If you use the handicap stall in the bathroom because you like the extra space, and then handicapped person comes in who actually needs the rails, and can’t use them, isn’t that a bad thing?

Not really. Handicap bathroom stalls are never handicap exclusive. Sometimes there isn't even a second, non handicap stall.

It isn't like parking, because 99.9% of the time, it's in and out in a couple minutes, and 100% of the time you are physically present in the stall.

But if you take the only parking spot, that person pretty much has to go home. The car could be there for hours, even the whole day. Versus two minutes.

This huge moral difference is accurately reflected in the law- it is absolutely, perfectly legal to use a handicap stall without a disability.

Sometimes the bathroom is busy, and everybody gets to wait for a stall. Its not the end of the world.

Sure, just like taking an elevator to the 2nd floor because you don't want to take the stairs.
