A note stuck onto the glass installed inside a lift has sparked chatter online, highlighting the ongoing challenges of accessibility for specially-abled people and parents with toddlers. Despite efforts to improve accessibility in public spaces, many structures still fall short. The note that has been receiving a lot of backlash online directs people to climb stairs in order to access the lift.

The note was shared on Reddit’s “mildly infuriating” community by a user “Emotional_platypuss” with the caption, “Thanks for being accessible.”
It reads, “To use the disabled lift, please come upstairs to the buffet and notify a member of staff so that we can turn the power on. Thank you.”

Expectedly, the note left the Internet fuming. An individual said, “So ridiculous you can’t help but overlook the spelling of ‘diabled’.”
“It’s amazing that people can be smart enough to make this sign, yet not smart enough to realize how damn stupid it is…,” expressed another.
A third commented with a dash of sarcasm: “In order to access the lift please climb this ladder, swing down the rope, swim through the pool, punch the alligator, crawl through that pipe, escape the lion, then let us know so we can turn on the power.”

“This has gotta be some demented power move, ain’t no way whoever approved that sign can be that stupid,” expressed a fourth.
A fifth simply wrote, “Assuming someone in a wheelchair chair or a mother with small kids would be with someone.”
“Seems like it wouldn’t be difficult to just install a call button. Or a phone number to call at the very least,” suggested a sixth.
