Lazy people …

Perhaps some of the people on there were perfectly able bodied, but maybe some weren’t? I, for instance, look able bodied, but I’m still recovering from a major knee/ankle injury and can’t do stairs well. I don’t limp, and I’m not on crutches, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt like hell to walk up a flight of stairs.Just because you have a child in a stroller doesn’t mean you don’t have to wait your turn. There’s no sign that says “only people with strollers/wheelchairs/shopping carts can us this elevator.”

B… just curious, but do you read other people’s comments and then post the exact same thing using different words all the time?

Uh… yeah that’s a totally reasonable reaction.

you cannot judge a persons physical ability by what they look like on the outside. for example, my father looks perfectly able bodied guy on the outside. but he actually has severe astma and a flight of stairs on some days can trigger a deadly attack. so sometimes he has no choice. another example is my nephew who looks like a perfectly normal kid on the outside but in reality he has a heart condition which means he cannot use the stairs. so give people a break and dont be so judgemental.

And by the way, when I’m in a busy mall and I come out of a store which is close to an elevator, and I want to go to a shop upstairs which is also by the elevator…I TAKE THE ELEVATOR! And get this…..I even do it when I’m not with my baby!

I am so sorry that you are all so high and mighty, and can’t summon one ounce of courtesy. She never said she wouldn’t wait; I think she was asking more for a sign that reads “if you can take the stairs, please do, because some of us can’t”. Is it too much to ask for a little common courtesy and compassion? Evidently, you scumbags.I actually think she has a right to bitch about this. For one thing, Tracey, you stupid twat, how can you argue he has asthma and needs elevators when he has to walk through the mall to get to the elevator?? I have seen innumerable situations whereby people trooped onto an elevator at MicMac when they clearly weren’t handicapped, they are just ignorant. Though I am no physiotherapist, I am quite sure the vast majority of them had no ailments except laziness.

Because, Guyute, walking on a level smooth surface is a BIT different from huffing it up a flight of stairs. Duh.

“And mind your own goddamned business while you’re at it.” ROFL This from the full-time post responder… “so the fuck what if they’re lazy”. Wow, you have officially crossed into idiotville, posting anything to rebut someone else. You’re one of THOSE, evidently. And for you morons, you still have to lift your legs to walk level. DUH! I have asthma. DUHHHHH Furthermore, it used to be common courtesy (not so common).

You lift and swing forward to walk. You lift up and haul your body weight in a vertical fashion to go up stairs, dipshit. Stairs are harder. Duh.

Bullshit you have asthma, Guyute! I have asthma and walking upstairs is VERY different than walking on level ground.

Or…take your “youngest” out of the stroller and fold up the stroller. Then hand the stroller to one of your other children to carry while you carry your youngest, or take a few extra seconds to walk up the escalator with your youngest. And when you get to the top and realize your youngest can walk and you only use the stroller, for which he or she is likely too big now anyway, to speed up your shopping…stop and think about how many kids you have, how maybe they don’t even want to be stuck shopping with you in a crowded mall, and how much less energy it would have taken to think more carefully about what put you and all your kids in the middle of a busy mall in the first place. Food for thought…
