【英语时差8，16】上厕所能使用残障隔间吗

 Dear Annie:

I have a question regarding the etiquette¹ of using handicapped stalls in public restrooms. Are they to be used only by the handicapped, or is it OK for others to utilize² them if there are no handicapped persons in the restroom?

I often see obviously able-bodied people coming out of the handicapped stalls, even when other stalls are unoccupied. (Obviously, their larger size makes them easier to use.)I was in a restaurant recently, and when I entered the restroom, all the regular stalls were occupied. There wasn't anyone waiting to use that particular stall, so I went in because I really needed to go. I was only inside for a couple of minutes when a woman in a wheelchair was brought in by her husband. As I exited the stall, she muttered, "Oh, there she comes now, and she isn't even handicapped." Was I wrong to use that stall? － K.T.

Dear K.T.:
