It's so true, it amazes me how judgemental people are about those scooters and a handicap space! It's like people don't understand the concept of an unseen or invisible illness. There are so many diseases and conditions in the world that make a person look completely normal or fine on the outside but could be wreaking havoc on the inside or on how a person feels. I have a stomach problem and chronic pain and I often get looks from people when they see me out like how can she really be that sick that she can't work when she's out at a store or something. People seem to forget that they're seeing me on my best day and have no idea how much effort it took to get up, get dressed, put makeup on and go out; they also have no idea that I'll come home and crash for hours after. It's crazy that people can be so judgmental still.

I understand on a little level. I had surgery a few years ago and my doctor specifically told me to take it easy, no stairs, running, etc. But at my college there's elevators and a lot of fucknuts in the drama program. So I got on the elevator to go up (omg yes!) one floor. With an elevator full of those fucknuts and they couldn't get over it. Bitching about how obviously lazy I was, how dare I slow down their day by two minutes. Now, I'm generally a nice person but I don't take shit. So when I pulled up my shirt and showed them the incision down my midsection and let them have it about why I couldn't take the two flights up, the elevator was silent. I also clicked every other floor button. :3 **** those judgmental douches. If they want to give dirty looks I have no problem making them feel like shit. Even when they don't deserve an explanation.

If it's not an inappropriate what condition drove you from partial mobility with a cane to needing a wheelchair full time? And yeah people always give each other shit, that's why this is the Age of Entitlement I suppose.

You have to consider the percentage if people that are overweight and assholes, a large majority of the time they just like Big Macs to much.

Well, him being a dick and thinking he's more entitled to the scooter than OP's dad isn't helping his case. Usually, people with a proper illness/disabilty would be more considerate towards others and wait their turn. Regardless if the fat guy had a proper aliment of some sort, I've absolutly no sympathy for him - There's no excuse for being a selfish asswipe...
