Able-bodied Man 'Likes to Use That One Disabled Cubicle When No One Else in Restroom'

INDIANAPOLIS - Though he is able bodied and doesn't require any additional day-to-day assistance in the least, Indiana man Grant Mandhausen says he is prone to occasionally using his workplace's disabled toilet cubicle when no one else is around.


"I know I shouldn't be using it, 
but then, perhaps that's part of 
the thrill." - Grant Mandhausen, 38.

Citing the superior size of the far-end stall, with its convenient hand railing offering easier maneuverability, the 38-year-old financial services adviser insists that he usually takes a quick peak around to make sure no one followed him into the restroom before quietly locking the cubical door behind him.

"I'm not going to lie," said Mandhausen Wednesday, "the disabled stall is pretty fucking neat. There's enough room to put your stuff down beside you, the smell is somehow better and, what can I say? Nothing feels better than stretching out your legs while taking care of business."

Though, by his own admission, he does not utilize the disabled stall on each visit to the restroom, Mandhausen states that after a good two hour client-conferencing session it always feels nice to retire to the 6-by-5 foot booth and just "let one go."

"I know I shouldn't be using it," he continued, "but then, perhaps that's part of the thrill. The fear of getting caught or the rush of knowing that, at any moment, a wheelchair user might enter the rest room."

In an effort to avoid potential embarrassment upon leaving what he affectionately refers to as "the chamber", Mandhausen typically heads promptly to the sink area, without giving other restroom users time to put two and two together.
