Don’t know how old you are, but you sound like someone who has never dealt with infirmities. Just in my own family I have two sisters and a wife who have dealt with health issues that would have made it impossible to “put on galoshes” and waded through deep snow to get to the store. And if they had gotten there they would have been unable to have walked around the store for an hour pushing a cart. COPD, Cancer and severe arthritis can do that to you. Luckily they all had healthy husbands and/or caring children who can still do those things for them. Hope you never grow old or get sick and have to learn how hard it is to deal with what so many take for granted. Your ‘suck it up’ attitude is only a little less repulsive than Tara’s.
Thank you. Many disabilities are not visible to the human eye, and some people have multiple disabilities to deal with.
Not too long ago my husband and were grocery shopping, he with the cart, and me, on my own personal mobility scooter. A middle aged man walked by me and said “Too fricken lazy to walk.” It wasn’t a question, he was stating what he had already concluded without knowing me at all.
My reactions varied from “How rude” to where did you get your medical degree, and would you like to see my xrays? Advanced degenerative arthritis, COPD, take your pick.
Never, ever, make snap judgments.
