12/27/2004: "You could at least ask."

I was sitting at a table in a hospital cafeteria when a guy in a wheelchair came up to the table with his cup of coffee and started drinking.

Two things.

1. Normally it's polite to ask if someone can share a table. He didn't. I don't care that he brought his own chair.

2. When he'd finished, he pulled himself away from the table using his feet. What the hell? Not only was he impolite, he wasn't even a proper cripple.

What next? Blind people bumping into me without apologising?
