I think they should make an episode that involves a person with an invisible disability being harassed because that happens more often than you’d think.
@@lucyriley5461 I am that way; I can walk brief distancs with a cane, and can get up off the chair to get something if I don't have to go too far, but I cannot walk through the store and do my shopping without crying from pain.
@Paradise Woodall My friend's father is blind (not totally blind, but I think legally blind; she says he can like only see in the centers out of his eyes or something - but he is still blind) and he needs his cane when walking through darker areas. However, he doesn't have that much trouble with lighter areas, so that is when he doesn't use his cane. And there have been jerks who think "FAKE!!!" just because he can navigate easier without his cane in lighter spaces. Tropes like faking a disability are probably part of the reason why getting disability accommodations is so difficult even when you have a real disability.
The problem is that many disabilities are invisible. There are people who can stand up for a few seconds but then need to sit down - and they are still disabled. I know the video isn't about that but I felt the need to remind people of that. I've got friends who get bad looks when they use equipment for disabled people, just because they don't LOOK disabled. They still are and shouldn't need to disclose their medical info to strangers to be left alone. So be careful with how that video might influence you, do not think that every people using a motorized cart and standing for a few seconds at a time is just a lazy asshole.
my father needs a wheelchair but a few years ago he could stand up and walk a few steps. Some nice people let us go first in the line and when he paid with his credit card he stood up and the people looked so confused and I was only 10 so I didn't say anything but I think now I should've explained it. (sry for bad english)
@Axel Drans Oh yeah definitely, it's one thing to protest when you hear something that makes you 100% sure that the person is just pretending to be disabled. But I wish that kind of video had a disclaimer of some sort because now I worry that you'll have some people who watched it go bother people with invisible disabilities just because they think they are doing the right thing. Or a different wording. I don't know, something like "many people have invisible disabilities, but what happens when you're face to face with someone who's clearly saying they're using the motorized cart despite being abled?". I don't know, English isn't my native language, but something of that sort. I wish you and your mom all the best.
PLUGGER No you didn’t ask but apperently you care 😉 Maybe just maybe there are other people in the world that has other views than you. Shocking I know 😛
@@DisabledEliza You mentioned "flares" and "going to the bathroom in a bush" since it's illegal I'm not going to ask you, but I'm assuming you have some sort of IBD and so do I. It's disgusting how people think nothing is wrong, yet inside my body I have 13 broken vertebrae and my colon is missing.
One issue with this scenario is that some people can get up and walk for a moment but can't walk for long periods of time. My aunt has a disorder that means that happens.
I have that. I can walk if I’m getting like 2 items but I can’t if I’m getting my food for the next two weeks (or longer) since it takes a while to run around. I can’t stand for a long time either.
@@JosephWolfson Oh I know, I just wanted to make a point that sometimes there are other reasons this can happen. Just so people don't see someone doing that and just assume they're being lazy
@@jessvision8817 that's what I was thinking, I suffer with fibromyalgia and hypersensitivity as well as a number of mental health conditions and if I use the disabled toilet or sit in the disabled seat at the front of the bus when I'm not carrying my walking stick people give me dirty looks. It's hard having a hidden disability because you look fine but I struggle to walk sometimes and other times I'm fine to walk a little bit longer. I think this video is a little misleading as they could do with saying something regarding hidden disabilities 😞😞
Here is the really huge issue with this scenario - there are many people, including myself, who have invisible illnesses, and we tend to get verbally attacked by others who feel like they are entitled to 'call out' ones they believe are faking. I sometimes need to use a motorized cart in a store, even though I was able to walk into the store, and am able to stand to reach an item. Yes, this person did admit to faking, but it breeds the attitude that you can tell someone is disabled by looking at them. Also, the carts are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and are not necessarily limited to use by people with disabilities, even though most good people do realize that is what they are intended for.
Invisible disabilities exist. People constantly think that those with chronic pain are faking if they aren't paralyzed or missing a limb. Sensationalizing the rare case of fakers does the opposite of help.
delancey thank you! I almost started crying no joke. I have chronic pain and finally someone who’s not family realises think. Thank you and I hope you have a great day!
Same here having joints that are more prone to dislocation then others passing out/blacking out when you trip the mental health issues like depression that comes with that, all the same thank you lots.
@@tacosandfries7171, me too! I'm in my 30's and look completely healthy from the outside but if I walk very far at all or stand for very long my pain becomes very severe and can actually make me pass out.
I have fibromyalgia and I can tell you that there are times when I can’t stand up and there are times when I need some help but still can walk. There are some disabilities that are like this. Though it’s not okay to take something if you don’t need it. It’s also important to really see if people are telling the truth or not. (Btw yes I am on a binge of wwyd and yes it’s in the middle of the night and no I have absolutely no idea what I’m writing except for the fact that I’m writing everything I’m thinking which is a lot)
It's acceptable if you've got your sticker in your car and really only use the disability cart when you need it. People are understanding if you simply say you have a condition such as your own.
@@Nakia11798 Not really, a lot of the time people just say “oh, that condition doesnt exist” or “your just being lazy” because they’ve never heard of fibromyalgia before
Exactly. If people can't stand or walk at all, then they wouldn't be using the store's chair. They'd have their own. Those are for people that can't walk for extended periods. I used one when I was recovering from knee surgery. I could walk from the parking lot to the store, but walking around a store shopping did me in pretty quick.
@@UltraCasualPenguin What are you on? When recovering from knee surgery, people can only walk short distances. Most of those people NEED a walker/cane for a few weeks.
@@cerving20On best drug in the world: ruclips.net/video/UKr1H4Jv6is/видео.html BUT ruclips.net/video/r0WwAybZUEg/видео.html Yes, they are real. Stop pretending it's not true. I know, it hurts but there's nothing we can do about it. Best one is the one not in this video. Two moors praying to "most High" for very long time before officer aims at driver with M4.
This shit's really toxic because many wheelchair users can walk or stand for short periods and they're afraid to because people jump down their throats about "faking." This was one of the rather uninformed scenarios.
"i fell once when i was a child and that really damaged me emotionally and physically." (sentimental music begins to play) "ever since i was a young child, i felt it was my duty to stand up for what i think is right. helping people is the right thing."
“It makes me extremely uncomfortable when I see someone fall. It brings back some real tormenting memories. I fear for anyone that falls, and I know that I have to help them.”
I love how Traci can act in so many different characters - from uncaring and narcissistic, to a caring and devoted mother... she is truly a talented actress.
Not everyone in a wheelchair is completely unable to walk. I have POTS and I can walk, but I just can’t walk long distances so a wheelchair is SOMETIMES my best option.
I just came across this and was not happy, I am also a potsie and some times need a rollator some days a wheelchair some days nothing. I wonder sometimes what people think.
thank you. this is a stupid episode, if i encountered that lady who told her to get up and walk i would yell at her, explain and if she didn’t leave me alone after that i would pepper spray her.
If I see someone taking the cart and not handicapped, I would tell her to get off the cart and give it to someone more who is really disabled, but if she refuses, I would say somebody call the cops.
