Epic rant, is he in the wrong or in the right? anyone else get irritated by them?
there are many reasons why people may require the use of a wheelchair. Paralysis due to spinal injury (such as paraplegia), amputation of both legs, acute Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Cerebral Palsy and chronic arthritic conditions being just a few of the more common reasons.
Whatever the reason, ‘full time’ wheelchair users share the problem of being unable to walk. This means the necessary adaptions, though unique in each individual case, tend follow similar basic rules. Also people with disabilities affecting their balance (such as inner ear problems like Menieres Disease) may require certain of these adaptions. I just dont get why they are so ****ing rude and "assume" we all know how to handle their disability...
I was crossing the road and there was a lady sat in a wheelchair looking at me, with a dull look on her face almost assuming i knew what she wanted... i ignored her and carried on walking. She shouted at me "ignorant pig" and explained that i had to look behind her to see if there was traffic approaching, as if i was meant to know this just by looking at her...
I stood there in shock, how someone could be so assuming and rude and expect to get away with it? all because she was stupid enough to drive head on into a wall and get paralysed, or whatever the hell she done. Well you lost your legs not your manners you silly cow. Call me crazy, but I gave her abuse back... i was having none of it. I proceeded to explain to her that i was having a bad day, i recently got fired from work and my clan had just folded (we have been together 4 years before someone assumes im pathetic, one of our members had to quit due to irl issues and failure to pay service bill) a lot of people on the street offended me and all of a sudden i was marooned with abuse, but do you know what? im glad i did it. Maybe next time she will not be so rude and assume we all know what the hell their crippled, two wheel bastardchops faces want and show a little manners. ****S. |
