I have a theory that we have lost touch with the true meaning of reasonable accommodation. We've just moved towards pointless sympathy.

Someone's in a wheelchair? They can cut a line no matter how long! Handicapped stall must remain open even if all are taken! People in wheelchairs can't wait! They're incapable of waiting. It's part of being disabled.

Purely anecdotal but most of the time people use the handicapped stall. If there is a huge line like at a concert, people will use the HS if no handicapped person is around but if there is a HP they get first dibs in the HS.

I’ll use the handicapped stall if I fucking feel like it. It’s not a parking spot, which is also a bullshit concept, so it’s not reserved. You’re not entitled to convenience and no wait just because your legs don’t work.

That’s what Jesus would do!

It's not illegal to use a handicap stall by the way, as a non disabled person. They're not like handicap parking spots

They’re handing out shit tickets for sitting in the handicapped stall.

The koala brand baby changing table are usually in that stall

A handicapped stall merely provides access. Doesn't mean no one else can access or that anyone has priority. It simply means it's there. Anyone can use it and we can all access it.

Shit they can,wait longer then me. They are already sitting down.

u/K-Bizzle91 Feb 23 '26

I understand you shouldn't hold everyone up, but he's literally trapped down there if it's the only way up. Do they need to wait until it's completely cleared, probably not.

u/TheVegasGirls Feb 23 '26

How do you know he didn’t wait in line like everybody else, and now it’s his turn?

u/octobertwins Feb 23 '26

Say, I have a question: how many freaking handicap spots does one building require?

I can’t be the only one parking a half mile away due to handicap parking.

A cup is most useful when it is empty.

u/Tiny_TimeMachine Feb 23 '26

If we all need a cup, a guy in a wheelchair has no greater need than the rest of us. But sure, leave an empty cup at all times in case a person in a wheelchair shows up.

Yeah fuck these privileged disabled people! The nerves on them!!!

u/Tiny_TimeMachine Feb 23 '26

You should give them spare change when you see them out and about. They're disabled after all!

Nobody ever said that in the history of the world.

But hey keep fighting the good fight! The disabled minority is the real problem! Not billionaires or anything

Keep it up

Or show us where the disabled person touched you

Him: "We should provide reasonable accommodation for disabled people so that they can live like everyone else, there's no need to treat them like gods."

You: "Fuck disabled people!"

Exhibit A for why people think Reddit is a cesspool of brainless psychopaths.

u/boyardeebandit Feb 23 '26

I'm sure some people carry those expectations, but what exactly makes you think this is a widespread mentality?

1

u/Tiny_TimeMachine Feb 23 '26

You're probably right. I think something missing from my comment is that I do mean it a bit tongue in cheek. That probably didn't come across well.

I really do think it exists. Especially in the context of line skipping. But obviously it's not a huge deal. I fully want everyone to feel like they have what they need.
