It's always fun to listen to cyclists twist themselves in pretzel knots trying to explain how traffic laws don't apply to them, usually right after calling for the death penalty for all motorists who commit even the slightest violation Pedestrians should come first, always.

actionjackson posted:https://www.startribune.com/disability-etiquette-stop-embarrassing-yourself-and-learn-the-right-way-to-engage/600230986/ This is sort of fascinating to me because I'm someone who "technically" meets the criteria for a disabled parking tag and even though my wife has made a very rational, sensible case as to why I should, I just can't bring myself to do it. Sure, walking across a hot parking lot in the middle of the day could cause me to overheat to the point of a seizure, but I'm fortunate enough that I'm not disabled to a point where I can't simply adjust my schedule around avoiding the hottest hours of the day, rather than take up a parking spot for someone that doesn't have the same luxuries I do

love to see shopkeepers disability-wash their demand to keep their personal parking space in front of their shop. they all know their customers don't park in front because it's their car parked there all day long.

You joke, but the amount of weird poo poo people would do to my friend with muscular dystrophy without asking is incredible. A common thing was just lifting his wheelchair to help him up stairs, which could have been helpful if they'd ask first and receive instructions on what part of the chair could be lifted without falling off. Also literally stuffing food in his mouth.
