When you get caught stealing welfare

You need to educate yourself more about disabilities

Haha ableism and not understanding disability yayyy

Not everyone in a wheelchair is paralyzed.

....the thought had never crossed my mind. Quite literally.

Wheelchairs are much much cheaper than mobility scooters. I’ve seen people take their wheelchair to get groceries, then lock it up and walk.
zbigogre
I had to scroll through the comments to get it. Some of you never worked in the health care industry and it shows.

There has to be a better way!

Wheelchair does not mean paralyzed. Dude clearly has a bad back and can’t walk for prolonged time
lukelorian
Seriously you can see the brace.
swipesomething
It's much faster to move around in a wheelchair than with crutches, he could be standing on one leg because he broke the other one

That title hurts folks like my father who NEED a scooter (c-spine injury) but will not use b/c of asshats who think things like that.
OpossumJesusHasRisen
Yep. I refused one for WAY too long. I did serious damage to my joints by pushing through because of how people act regarding it. 1/
OpossumJesusHasRisen
About 2 months ago, I no longer had a choice but i could have saved my hips & knees if I had caved 2 yrs ago instead. 2/2

It's called a taco stand for a reason.

I thought Taco Tuesday was on Friday.

As someone who's always in pain but looks like everything's fine, don't judge a book by its cover. You don't know their story.

If we had taco trucks on every corner, we wouldn't need universal healthcare.

Just because you can stand doesn't mean you can walk. Although some people in wheel chairs can even walk short distances!
militou91350
Exactly. Like my wife. She can walk 100m a day. After the whell chair is needed
Genini
I had a friend who could stand up but if he walked it was like a pole in his spine. Kind of a penguin waddle. Had to use the chair
rockadoodledoo
True! But there is definitely misuse out there...and it’s centered around the moto-wheelchairs at Walmart, fat people and the chip aisle.

I'm super pregnant and can't walk for long periods without getting burning pains in my sciatic area, I always feel too judged to use a chair
liesmyparentstoldme
Same thing bothers me when people complain about parking spaces

My dad needs one for longer distances, but he can stand and walk. People sometimes get really weird about it when he stands up.
Tarmaccian
I walked a quarter-mile with a broken spine. It wasn’t really smart, but I did it. I wont judge what might inspire another person to walk.
MabelandDipperPines
Thank you! I was just about to comment something along those lines. Not everyone who uses wheelchairs os completely immobile.

Yeah if you have a hip transplant you can probably walk a bit but after a while it starts hurting
Awmph
This is true, but tacos still work miracles
IneversaidIworkedhere
Tacos still work miracles. ?
rinfected3
That was my first thought. I use a chair & only for the past year. I can't walk at all but I can stand. My hips are dying. #osteonecrosis ?
ktheman
My mom is this way right now. The hope is that she only has to use the mart cart after some PT
Goblor
I used to take care of a man that was in a wheelchair a lot, but we would still take walks, he just seizured a lot so it was dangerous.
jridley
I have a friend who can walk normally - for maybe 300 to 500 feet - then she gets wobbly and can't stand anymore.People hassle her.
Firefluff
This is me too. I cant walk more than 400 feet without excruciating pain and then getting unsteady.
LazyBunnyKiera
Yeah people can be super judgey. Assuming to know everything about you and your problems at a single glance.
Youhavinagiraffe
Had a friend who got a severe inner-ear infection and needed a wheelchair. He could support himself fine but no balance at all.
ScottPerri
It's a joke. On the internet.
LoquaciousDude
Which is based on or is assuming a stereotype, which is pointed out.
ColostomyBrag
Does this make the joke any less funny? No.
LoquaciousDude
To me it makes it not a joke but rather ignorance.
LazyBunnyKiera
Of course not. But his wheel chair also deserves a taco. :D It is a joke. I just wanted to get that in before someone said he was faking.
LazyBunnyKiera
I read a lot of r/entitled parents. A lot of people assume because you can walk, or you "look" ok, that you don't need a chair.
fibonaccifreefall
This! Not all people in wheelchairs are necessarily completely confined to them—and some people even only use them part-time b/c they (1/3)

have conditions that affect the body in waves. I had a chair even before breaking my legs in case my hips, knees, or ankles dislocated (2/3)
fibonaccifreefall
or for going long distances, because of degenerative bones. Doesn't mean I wasn't going to try & stand or walk at every chance I got. (3/3)
foxytriceratops
My friend has a similar issue. Any tips on helping her transition into a wheelchair? She’s been fighting the concept for probably 5 years.
fibonaccifreefall
Oh my gosh, first of all: you are such an awesome friend! <3 Transitioning into a wheelchair is definitely a huge impact on one's life, (1)

THANK. YOU. My mom uses a chair sometimes if we go shopping (she has MS)- and she gets looks even when she TRIES to walk and can't
simplyshiny
it's obvious that she needs the chair when she tries to walk, but people still give looks.
simplyshiny
back when she could walk better I remember a cop stopping her after parking in a handicap space- even though she had a placard.
LazyBunnyKiera
I was recently diagnosed with MS. I can still walk thankfully. But i've already started losing fine motor skills. And Muscle weakness is bad
LazyBunnyKiera
And i'm on all kinds of crap, interferon-B and imuran, baclofen, chlorzoxazone. So soon, that'll be me. Already i don't like going shopping.

my mom was dx over 30 years ago. She uses a walker at home and if she doesn't have to go far and really that only started in the last -
