Funny Story
About a week ago, I was downtown getting coffee at Starbucks with a friend of mine from being to Futureshop getting myself a new keyboard and a external hard drive and this is a strange occasion because a woman came up to me in Starbucks while putting sugar in my Vanilla Latte and she asks me: "Do you have CP"? and I said yes. She goes on and asks me if I know this person, or this person, or this person and so on. I said to her no I do not know any of the people you have mentioned. I found this to be extremely disrespectful. Growing up I was taught it's polite to introduce yourself or even say "Hi, How's it going. I noticed you are in a wheelchair and was wondering what disability you have, if any." Me being polite I just answered her questions without wanting to punch a wall.