How can you determine if someone is faking a disability? I am 43 years old and on the outside I look healthy and normal. What people don't know is I can't move without extreme pain due to multiple health conditions. I have an accessible parking pass and I have had so many people question me. I have been in a wheelchair at various points but I can still stand and walk. Not everyne is in a wheelchair because they are paralyzed. Some disabilities are invisible and it's not your right to expect someone to explain themselves to you.
Many disabled people are able to move and get things themselves but wear out quickly, and a lot of people treat them as invalid... I wish this was recognized.
Some people are able to get out of there wheelchair/scooter, but they do need it sometimes. If you see somebody get up from a wheelchair, you should not just assume they are not disabled. If you can walk sometimes, you may not be able to walk all the time. Be considerate and remember this !
@@zoe-elizabeth Well I'm glad u actually said something , there are so many ppl who think physical disabilities have to extremely recognisable to be real but not all are.... But then there's mental disabilities and that's even worse to get ppl to understand
So frustrating to hear the phrase "I saw you in the parking lot and you were walking just fine" this is literally the reason I often choose to struggle using the nonassesable bathrooms and just stay at home rather than face the barrage of dirty looks, hurtful comments and abuse I get as a young person with an invisible disability if I ever dare to use accomodations, sit in a designated seat on a bus etc.
Honestly you can’t really judge people that much. Some disabilities, you can’t see them. A person can have indescribable pain eating away at their inside but not on the outside. A person can have been ordered by their doctor to not walk, and be forced to use an electronic cart. Or to not lift. But seem perfectly healthy. Not every case but more often than not. As a bagger whose seen customers who are in pain just going to the grocery store and with a father who’s been in pain for a lot of his life, I know how pain can be invisible but definitely there. Even though I know this is an actor and that it’s meant to look like a scam because they want it to seem like one. I probably wouldn’t confront. I’d be too afraid to because I know that disabilities come in different ways and some of them, you can’t see. But for the ones who become so grateful for my help lifting their groceries into their car that they nearly begin to cry and want to hug you, you feel so much better for not judging...
I have Lyme disease at 32. I had to drop out of a world renown private art institute bc I have rheumatoid arthritis and severe joint pain and damage in my hands. My hands lock up and drop things. I often have severe full-body flare ups where I’ve had to use the cart. I understand what this episode is trying to show, but it’s not so clear and obvious, my disease. I have a handicap sign for parking. And even with a sign in my window, I’ve been ridiculed and shamed in public for “faking”, bc I’m young and “look” healthy. clearly this impersonator is obnoxious and trying to show another type of individual, but I hope people realize there are invisible illnesses out there, as well.
Some people aren’t visibly disabled you know. My sister has a heart issue which requires her to have a defibrillator attached in her heart and walking even short distances can get her heart rate up to 180. She’s a 17 year old girl who looks like she doesn’t have the disability but that doesn’t mean she can just walk around
The Non-binary kid fact is she openly mentioned to people that were helping her and not questioning her.... soooo she openly admitted she was just tired and wanted to use it
Er... “Tracy” could have chronic pain or something else going on that causes her to need a wheel chair but be not entirely bound to it. This situation is a good one to cover but pretty badly done. (Getting up from a chair shouldn’t be a “tell”)
@@morganpruett3890 yah, WE know she's not disabled cause that was the set up, the people in the show are supposed to know cause she got up, that's the thing
omg thankyou i suffer from chronic pain and i sometimes need a crutch but without it i can walk fine. some days i need and and sometimes i don’t, and people don’t understand i need it so i’m not in extreme pain. with the money this show has they should be promoting people who need a aid but can walk.
Just because someone can walk doesn’t mean they don’t need the motorized carts. Also, just because you can’t see someone’s disability doesn’t mean it’s not there. I can walk but I some times need the motorized cart because I have an invisible illness (POTS) and it makes me really dizzy
To be honest, I'm not a fan of this one or others that represent visually "okay" people. I have multiple invisible illnesses and. I'm disabled. Kidney/bladder disease and multiple others. I park in accessible parking, often use a wheelchair, and yea... I use a cart. I am 26 and I've been doing this since my kidneys first failed at 17. I am constantly harassed and discriminated against because I don't "look" sick or disabled. In reality, I'm bedbound because of the pain, take upwards of 30+ pills a day, and struggle to make it through a day. We have enough problems without employees, strangers, and otherwise, making our lives harder. This episode may have been well-intentioned, but definitely portrayed an ableist stereotype. WWYD should hire someone with an actual invisible illness and see how we're treated. We need awareness too.
I'm constantly toeing the line between being able to work and needing to be on full disability. Always getting fired for taking "too many" sick days. Always switching jobs to refresh my sick time.Always fighting tooth and nail to get reasonable accommodations so I can keep my income etc. I'm 31, healthy looking, able to walk but the type of headache condition I have is so severe it's every bit as disabling as missing a limb.
I agree. People assume I'm healthy too because I look normal and I was told to change spot by an elderly lady when I sat at a handicapped seat once. I have multiple chronic illnesses and a genetic/born with disability. Of course disabilities vary and what the person will need varies and we should trust a person when they say they need something.
Yeah I don't go out shopping anymore because I need a motorized cart. I ended up breaking my knee in two and it didn't heal right so now I cant physically walk long distances. I'm also a plus sized woman so people assume I'm fat and lazy so instead of being scrutinized for needing a cart I just stay home.
*IMPORTANT TO ADD THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS/CRUTCHES/WALKERS CAN SOMETIMES WALK BUT NOT FOR BIGGER DISTANCES! * BUT UNFORTUNATELY FAKERS EXIST!*
As an ambulatory wheelchair user myself I have a lot of thoughts on this. One is that these carts are not exclusively for people with disabilities; before I became disabled I occasionally used those carts when I had injuries or illnesses. And while I might occasionally ask store staff for help I would NEVER ask another shopper. If I have to I'll stand up from the cart to reach something, and nobody has ever said anything to me about it (yet?) But my disability is nobody's business, and I would gladly tell someone so if I had to. There are a lot of hidden disabilities that would require a cart, and I feel that it's irresponsible to portray hidden disabilities as "fake" because it encourages people to harass and interrogate the disabled. Someone else here made hat point about doing an episode on people harassing someone with a hidden disability and I would love to see that too.
Yeah, there are people who use wheelchairs and can walk but doing so might cause them a lot more pain, fatigue, etc. than other people. Or they can walk a few steps to get something but not around the whole grocery store.
Exactly. I've had to use these carts multiple times while recovering from major abdominal surgeries. The looks I get are just ridiculous. A few times people have confronted me, and I just say "I had major abdominal surgery last week. I can show you my scar if you like". Usually, that shuts them up.
So...I have a handicap parking placard, and I often use the electric wheelchairs. You can't see what's wrong with me. But thankfully, no one has yelled at me to get up or taken away the chair. Yet. If I'm not using it, I need my walker or to lean way over a grocery cart, and can only do a short trip down a couple of isles. I'm young, I feel looked down enough as it is being disabled, and I have pushed myself to "suck it up" only to end up on the floor before I even reach check out. Just because I can walk for a minute or I'm not old with a cane does not mean I'm faking. :(
Okay but there are many invisible disabilities. There are also disabilities that make it so you can't stand for long periods of time, that can make you faint, etc. This is just judgmental and ignorant...
