Do You Bring a Hand Truck Into a Public Restroom and If So, How Far?

We've all seen a Mom or Dad holding a child's hand as they walk into a public restroom. Sometimes the child doesn't want to go and sometimes they wanted to go ten minutes ago.  I've walked into a public restroom holding a jacket or a bag or even magazines that I'm delivering.

However, what do you do if you have a hand truck with you? I know this is a question you've thought long and hard about over the years, maybe this will help you decide.  I was delivering some boxes in a mall and had to use a restroom and I came face to face with this perplexing question.

Do you leave it outside the door and hope no one takes it? Would they do it? It's not like they would just pick it up and walk away with it.  Would someone steal something they had to push around to get away?

Do you bring it into the bathroom and put it on the side so you can keep an eye on it?  If you have to go in a stall, is there room for a hand truck in there? Can you hang it up on the door?

I did wheel it into the restroom to keep an eye on it, but I wasn't comfortable doing it.  Imagine if you walk out and you open the door and walk into someone with the hand truck!

With all the talk in the past year about who should use what bathroom, maybe it's time we talk about what should you be allowed to bring into the bathroom? (Maybe not)
