Handicap Washroom Stalls



Handicap washroom stalls are like the mansions of the public washroom world. It's like the penthouse suite of hotel rooms. You can practically do cartwheels in there. It's so spacious and luxurious.

One of these days, I will get caught using it when an actual handicap person needs and I will feel bad because it's sort of like parking in a handicap spot without the handicap permit.

The toilets in the handicap bathroom usually are higher than normal toilets so sometimes it makes me feel like I stumbled upon a giant's home and I'm using their facilities. It's like the toilet's made for a giant. I would daydream further thinking the giant might be upset if they discovered I'm using their giant toilet at their home without their permission. An upset giant is a scary giant. I wouldn't stand a chance. I would then apologize to the giant for using their giant toilet without its permission. This may incite anger and ill will from within the giant directed towards me. Knowing this, I would apologize and then explain to the giant that "I didn't think giants had feelings". This perhaps, may anger the giant further and he will then try to smash me with its hulk sized fists. I wouldn't fair well against giant hulk sized smashing fists at all.

This makes me glad that giants aren't real. I'd then realize what a wonderful adventure it is to use a handicap bathroom stall. The toilets are huge and so is the stall! It's like the toilet's made for a giant....oh how my mind wanders in the washroom.

Wiperblades


It's surprisingly difficult to find a decent picture of windshield wiperblades on Google.

It rains a lot where I live. I’m also in the car a lot. Often times, when it rains while I am in the car, I cannot help but notice the quiet tranquility the motion and sound that wiper blades make as they clear the windshield of rain.

One wiper passes the rain water over to the next wiper. Back and forth, back and forth it goes. The left wiper motions the water to the right wiper, and the right wiper nudges the water it gathers back to the left. One wiper picks up the liquid cargo that’s dropped off by the other.

The task at hands appears to be never ending yet the wipers work together in great unison. It’s a tireless effort working side by side in the days of precipitation. The two objects that in it by itself, is almost utterly lost, but when partnered together, becomes complete. Yet, despite the hard work during rain, there are always sunny days to look forward to. Isn’t that what a perfect partnership is all about?

It’s raining pretty hard right now and I definitely need a new wiper, but dammit the ones I want and fit my car are always sold out.