I agree. I have a few myself and tropes like these are kind of why I'm afraid to request accommodations I might need. I'm afraid they're not going to believe me because I look "normal" and they might think I'm just looking for an excuse to be lazy
I totally agree. Most disabilities are invisible and they are not like people assume them to be. One day/one hour/one minute you might be ok, the next you might be totally sick, in tremendous pain and fatigue. The healthy world needs to be educated on this and not be tested on the limits of their helpfullness towards a rude human being. Really shameful.
Exactly! I really don't like this one. You should never assume someone is faking their disability. You just can't know for sure! (Unless the unlikely event occurs that they actually confess to faking it to a complete stranger that they are using to help them. 🙄)
@@talr.6107 I would say it is because it is shown that she gets up and grabs a few things and some people jump on her asking if they are not really handicapped because she got up for a little bit to grab some stuff. Sure it's fine to get upset if she comes right out to say she isnt handicapped but there's scenes in there where people assume she isn't handicapped just because she got up for a short period of time. It was even a point they were showcasing in the show as a sign she isn't handicapped before she comes out and says she isn't. And there are people out there who are disabled who can walk for short periods of time like what she did. It would be unable to walk around the entire store and a whole shopping trip while walking. It's best not to assume someone is faking which was shown in this video. Now if they come out and say they aren't handicapped then call them out on it.
Also, what about chronic fatigue syndrome? That's a completely valid reason to use a mobility aid. This segment creates a lot of confusion and reinforces a lot of harmful stereotypes.
I didn’t even get halfway into this episode and I had to stop. I have never said this about an episode of WWYD before, but I’m so disappointed. This episode is extremely insulting to those w/o visible disabilities. - I personally don’t have a handicapped placard anymore (it was temporary while I was learning to walk again), so I don’t use handicapped spots; however, my orthopedic doctor still recommends I use scooters at the grocery store, at a fair, or anywhere else I’d otherwise be covering a lot of ground. You can’t see incision scars on my knee and thigh unless I’m wearing shorts, but I don’t owe you that. I’m 21 and my limp is barely noticeable anymore unless I’m tired, over-exercised, or my joints have decided to lock in place- so I get a lot of disapproving looks when I get on a cart/stand up to reach an item.
I recommend you watch through the video because in the later part you can see the way she move around. I have invisible mental illness, and recently I broke my ligaments in one knee (3 months ago), there is absolutely no way I or anyone i know with disability (i worked for wellbeing department in my university) could have moved like she did. I agree it's not totally realistic, but I commend them for their effort.
Agree, I have multiple sclerosis and have had to deal with being discriminated against multiple times because I “look” healthy - I was asked to stand on a bus a while back because I was young, unfortunately I’m unable to do that as I have extremely poor balance and when I explained this, I was kicked off the bus in favour of an older person who wanted my seat. I personally wouldn’t use a motorised cart but I wouldn’t question someone who was even if they had seemingly good mobility, you never know what someone has going on.
This has nothing to do with this video. I have a child with a vision impairment but she not entirely blind. I hate when people look at us when we park. People are so judgemental sometimes. You don’t know what people are going through.Disability is not always physical it can be mentally too! So when u see a person parked in a wheelchair parking. Don’t judge please.
As a disabled person, it makes me sick that you are encouraging the interrogation and judgment of the disabled for not being “disabled enough”. Altered mobility is but one reason someone may need to use a scooter. Plenty of people can walk, stand and reach but still require to use one. This interrogation is why people hurt themselves and push themselves beyond what they physically can safely handle because of the fear that they don’t fit that visual concept of what disability looks like and so they will be questioned and verbally attacked. This is why people in wheelchairs who have mobility in their feet are terrified to move because some judgemental ableist thinks you must be completely paralysed from the waist down to need a wheelchair. It’s why people wait until public toilets are empty because they’ve been verbally abused for using a disabled toilet but aren’t in a wheelchair. This is shameful and congratulates people for questioning if someone is disabled. Fact: the amount of fraudulent disability claims is minute compared to the number of actual disabled people. How about we just assume someone is disabled and leave the fraudulent claims to people whose job it is to do that.
I agree. I've had both hips replaced and I can walk so I don't appear handicapped. However, I still have to use a handicapped bathroom because I can't sit on or get off of a low toilet seat. If anyone questioned me for using the handicapped stall I would probably go off on them!
As a disabled person who is in a wheelchair but has full usage of my legs and an invisible illness, I have experienced everything you just listed and was hoping to find a comment like yours. I couldn't finish watching this full video because I've already been through it enough and it just upsets me. We need to, as a society, really start realizing just how real invisible illnesses are.
This video makes me feel a little anxious. I have an invisible disability. I have psoriatic arthritis. And sometimes I use a cane and sometimes I need to use the scooter at the grocery store and sometimes I am perfectly fine to walk. I’m always afraid of someone saying something to me when I park in a handicap spot or use a scooter, especially since I’m so young. Do I think people who are completely able bodied should use these, no. But again, its also extremely stressful when people see you using one, and you’re young, and can stand up to grab something and they say something to you. Sometimes my pain and fatigue are too great to be able to walk through the store the whole time. But I still have to do normal day to day things like everyone else such as buying groceries. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself to every stranger I meet.
I have to use a wheelchair, I suffer with Neurofibromatosis, Scoliosis, kyphosis, osteoporosis, Supraventricular tachycardia, dual ectasia and external dyspnea, my spine is curved and hunched and I have no bone at bottom of my spine as it crumbled away ans my spinal cord has ballooned too, I also have tumours on my thigh, hip and groin called Kevin, Perry and Eye Ball Paul. I have a blue badge so I can park in a disabled space but a lot of the time the spaces are taken up by cars that don't have badges, like if I forget my blue badge I simply don't park there cos I'm not selfish, we also have parent and child spaces as well so sometimes I park there if all the disabled spaces are taken up, it really winds me up big time
Sometimes I just have to use a motorized cart because my anemia symptoms get so bad my heart rate goes crazy and my dizziness just don’t let me walk in a store that long and I often have to take breaks for my rate to settle. Though I don’t like using a wheelchair because I’m treated like a child.
This is the first "social experiment" that I don't agree with. I mean someone who really doesn't need the electric cart shouldn't be using it at all but just because a person can stand up to get something off of a shelf does not mean that they aren't disabled/handicapped. As for parking in a handicap spot without a placard or license plate I agree that that is very wrong.
Can I just remind evryone that faking a disability is actually really rare and alot of actually disabled people get falselyaccused of faking. Not evryone in a wheelchair/mobility scooter is paralysed. I'm personally scared to stand up out of my chair to grab things because of people thinking I'm faking. Disabled people can stand up and sometimes walk short distances but they're still disabled
Symptoms of a disability can come and go. One week you may be ok. Next week you are in great pain. Don't judge by outward appearance. They may have organ or nerve damage.
