[@Positivekitten]

Hell yes. I used to live in New Orleans and my apartment building was right on the parade route for Mardi Gras. My significant other at the time and I went out of town for a few days on a road trip. We got back really late at night to find some douche bag in our reserved parking spot. It was Mardi Gras time so parking in that area is at an absolute premium, and since it was 2 AM, we had no way to find out whose car it was, we just called and had them towed. The next day we get confronted by douche bag who had let one of their friends park in our spot because “you weren’t using it“ I just told them to take it up with the property management company who I knew to be VERY strict about the use of parking spaces.

Years ago, I got out of the children's hospital to the university hospital for urology. there were two restrooms. One inside where the exams rooms were and one out in the hall. Neither of which were accessible. One time I was in a exam room with the door open. I had to watch a bf/husband act as a door for his gf/wife who was a wheelchair user so she could leave a culture for the doc. At the time I self cathed which takes a bit longer than just going. Especially when leaving a culture. Everytime I was in there the nurse would check on me multiple times. It was very embarrassing coming and having ppl staring at me knowing I took longer than usual because of her. I tried to explain to her the situation but she wouldn't stop. So one day I came in and the outside restroom now had a handicapped symbol on the outside wall, indicating it was now accessible so I asked if I could use it to leave a culture. They let me and I went in with my walker. I could not fit said walker into either of the two stalls. Meaning they had done nothing to make them accessible.they basically just stuck the plaque with the wheelchair symbol to the wall. I wish I had been the type of person back then to make some calls and find out who had supposedly done the "construction" to the restroom and made a complaint.

[@ericaschaidt8588]

Are you in the US? Or was this so long ago that ADA laws and such weren’t around? It’s hard to imagine *any* public building that doesn’t have accessible bathrooms and entrances etc. let alone a medical facility.

That's horrible! Did they think the bathroom was going to see the plaque and slowly stretch out over time? That'd be like going to Flint, Michigan and putting a "potable water" sticker on... anything.

Perhaps something like that is keeping the building from committing to a proper renovation, not to mention the potential of disturbing other patients. And since it's an Old part of the Building, it might contain something that the higher ups do not want to risk exposing the patients to or complicate the renovation enough to not be worth it.

I know Japan and the USA are very different cultures, but you can tell that bike guy isn't used to dealing with someone from the US. First infraction, I would have been irritated, but accepted it. Maybe the guy genuinely didn't know. Second time, if it's the same guy, I would leave a polite note. It's my experience that a lot of people, when politely told something end up either being ignorant of the trouble they were causing, or not interested in confrontation, so even if they're being deliberately stupid, they'll back down. 3rd infraction and I leave a rude note. Something like, "Dear Dumbass: I've explained this to you politely, but that didn't work so note I'll explain it rudely." Stuff like that. I've had great success with that 2nd rude note after being polite previously. In the OP's case, after the first polite note was returned with a "go fuck yourself" style answer, I would have left another note simply saying, "A bicycle is very easily destroyed." There would not be a 4th infraction.

I'm a little surprised there wasn't a issue with the "handicap-accessible" restroom being down some stairs, with no mention of a ramp. That in itself seems like it'd be a building code violation lots of places.

I think you've got them backwards - the non-accessible washroom is downstairs, while the accessible one was down the corridor because stairs were a no-no. But if you're right then my god is that an oversight.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

The two _conventional_ (i.e. non-handicapped) washrooms were down the stairs, the handicapped restroom was along the corridor the servers used to bring food in and out. Out of all the stuff they messed up, that is not one of them. Of course, there's still the issue of there not being enough room so the door has to swing the 'wrong' way, but at least it's not downstairs.

Ok, I'm a huge One-Punch Man fan, and the fact that he compared the OP to Mumen Rider is hilarious and great! For any who may not know, "mumen" in Japanese just about (a.k.a., *very* roughly) translates to "no driver's license", which is why rSlash called him "the unlicensed bicycle rider".

[@AtotehZ]

Funny thing is that anyone with a proper set of tools could remove that bike. I'm assuming OP lives in a very big city where people don't bother having their own tools. Most likely, all he'd need is an angle grinder. It's loud, but if you explain that someone locked your bike up maliciously and show the registration, it shouldn't be too hard to get done.

[@DarkEinherjar]

That would be hard to get away with in Japan. Because crime rate is very low in Japan, cops are always looking for stuff to do, and someone trying to cut a lock free would definitely call their attention. Once they got involved, the spot thief would be screwed, because they'd have to explain the situation, which would probably result in the cops finding out that they parked in someone else's spot.
