No wonder he's an ex.

How 'bout this one....

When parking in a disabled parking space and walking into a shopping centre, I got this one:

'Laziness is not a disability you know..." from a complete stranger 'you should be ahamed taking that space from someone who DOES need it'.

I must have been having one of those 'you look so well' minutes. Pity the cow didn't see me staggering back an hour later.

And the other old rejoinder to the 'you look so well' comment is - 'and you look so intelligent....go figure'

"You're so lucky to be able to get paid for doing nothing".

Are they serious?? I worked my patootey off since I was 16. I paid into the SS system. I also paid for Long Term disability insurance.....just in case. Unfortunately, my "just in case" became a reality.

I'd love to be able to hold a job now. But yeah......I'm so lucky to be able to lounge around the house and do nothing...... One positive - I can't be fired or laid off!

Most of the time, I just blow the comments off as ignorance and just make the comment that, "Everyone ends up with something in their lifetime that becomes chronic. You just haven't gotten yours yet." Or, I just leave it at, "Everyone ends up with something. Mine is just MS."

BUT . . .This comment blew my mind. I couldn't even respond. I was speechless. This elderly lady tells me, "But your so beautiful." WHAT? DBF was with me, saw the confusion and shock on my face, and explained my bad days to her. Phew!

Somebody actually left a note on my car windscreen that said that!!

It was a printed paper, under my wipers, and said " Laziness is not a Disability".
I daresay they didn't see me get out with my rollator, and if they did.... probably thought it was fancy dress day!

My sister (the dreaded sister) said to me that I only say that I have MS to get attention. This is the same sister who kept saying she wished she could be on a disability pension like me .... and has faked it so she now has one too!

You should have answered:
"...And stupidity is not against the law, so you're free to go someplace else.."
Unbelieveable how some people know everything, or think they do.
