disabled

Sometimes we find ourselves in awkward situations, especially when it's over a finite resource like parking. There are plenty of times handicapped parking spot hogs need to be taught a lesson, but this situation has a more complex backstory than some rando just illegally occupying a handicapped parking space at the store. The most important thing to do in these situations is to take a step back and think "why am I in this situation?" In this case it seems like the apartment manager may be the one to blame for all this madness.

This Tumblr thread shines light on the terrible struggles experienced by disabled individuals in America, when it comes to getting financial assistance. Specifically, we're talking about scenarios where these individuals literally can't save money, and are forced to deplete their resources every month, for fear of being cut off from financial assistance. If they exceed a certain amount of money, their financial assistance is pulled. What a mess. 

These are a mixture of funny, sad, wtf and mindblowingly frustrating. These folks shared moments when they found that the world wasn't very mindful or accommodating, or when it was overly sensitive and condescending. And sometimes it's just effin crazy.