Even though I have a disability I STILL get judged by everyone when I use handicap parking AND the electric cart. I cant count how many times I get yelled at. I started to literally carry a signed paper from my doctor with my condition. People see a young man and assume I'm fine.
True, but I think we should also remember and consider that not all disabilities present themselves in the same way and we can't judge if someone just gets up real quick.
Not always true some people have hidden disabilities like I did my legs burned for years before I found out I had a brain tumor and I had trouble walking!!!! You wouldn't know it because I looked normal so before you judge someone using one if these just mind your own business because I could get up and walk too but walking in the store would cause me so much pain!!! I had surgery to remove my tumor 7 years ago and I am fine now but PLEASE don't judge someone until you know the situation!!!!!
I’ve had brain surgery, eye transplants, stomach operations. I’m in my mid twenties. I get a lot of discrimination when I park in a handicap spot, or use any sort of assistance. I always get told “ stop using your grandma’s vehicle or placard” . I always say, disabilities aren’t always visible, I don’t need to be missing a limb to be “handicap”. If you don’t have anything nice things to say, or assistance then keep shut. Clearly, my doctors thought I’m 100% disabled.
When someone says that kind of garbage to me, they're LUCKY I have a disability because it's the only thing preventing me from giving them the beatdown they richly deserve.
I’ve seen on social media recently people who get shamed and shouted at for (legally) parking in disabled spots because their disability isn’t physically noticeable and I’d love to see an episode on this issue.
Lon Hixson yeah my auntie looks normal but she has a respiratory issue so she can’t walk far at all without needing a rest, so a handicap spot and mobility scooter is necessary for her even if she looks fine
My friend's mom can't stand for long periods of time because of a botched internal surgery. She uses carts but if she needs to grab something quickly or go to the bathroom, she stands. If someone accused her of faking disability I would be PEEVED.
As someone with an invisible disability, it isn’t as simple as you can walk you don’t need it, I have a broken spine and it isn’t easy to see but sometimes I really struggle, walking etc and being accused of faking my disability because I am able to walk
In all honesty I've been in situations where people have harassed handicap people just because they don't physically look handicap. So you never know, seriously, how do you know? I've seen teenagers who look fine but need a cart etc so? It's a pickle.
once when I was homeless and about to collapse on the floor from exhaustion but I needed to buy groceries I sat in one of these motorized chairs to take a nap because it was soft and I could barely stand but everyone going by was getting mad at me and shouting at me until they sent someone from the store to protect me but there were guys asking for sex so that was terrifying and I think the guy sent to protect me was asking for sex as well. I said no and curled in the fetal position...so I then eventually got enough strength to walk around the store and then a lot of people who saw me resting in the motorized chair beforehand shouted at me and said you are terrible for taking that chair because you're not really disabled...so then I was like at this point I kind of am disabled because I'm about to collapse from exhaustion and I can't walk very well when this happens...then they were like oh she is drunk. I said haven't you ever seen an exhausted dizzy person before? Someone about to faint from exhaustion? If I faint, please don't let anyone rape me. and then some people told me to take the chair and others did not and there was a big argument. I just tried to get my food and leave. some people offered to carry my basket but then they were telling me what to buy so I had to say no because I'm allergic to a lot of stuff and take back my basket. some people kept asking me if we were on TV and I kept saying no. then they were mad. some people tried to give me money for a motel but then took it away from me once they realized that I wouldn't have sex. I told them all I need to sleep or I will die and was planning to find a good tree or bush to sleep in once I purchased my groceries and left...but then some nice people gave me motel money so I could go sleep and not get raped. All I wanted was food, but I just couldn't get it right away when I arrived at the store, because of how exhausted I was when I arrived there, and had to rest ... I think because I had walked something like 4 miles in serious weather after already being homeless, so not getting sleep and kinda starving. So the manager told me never to come back again and I said OK. I tried to explain that I didn't mean for all of this crazy stuff to happen in the store or in my life...but he just said go away. So I went to my motel and then slept the rest of the day and night and did not die. hooray. and now I am not homeless anymore :) I have never used a wheelchair but have some disabilities: chronic pain, triggered pain, asthma, PTSD, panic attacks, seizures, fainting spells...I just look like I don't need one apparently, even when I'm exhausted and about to faint. Meh people are weird...so quick to condemn. We have to teach them to try to understand the situation.
@@lemurlover7975 damn babe thats a serious story, im sorry you had to go through that, ive been homeless as well, and people treat you like absolute garbage, as if you are CHOOSING to be homeless. If they spent one extreme season, outside they would never second guess. Glad you're doing better, its hard to get back on your feet.
Exactly. I have to use a wheelchair, and I use the electric ones in store plus im 4ft so i cant reach stuff lol but i can stand up but only for a few seconds.I suffer with Neurofibromatosis, Scoliosis, kyphosis, osteoporosis, Supraventricular tachycardia, dual ectasia and external dyspnea, my spine is curved and hunched and I have no bone at bottom of my spine as it crumbled away ans my spinal cord has ballooned too, I also have tumours on my thigh, hip and groin called Kevin, Perry and Eye Ball Paul.

Yea for real
I think they should make an episode that involves a person with an invisible disability being harassed because that happens more often than you’d think.
I would like this 10k times if I could
I was just thinking that, because some people can get up in between but are in alot of pain.

“TRACI”
Traci is the best Karen
shes such a good actress
she plays a good karen
Well not everyone can walk, you know
Remember: *NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE*
MY FIRST THOUGHT
@Paradise Woodall My friend's father is blind (not totally blind, but I think legally blind; she says he can like only see in the centers out of his eyes or something - but he is still blind) and he needs his cane when walking through darker areas. However, he doesn't have that much trouble with lighter areas, so that is when he doesn't use his cane. And there have been jerks who think "FAKE!!!" just because he can navigate easier without his cane in lighter spaces.
Tropes like faking a disability are probably part of the reason why getting disability accommodations is so difficult even when you have a real disability.
Exactly 🙋♀️
Well maybe not all but if I saw the person I was helping run over and grab something will he/she thought I wasn't looking I would be mad too
Thank you! This was kind of a dumb ep
If you end up hating Traci that’s how you know she did her job well

The problem is that many disabilities are invisible. There are people who can stand up for a few seconds but then need to sit down - and they are still disabled. I know the video isn't about that but I felt the need to remind people of that. I've got friends who get bad looks when they use equipment for disabled people, just because they don't LOOK disabled. They still are and shouldn't need to disclose their medical info to strangers to be left alone.
So be careful with how that video might influence you, do not think that every people using a motorized cart and standing for a few seconds at a time is just a lazy asshole.
I was coming down to the comments to say the exact same thing.
my father needs a wheelchair but a few years ago he could stand up and walk a few steps. Some nice people let us go first in the line and when he paid with his credit card he stood up and the people looked so confused and I was only 10 so I didn't say anything but I think now I should've explained it. (sry for bad english)
@@justtryingtoescape you were a kid, you shouldn't worry too much about it. It wasn't your duty or anything to educate people! :)
@@Alice-rt6fz yeah you're right, Thanks!
