Disability = not being suitable (for them)
About ten days ago I went to this coworking because I had to attend a master's degree in cultural accessibility. As soon as I walked in the door, I “stated” that I had a disability and asked the staff for help carrying a bag.
During the lesson, since I was experiencing the symptom of fatigue (it's extreme tiredness, you feel like you're dying), I saw that there was a sofa and I lay down (without shoes, because I didn't want to get dirty) while I followed my course on the computer.
At the end of the class, a lady from the staff (not the one I had spoken to before) scolded me, saying that I couldn't lie down. I reiterated to her that I had a disability, but she repeated for *insurance reasons* I couldn't lie down.
Then, probably realizing the nonsense, he confessed that he had received complaints from other people because I had an "unsuitable" attitude. I want to point out that I have always been dressed!
Besides, if anyone had wanted to ask me why I was lying down, I would have had no problem clarifying. If they wanted to put paper towel where I kept my feet *with* socks, no problem there either.
However, the lady reiterated several times that people who need to lie down cannot access the coworking (if someone feels ill, I imagine it would be better for them to pass out on the floor rather than lie down).
Furthermore, the lady also complained that I should have specified on the phone that I had a disability.
I advised the lady to clearly write on the site that in their coworking they adopt the "do not lie down for any reason" policy, but currently I don't see anything of the sort.
P.S. The most hilarious moment was when I pointed out that coworking wasn't accessible in this way and the annoyed lady told me that instead it was because they had ramps, etc. I say hilarious because she was trying to explain to me what accessibility was after I finished a two-hour lecture on accessibility.
EDIT TO THE ANSWER: I wasn't rude, I was feeling bad. I also wrote down what I had.
