Four Leaf Clover Restaurant

When: Mar 2011
Where: on Rte 5, Bernardston, MA
Okay... can anyone tell me what makes a toilet seat crooked? No, really.... what has to be placed on this seat to shift it so far off kilter? Since I 'squat' to pee (no, I am NOT putting toilet paper on the seat lid for this one, thank you very much!), I was hoping I aimed it in the right direction. I was actually tipping to the left, trying to imitate the position of the lid. Very awkward.

And this large buzzer was directly in front of me as I was doing the 'whizz' thing (peeing). Let me tell you, I was 6'-8' from the door. Did they really think I'm gonna press that thing from the toilet? The door was automatic, so what if I leaned on it accidently as I was turning around to pull up my pants!!???? Whoops! "HELL-O!".... "Excuse me". And to be perfectly honest, I noticed that even if I WAS in a wheelchair, to get to this bathroom, I walked up two steps right outside the door. No ramp..... duh!
What were they thinking....?

Outlet Central in VT

When: Mar 4th, 2011
Where: This is the first exit off Rte 91 north going into VT

Do not adjust your monitor!
Yes, this is truly the color of the bathrooms!! I had to surpress my initial reaction, because there was another person in the first stall and I could see feet!...This is the brightest lime green I've ever seen. I didn't know they could make this color without going blind!
This made me think (immediately) of a woman's dressing room in the stores. Though I think they made two bathroom stalls out of each dressing room, as you can see in the next photo.

These are very narrow and the aisle going to them is narrow.
When I took this photo, I was laughing. As much as I am not a really big person, my elbows are touching each side of the stall walls!!! When I 'stooped' (more of a squat!, believe me, I'm not sitting down!!), my head was resting against the door...

so there really wasn't any reason to have tried putting three locks on the door, unless it was to keep me from falling out! Really... did they finally figure out that one was enough?

And do they really think I'm gonna 'touch' stuff and 'Pull Handle forward"???? I think not!