@Axel Drans Oh yeah definitely, it's one thing to protest when you hear something that makes you 100% sure that the person is just pretending to be disabled. But I wish that kind of video had a disclaimer of some sort because now I worry that you'll have some people who watched it go bother people with invisible disabilities just because they think they are doing the right thing. Or a different wording. I don't know, something like "many people have invisible disabilities, but what happens when you're face to face with someone who's clearly saying they're using the motorized cart despite being abled?". I don't know, English isn't my native language, but something of that sort.
I wish you and your mom all the best.
Just going to say it: this scenario can hurt people’s opinion of people with invisible disabilities 😪

One issue with this scenario is that some people can get up and walk for a moment but can't walk for long periods of time. My aunt has a disorder that means that happens.
I have that. I can walk if I’m getting like 2 items but I can’t if I’m getting my food for the next two weeks (or longer) since it takes a while to run around. I can’t stand for a long time either.
JessVision well, that’s fine. But, the show is referring to people who are just lazy.
@@JosephWolfson Oh I know, I just wanted to make a point that sometimes there are other reasons this can happen. Just so people don't see someone doing that and just assume they're being lazy
@@jessvision8817 that's what I was thinking, I suffer with fibromyalgia and hypersensitivity as well as a number of mental health conditions and if I use the disabled toilet or sit in the disabled seat at the front of the bus when I'm not carrying my walking stick people give me dirty looks.
It's hard having a hidden disability because you look fine but I struggle to walk sometimes and other times I'm fine to walk a little bit longer. I think this video is a little misleading as they could do with saying something regarding hidden disabilities 😞😞
@@lettybabesify If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you may be entitled to a cash reward.
Here is the really huge issue with this scenario - there are many people, including myself, who have invisible illnesses, and we tend to get verbally attacked by others who feel like they are entitled to 'call out' ones they believe are faking. I sometimes need to use a motorized cart in a store, even though I was able to walk into the store, and am able to stand to reach an item. Yes, this person did admit to faking, but it breeds the attitude that you can tell someone is disabled by looking at them. Also, the carts are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and are not necessarily limited to use by people with disabilities, even though most good people do realize that is what they are intended for.
i'm 45s into this vid and that's my first thought some disabilities are not visible
remember though that disabled people can still be able to briefly get up and grab things
"I can barely stand but I ain't no pussy"
Finally someone said something. I can walk short distances but then faint if i go to far
Right?! I have a brain tumor that limits my mobility, but doesn't mean it's impossible to walk but still very painful
Agreed. If they do a video like this again they should make the person stand for a longer period of time
Believe it or not there are some that can’t
Mom that is late to pick her kid up: oh honey I'm so sorry I just met John Quinones
Hahaha
I'd forgive her
Invisible disabilities exist. People constantly think that those with chronic pain are faking if they aren't paralyzed or missing a limb.
Sensationalizing the rare case of fakers does the opposite of help.
delancey thank you! I almost started crying no joke. I have chronic pain and finally someone who’s not family realises think. Thank you and I hope you have a great day!

@@tacosandfries7171, me too! I'm in my 30's and look completely healthy from the outside but if I walk very far at all or stand for very long my pain becomes very severe and can actually make me pass out.
delancey ikr people thought my mum was faking because it was an invisible disability
delancey also mental disabilities exist
I have fibromyalgia and I can tell you that there are times when I can’t stand up and there are times when I need some help but still can walk.
There are some disabilities that are like this. Though it’s not okay to take something if you don’t need it. It’s also important to really see if people are telling the truth or not.
(Btw yes I am on a binge of wwyd and yes it’s in the middle of the night and no I have absolutely no idea what I’m writing except for the fact that I’m writing everything I’m thinking which is a lot)
It's acceptable if you've got your sticker in your car and really only use the disability cart when you need it. People are understanding if you simply say you have a condition such as your own.
@@Nakia11798 Not really, a lot of the time people just say “oh, that condition doesnt exist” or “your just being lazy” because they’ve never heard of fibromyalgia before
My aunt has it and it is awful. I hope you always find nice people when you need it. Sometimes people can be really rude.
Fair point to make: people getting out of wheelchairs does not inherently mean they are able-bodied or not disabled.
Exactly. If people can't stand or walk at all, then they wouldn't be using the store's chair. They'd have their own. Those are for people that can't walk for extended periods. I used one when I was recovering from knee surgery. I could walk from the parking lot to the store, but walking around a store shopping did me in pretty quick.
@@CaptainCocaine You were just tired and thought "it doesn't require driver's license so I can use it to travel just like my car doesn't need one.".

I love how Traci can act in so many different characters - from uncaring and narcissistic, to a caring and devoted mother... she is truly a talented actress.
There are actually a lot of disabilities that can be aided by a cart that don't prevent you from momentarily standing up and walking
In fact, that's exactly who these carts are for. If you can't momentarily stand up and walk, you'd have your own chair.
Some like me has to struggle to walk...
And carry weight that's more damaging...then people laugh it off.
Not everyone in a wheelchair is completely unable to walk. I have POTS and I can walk, but I just can’t walk long distances so a wheelchair is SOMETIMES my best option.
Service dog paw prints Hey potsie same ppl need to understand not all illnesses are visable.
i totally get it. but traci made it clearr she was totally fine and she was just tired lol
Mel G yeah but they are teaching ppl to ask if they are REALLY disabled.
I just came across this and was not happy, I am also a potsie and some times need a rollator some days a wheelchair some days nothing. I wonder sometimes what people think.
thank you. this is a stupid episode, if i encountered that lady who told her to get up and walk i would yell at her, explain and if she didn’t leave me alone after that i would pepper spray her.
imagine if someone who’s actually handicapped needed to park there but traci is parked there 💀💀
it’s ezra there’s a wwyd for that 🤪
it’s ezra they might have removed it after they shot that part
Call the cops on her she probably didn’t have the little sign in the front of the car
There’s more then one spot
They probably moved it after they took the clip, because if they didn’t that is against what they are talking about

If I see someone taking the cart and not handicapped, I would tell her to get off the cart and give it to someone more who is really disabled, but if she refuses, I would say somebody call the cops.

How can you determine if someone is faking a disability? I am 43 years old and on the outside I look healthy and normal. What people don't know is I can't move without extreme pain due to multiple health conditions. I have an accessible parking pass and I have had so many people question me. I have been in a wheelchair at various points but I can still stand and walk. Not everyne is in a wheelchair because they are paralyzed. Some disabilities are invisible and it's not your right to expect someone to explain themselves to you.

Some people are able to get out of there wheelchair/scooter, but they do need it sometimes. If you see somebody get up from a wheelchair, you should not just assume they are not disabled. If you can walk sometimes, you may not be able to walk all the time. Be considerate and remember this !

Honestly you can’t really judge people that much. Some disabilities, you can’t see them. A person can have indescribable pain eating away at their inside but not on the outside. A person can have been ordered by their doctor to not walk, and be forced to use an electronic cart. Or to not lift. But seem perfectly healthy. Not every case but more often than not. As a bagger whose seen customers who are in pain just going to the grocery store and with a father who’s been in pain for a lot of his life, I know how pain can be invisible but definitely there.
