Kinda just rubbing it in by then all being told to stand up for Chuck.

I seen the thread and thought “yyyeesss” I’m going to come up with something hilarious here.

Then I calmed a bit and said woah conservatory that’s an awful thankswhore thing to do.

I think getting in a chair to fight them is the done thing. I might have tried to make a joke out of that but that’s not who I want to be.

This is what I pictured street reading op.

You should have been the bigger man and just walked away

No relation

They all look alike in the wheelchair

Sounds like two episodes of The Inbetweeners.

That would have shown him who is boss!

It would've shown him who's gay.

I went to school with someone in a wheelchair. I was sitting behind him in class one day and I started writing on one of his wheels with a pen. He turned around and looked at me. I said to him "I'm just writing my name on your tyre". He said "okay".

This doesn't have much to do with the thread but it just came back to me.

What goes around, comes around

Especially if it's written on a tyre

Whatever happened to that Trinity girl that was always causing snags in the media a while ago?

she was the Ryanair one I mentioned - probably quiet after her being a pain to Costa until her next "injustice"

edit apparently now an intern in the Finanicial times

looking at her twitter, she retweets any injustice - expect a meltdown again soon from her about something

pauliebdub · 01-07-2018 10:33PM

You should have just walked away, some disabled people can be very bitter and angry and being in a wheelchair presents a huge number of challenges from getting around each day to finding a partner.

Pac1Man · 01-07-2018 10:47PM

Do you still have I've of those Cadet Orange bottles lying around OP? You should stick it in his wheels so he sounds like a Honda 50 when he's rolling around.

s7ryf3925pivug · 01-07-2018 10:53PM

My instinct would have been to apologise and move on quickly. I would definitely not have gotten into an argument with him. No point and no positive outcome. Sounds like you got angry.

pgj2015 · 01-07-2018 10:56PM

you should have done what jeremy did here at 17:56

I just felt he was perhaps being aggressive towards me as he’s aware that nobody (or very few) would assault a wheelchair user and he can call me what he likes and gets away with it. I also think that a person walking around a blind corner should be aware that people may be walking straight down a street. I shouldn’t have to stop at each side road to see if a person might be turning onto it. Likewise if I was driving

He probably just thought you were a cnut.

In Lidl once and after putting my stuff on the belt I stood back and started daydreaming a bit, listen to music on earphones. I didn’t notice anyone join the queue behind me and hadn’t put a divider down either. I wasn’t blocking access the belt, I’d kind of stood to the side.

I felt something bump into my ankle, assuming it was a trolley I turned out to see who it was and it was a guy in a wheelchair going mental at me.

Calling me every name under the sun, that I had no respect, I was a prick, he’d beat the **** out me. I think this was all because I hadn’t put a divider down.

This went for a minute until I said I wasn’t going to fight him but just because he’s in a wheelchair doesn’t mean he can be a **** to people.

It kind of ended there as security came over and told him to shut up.

The whole thing was quite surreal.

It could be the same guy, they both have a similar temperament.

zapitastas · 01-07-2018 11:32PM

Did he indicate before pulling out in front of you?

Klonker · 01-07-2018 11:34PM

Did he have his indicator on?

Yeah, I'd probably give them the benefit of the doubt.

I was waking down a main street in Dublin city centre today. As I approached the corner heading straight on a man in a wheelchair came from around the corner off a side road and almost collided with me. He began shouting at me ‘are you f*ckin blind?*....

Here's your out right there - you just look around vaugely and shout, "who said that? Hello? Is somoene there...?"

what makes you think you had 'right of way'? I didn't know there was such a thing for pedestrians?

There absolutely is such a thing as right of way when it comes to pedestrians if not enshrined in law. It's a mixture of common sense, courtesy and manners.

When ppl don't practice these common sense rules you find ppl standing in shop doorways sometimes yacking away, blocking the whole pavement waking x number of ppl abreast leaving one no option but to go on the road to overtake them etc etc.

He continued shouting at me, I walked on as I felt uncomfortable and people were staring at me having an argument with a wheelchair user. Was I in the wrong here?

You should have slashed his tyres..

Disabled **** card. Should have lobbed something in his spoke.

Damn right. Fools who exit shops don't get preference to stride out in front of those on the beat. Gotta wait. Like a roundabout.

Thank you.

I was in town, and I have to use a walking aid. Crossed the road and an old man using TWO crutches started yelling at me. I smiled and quietly pointed out that I was on his side. He stopped shouting.

He was a cranky old man who was probably in pain and frustrated. I know the feeling, believe me..to get used to infirmity and pain is hard.
