[font="Palatino Linotype"]i know there are a zillion stroller stories out there...some good, some funny, some horrific...i'd list this under horrific

ok, so here goes:

we were in the smoking section near the train station and here comes an sg pushing a stroller not watching where she's going and the next thing i see is a guy picking himself up off the ground (he went down face forward)...only i notice that he's got a prosthetic leg...d'oh! the stupid b***h starts giggling and says in general, "i didn't see him" and then turns to the guy, "i didn't see you"...not "i'm sorry, i didn't see you" just "i didn't see you"...then i notice the guy has 2 prosthetic legs! and as he's grabbing a railing to help get himself up and steady i notice he has a prosthetic arm as well...and all this time the sg is giggling...i'm hoping she's doing it out of embarrassment...i couldn't believe my eyes...he's beginning to walk away now and she's still wrangling the stroller (sort of) and still giggling...i wanted to go over and shake her...or punch her...or something to make her stop giggling...i don't know if she even saw he had several prosthetics...she just kept saying she didn't see him...i think she was hoping someone would believe her...but after seeing her knock the guy down who cares whether she saw him or not? she never offered him any kind of assistance or told him she was sorry (maybe she did and i just don't remember...i was so stunned)...the guy did get up and walk away with the lady he was with...he said nothing to the sg who knocked him down (nothing we could hear if he said anything at all)...and there the sg stood...giggling

Some people just do not qualify as human beings. That SG is one.

I hate it when people laugh when someone falls down or gets injured. I find that if a person has this trait, it is very hard for me to be friends with them.

It's usually indicative of a personality type- and I have found over the years that people who find amusement in the injury of others are not the type you want to hang around with. Took me years to learn it.

I just wish I'd have been there- I'd have climbed out of my wheelchair and asked the man if he needed any help. I'd say the whole thing was unbelievable but I've seen this behavior in WDW and I myself almost got knocked over by a kid in Hellies in Target yesterday. She was probably aiming for me :/ The crutch seems to make me a bullseye for idiots.

I'm sorry, but if I witnessed that, I would be thrown out of the park. because I would have taken the kid out of the stroller, and used the stroller to knock her down, while saying that I don't see that the problems is!!!

OMG, that is so wrong on so many levels! Would it have been insensitive to ask to borrow one of his prostetics and beat the living snot out of the SG with it?

I tend to think that cause she had a kid, she did not have to say sorry for anything. After all in an SG mind, it's Disney - Disney is for families, families with small children. Families with small children (in strollers) should ALWAYS have the right of way in any situation, even if it means mowing people down (mainly those without kids) with no sympathy.

After all, saying sorry would be admitting that she did something wrong, but they are at Disney with a little kid - that would simply be too much to ask for!

I betcha she was an AP as well.
