"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

Well Rai was replaying what he perceived to be running through Tim's mind I assume, otherwise, yeah...

What the hell 'chip joke' is there to make anyway?
Except to say 'crip with a chip' which is exactly what's already been said.

I agree, I have no problem with talking to people, but it's the unbareable silence that cuts through me like a rusty cleaver.

I tried to smile, but his face was set in stone.

'Musn't make chip joke, musn't make chip joke...'

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

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 ...

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*

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.