Even though I know this is an actor and that it’s meant to look like a scam because they want it to seem like one. I probably wouldn’t confront. I’d be too afraid to because I know that disabilities come in different ways and some of them, you can’t see.
But for the ones who become so grateful for my help lifting their groceries into their car that they nearly begin to cry and want to hug you, you feel so much better for not judging...
I was thinking this too!

I have Lyme disease at 32. I had to drop out of a world renown private art institute bc I have rheumatoid arthritis and severe joint pain and damage in my hands. My hands lock up and drop things. I often have severe full-body flare ups where I’ve had to use the cart. I understand what this episode is trying to show, but it’s not so clear and obvious, my disease. I have a handicap sign for parking. And even with a sign in my window, I’ve been ridiculed and shamed in public for “faking”, bc I’m young and “look” healthy. clearly this impersonator is obnoxious and trying to show another type of individual, but I hope people realize there are invisible illnesses out there, as well.
I'm so sorry you have such a horrible disease. that can't be fun at all.
you have lyme disease, or had? Why wasn't it treated with antibiotics?
Some people aren’t visibly disabled you know. My sister has a heart issue which requires her to have a defibrillator attached in her heart and walking even short distances can get her heart rate up to 180. She’s a 17 year old girl who looks like she doesn’t have the disability but that doesn’t mean she can just walk around

As a TRACI stan, it's with an I
If you can get up every so often to grab stuff then there’s no need to ask other people for help. There are levels of disability.
Just because someone can walk doesn’t mean they don’t need the motorized carts. Also, just because you can’t see someone’s disability doesn’t mean it’s not there. I can walk but I some times need the motorized cart because I have an invisible illness (POTS) and it makes me really dizzy
To be honest, I'm not a fan of this one or others that represent visually "okay" people. I have multiple invisible illnesses and. I'm disabled. Kidney/bladder disease and multiple others. I park in accessible parking, often use a wheelchair, and yea... I use a cart. I am 26 and I've been doing this since my kidneys first failed at 17. I am constantly harassed and discriminated against because I don't "look" sick or disabled. In reality, I'm bedbound because of the pain, take upwards of 30+ pills a day, and struggle to make it through a day. We have enough problems without employees, strangers, and otherwise, making our lives harder. This episode may have been well-intentioned, but definitely portrayed an ableist stereotype. WWYD should hire someone with an actual invisible illness and see how we're treated. We need awareness too.
I'm constantly toeing the line between being able to work and needing to be on full disability. Always getting fired for taking "too many" sick days. Always switching jobs to refresh my sick time.Always fighting tooth and nail to get reasonable accommodations so I can keep my income etc. I'm 31, healthy looking, able to walk but the type of headache condition I have is so severe it's every bit as disabling as missing a limb.
I agree. People assume I'm healthy too because I look normal and I was told to change spot by an elderly lady when I sat at a handicapped seat once. I have multiple chronic illnesses and a genetic/born with disability. Of course disabilities vary and what the person will need varies and we should trust a person when they say they need something.
Yeah I saw multiple comments pointing out the same thing.
Yeah I don't go out shopping anymore because I need a motorized cart. I ended up breaking my knee in two and it didn't heal right so now I cant physically walk long distances. I'm also a plus sized woman so people assume I'm fat and lazy so instead of being scrutinized for needing a cart I just stay home.
“Yeah totally but can you get me one more thing though” 6:11 I’m dead😂😂
Writer: We need a nasty character...
Director: Get Traci over here!
*IMPORTANT TO ADD THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS/CRUTCHES/WALKERS CAN SOMETIMES WALK BUT NOT FOR BIGGER DISTANCES! * BUT UNFORTUNATELY FAKERS EXIST!*
As an ambulatory wheelchair user myself I have a lot of thoughts on this. One is that these carts are not exclusively for people with disabilities; before I became disabled I occasionally used those carts when I had injuries or illnesses. And while I might occasionally ask store staff for help I would NEVER ask another shopper. If I have to I'll stand up from the cart to reach something, and nobody has ever said anything to me about it (yet?) But my disability is nobody's business, and I would gladly tell someone so if I had to. There are a lot of hidden disabilities that would require a cart, and I feel that it's irresponsible to portray hidden disabilities as "fake" because it encourages people to harass and interrogate the disabled. Someone else here made hat point about doing an episode on people harassing someone with a hidden disability and I would love to see that too.
"Get up and walk and stop following me"
Savage lmao
I’m confused as to why people don’t recognize Tracey from prior WWYD scenarios 🤨
IKR!
Adam Hill same
Some probably do, they just cut those out
this is from 2014 and they probably cut those out
Not everyone watches TV, let alone watching ABC and WWYD.
Not all disability are visible... some can only walk short distances too... Think twice before challenging people!
Just what i was thinking
Yeah, there are people who use wheelchairs and can walk but doing so might cause them a lot more pain, fatigue, etc. than other people. Or they can walk a few steps to get something but not around the whole grocery store.
Exactly. I've had to use these carts multiple times while recovering from major abdominal surgeries. The looks I get are just ridiculous. A few times people have confronted me, and I just say "I had major abdominal surgery last week. I can show you my scar if you like". Usually, that shuts them up.
So...I have a handicap parking placard, and I often use the electric wheelchairs. You can't see what's wrong with me. But thankfully, no one has yelled at me to get up or taken away the chair. Yet. If I'm not using it, I need my walker or to lean way over a grocery cart, and can only do a short trip down a couple of isles. I'm young, I feel looked down enough as it is being disabled, and I have pushed myself to "suck it up" only to end up on the floor before I even reach check out. Just because I can walk for a minute or I'm not old with a cane does not mean I'm faking. :(
I feel sorry only the wheelchair cart needs to be for disabled people and old people cuz they use em a lot👀

I have a few myself and tropes like these are kind of why I'm afraid to request accommodations I might need. I'm afraid they're not going to believe me because I look "normal" and they might think I'm just looking for an excuse to be lazy
I totally agree. Most disabilities are invisible and they are not like people assume them to be. One day/one hour/one minute you might be ok, the next you might be totally sick, in tremendous pain and fatigue. The healthy world needs to be educated on this and not be tested on the limits of their helpfullness towards a rude human being. Really shameful.
How is it judgemental and ignorant? She's telling them she's not handicapped & carts like these are usually reserved for ppl who are unable to walk.
Exactly! I really don't like this one. You should never assume someone is faking their disability. You just can't know for sure! (Unless the unlikely event occurs that they actually confess to faking it to a complete stranger that they are using to help them. 🙄)
@@talr.6107 I would say it is because it is shown that she gets up and grabs a few things and some people jump on her asking if they are not really handicapped because she got up for a little bit to grab some stuff. Sure it's fine to get upset if she comes right out to say she isnt handicapped but there's scenes in there where people assume she isn't handicapped just because she got up for a short period of time. It was even a point they were showcasing in the show as a sign she isn't handicapped before she comes out and says she isn't. And there are people out there who are disabled who can walk for short periods of time like what she did. It would be unable to walk around the entire store and a whole shopping trip while walking. It's best not to assume someone is faking which was shown in this video. Now if they come out and say they aren't handicapped then call them out on it.
