[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. A neighbor left a note in our mailbox complaining that sometimes she/he got stuck behind our disabled child's bus in front of our house in the afternoon (child had to be detached from a harness and buckled in to a wheelchair-it never took more than a few minutes), and could we move the bus stop to the corner? For ten years, I have wondered which neighbor is the a-hole. [/quote]

What an a$$.  One year, we were participating in the Marine Corps Fun Run.  My DD was in a wheelchair and we'd taken metro to the Pentagon and were waiting for a Fun Run bus to take us to the race site.  We were chatting with some Marines while we were waiting for an accessible bus.  I don't know how it came up but one of them carried her up into the bus (DD loved it) while another stowed her wheelchair under the bus.

Apparently, the woman behind us didn't realize it was my DD's wheelchair (I don't know how she missed the Marine carrying DD) and was going off on how it was delaying the bus, why would someone in a wheelchair even be participating, what a hassle it was, how ridiculous accommodating people with disabilities was getting, etc.  I thought DH was going to get up and pummel her.  Instead, it was DS who stood up and started yelling at the woman.  A number of other people on the bus chimed in with their support.  The woman shut up and I felt sorry for her kids.  A number of people came up while we were there and had some encouraging words.  The Marines ran with DD and DS and were super supportive.  Some people are just a$$holes, though.[/quote]
