It's fucking CRAZY.

ASS ASS ASS
The problem is that I can't even believe how many asses are showing in public these days.

I knew yoga pants was sort of a thing, but it's absolutely everywhere in my town now.

It might have something to do with me rarely going outside. Seems like it happened overnight.
EVERYONE IS WEARING ELASTIC PANTS

Ready for a substitution?

Triple entendre.
Three out of ten.
The drink that got through before was my brother's. There are a lot of variables and a lot of unknowns. Therefore I am prepared to step down from my wild speculation.

ooo bby tell me them negative things all day


I don't know what to say.
I have a lot of negative things to say about EVERYBODY. I'm all about equality.
I don't think it's that offensive.

I'm saying that it's likely that social cues are entirely different for them because of their situations. Just like any minority.

@Antarctic Termite

I get that. And I'm sure that's what most people think. But my argument is that their job is more important to them.

Edit: The bigger gap you see between yourself and others, the less you can empathize. The less you'll care when you have to tell them no.

My final point:

The woman in a wheelchair who checked my ticket last Friday didn't seem torn up about telling me that I couldn't bring in my fountain drink. Her tone was entirely straightforward without a hint of sympathy.

For perspective, when she's not there, the other staff doesn't stop anyone.
Or should I say movie-ticket-stub-terror.

As you may or may not know, a lot of movie theaters hire disabled people to sit there and handle ticket stubs.

You may have been under the impression that this arrangement was to help handicapped people work their own jobs. It is certainly an easy and stationary job, it would seem.

However, I have another theory.

The life of a wheelchair bound individual is drastically different than that of a non-wherlchair bound individual. Every social nuance that we're used to isn't the same for them. They are not on an even playing field.

They have so many social protocols in their head from their handicapped position, that they don't focus on some of the things we do. Things like the awkwardness of telling a customer "no."

The person in a wheelchair doesn't think twice telling you that you have to throw your outside drink away. The person in the wheelchair won't listen to any excuse on why you don't have your ID. They won't let you into the R-rated movie.

They follow the job rules 100%. And that's why I think movie theaters hire handicapped employees.
