    Then apply for call-centre work. No uniform, no customer-facing.

    That's already been suggested, apparently to shy to answer calls all the time, thing is, what is one of the requirements of office work if not answering phones:confused:

    is the "uniform" not just trousers and a shirt? i'm sorry but unless i'm mistaken you will find that most blokes whether fat, thin, tall, short, bodily abled or not tend to wear these sort of clothes day in day out and tend not to be that fussed about them...... what makes you so different?

    But my own clothes are ones that fit me right and dont fall off my hips and I can control that but these uniforms I can not control.

    I know that full well, but there must be an office job I can get where I do not have to show myself and my disability off all the time especially to public view.

    how do you propose to get to this job in a morning and home at night?

    you went to uni didn't you, i suppose there was loads of people around then, unless you went in at 4am when there was less folk around.

    stop making lame excuses and get a job

    We did all the disability bit about 7 months ago, according to you then you have a slight limp but are able to push girlfriend No 1 about in a wheelchair and run up and down stairs with girlfriend No 2, so please don't play the disability card again.

    I can use the phone but I don't like talking on it for a long time or saying much.

    I am not physically unable to do many things but I really don't like the idea of being put on public show as an employee.

    OK...here's a perfect job for you. Go and work in an internet cafe. Yes it's customer facing, but people will be more interested in what they are doing to even register you.

    You will also be able to get experience of using a till etc etc.
