Sir, that is simply your opinion that I am lying about those things (and a peculiar one at that). You have absolutely no evidence to back up such claims so I really wish you would shut your mouth.
You have no evidence to support them. Given your posting personality, I shall continue to believe that they are lies.
I’ll add, that while I can simply unbelieve the former on the face of it, the latter requires me to believe that someone who can vociferously denounce (yet accept) requiring assistance on his way to an airplane restroom would prefer to shit himself on a date rather than ask for assistance. I will not believe that you gave up on going to the bathroom, returned to your place at the table, and shit yourself. I won’t.
I can believe it, but it speaks volumes (negatively) about his personality and his mental health.
Oh come on. There was no one in the bathroom; there was no one working (that I could see) except a couple of old waitresses and hostess; the setup in the bathroom was such so that even IF i did have someone help me…I don’t know how they would. Really. It’s easy to say, “oh, just ask for help” but then when the details are needed, its’ a different story. The stall was so narrow that I couldn’t get my front frame through the doorway, so what is going to be the plan?
And I was with a girl. The last thing I wanted was to be carried off in the arms (of who? again?) of someone to put me on the toilet. So I went back to the table to TRY to hold it.
Fortunately, she understood the problem and tried to make a joke of it. It wasn’t the first date or anything.
In that case, why didn’t you just tell her the problem and leave the restaurant to find another toilet? It seems to me that the chances of finding another building nearby with a toilet might have been higher than trying to wait out your date’s dinner.
Get out of your chair, crawl to, and pull yourself on the toilet with your arms. Not dignified? Certainly not. Is that what a “handicapped restroom” implies? Certainly not. Not strong enough? Perhaps you should try working out.
I’m currently able-bodied, and I’ve performed very similar undignified actions when a toilet was a necessity, and everybody in the bar was grateful.
Did you sue the restaurant?
I don’t understand prefering to poop yourself to actually checking out who might be available to assist. The place only had front staff? No one in the back? And there’s no chance that someone may have needed assistance before and the staff was prepared to help? Or if you were the first, that by illustrating the difficulty for a wheelchair user you might have given management insight into what needed to be changed at that time. And you still could have vented all you wanted while still getting on the toilet. Instead you pooped yourself? If that’s true then I think your primary goal is anger and not advocacy.
And it’s difficult to describe here in print but such volatile movements like getting myself down from my chair to the floor and then pulling myself up to the toilet would have definitely caused me to have an accident. When I am in such a state, I have to be very careful not to make sudden, lifting movements of any kind. Even transferring from my chair to a toilet, in ideal settings, can be disasterous.
This is fucking ridiculous. Of course I didn’t PREFER to shit myself over being helped or whatever. I preferred, or choose to attempt to hold it (we were 2min from my house) rather than humiliate myself in such a way.
Why not undo your pants and just defecate on the restroom floor? It’s got to be better than crapping yourself.
And how would I do that? Levitate over the floor? 
If you were 2 minutes from home why didn’t you GO HOME??? I have driven much longer than that to find a clean bathroom!
As much of a douche as I think Jamie is, assuming that story is true, I can understand his actions perfectly. I can imagine not wanting to embarrass myself in front of my date by asking a waiter to prop me up on the fucking toilet and also not wanting to let her know “hey, just stay here and enjoy your meal, I’m gonna make a quick trip home so I can take a shit!” and deciding that if I just clench my jaw I should be able to hold it OH SHI
Can we go back to taking a shit on him for harassing a company and wasting it and a mediator’s time and being a discount Batman on wheels and all that fun stuff?
In an earlier post you said “There was no one in the bathroom; there was no one working (that I could see) except a couple of old waitresses and hostess; the setup in the bathroom was such so that even IF i did have someone help me…I don’t know how they would.” From this it sounds like you looked around for assistance/options. Rather than preferring, or choosing to not ask for assistance because it would humiliate you as you said later.
I just get the feeling that (in your mind) there’s no room here for anything but your being abused and your righteous anger over it.
No, I was explaining the details of the situation and how help wouldn’t be realistic anyway. And I don’t understand what you are talking about here. Do you feel I don’t have a right to feel upset at this? “Righteous anger”?, I was responding to a thread about the very subject of handicap-accessibility. I didn’t get into any argument or display my anger in any way there at the restaraunt. I simply left. So I feel your comment there was out of line.
ballardfam: You just made a rookie mistake when it comes to parsing posts by jamiemcgarry. What he calls explaining and clarifying, others call, well, you can easily guess what others call that.
I can totally see him doing that, if only to reinforce his own beliefs about how put upon he is. It’s one more for the list he keeps.
A person with a normal mental state would have gone back to the table and said “I need to use a restroom and it really can’t wait. The stall in the restroom here is not large enough for my chair to get into. Would you prefer to stay here and finish your meal while I run home and back real quick, or would you like to come with me and then we can go for dessert and coffee elsewhere?”
Jamie, you are a liar a hypocrite and a total douche.
In this thread you are totally disingenuous about your motives for posting. That thread is nothing more than you posting a dozen pictures of yourself, complete with “douche-bag look” and wanting people to look at (what you feel is) awesome you.
You are a hypocrite because in that same thread you trash some poor guy in a wheelchair because his very presence offends you. The very thing you complain about here all the fucking time, being treated “like a second class citizen” and there you are saying that guy “has no right to even share the stage with us”.
Holy shit you’re a douche. And you don’t even know it, so you’re a retarded douche.
:rolleyes:
Holy douchebag, Batman.
Has there been any time since the end of the good old days, June 2011, when** jamie** joined this board, that there hasn’t been at least one, or two, or three threads going soley based on him, how he looks, and what we think of him? This gets old. I really thought he would’ve flamed out by now, they usually go faster than this. What I really love about his look-at-me threads is how he claims to be asking for opinions, but then when he gets them, he argues about every little point someone has made that makes him look less than perfect.
You go now! Come back one year. Or never. Is never good for you?
