A much too common experience demonstrating another reason it is so hard for people with disabilities to get out & about; We are desperate, discover the accessible stalls are full & all the regular stalls are empty! (I do so love those bars to help us stand!!)
When the person comes out, I cheerfully say "You are so lucky to get an Accessible Stall! Whenever I'm absolutely desperate, there is an ABLE BODIED person using the Accessible toilet!"
I say this as I'm rushing in & people are so nice, often I get an apology with a "I'm not disabled, it had never occurred to me before" & occasionally they even say thanks! Of course, they have to say it to the stall door as there is no time to waste!

Peter,
I had never even considered rigidity of the bladder as being possible. Wow. That would explain so much. Once again I say Thank you.

Once again I say, "You're welcome". Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to run of to the bathroom.
May we post this in public restrooms???
