[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 636961, member: 1963"] My BFF has MS and Fibro, and my late husband suffered with a terminal illness that was invisible at first but cause fatigue and weakness. He had hassles with people over his disability all the time. The funniest was shortly after he'd had to go to walking with crutches. He was heavily into the martial arts and between that and the crutches, had a very powerful upper body. One day he went to Target. He parked in the disabled slot, got out of the car, pivoted on his good leg, and a little old lady the next car over started screaming at him about his parking in a handicapped slot. He shouted back, "Just a minute, ma'am" and opened the back door to get his crutches. Once he got himself organized, he crippled his way over to her car. "What seems to be the problem, ma'am?" The old bat couldn't roll her car window up fast enough. One thing he complained about was a lack of manners in the younger set. He rode the Elevated train (Chicago) quite often. Having only one working leg, it was difficult for him to stand on the train. He noticed that people his age or older would get up and offer him their seat. The kids either ignored him, or looked very pointedly in the other direction. I think some of the same mentality was operating with this woman the other day. [/QUOTE]
