Apparently common sense is a point of view and from a wheelchair point of view I have seen and heard a few dumb asses not all cute ones either. I am always thinking I should write down the dumb thing I heard today for a book. I know I know I shouldn't complain or be so critical but sometimes you just shake your head and think please don't reproduce.
Here's a few.
I asked open window, the response; do I need to unlock the window first to open it?
Asked for blanket, response; this blanket is too small it won't cover both legs, I answered lets maybe try unfolding it.
I was told I needed deeper baseball caps because they couldn't figure out how to lower the front visor to keep the sun out of me eyes.
With only the ability to nod yes or no answer the following; are you not feeling well?
I can go on but I want to hear your examples of when common sense got sucked out the car window.
