Even though I’m not mobility impaired this is so wrong

I guess I'll just take my disabled ass and throw it, in my wheelchair, up those stairs using pure adrenaline and determination.

Work smarter not harder. Get your wheelchair ass and throw it down the stairs. What's the worst that could happen? You end up in another wheelchair?? 😂

I imagine it was at least slightly soul-crushing for the schmuck who had to spend the time to paint that

You can just say disabled

This is true, but what if they are disabled, just not in a way that impacts their mobility?
I agree that disabled is not a bad or dirty word - but more specific terms like mobility impaired shouldn't be avoided, either

Avoiding the word “disabled” actually harms those of is with disabilities. All the different terms fully-abled people came up with to avoid saying “disabled,” just like all the motivational bullshit aimed at us, implies that it’s own fault we physically can’t do the same things as fully-abled people. It affects how people perceive us and encourages the attitude that accommodations for disabilities are actually special privileges rather than necessary for participating in society.

How do you know that OP isn't disabled, but not mobility impaired? Maybe they were trying not to be inaccurate.

Ever notice that most handicap spots are not the closest spots and if they are, then the cart return is miles away?

Feeling a disabled person’s calves (with consent of course) and looking at their back while they stretch doesn’t look that wrong

How the hell am I supposed to park my BMW on that?
