Toxic people are always so frustrating. It is scary to realize these same people who can't steer a shopping cart are driving around in their cars. I try to use them as examples of how NOT to be.
Many disabilities are not always obvious, and we need to respect everyone. I finally convinced my girlfriend to try using one of those motorized carts in the store because her legs and feet were so painful she could not stand or walk more than a few steps. (diabetes) I told her she had every right to use one. That's what they are there for. She finally got up the erve to try it, and a very rude person came up to her and said she should get off and let someone who REALLY needed it use it. She was crushed and felt very guilty.
We are not to judge other people's disabilities or determine which person needs it most. If they are permanently disabled and need something to help them around, they should find a way to have their own.
As a disabled person myself, I try to understand the ignorance of people who make rude comments as they just don't know better. Have you seen the movie "Idiocracy"??? They buy their electrolytes at WalMart, don't you know? LOL |
