Absolutely brilliant one today.
Me and 2 friends, one of whom is wheelchair bound, were just walking (yes, I know) back to college having had lunch. We took a shortcut round the back of Asda where it was very muddy and the ground was sloping so my friend's wheelchair was slipping and sliding all over the place. Some women walked past as this was going on and what did she say?

"It'd probably be easier just to walk wouldn't it?"

I nearly died laughing. That had to be the most insensitive statement of the year! I'm still wondering if she was incredibly thick and didn't realise he couldn't walk or if it was just a cruel joke.

On the subject of geography and the US: I agree with Ken3005. I may not know where every town/state/city is in the US but I know where it is, I know its capital and most of the major cities/states and I don't generally confuse it with other countries like Canada. There is a world of difference between being unable to point out North Carolina on a map and believing that England is in London.

That is all
