I was reading earlier about a fellow 'wheeler' who had written a short story about when he was at school and kicked out of a lesson by a teacher because he was in a wheelchair.
With all the current inclusion and politically correct laws it really shouldnt happen these days.
The only time i felt very annoyed was when i went for a medical (yes i did say medical) and the room that i was to be examined in was on the 5th floor of a building block. I was in my chair and the only access was stairs or the lift.
Naturally, i opted for the lift....BUT this was NOT an option because the security guard came and informed me that it was against health and safety rules for me to use the lift and i was not allowed to use it due to a fire risk! 
So i complained to him how crazy that was and asked him to contact the doctor to explain that i was not being allowed to access the list so could not make the appointment.
I was told that if i was on time she could have come down to see me and carried out the medical in a ground floor room. I was 5 mins late and was only late because the over zealous health and safety security guard and I was having a heated debate on his lack or rationale.
Needless to say..a big ass complaint followed! 
How about you guys...anything similar happened?
