I remember being in a hard shoe for a broken toe when I went to Worldcon in Chicago, and hobbling slowly through the revolving door of the hotel when some oblivious asshole who didn't care for how slow I was going pushed the door much faster, causing me to hurt my foot. And I didn't have the wherewithal to say anything to him, so I've just stewed about it for 20 years.
Toby and I are also considering getting a cane for me to travel with to signal I HAVE FOOT PROBLEMS so we can us elevators and escalators without getting tutted at for not using stairs in various countries, because nobody can see the arthritis I have in my feet and knees that make stairs not fun. We ended up using the exceptionally-tall stairs at the Colosseum because the elevators had big signs saying they were only for those with disabilities and I didn't really want to argue with the attendant that no, I really do have a need for the elevator.
