Whiner.

I actually have found most people to very courteous to me while on crutches. MOST.

Yesterday when I was leaving work, one of the managers here at work was coming right behind me, so I held the door open for her. That is quite a task for a cripple....she didn't even acknowledge me, let alone say thank you! And she knows me!

Silly people

Crutches? That doesn't make you disabled. It makes you on crutches...

You're temporarily inconvenienced, not persecuted.

Persecuted?

Thank you!

Try being my husband who's 86% disabled but doesn't look it. 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 best to your husband, but it is true that a large number of those who have those plates and placards don't deserve them. It is also true that a car with those plates, driven by someone else, is not legally allowed to use a handicapped parking place, though lots of people do anyway.


We now resume our regularly scheduled cartoons....

Oh.. I get yelled at too... for NOT parking in a handicap spot. Like 'cuz there's plates on my car, how dare I take up a perfectly good parking spot for someone else?!? Go figure. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't! I don't bother to tell them the plates don't apply to me. I think it'd go over their head.

I was just tryn'a say that, 'cuz of my husband, I've learned not to judge those with placards or plates, cuz they could be in my husband's condition. And if they truly don't need it, it's their Karma dice they're rollin'. One day they will need it and it won't be available to them.


Heather... when all this is said and done, you'll have some kick-ass biceps! *rawr*

I don't have a handi-capped placard, I do not expect special treatment. I have a really hard time sometimes walking the whole length of the parking lot, but I deal or I ask to be dropped off.

I am not offended...I just thought the persecuted comment was pretty funny

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.
