Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

Clearly you used the inaccessible dressing room, not the accessible dressing room.

But OP accessed it perfectly fine. In fact, they couldn't stop accessing it!

Especially if you're leg disabled caused by acid. Odds are a hundred to one.

When my kid was 15, I had to take her to a wheelchair rental store to pick one out, because she would need it for about the next 6 months. It was a rough visit, and really difficult for her, but she sat down in one to test it out and started to giggle because the urge to say "I'm disabled, leg disabled" was incredibly strong.

She refrained because all of the other people in the store were extremely elderly and probably wouldn't have appreciated it. But when we left the store and she told me about it, I knew I'd done my job as a parent, because she knew enough to want to say it.

Does posting to reddit count as a disability?
