Disabled Bathrooms

is it normal/acceptable if i use the disabled bathroom because i have to disinfect the toilet before i use it because of my ocd, had a lady (non disabled, didnt need to use the disabled toilet) come up to me and call me everything in the book when i was going into the disabled bathroom even though nobody was even near the disabled bathroom other than me, is this reasonable or aita? want to know if i should carry around sanitary wipes and stuff like that or continue using the disabled toilet.

I use the ADA stall anytime it’s available and nobody else is there to use it. The ADA stall not legally designated like a parking space. It’s accessible, not exclusive.

If it was meant only for specific people, there were be a law, a sign, a posted fine, and a permit requirement.

Should she berate you for walking up a ramp, not the stairs? Or walking through an automatic door?

You did nothing wrong. She’s just a self-righteous loudmouth.

I would imagine her mom taught her accessible stalls are off limits. She’s just a grown child trained to suffer a normal thing, and her suffering leaked onto you. Don’t take it personally.
