My grandmother gave me this book on manners because apparently I needed help in that area. I was reading it and there is an advice column at the end of every chapter, there is one letter that stuck out to me...
"Dear Alex,
I use a wheelchair. You wont believe how many times total strangers just start pushing me. How do I tell them I don't need their help?"
Oh my God, seriously!? If I was in a wheelchair I would carry around a tazer with me everywhere. So when jerk offs start "helping" me I can reach around ant taze their stupid asses. If someone were to just randomly start pushing me I would flip out, Id be like "WTF do you think your doing you stupid MF, Leave me the hell alone!" And thats how I would politely deal with that situation. :)
Veda27,
ReplyDeleteI've ran across this attitude from people in wheelchairs as well.People are really trying to help.
but I myself can relate. I am not in a wheelchair but I recently had a major surgery
and I get irritated sometimes when I want to
do something myself. I do my best to realize they are trying to help.Sometimes I do not do too well. peace sister.
