You weren't asking to be treated differently at all, you were just asking for the same courtesy that people give to each other all the time, i.e. to step out of each other's way. HE was the one who decided to treat you differently, ie by treating you rudely.<br /><br />And why do so many people leap to that silly and unfounded assumption that fat wheelchair users are just lazy people who could walk if they wanted to? I mean seriously. If a person really did decide to start riding a wheelchair everywhere just out of laziness, they would discover very quickly that it would limit them from going to a lot of the places they want to go, and would make it more cumbersome to go to some of the places where they still *could* go. If laziness really was a person's only motivation for using a wheelchair, then that really would not last long at all. Sheer logic would be enough to demolish this stereotype ... if only people understood enough about access issues to even think it through.Andrea Shettle, MSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984732076766787818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-1254696915148747272016-12-08T11:33:19.073-05:002016-12-08T11:33:19.073-05:00Cattle prod.

You're blocking the aisle," I wonder what he would have said. "Sorry," and let her pass?<br /><br />There are nasty people in the world. They have recently been emboldened. Civilization is a thin veneer, and hard to maintain, while being and aggressive idiot is thick and easy.<br /><br />Up until recently I would have said the human race is making progress.ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-69290387446750368982016-12-08T09:57:24.412-05:002016-12-08T09:57:24.412-05:00I do not understand why it is so hard for some peo...I do not understand why it is so hard for some people to share the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-74517680059253387442016-12-08T09:48:36.329-05:002016-12-08T09:48:36.329-05:00Ugh!
