Today, my co-workers agreed that I was the one causing the elevator to be over its weight limit. When I protested, saying that I only weigh around 150 pounds, one asked me if that included the weight of my wheelchair. They made me get out. FML

Today, I was on the elevator going up to a meeting, and the elevator was getting more and more crowded as we went up. After about ten people got on, they all agreed that I should get off the elevator because they thought me being on was exceeding the weight limit. FML

Today, I got on an elevator with a woman and her child. I was the first one on. When she stepped on, the capacity alarm went off. As she left she told her daughter that's why fat people shouldn't be allowed in public. I'm 145 lbs. She was twice my size. I got called fat by a hippopotamus. FML

Today, two people at work - both higher up than me - called me out for "stomping" when I walk up stairs. I have a disability that causes this. We work at a place specifically for disabled people. FML

Today, we have elevators at my work, but you need to go to HR to get a key. I was denied one after I almost died in a car accident because I didn’t look “hurt enough.” FML

Today, I was at work at the airport. I got called up to a plane's cargo hold, and thought I'd finally learn how to use the loader. Turns out they just needed me to weigh something down, effectively making me ballast. Then my boss told me to get the hell off, after which I hit my head hard climbing out. FML

Today, I got stuck in an elevator for well over an hour while riding it up to my weight and fitness class. Very funny, universe. FML

Today, my foreman complained that I was slowing down productivity and costing the company money, all because I was wearing a harness to protect me from falling over the edge of a three story building. FML

Today, I was taking the elevator down with a group of people. It stopped on the 2nd floor and I said "What asshole can't take the steps from the 2nd floor?" Then a kid in a wheelchair got on. FML

Elevators were designed for handicapped people . Tell their lazy asses to get out and take the stairs ......

I don't believe in giving people special treatment because of a handicap but damn these people do need to learn some common decency & respect. You should have told them to get their fat & lazy asses walking & take the stairs.

its not special treatment though if Op cannot physically get up stairs any other way. Its just a way of OP going about their daily business like the rest of us and making allowances for their disability. Unless all of OP's co workers are unable to take stairs then Op should have been allowed to stay in the lift.

What a bunch of c***s. Report them, the elevator is available first and foremost for those with mobility issues, not lazy arseholes!

That's just wrong on so many levels it's not even funny anymore. As are some if the replies here. And I can't believe that ALL in the elevator followed suit and not one of them stood up for you... The world is sick. FYL, OP. I hope you won't let this pass unnoticed...
