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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML
Today, a coworker told me I was "fat shaming" them by discussing weight loss with other coworkers. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It continues to blow my mind when I hear stories like this. People are despicable, and this is a prime example of how shitty the human race is. Did they even stop to think of how incredibly rude and thoughtless that would be? Im thinking a few slashed tires and a tire-rod to the face might make them think twice.

Obviously the wheelchair bit makes it worse, but this reminds me of when there were five of us in my friend's car, and she was worried about the suspension. They all agreed that I should get out to lighten the load, even though I weighed the least by far. People are dumb.

Thank you to everyone who supported the OP in this one. Our daughter is in a wheelchair and it is incredible how often incidents like this happen to us. It's not enough that our daughter will never walk. We have to tolerate derision from strangers as well. We would do anything to be able to take the stairs with her, but we too have been pushed out of elevators so the able-bodied would not have to exert their fat, lazy asses by using the stairs.
