People Who Sit In The Disability Seats When I’m Standing On My Crutches

I'm buying a cane sword when I get home.

Nothing says get out of my seat, like a big pointy knife.

That is going on my shopping list! I was planning on searching for a cane this weekend....maybe I can jimmy rig a knife to the bottom!

Interesting viewpoints...I find myself naturally opening doors and offering my seat or place to those disabled, on crutches or elderly. The way I was raised, its just polite. I dont do it in a manner to make them feel bad or special, and if they decline, they decline, but at least I offered. Im also that weird person at the store who will let you go ahead of me if I have 10 items and you have 1.

TC, you are just too nice.

I actually try to help out people a lot. Don't think I've ever let someone in front of me at the grocery store though haha.

Go for the Scotch cane instead. Less immediate gratification, but in a few minutes you don't really care anymore.

Yea... welcome to the world of strangers not minding their own business screaming at you for parking in a handicap spot although you have both a placard and disabled plates. I have yet to punch an assphat in the face over it, but I've come close. My husband is more diplomatic and just looks them in the face and says, "You don't want what I have" and walks away.

Handicap parking isn't a privilage... there's a nasty price to pay to be able to park there. I prefer to park as far from the door as I can get and be grateful I can walk the length of a parking lot.

LOL.. sorry for the rant, Heather. This is the pet peeve closest to my heart.


Sidenote: I was on crutches for an entire year. Met more nice people than I did dillholes. But I'd never have sat in "preferred seating".

My mom's been asking for a t-shirt that says, "I have Muscular Dystrophy, what's your excuse?" They are slightly harder to find than you might imagine.

Dude, your in florida! Find a souvenir shop for tourists and make her one!!

Yes there are also lots of internet sites that will make bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc etc with whatever you want on them.

When I was pregnant I wanted to get a t-shirt to wear to the gym that said, "I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?"
