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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

You bring it up to their superiors, preferably while they're in the room; if the issue isn't resolved, you go up the chain of command until it is. That should not happen in a workplace.

Sorry OP, FYL. My boyfriend has a skeleton-muscle defect that makes it impossible to walk or lift his arms, and people are always taking the very small elevators at the mall in our area, even though there are escalators. Very few of them actually let us on first. The thing that bothers me most is if we go to a hospital to visit family members, groups of nurses will take all or most of the room on an elevator just to go smoke (there is a primary care clinic on the second floor of the hospital) how do they know we aren't there for an appointment? Plus going out to eat makes him feel uncomfortable because people stare because I have to feed him. People also automatically assume he is my brother because of his chair (I actually had a woman ask one day on the bus). I would complain to your boss when the a-holes are in the room... And run over their feet if it ever happens again. :)

You are such a great significant other!(: I'm happy we have people like you!

I'm not trying to be rude or insensitive, but I'm genuinely curious -- what made you date him? I'm obviously not saying people with disabilities don't deserve to have significant others, but being in a wheelchair is one thing, but being physically unable to lift his arms...That seems like it would make it hard to be intimate at all.
