“Don’t do anything that could impact negatively on the next wheeler that comes after you

Above all, be respectful.

You don’t want to do something stupid that might impact how the person after you will be treated. For example, don’t go and ask a passer-by to change your diaper. No one with a disability would do that (unless they were on the verge of dying, and even then…). It’s one thing to ask for help getting a can off from a high shelf at the grocery store, another to do what I mention here.

So, think, use common sense (which isn’t so common, I know). ”

Do you then have pretend to crawl on the dirty floor into the toliet ? Or ? Does someone have to lift you into the toliet ? This is why every pretending cripple should wear leg braces ! I Hate having to ask people to bend over and do stuff I damn well know I can do myself . Just get up and lock your legbraces and get what you need or want yourself ! Jeses what if the ticket conductor hurts his back lifting your over weight pretending crippled butt off the chair ? This is where I get off the pretending train. Its just irresponsible to make people lift you up and possibly hurt their backs . Wearing leg braces takes care of this problem . Sorry to sound like I am sitting in judgement cause I am not,but if someone gets hurt by lifting you up..its you that is responseable . Otherwise ..gald you had fun.
