This may be a little of topic, but somehow it works here.
My girlfriends father (stroke victim and who's also in a wheelchair) came out to visit for a while. So obviously we took him out, dinner every night, shopping almost daily, etc, etc.

Just being in a situation to have to care for a person in a wheelchair for a week, was truly an experience.

Everywhere we went, we fought with the most smalllest things that we all take for granted. I simply couldn't believe how difficult it was to simply get him through a door, or into a store. Let alone trying to sit down at table in a cafe. Every tiny little thing was an issue. Even down to a little crack in ground or a uphill lump in the concrete.

The shit these people have to go through is all fucked up. Hell, trying to find a spot in a handicap space? Forget about it...all the people who are fine and can walk, (visually having no problems) take them up.

What the guy did in the strip club i agree with everyone as being way over excessive. But the reality behind the bullshit is something to think about.
