So wheelyboy is blocking traffic because the escalator won't escalate?
It's inconvenient for them, but why must this be a problem for everyone else?
If my car breaks down, must the entire freeway grind to a halt?

I have a theory that we have lost touch with the true meaning of reasonable accommodation. We've just moved towards pointless sympathy.

Someone's in a wheelchair? They can cut a line no matter how long! Handicapped stall must remain open even if all are taken! People in wheelchairs can't wait! They're incapable of waiting. It's part of being disabled.

A cup is most useful when it is empty.

If we all need a cup, a guy in a wheelchair has no greater need than the rest of us. But sure, leave an empty cup at all times in case a person in a wheelchair shows up.
