stall? I'll use the handicapped stall, thank you very much.

14. There aren't any handicapped women at my office. So, what, on the off chance that
someone with a handicap happens to be visiting my office and just happens to need to use the same bathroom at the same time I'm using it, I'm supposed to not use it?

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous.

24. Sometimes I push the handicapped people out of the way, just the use the handicap stall.

Its evolution. Its bathroom natural selection. If they want the stall, they have to get past my able-bodied Hurrican punch and piercing palm strike.

I don't use them in public places but here in our office, there is nobody who actually needs it so it's all MINE MINE MINE!

8. You would be surprised at how many other people claim it's theirs.
Hmmm, timeshare bathroom stalls. I could make millions!

10. Yes.
I use the handicapped stall because of my rather rubenesque body habitus. Those inward swinging doors on the teeny stalls are awkward. I should note that the loo that I use is at the end of the building where the public rarely ventures, so it is very unlikely anyone disabled would venture in there, so that absolves me of douchebag status as cited downthread.

11. The cleanest one, which is often asking for too much in the men's room.
In related news, a few days ago I encountered a guy text messaging at the urinal... at least I hope he was text messaging and not sending a picture of his little friend to someone.

13. I go to the bathroom with only one stall
People simply have no home training if they come in and sit "next" to you or at all if you are already there.

16. The stupidest question I ever asked
Mrs. Kentish Man was this: What's the opposite of a banana?

Without batting an eye or looking up from her book, she said "A lime"

I think that's one of the funniest moments of our marriage :+

21. Two responses...
(a) So that's what that smell was.

(b) Trust me, if you marked it, you won't need to defend it.

Pick whichever one amuses you more.

:)
