To be fair, it is very hard to change in a normal size stall, but when I did use a handicapped stall I tried to be quick. And obviously if there was someone who actually needed it I didnt use it.People who use the family/special needs bathrooms because they don't want to wait in line in the regular bathrooms. While I understand that waiting can be a pain, please realize that at many competitions there are people helping special needs athletes get dressed and ready.

I have always found that to be rude.
My cheerleaders had better never let me see them push another person to see any team.
I don't even go up to "priority" viewing anymore because I'm short and there are always tall people and even other cheerleaders in front of me. I find a good spot near the back and curse under my breath at the a$$hats that won't stay seated during performances! LolWhen I go "up" with parents (my friends) of Suzy Cheerlebrity I always look around and ask if there is a parent behind me and move, if there is.
I will also kick a kid out of the way in a heartbeat if they're in front of a parent of an athlete on the floor.

We need to get some flags or streamers or something after yesterday, great idea! We get up and go to the "VIP" viewing area for each of our gym's teams. I always make sure that the parents of the kids on the team are in front of me and I expect the same courtesy when my CP is performing. Yesterday there was a bunch of girls who were there to watch another team from their gym 2 teams after us and they just stayed in the front of the VIP viewing area and wouldn't move. A mother whose CP was on the team performing asked the girls to move at least 4 times and she even tapped one of the girls on the shoulder and she just ignored her and they didn't move. I didn't see this, because if I did I would have got in front of the girls and ushered the mothers from our team in front of them. Where are the coaches and/or parents of these kids? This type of behavior is just rude and disrespectful.At our comp last week-end, a large crowd for the team performing after ours wouldn't move so that our viewers could watch our team perform. So one of our coaches handed them a bunch of our little flags and said basically if you're not going to move then at least wave these around....LOL...same big gym that has done similar in the past. Some things never change.
We don't :( Until someone posts video. It was so bad last year our whole team of parents didn't even bother to leave the nosebleeds of the bleachers at most comps because that was our best chance at a view. So please remember...if the 12 year old is blocking your view of your friends and boyfriend...you're likely all blocking the view of the parent who pays! Seriously it was ridiculous last season.I seriously wonder how parents of kids on more popular/well-known teams ever actually SEE their kids perform.
The year CP17 was on coed elite that was my biggest competition stressor. For the most part it turned out okay, we were in a mosh pit of random people in priority but I managed to be there to see him as well so it was okay. But I was not above asking 14 year old fangirls to move out of the way if they were blocking me unless they wanted to drive the carpool and pay the bill.We don't :( Until someone posts video.
