Not all physical disabilities are visible. However stupidity shows itself constantly

20.09.2023The woman was the AH. Clearly she was entitled. And Karma bite her right away.

20.09.2023As someone who doesn't look disabled but is, I've had people be INSANELY rude to me for using things made to help me (I can't walk for long periods or my legs try to give out, so I often use wheelchairs in stores)
People like this deserve the embarrassment
Matthew Jones
20.09.2023This is obviously a fake story, but it’s kind of an asshole move to refuse to explain why you need a seat and then complain that they only stopped “harassing” you when you showed them your prosthetic.
Pepperoni Pizza
20.09.2023I really think she should have mentioned her leg earlier. You can’t just say “I need to sit in the disabled seat” and not expect a follow up.
Magne
20.09.2023Wouldn't be the a-hole, even if you cussed them both out
Antike
20.09.2023These idiots on reddit will post stuff like this asking “am i the asshole” when really they just crave attention and sympathy from strangers on the internet. This one is an obvious one
Lori Patton
20.09.2023NTA she was being a jerk and should have been more kind and asked why you need the seat
Random Ivan 101
20.09.2023I knew a kid in highschool who was 12 when he got a prosthetic leg no one's too young to be physically disabled
Triane Nope not Trian
19.09.2023Nope
John Arredondo
19.09.2023Yeah she probably wouldn’t have believed you
Xormyr
19.09.2023Nta. I have a weak back. Some days ill walk with a cane and use those seats. I have a whole ass can and these attention whores will still argu cus im not in a wheelchair or 80. N.T.A, very important you know
ZeroTheHeartlessKing
19.09.2023nta, i have the feeling even if OP was respectful and says the reason why, this dumb bitch would've "called her out" for "lying"
best way to deal with a wrong idiot is to show why they're wrong
2000sancho
19.09.2023Maybe you should have told her you are disabled in the first place.
RUBYREDOBSIDIANDRAGON
19.09.2023Dude never had someone demand you give up your seat for them, regardless of where you are sitting. I always believed it's first come, first served. If they find it rude oh well🤷
Junesdarling
19.09.2023Invisible disabilities are so disrespected in this world. Everyone else knows what the seat is for too, it’s not your business wether or not the person in it is respecting it because you have 0 ways of knowing.
Callum Beckwith
19.09.2023The woman didnt see the prosthetic which is fair, but she was being abit over the top there, now people with invisible disabilities will sit there also so people will ask them to move and they will have to exaplain if they choose to give that info out, now I do think he should have said a bit earlier but it is also his private information and she did not have the right to know his business, but she was just a massive cow from the start sooo even if he did say I feel she would have still made another issue out of it NTA
Anushka Das
19.09.2023I think you should tell that women because lots of people seating on disability seats and faking it
G Carr
19.09.2023Once rode a bus with my kids, it was full and I had to apologised to an elderly man that I couldn't give him my seat, he was ok about it as a young man got up and gave him his. A lady started loudly making comments about people today not giving up their seats to the elderly and it was clearly aimed at me. After 20 minutes of being berated the bus came to my stop the kids brought me my crutches so I could stand up and before leaving I turned and looked at the woman who started to get visibly embarrassed. Many of the passengers were trying not to laugh but you could hear the sniggers. Hope that lady also learned a value lesson of not all disabilities are visible.
Margo Brown
17.09.2023I think its fair to ask once bc nondisabled people sit there all the time, but u should have just said "i need this seat i am disabled," and any further prodding is a form of harassment. No one should be forced to fork out private medical information. That why people with a service animal are only required to say they are disabled, not what their disability is.
maria paz
17.09.2023Disabled people shouldn't have to justify their disability. This is more important if you consider that not all disabilities are visible, like people with head injuries, heart conditions, muscular atrophy, etc.

