Firstly, let me make it clear I am a champion of the disabled and would gladly pay more tax if it went directly to them so they could improve their lives. And if you follow my work or are Stelios you will know I am not to be messed with when someone takes advantage of the disabled.
However, there is a blind woman at my gym who is starting to piss me off and I think she needs a slap to keep her in check.
Ok, she's blind. But does that give her the right to act like a bitch? At busy periods in the gym she doesn't wait her turn for a piece of equipment, she just plays the blind card and jumps the queue. And if you're on a bike or the treadmill she'll come and stand right next to you, right in your face to make you feel awkward. I've had sex with people and not been as close.
And last night at the gym I was getting changed to go home and she was just coming in. She just sat down on my stuff. No apology, just a tut and "don't you realise I'm blind" as though I should have known she was going to walk in.
Now I'm a tolerant person as you know but I think she needs a slap to put her in her place. I know being blind is difficult as I've recently experienced the feeling during a power cut, I tripped over my glockenspiel. But surely blind people should be just as well mannered as the rest of us? Is being blind an excuse to be rude?
