"I felt really uncomfortable earlier"

I was walking along and there was this crippity crip in an electric wheelchair being guided along across the grass.

At this point I jumped over the small wall and ran across the grass, and we made direct eye contact as we passed.
Their face seemed to be full of envy at my;

walking
jumping
travelling across grass without getting stuck

You cant be that bothered if you go and call him a cripity crip.

And about 5 minutes after that, he'll be getting worn like a hat.
A penis-hat, as Father Christmas there walks naked around his penthouse apartment.

It's so true. Infact that happened to me today on the way to the bus.

He was just sitting there, so of course I avoided, then he stared right at me, so I looked and he just kept staring.

I tend to get nervous around disabled people... because you don't really want to offend them, and no-one has any idea how easily offended they are.

Meh.

I'd just treat them like normal people same as I do with kids.

If they can't handle that then that's their problem. I don't actually care that much.

*shrugs*

Just treat us like you would anyone else - if a crip gets offended by that then they have a chip on their shoulder and should be shot.

A crip with a chip ...

I admit, it never ceases to amaze me how you're so easily able to laugh about it :' [

I'm not really disrespectful to disabled people
honest
