  • 5yr old attitude... really?

    I should have a lowered faith in humanity after reading some of these stories but this one really lowered the bar...

    My friend was in Wal-Mart with her boyfriend. Shes just had surgery on her shoulder and is in a very bulky swing so she can't move her arm. Its pretty obvious that shes in a sling. It takes her a lot of maneuvering to do anything right now.

    She has to go to the bathroom and heads to it and when she gets home, she tells me this story.

    While walking into the bathroom, a rather large woman on a scooter makes eye contact with her. She practically leaps off the scooter, runs past my friend who was opening the door, and runs into the handicapped stall.

    My friend, a bit upset tries to use a normal stall much to her discomfort. She has trouble the whole time. When she is finally able to stand back up she goes to wash her hands. The woman comes up behind her and shoots her an evil glare (she saw it in the mirror) and makes a noise my friend said sounded like "I told you so!" and she left without washing her hands.

    Her boyfriend said she saw the woman "run" (and his own words "penguin waddle like she was being chased") back out of the ladies room and drive away on the scooter.

    Both of them claim it looked like her only disability was being overweight, and they guess the larger stall is easier to move around in, but really, was the 5yr old attitude needed? Was it really necessary to "be first"!
    You seem to harbor barbaric tendencies. I suggest you visit a physician at your earliest convenience.

      The attitude was totally uncalled for. And I really don't see the point in "bogarting" the handicapped stall. As in, how dare your friend use it, right?

      I may get flack for this, but I really start to quit believing in someone's disability if they are able to hop out of their wheelchair or scooter or whatever they are using and make breaks for it to get into certain places first. I always thought handicapped people always went first, why do you have to hop out and run for it?

      I have a few coworkers who are handicapped as far as they use a cane to walk around. Sure, everyone's looking, they hobble and wobble.

      The second that clock hits 7 am, they can walk almost completely without the cain, and wow, for those legs and feet being so bad, they sure can ram a gas pedal....they are always the first ones ripping and tearing out of the parking lot or viciously tailgating everyone trying to go 45+ on the 30 mph windy road out of the industrial park.

      Heartless as it seems, I don't believe them anymore.

        Ok, if she's overweight and the handicapped stall is easier to move around in, fine. I've been in some "regular" stalls that were painfully cramped, and I'm pretty close to being a Skinny Minnie (albeit a quite tall one). I'm talking "toilet paper dispenser hanging over my lap" cramped. I could've touched both side walls with my elbows in some of these without stretching. So I can understand if she needs the handicapped stall to move around in. I frequently need it to have room to help my toddler sit on the toilet while juggling the baby.

        Attitude, though? Total suck. Racing to get in before the other handicapped person, throwing an attitude on your way out, not washing your hands, racing to get away before the person you cut off can come out (gulity much?).... I've seen five-year-olds behaved better than that. Good grief, my three-year-old knows how to politely take turns and be nice.

          Your friend should have mused out loud how disgusting it was not to wash your hands......

          ...just for fun of course.
