I started this tab titled “Books and NOT COOL Stuff” back in late November for 2 reasons. #1 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE books!!! And #2, I wanted to shed light on some of the perils of being disabled. It STINKS being in a wheelchair and for reasons that MOST able-bodied people don’t realize. The step in my front door way (#1) Is NOT COOL and gloves in the winter (#2) can also be NOT COOL.
But then I realized that public places can ALSO be NOT COOL so I started taking pics of these NOT COOL things to spread some awareness that DISABLED PEOPLE MATTER TOO!!! I tweet these pics and write in #DPM2 because we DO and I wanted to share some people’s obtuseness and say that it TRULY is NOT COOL!!!
I tweeted this picture yesterday.
This particular movie theater NEVER has disabled parking spaces probably because of abuse/misuse of disabled parking passes (but that is another issue). My son and I had to park far away and make our own spot (because I need the room (#7). We saw The Fluffy Movie (HILARIOUS!!!) . It was raining when the movie let out and we were parked far from the door so my son was pushing me quickly. I think there used to be a ramp here but with the settlement of the asphalt, not anymore.
Stinks that there is no ramp but it stinks EVEN MORE in the rain so we had to double back like 30 yards, go down the ramp, and walk/roll in the street for about 30 yards at about 7:30 IN THE RAIN!!! Not the safest thing (being pushed by a 12-year-old at dusk in the street, IN THE RAIN!!!)
If I had to rate these NOT COOL instances that I have encountered; I think this one would be PRETTY high!!!
