Entitled People, Social Issues
Interview
ADVERTIsem*nT
Ideally, a trip to the grocery store should be uneventful. If the shop has everything you need, you can get in and out without waiting in a long line and you’re on your way home before you know it, that’s a successful trip. But unfortunately, we never know what kinds of people we’ll encounter when shopping.
One customer recently reached out to the Entitled People subreddit detailing their bizarre experience with a woman who tried to steal their wheelchair at the grocery store. Below, you’ll find the full saga, as well as some of the replies amused readers shared.
This person was minding their own business grocery shopping when another customer decided she was entitled to their wheelchair

But they certainly weren’t going to give it up without a fight

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

I am enraged that someone would SHAKE and PUSH and PULL a person in a wheelchair, grab their wheelchair, try to move it AT ALL. Sorry for the shouting caps, by I am so mouth-foamingly angered by this. We have NO IDEA why a person is in a wheelchair, what injuries, they may already have, what levels of pain they experience. NEVER EVER touch someone’s wheelchair without permission, and ask permission before you lay your hand on them even for a friendly shoulder pat, because YOU MAY HURT THEM. Had this wheelchair user had a spinal/neck or other injury, this accoster could have paralyzed the person. DO NOT EVER make assumptions about the person in a wheelchair, and do not grab pull or push any mobility device without first ASKING, even when trying to help. A elderly woman (using a walker) at our practice nearly head-cracked the marble floor, because a man decided to help by pulling open the door she had a grip on (he did not bother to wait for eye contact; she was looking at her feet).

Always treat a wheelchair like an extension of the person. You wouldn't pick someone up by the shoulders to move them around; don't move a wheelchair without asking first.

Not a wheelchair but following an injury which destroyed my knee (leading to surgery) I was in a full length brace and walking stick. The amount of old people who would abuse me for using it was insane.

I guess it depends where you live. After breaking my ankle I was temporarily in a wheelchair, used two crutches for many months then one crutch for several months more. Everybody was so nice and helpful. (I live in rural England).

The description of the chase reminded me of the Steamroller scene from Austin Powers. Or the Zamboni scene from Deadpool.
