Injuries making it difficult to walk sometimes result in people using tools to assist them in getting around after the injury. In some places it isn't uncommon to find wheelchairs and electric scooters provided by stores for use by the elderly and others who have trouble walking or being on their feet for extended periods. I sustained injuries that result in instability while walking and standing at times, and stairs are one of my worst enemies. I don't use a wheelchair, or show any sign of these injuries (until I fall down for seemingly no reason, as observed by onlookers...or the noises my legs make, especially while going up stairs). I know others have been criticised or called lazy due to similar injuries when they opt for an elevator instead of taking stairs.
I was contemplating saying something about this as well, thank you.My wife tore something in her leg a couple years ago rendering her unable to walk but she could stand for brief periods of time: this picture could very easily have been about her on a shopping trip. This only lasted for about four months before she was able to walk again (mostly hobbling until a few weeks after that) but there are people who have sustained permanent injuries that just cannot stand for any extended period of time. It's kind of shitty behavior to make a joke about someone without knowing the full story. There's enough genuinely absurd and humorous things in the world without having to make any assumptions.

Sure, she may be standing up from the wheelchair to get a happy drink, but it is kinda messed up to try to make a joke out of someone without knowing the details. Maybe we should accept peoples differences.
What's so hard to watch about this? I thought it was quite informative.
Sorry, I must have misunderstood your spamming of threads with links related to acceptance of diversity and other people's differences as sincere, not the jokes you intended them to be. I will be sure to keep that in mind.Injuries making it difficult to walk sometimes result in people using tools to assist them in getting around after the injury.
