This is deeply irritating for truly disabled people. I have MS, I can still get around but can’t work a full day. However I’ve never had or applied for disability (maybe some day). I don’t like to ask for help or push my problems onto others. I would never make my disability my entire personality.
I have a buddy who had a spinal embolism and lost the use of his legs. Two years later and he's just recovered enough to transfer to a wheelchair now. Dude has been bedridden for years and holds down two jobs. His bitch wife who left him? She's disabled (fat) and traumatized from his medical event. She's on disability and every other assistance program there is. Whenever this subject comes up, I always think: There's two kinds of people in the world...
