Get off the Elevator!!!!!!

I really try not to complain that much about how people are very into their own world, but there comes a time when you have to SHOUT OUT to the non disabled world about common courtesy, one of them being if you can walk then Don't RIDE THE ELEVATOR.

I can't tell you how many times we have to wait for an elevator because it's packed full of able bodies that aren't pushing strollers or in or pushing a wheelchair. This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves, because we don't have a choice, we have to take an elevator. Believe me, I have tried to tip Zach back and figure out how to get his wheelchair on an escalator step and ride down. It wasn't pretty and very unsafe and I'm sure Zach was very unappreciative of his heart going into panic mode!!! It is very frustrating to see when the elevator opens up and its packed full of able bodies and you can't get on. The worst part is that they just stare at you and wait for the door to close, I have met very few people that get it and will try and get off so that a wheelchair can get on.

I am not a hypocrite. You will not see me using the elevator if I'm not with my son, and I even go further then that, if someone else happens to be with me, I or that someone always take the escalator and only have my son and 1 escort take the elevator.

I could probably name a ton of other things that bother me about life in the disabled world, but this is the one that hits us more times then not. I'm starting to lose my cool over it so I decided it was time to educate!