Also, what about chronic fatigue syndrome? That's a completely valid reason to use a mobility aid. This segment creates a lot of confusion and reinforces a lot of harmful stereotypes.
I wouldn't say anything. Some people aren't handicapped but shouldn't be walking all the time. Unless she said I'm fine, I would be be quiet.
I didn’t even get halfway into this episode and I had to stop. I have never said this about an episode of WWYD before, but I’m so disappointed. This episode is extremely insulting to those w/o visible disabilities.
-
I personally don’t have a handicapped placard anymore (it was temporary while I was learning to walk again), so I don’t use handicapped spots; however, my orthopedic doctor still recommends I use scooters at the grocery store, at a fair, or anywhere else I’d otherwise be covering a lot of ground. You can’t see incision scars on my knee and thigh unless I’m wearing shorts, but I don’t owe you that. I’m 21 and my limp is barely noticeable anymore unless I’m tired, over-exercised, or my joints have decided to lock in place- so I get a lot of disapproving looks when I get on a cart/stand up to reach an item.
I recommend you watch through the video because in the later part you can see the way she move around. I have invisible mental illness, and recently I broke my ligaments in one knee (3 months ago), there is absolutely no way I or anyone i know with disability (i worked for wellbeing department in my university) could have moved like she did. I agree it's not totally realistic, but I commend them for their effort.
Agree, I have multiple sclerosis and have had to deal with being discriminated against multiple times because I “look” healthy - I was asked to stand on a bus a while back because I was young, unfortunately I’m unable to do that as I have extremely poor balance and when I explained this, I was kicked off the bus in favour of an older person who wanted my seat. I personally wouldn’t use a motorised cart but I wouldn’t question someone who was even if they had seemingly good mobility, you never know what someone has going on.
Finally! I was looking for this comment!!!! Invisible disabilities are valid 100%
*grab a cereal box for somebody in a wheelchair*
“Hi ItS jOhN-“
This is really hurtful towards people who have invisible disabilities. Most wheelchair users can stand or walk for short periods of time
This has nothing to do with this video. I have a child with a vision impairment but she not entirely blind. I hate when people look at us when we park. People are so judgemental sometimes. You don’t know what people are going through.Disability is not always physical it can be mentally too! So when u see a person parked in a wheelchair parking. Don’t judge please.
Judging is for idiots
Sarah Shah I am so sorry! I will pray for you and your daughter!
“Finally somebody called out Tracy for who she really is” me: “traci is the one who plays all the mean people on what would you do”
John is a savage!!!! low-key.... he is messy as F*** for running this show!!! lol!!!!!
As a disabled person, it makes me sick that you are encouraging the interrogation and judgment of the disabled for not being “disabled enough”. Altered mobility is but one reason someone may need to use a scooter. Plenty of people can walk, stand and reach but still require to use one. This interrogation is why people hurt themselves and push themselves beyond what they physically can safely handle because of the fear that they don’t fit that visual concept of what disability looks like and so they will be questioned and verbally attacked. This is why people in wheelchairs who have mobility in their feet are terrified to move because some judgemental ableist thinks you must be completely paralysed from the waist down to need a wheelchair. It’s why people wait until public toilets are empty because they’ve been verbally abused for using a disabled toilet but aren’t in a wheelchair.
This is shameful and congratulates people for questioning if someone is disabled. Fact: the amount of fraudulent disability claims is minute compared to the number of actual disabled people. How about we just assume someone is disabled and leave the fraudulent claims to people whose job it is to do that.
RDSGG I agree with you on this. Maybe someone should write a letter to the host of WWYD and remind them about it.
I agree. I've had both hips replaced and I can walk so I don't appear handicapped. However, I still have to use a handicapped bathroom because I can't sit on or get off of a low toilet seat. If anyone questioned me for using the handicapped stall I would probably go off on them!
Someone’s salty
As a disabled person who is in a wheelchair but has full usage of my legs and an invisible illness, I have experienced everything you just listed and was hoping to find a comment like yours. I couldn't finish watching this full video because I've already been through it enough and it just upsets me. We need to, as a society, really start realizing just how real invisible illnesses are.
Sara Jackson Hope you get better
Could you imagine your kid sitting at school waiting and then mom rolls up late talking about she was on tv lol
(Me if I witnessed this show)
Friend: can you believe this horrible woman?
Me: who? (Looks) oh don’t worry. That’s just Traci.
Lol
I bursted out laughing when after hearing all that lecture, she just went, "Can you get me one more thing though?" 😂
This video makes me feel a little anxious. I have an invisible disability. I have psoriatic arthritis. And sometimes I use a cane and sometimes I need to use the scooter at the grocery store and sometimes I am perfectly fine to walk. I’m always afraid of someone saying something to me when I park in a handicap spot or use a scooter, especially since I’m so young. Do I think people who are completely able bodied should use these, no. But again, its also extremely stressful when people see you using one, and you’re young, and can stand up to grab something and they say something to you. Sometimes my pain and fatigue are too great to be able to walk through the store the whole time. But I still have to do normal day to day things like everyone else such as buying groceries. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself to every stranger I meet.
Do you have a blue badge so you can park in the space?
I have to use a wheelchair, I suffer with Neurofibromatosis, Scoliosis, kyphosis, osteoporosis, Supraventricular tachycardia, dual ectasia and external dyspnea, my spine is curved and hunched and I have no bone at bottom of my spine as it crumbled away ans my spinal cord has ballooned too, I also have tumours on my thigh, hip and groin called Kevin, Perry and Eye Ball Paul. I have a blue badge so I can park in a disabled space but a lot of the time the spaces are taken up by cars that don't have badges, like if I forget my blue badge I simply don't park there cos I'm not selfish, we also have parent and child spaces as well so sometimes I park there if all the disabled spaces are taken up, it really winds me up big time
I'd mind my own business, until hearing the verbal admission. At that point, I'd report her for misusing the parking spot.
Sometimes I just have to use a motorized cart because my anemia symptoms get so bad my heart rate goes crazy and my dizziness just don’t let me walk in a store that long and I often have to take breaks for my rate to settle. Though I don’t like using a wheelchair because I’m treated like a child.
This is the first "social experiment" that I don't agree with.
I mean someone who really doesn't need the electric cart shouldn't be using it at all but just because a person can stand up to get something off of a shelf does not mean that they aren't disabled/handicapped.
As for parking in a handicap spot without a placard or license plate I agree that that is very wrong.
2:52 when she starts backing up to keep talking to her 😂 and her face was priceless. Love this actress 😂😂😂
"No
yeah
totally
...can you get me one more thing though?"
dying rn i can't-
Traci is my favorite actress, she's just a natural jerk 💗
Green River ikr
Don't call my angel, jerk. you scum!
Who would say like "I'm just tired,I'm not even handicapped"?🤔.Just to make ppl notice that lol
Traci!
