I’m not a big guy but my back and shoulders are relatively broad and… there’s an old corny gym joke about having to walk through doors sideways after back day. There are times I actually had to do that and it’s a little embarrassing. For bigger fellas, a scene from In Bruges comes to mind.
There’s also the issue of very poor accessibility for the differently abled. Plenty of places I’ve been are stairs only. And quite often train stations make the elevator a hassle to get to. Walk an extra two blocks to the station exit with an elevator. At least twice a week I find myself helping some lady with her luggage going up or down stairs so they don’t hurt themselves.