17.09.2023NTA. Shame the Karen's into oblivion. Make them never want to speak again
destiny marie
17.09.2023My go to is always "due to my underlying health conditions that are neither visible nor any of your business, i have every right to be seated here."
satinizer
17.09.2023nah, no one owes anyone any reasoning for why they might have to sit. there are disabilities that are not visible. if the woman had enough strength to go and get a conductor instead of just asking someone else to give her the seat, then she would've been perfectly capable of standing throughout her entire ride.
Le7emeChat
17.09.2023Nta, she just learn you cannot judge book by their cover, that's all.
Iman Mohamed
17.09.2023tbh the whole thing wouldnt need to escalate if she said see had a prosthetic leg from the start. Doesn't take much time to do so.
Anonymous Cause Why Not
17.09.2023Nope! Some people have disabilities that are not visible, and those seats are for them as well. What if she was missing a lung? That elderly lady earned a valuable lesson that day.
toby hollis
17.09.2023moral of the story: stop assuming someone isn't disabled just bc they don't look disabled or they are young.
you have no idea what issues they could be dealing with.
Potato Yes
17.09.2023Well it makes sense,
If it looks like you don’t have a problem and you refuse to explain you can’t expect everyone to just be like
“Yes Ofc take the seats that are for people with problems”
Schaschia
16.09.2023Not all disabilities are apparent. I for one dont count as disabled but i show my surgery scars prouldy so people dont effing touch the arm with hyper sensitive nerves all the time. Its my history and honestly pain management is what i got good in while other god their math grades in check
Yao Tzio
16.09.2023Nah fuck that. Don't ever assume. I got nerve damage all in my body and I'm on 100% disability. I got my fair share to people talking crap about me parking in disability, even when I have the placard. I just tell them call the fucking cops and they can prove its mine. Not one of my elders
Jenni Heinänen
16.09.2023Rude people are everywhere. I remember one post about a rude mom who demanded that op let her kid into the disabled bathroom he was using. They didn't want to go to a normal one since it was a bit further away. When told that it was for disabled, the woman yelled "you don't sound disabled." When the guy came out with his leg in cast and cruches, he said "Well I sure feel like one!" the rude mom hightailed it out of there.
Kitty
16.09.2023Nta. Even if you didn't have the prospetic, younger people also can have invisible disabilities that could also warrant them needing the disable seat. She should of accepted that she wasn't getting the seat

16.09.2023No end of the day u dont need to tell people and there no need to ask yes some people abuse this but a good person wont
I Solo You Relax
16.09.2023Nta however. You're gonna be living with that leg forever. Get over what others think about it and think about you. You'll live a much better life.
Nóra Renáta Hidas
16.09.2023It's very hilarious when elderly people says that our generation is the worst because bla bla bla, but when it comes for sock people who because of modern science can get out of their house and efing stay alive, which didn't happen too much in their time, they became the generation who can't handle a single thing that they didn't meet before they were 30. Like, I know there are a few, but this type of story is happening a lot, and similar ones, when old people assume things just because we are younger. And they say we are childish 😂😂😂
Isobel Carmichael
16.09.2023Legally, you don’t have to show proof of a disability. The conductor should not have taken her side in this situation at all
Remco van Hartevelt
16.09.2023You are not an elderly pregnant disabled women right?
Dapper Ghost
15.09.2023It's all changed as soon as he mentioned the leg
Marco Frey
15.09.2023Yes you are al wrong for not telling straight away what the heck why? Because of some self-confidence issues
No one blames you for having lost your leg but I blame you for being such a boy
Rohan
15.09.2023NTA, but the woman also is NTA, because she does have a good point from her perspective, here's some punk kid taking up a reserved seat than refusing to move.
ShadowSorcerer
15.09.2023Just bc somebody doesn't seem to be disabled doesn't mean they aren't disabled. Some disabilities aren't physical
becky jones
15.09.2023My ex has cerebral palsy and was actually told off several times by busy bodies who thought him a lazy kid until he got up.
Several times he fought against it but I'll never forget 2 old women who entered the bus one day.
We were on the way to college and 2 women bordered. They started really havig a go at my ex for sitting in the reserved seats. The ones that he founf easier to manover from then to have is legs in the tight isle seats.
They just wouldn't stop even when we explained. The didn't u or didn't care. They were adamant he was just a no good teenager.
By the way they sat just fine in the isle something again my ex struggling with.
Finally we got to our stop the women still bitching until we stood up and they saw his one leg dragging and the other curved inwards shuffling with his arms jolted out at his sided.
They got really quiet as I helped him down the steps to balance him on the last step down.
Just because he could speak clearly and was a teenager he got a shit ton of disrespect from older people.
P. S. This was not the reason we broke up. We had different wants for the future that neither of us were willing to budge on.

15.09.2023Na, she was being unreasonable. People are not entitled to your personal medical information. If someone challenges you, you state that yes I do need this accomodation, then that should be the end of discussion. Just because a disability isn't visible doesn't mean it's not real. It's always my biggest fear in public that someone will challenge me on my use of motor carts or other such accessibility items because my disability isn't visible. I have fibromyalgia which causes me severe joint pain and I tire really quickly. I usually use a cane but I worry that if I forgot it, people would harass me.

Health problems/disabilities aren't exclusive to old people
I hate when an older person assumes you're fine because you're young
Sorry you're old and can't change fate…but I have health/disabilities problems too