Well, standing up, even when doing so gracefully, is no proof to not be in need of a motorised vehicle.
First person:I broke my leg
Second person:I don’t have legs
Traci:I don’t wanna walk
Can I just remind evryone that faking a disability is actually really rare and alot of actually disabled people get falselyaccused of faking. Not evryone in a wheelchair/mobility scooter is paralysed. I'm personally scared to stand up out of my chair to grab things because of people thinking I'm faking. Disabled people can stand up and sometimes walk short distances but they're still disabled
Symptoms of a disability can come and go. One week you may be ok. Next week you are in great pain. Don't judge by outward appearance. They may have organ or nerve damage.
0:28 I’m dying because of Traci’s expression 😂😂😂
Even though I have a disability I STILL get judged by everyone when I use handicap parking AND the electric cart. I cant count how many times I get yelled at. I started to literally carry a signed paper from my doctor with my condition. People see a young man and assume I'm fine.
Marcos Jimenez 😢Most people don’t have the legal right to know all that, but I understand the need to enlighten them.
True, but I think we should also remember and consider that not all disabilities present themselves in the same way and we can't judge if someone just gets up real quick.
Not always true some people have hidden disabilities like I did my legs burned for years before I found out I had a brain tumor and I had trouble walking!!!! You wouldn't know it because I looked normal so before you judge someone using one if these just mind your own business because I could get up and walk too but walking in the store would cause me so much pain!!! I had surgery to remove my tumor 7 years ago and I am fine now but PLEASE don't judge someone until you know the situation!!!!!
Here she is, the legendary baddie actor herself. Traci.
I’ve had brain surgery, eye transplants, stomach operations. I’m in my mid twenties. I get a lot of discrimination when I park in a handicap spot, or use any sort of assistance. I always get told “ stop using your grandma’s vehicle or placard” . I always say, disabilities aren’t always visible, I don’t need to be missing a limb to be “handicap”. If you don’t have anything nice things to say, or assistance then keep shut. Clearly, my doctors thought I’m 100% disabled.
When someone says that kind of garbage to me, they're LUCKY I have a disability because it's the only thing preventing me from giving them the beatdown they richly deserve.
Do you have a blue disabled badge
“No, yeah, totally. Can you get me one more thing though” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Traci is a menace lmao
I’ve seen on social media recently people who get shamed and shouted at for (legally) parking in disabled spots because their disability isn’t physically noticeable and I’d love to see an episode on this issue.
yesssssssss I was just thinking that
Lon Hixson she meant you can’t physically see all physical disabilities with your eyes, she’s not talking about mental illness....🤦🏻♀️
Lon Hixson yeah my auntie looks normal but she has a respiratory issue so she can’t walk far at all without needing a rest, so a handicap spot and mobility scooter is necessary for her even if she looks fine
Lon Hixson that’s my point but you can’t see them just by looking at someone so people assume you’re fine
My friend's mom can't stand for long periods of time because of a botched internal surgery. She uses carts but if she needs to grab something quickly or go to the bathroom, she stands. If someone accused her of faking disability I would be PEEVED.
As someone with an invisible disability, it isn’t as simple as you can walk you don’t need it, I have a broken spine and it isn’t easy to see but sometimes I really struggle, walking etc and being accused of faking my disability because I am able to walk
When she says “I’m not really handicapped I’m just tired” 😂 that’s so wrong
I’m too early there are no comments yet I’ll come back later
“You got those high heels on gurl”
Yessss miss Traci you better (not) work
In all honesty I've been in situations where people have harassed handicap people just because they don't physically look handicap. So you never know, seriously, how do you know? I've seen teenagers who look fine but need a cart etc so? It's a pickle.
once when I was homeless and about to collapse on the floor from exhaustion but I needed to buy groceries I sat in one of these motorized chairs to take a nap because it was soft and I could barely stand but everyone going by was getting mad at me and shouting at me until they sent someone from the store to protect me but there were guys asking for sex so that was terrifying and I think the guy sent to protect me was asking for sex as well. I said no and curled in the fetal position...so I then eventually got enough strength to walk around the store and then a lot of people who saw me resting in the motorized chair beforehand shouted at me and said you are terrible for taking that chair because you're not really disabled...so then I was like at this point I kind of am disabled because I'm about to collapse from exhaustion and I can't walk very well when this happens...then they were like oh she is drunk. I said haven't you ever seen an exhausted dizzy person before? Someone about to faint from exhaustion? If I faint, please don't let anyone rape me. and then some people told me to take the chair and others did not and there was a big argument. I just tried to get my food and leave. some people offered to carry my basket but then they were telling me what to buy so I had to say no because I'm allergic to a lot of stuff and take back my basket. some people kept asking me if we were on TV and I kept saying no. then they were mad. some people tried to give me money for a motel but then took it away from me once they realized that I wouldn't have sex. I told them all I need to sleep or I will die and was planning to find a good tree or bush to sleep in once I purchased my groceries and left...but then some nice people gave me motel money so I could go sleep and not get raped. All I wanted was food, but I just couldn't get it right away when I arrived at the store, because of how exhausted I was when I arrived there, and had to rest ... I think because I had walked something like 4 miles in serious weather after already being homeless, so not getting sleep and kinda starving. So the manager told me never to come back again and I said OK. I tried to explain that I didn't mean for all of this crazy stuff to happen in the store or in my life...but he just said go away. So I went to my motel and then slept the rest of the day and night and did not die. hooray. and now I am not homeless anymore :) I have never used a wheelchair but have some disabilities: chronic pain, triggered pain, asthma, PTSD, panic attacks, seizures, fainting spells...I just look like I don't need one apparently, even when I'm exhausted and about to faint. Meh people are weird...so quick to condemn. We have to teach them to try to understand the situation.
@@lemurlover7975 damn babe thats a serious story, im sorry you had to go through that, ive been homeless as well, and people treat you like absolute garbage, as if you are CHOOSING to be homeless. If they spent one extreme season, outside they would never second guess. Glad you're doing better, its hard to get back on your feet.
Just because somebody stands up does not mean they aren't disabled.
Exactly. I have to use a wheelchair, and I use the electric ones in store plus im 4ft so i cant reach stuff lol but i can stand up but only for a few seconds.I suffer with Neurofibromatosis, Scoliosis, kyphosis, osteoporosis, Supraventricular tachycardia, dual ectasia and external dyspnea, my spine is curved and hunched and I have no bone at bottom of my spine as it crumbled away ans my spinal cord has ballooned too, I also have tumours on my thigh, hip and groin called Kevin, Perry and Eye Ball Paul. I have a blue badge so I can park in a disabled space but a lot of the time the spaces are taken up by cars that don't have badges, like if I forget my blue badge I simply don't park there cos I'm not selfish, we also have parent and child spaces as well so sometimes I park there if all the disabled spaces are taken up, it really winds me up big time when nearly every car has no badge
@pearlkelly6337 I get semi random flare ups where my walking ability varies.
John: Your voice was garbled at the end.
Haley: You MUST be a Libra.♎😉 So polite, attractive, diplomatic, & indecisive, lol!😂😂✌💗
