yes. Yesterday.I use a wheelchair, I was attempting to wheel myself through a door which my friend was holding open for me.
Some FUCKWIT came up behind me and grabbed my chair. Which meant that first the wheels wouldn't move when I pushed at them, and then I was holding onto the wheelrims when the guy pushed the chair forwards so my arms and shoulders got jerked.
He seemed affronted by my yell of pain.
Today my hands hurt and my arms hurt and my shoulders are utterly fucked. Grr.

Fucking hell. Why do some people do that?Sure, open a door or whatever, but is it not obvious that just grabbing the chair uninvited is just rude?

possibly because it's quite unsettlingwhen a stranger suddenly grabs you and moves you about in a way that causes you pain... so where I probably *should* have explained "mate, I know you're only trying to be helpful, but you should always ask first" I was instead going "SHIT!! Get off!"

Reminds me of a story of one of Spacefish's mates,he was in a club and turned round and thought he'd knocked a girl over, so he went and "helped her up", only for her to start screaming for him to put her down. It was then he realised she'd got no legs.

I always ask the OAP guy that regularly has a dead battery in his electric one. He lives up a hill.Every time I ask, he still hasn't had the battery replaced. He's such a mong...
