I used to commute daily through Clapham Junction. I used a wheelchair but could manage steps, but relief on other commuters to carry the chair up and down the stairs. It was such a regular thing it was often the same people, but we rarely spoke, people would look at me, I would smile and nod and by the time I got to the top the chair was ready and waiting. It was a great system 😁
One day I was on my way home from work, the height of the evening rush hour. A young man had brought the chair down the steps and I was making my way out when I was violently shoved to the side and a man’s voice said loudly, “See how you like it!”
Wheelchairs don’t move sideways so I was nearly tipped out. Then I heard the man who had carried the wheelchair chair say, “What the hell do you think you are doing?” Next thing I know, shover man is running up the stairs to the next platform, young man plus friends in hot pursuit. Other commuters stopped to make sure I was ok.
A few minutes later the young man came back to check on me and to let me know that station security had the man and were talking to him. I went home.
Still puzzles me! WTF did he think I had done, who the hell shoves a woman in a wheelchair, and in front of so many people?!
Actually I have probably created quite a few WTF moments in my time!
