The old guy was out of line. There is one stall equipped with extra
accessories for the handicapped, but it is not for their exclusive use. Good
manners would dictate that if there were another stall available you should
save that one for the handicapped, but if they are all occupied or out of
order, by all means use it.
You could always have doubled over in pain and rush back in telling him you
