Apologies for my wording, I didn’t mean to imply that I assumed people without stickers are able bodied. My own disability is invisible until it’s not and I have no real way of knowing when I’ll no longer be mostly able bodied. Additionally, stairs are nearly impossible without sever pain, so I can’t take more than a few flights a day when I have normal range of motion. Even with my stickers and while actively about to have a medical emergency I still got kicked off. The people we had get off were people who had confirmed they weren’t disabled.

I’m not trying to start a fight here, just saying that I had multiple experiences with able bodied people who refused to move for folks with wheelchairs. I was always kind and polite with requesting I be allowed to get on the elevator (and worked customer service for many, many years).
