If you can walk and have all your limbs you dont deserve a disability parking permit. Lots of people have constant pain. we would all be on disability if that was the only criteria. whinging self entitled wankers. Only have to look at this thread to see the whole problem in this country.
Sheer ignorance, and possibly a touch of arrogance too.
There's pain, and there's
disabling pain, a whole nuther thing indeed.
Despite your attitude I truly hope you never learn the difference, I wouldn't wish
that on anyone, not even those of your ilk.
Try and imagine it, your brain is trying to climb out of your head, your muscles are simultaneously cramping to the extreme and failing, your vision blurs, you feel like your about to mess your pants on the spot, sometimes it feels like a pack of rabid Rottweilers are trying to tear your leg(s) off, occasionally you faint or collapse?
That happens to me regularly, it's no fun to say the least. I won't shake hands with anyone, my bones break too often doing that, I can't run, I have to step slowly up or down stairs, even standing up from a chair can be difficult on a bad day, and getting in or out of the car is always difficult.p
Can you picture how your statement makes
me feel?
I paid one H of a lot of taxes across my career as a Chef, and during my time with the Sallies too, so......self-entitled?
To quote a slightly famous movie, "Huh,I blow my nose in your general direction"
I saw your photo, might pay to lose a few kilos champ. Btw, I once spent 6 weeks in ICUs, so no stranger to pain. Still got the trach scar, plus a few other things I manage to cope with. Despite all this I still lead an extremely physical life. In fact I believe mental attitude is everything. I hardly ever talk about my previous injuries, in fact this is the first time I have in years, I don't believe in trying to elicit sympathy. Besides, no one would believe me looking at me.
