Small rant on wheelchairs and haters

Wheel chairs. Does anyone ever CHOOSE to need one. I mean I guess when you think of scooters you think really fat people, and then you think about them being fat cause they ate too much and were gluttons, or whatever.

North Dakota seems to be behind in A LOT of areas and mostly from ignorance, not their fault, just a lack of exposure.

In California, ADA was KING, you could not have an establishment without it being ADA accesseable. Because the queen of California, LAWSUITS. Thus, another reason the state is broke.

ANYWAYS

In the building I work in they redesigned the layout for the cubicles, which are all HUGE, and this tiny old lady I work with can NOT stop complaining. We ALL lost at least 6 inches on our desk to make way for this layout and the reasoning behind it was that it would allow wheelchair access. I for one, am all for it, I hate the layout just as much as the next person but for different reasons. But she just keeps harping on and on about “oh you can fit TWO wheelchairs through here, how big are the people they want to make room for going to be?” someone said something, and I want to buy her coffee. Her response was “well, if heaven forbid you end up in one you’ll see that even a little frail woman like yourself requires an extensive chair to get around, assuming you can move your chair with your weak arms”. I love her. I don’t know who she is, but I love her. I’ve spoken up before saying that the building needs to be ready for change and whatnot and she just got puffy about “having to change for people who AREN’T ND’ers” WHAT THE FUCK EVER

I stopped trying and just when I did, this woman comes in and hands her a smack down.

She just smiled and said nothing, it was beautiful.

I just wanted to rant about the fact that even with my parents generation (the baby boomers) heading to wheelchairs … that one of that generations elders would still be so ignorant of wheelchairs and what they require.
