Why do women get panties in a knot cause you open the door for them at the bank?
Well besides the obvious and that they’re either dykes, or militant femi nazis, it’s because they aren’t comfortable with themselves and end up projecting that negativity onto others.
Equally, disabled people act the same - always with a chip on their shoulder. Hey look life sucks but it aint everyone else’s fault.
I mean if they really want us to be assholes, that’s fine, I’d be happy to park in their ‘handicap’ space.
If you really want to reward those adults who are concerned & caring enough to chaperone the little tykes, this year try offering them tequilla and hardore Slovakian pornography.
My brother was an absolute cherub of a baby ( I still call him my little brother but now people are WTF? He’s six foot tall). I remember some friends coming to visit with their babe a scrawny crying little thing, and being puzzled as to why my bro was not being brought down to join us. My mum afterwards told me the contrast was too much.
My mum was deafish when I was growing up, it’s got worse, so hopefully I learned not to offend people or pander to them for one reason or another.
One time working in a restaurant much was made of the fact that some dude was coming in in a wheelchair. I couldn’t really understand the fuss. Anyway, he had to come in through the back way and at the time I was out there taking a break with my legs across a stool. Anyone approaching would have had to say “excuse me” which he did and through he went. I got such a dressing down from the manager for not jumping out of the way. Dude requested me as his waitress and gave me a massive tip
I know a dude with one arm who calls himself “this abled” I like that for him.
Not unless I appear to be having difficulty getting it myself or I ask you to get it for me. If you see me out and about in the world, in my wheelchair, assume that I know what I am doing and I have a handle on the situation. My mere existence isn’t “problemlatic” or “difficult”. If I don’t appear to be having difficulty with anything, don’t assume anything. If I need assistance, I will be the one to ask.
If you see me reaching for something that is on a shelf; yes, I would appreciate such a question being asked to me. But if you simply saw me in the grocery store, minding my own business and not doing anything that might be perceived as “hard for me” (other than “being” that is, lol); I would be irritated with such a question. Go away busybody.
I’d agree with that (as I’ve mentioned before, I’m paraplegic; I use either a manual wheelchair or an electric scooter, depending on what I am doing at any particular time).
I think the simplest way to put it is that hopefully you offer to help anyone that looks like they need help of some sort, whether it is someone short that is trying to reach a high shelf, a little old lady trying to grab a 10kg bag of potatoes, somebody standing in front of a shelf holding a magnifying glass up to a label, etc. You wouldn’t offer help to the above-mentioned people if you just saw them walking down an aisle casually poking through stuff. The fact that somebody is on wheels rather than feet shouldn’t change that.
And I do offer help under any set of circumstances that suggests the person could use it (short trying to grab something out of reach is tricky because I’m short, though. Little old lady with heavy object, apparent vision issues, etc., I can and do help with).
Look, this is not how we roll here. Hate speech is against the rules, which you may want to familiarize yourself with if you’re going to continue to post here.
Any more posting of this sort will garner you official warnings, which could lead to an evaluation and eventual revocation of your posting privileges. So stop it now.
True, but feeling sorry for someone doesn’t mean you feel sorry for them because of their disability. I just feel bad because they’re sad. I’m empathic by nature.
