When I was in NYC's airport, they had the handicapped accessible toilets closed in two terminals (..JUST the h/c stalls) and after I'd been searching for a half hour, I finally found one...that had a goddamn step. Just the h/c one. Not the normal bathroom. It was in a separate room. With a 2 inch step. That doesn't sound like much, but it's not exactly easy in a wheelchair. :/ ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR BLADDER IS SUPER FULL BECAUSE YOU HAD TO LOOK FOR A TOILET FOR A HALF HOUR. :||||
...also, there was a Strawberry Shortcake cosplayer I gave the evil eye to for most of the con because she decided that the h/c stall on the showfloor was really a changing room.
...and don't even get me STARTED on trying to find a h/c toilet when wandering around NYC.
and just for h/c accessible shittiness, the biggest comic shop in NYC, which I attempted to visit, has...steps. and no elevator. I was instructed to go to their h/c accessible location across town. It was a third the size. GJ.
It was to the point where I was almost wishing that I'd just brought my cane, even if I would've been puking by the end of the first day.
