People’s Angriest Reactions to My Being in a Wheelchair
I’m guessing you read the title and thought, “People have actually gotten angry with you for being disabled?”
The short answer is, yes.
It doesn’t happen often, as most people have been incredibly kind and willing to help if the need arises.
For the few people who have gotten inexplicably angry at me after seeing me in my chair, I’m not sure if it’s the actual disability with which they become irate, or the circumstance in which they see me.
In every case, the chair is a factor, as, without it, none of these situations would either have happened or been as volatile.
But don’t take my word for it. Read the following real-life instances and judge for yourself.
In my younger and less sober days, I enjoyed going out to a bar on St. Paddy’s Day. Green beers, Irish whiskey, and the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, and Rumjacks playing on repeat.
They were good times…from what I remember.
