But you don’t look disabled...
Probably one of the most annoying things I’ve heard.
Am I supposed to wear a sign, stating I have a disability!
Sorry that’s not the way the world works lol.
You can’t exactly see muscles degenerating, until it gets to a certain point and I’m doing my best to not let it get to that point.

I have heard those irritating words. And they were said by youngsters to older people in public transportation. I shame them in loud words as I have found it is the only way.

@marlina I have found out that they feel ashamed if I say what I want in such lout words that everyone looks. I also ask for a seat in such loud words that they can´t say they haven´t heard. And everyone is looking

Yes, that’s generally when it happens, I’m in the handicap parking spot, and people are making comments like that. As if I do t belong there! I’m sorry you know from personal experience! Thank you for understanding....

I use a can and a walker; so it's obvious with me; but I understand what you mean.
