only problem there is.. if i came up to you and asked if you would give up your seat for me... you'd tell me where to get off.... MS is invisible, i don't always use the wheelchair as i need someone with me if i do, but rather rely on my motability car to get me around.

But if you were kind when you ask i wouldnt care what disability you have i would give up my seat. I have a problem with people that dont appreciate it, someone that is kind in their approach is very likely to appreciate it which will make it worthwile for me.

Nothing worse than going out of your way for someone for them to not even break a smile or acknowledge you. (in my opinion of course!)

Maybe there should be some kind of 'buggy driving test' - the number of times I've been rammed in the back of the legs with a buggy is unbelieveable! :rotfl:

One thing that really makes me nervous is mothers about to cross the road with a buggy, sticking it just a little too far over the edge of the kerb... a few times I've thought that was going to end badly!

As for general rudeness, if I hold a door for someone and they don't say thank you, I'll say it for them... albeit in a rather loud, sarcastic tone, "THANK YOU!!" and at times when me and hubby have been stood in front of a particular shelf in a supermarket, and someone just reaches through the two of us, saying nothing, I'll say to him (loudly and sarcastically, surprise surprise ), "I think we're in that persons way, do you?" which usually results some form of acknowledgement from them!

Im suprised you arent losing your voice on a daily basis doing that! I do something similar though as it embarrasses alot of people.

I've got a nasty habit, when i hold open a door for someone who doesn't say thank you, i tend to shout after them, no no thank you
