Can it be considered reasonable accommodation to have your employer install a short urinal?

Question

I feel discriminated against at work because all of the urinals are made for big guys and so I'm stuck using the stall. Now this wouldn't be such an issue except for the fact that each "big person" urinal has the current edition of the Wall Street Journal mounted within reading view for anyone from 6' to 6'6" (the height of our managing director). The stall does not have a copy of the Wall Street Journal mounted on the wall and even if the lowered the Journal the urinal is still too high.

I have spoken with the Human Resources lady about this on many occasions and she says that she will bring it to the attention of our managing director but its been three months and still no little persons urinal has been installed for me.

I am 5'5" and this really makes me upset. I always talk to the receptionist about this because I think that maybe she will mention something to our managing director since she is his daughter. She just jokes and says that she could just see me having to stand on a foot stool.

I've always wanted to ask her out on a date but I guess that this conversation kind of ends that dream. Her laughing made me fell bad about it.

Answer 1

Urinals are set to universal building code.........suck it up and sit it down.......or move on.........If you mentioned this issue to lady........you need more help than a foot stool...........

Answer 2

You are making a fool of yourself.  Is that wise in this job market?

Answer 3

Count your blessings and use the tiolet stool, you know you could be using a catheter and bag
