Sometime ago, I saw someone walk up and scream at another person that they were disabled and should be allowed to go first on the line. The person being screamed at asked “What is your disability?” They replied, “I weigh 400 pounds and it hurts for me to walk! What do you think it is?”<\/p>\n
The person who was on the line first countered with the question, “Is being overweight really a disability though?” To which they said, “I can’t do the same things you can, so yes, technically I am disabled and you need to move now and allow me to go first.” The other guy thought about it for a second and then said, “No. You need the exercise.”<\/p>\n
You should take away here is that there are actually disabilities that we can’t see and it’s not polite to ask someone what their disability is. But all that aside, I wonder if this person approached the other person without aggressively screaming at them, if they would have responded differently?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
