What is CAPOS?

Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!

Craig’s WD #18

Today’s word of the day is…

Penulant

Was yesterday’s Confrontation of innocent bystanders petulant in nature?

Probably! I was bad-tempered, I swore, I acted childishly!

Yeah, there, I admit it!

But, if they, as a whole, had seen that obviously they had to get out of my way, and done so quickly, then I wouldn’t have shouted.

Moral; if you are blocking a person in a mobility device, please step aside, back or away. Be thankful that you can. If you do that, then you would reduce the chances of getting a petulant reply!

Thanks for reading!

    Some people are so stupid but I think it’s also a matter of being thoughtless as well as lazy. They think they can walk in a straight line and the user of the mobility device can just hop out of their way. They have no clue about devices
