I commented on their rudeness ('cause that's what I do :p ) and they, in turn, gave me a look of such disdain and just carried on thinking the world was their own private space and the rest of us were interlopers who needed to be shoved out of the way. Some people are so incredibly self-absorbed and self-involved that the rest of us are just obstacles in their path. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06352332380562232996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50641491000687293112016-12-19T10:02:40.979-05:002016-12-19T10:02:40.979-05:00Alicia -for what it's worth, people with this ...Alicia -for what it's worth, people with this entitled attitude are not very happy with it...the world is always getting in their way and they are never satisfied with anything....but I know that it does seem tempting...I'm just glad people with this attitude are not part of my personal life...<br />Dave..great image...disability pride in action!!<br />ClairesmumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382503094929375543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-88583841673063304042016-12-19T07:48:23.659-05:002016-12-19T07:48:23.659-05:00At home, I use only a cane to walk. In public, I ...At home, I use only a cane to walk. In public, I have this nice, slightly crooked, four and a half foot long hiking staff made of alder wood. I'm only 4' 6" tall, and you would be amazed how many people almost never see me while they are running about. So much so, I've learned to take a VERY wide stance with my cane and staff. Often people collide into me.<br /><br />But with my low center of gravity, and wide stance, you would also be amazed how easy it is to trip tall people. My wife used to worry, and warn me of imminent collisions with these these unobservant people who were about to ram into me. Until she realized, I did it all on purpose: They deserve to fall, because they just don't look.Frank_Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707525224938640688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-16391685232889350882016-12-19T02:27:01.805-05:002016-12-19T02:27:01.805-05:00Some people are so much more important than others...Some people are so much more important than others. I don't understand why you couldn't see this, and go sit in the corner, out of her way, until she was finished with her so-important errands, including telling whoever was on the phone about it.<br /><br />I don't know if you can even educate people like that - possibly you can startle them, as you did.<br /><br />I wish I could try on her attitude for a day or a month, and see if the world is really better for her kind of people. It would be nice to have such expectations - and have them fulfilled. For once in my life.ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.com
