Do you consider yourself to be a tolerant person?

I can really understand that. I am newly handicapped. I find that when I go somewhere in my wheelchair people do not move out of the way. They walk right up to you and then act like you are getting in their way and they get all huffy. Sometimes people don't hold open doors or perform some other small act of assistance that would just be plain courtesy. Sometimes I have to excuse myself three or four times each time more loudly to get people to let me pass in a store aisle. One time in the grocery store I had their electric scooter and a person with a regular cart came down the aisle toward me. Instead of excusing herself politely she stood there and made a big deal by puffing her breath and shrugging her shoulders as if I were inconveniencing her on purpose. How rude is that? It is also intolerable that people park in designated parking spaces without permits just because it is more convenient for them than walking a little extra. Believe me if I could walk that extra distance I would be quite happy to do so. I should add here that there are plenty of people who are kind and polite. I would like to thank you all publicly here and let you know how much your courtesy is appreciated by myself and other handicapped people.

Oh there is no rath like the scorned mother! lol I am the same and I would venture to guess 90% of mothers would say that. The other 10% would be the moms that pretty much don't even mother their children.

I am much the same! I can disagree with a person, yet respect their difference of opinion.
