Milking the cane, huh??
I dyed my hair because some fella, older than me, carried all my laundry and soap into the laundromat, he thought I needed the help...
On Thursday I got on the rapid transit train and had barely gotten on when this 20 something young man stood up and gave me his seat. He must have seen my cane getting on ahead of me. Well, at the next stop a young woman got on with no cane but an obvious disability. I even offered her my seat but she said no way! There was another 20 something guy in the other accessible seat and she asked if he was handicapped and he said "no, why". She told him she was and needed the seat. He spent the rest of the half hour trip pretending to be a sleep. Someone else gave her a seat. When the young man "woke up", she had taken a picture of him to send to the transit authority. He said he didn't know why everyone was ganging up on him and how could he know she was disabled if he was asleep. About a half a dozen people (including me) said "BECAUSE SHE TOLD YOU SO AND YOU WERE AWAKE!" He took off very fast...we are sure it wasn't even his stop . I doubt he will ever make this same mistake again.
