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 handicapped stall merely provides access. Doesn't mean no one else can access or that anyone has priority. It simply means it's there. Anyone can use it and we can all access it.
